The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-02-13
/ ONGWORTH AIR
STAR TONIGHT

Rosa Raisa. whose early ambition
was to become a dentist was
thwarted when she was persuaded
to go deeper into the human face,
as It were, and cultivate the vocal
cords to divide honors with
Speaker Nicholas Longworth of the
House Of Representatives In loud
speakers this evening. Likewise
she will divide the time of tuners
with Speaker Longworth, because
they will appear on two different
programs operating at precisely
the same hour-from $3.50 to 1890
o'clock. Mime Raisa is to be the
star Of the General Motors ex-
ercises which come to Washington
through WRC, and Speaker Long
worth will deliver an address on
Abraham Lincoln before the
National Republican Club, which
will be widespread by VIZ and
some of its affiliated stations.
AS every great singer needs be
''most" something in order to fig
ure at all in the public prints
Mime. Raisa is rated the most
beautiful opera singer and the
fact is so apparent that most
people who can see her don't
care much whether she can sing or
or mot. However, in addition to
being beautiful of person, she has
also one OF the most beautiful
of soprano voices-Which is the
thing that counts in radio. Like
wise she has a quality Of mind
that directs her voice in its
singing so that the beauty of her
music is equal to that of her
statuesque figure and expressive
face. She is really a rare COM
bination and beauty and musical
brains and her program this even
ing will give her ample opportu'
nifty to display the latter.
GYPSIES WILL
SERENADE HOLSTERS
The Peoples Home Orchestra will
open the WRC program at $50
this evening, as Is usual Of a Mon.
day. Then comes Roxy and his
horde, followed by the cash and
carry Gypsies, who will serenade
the Hoosiers this evening and will
present Lewis James, tenor, as
guest artist. In view of some of
the things that appear on the
front pages these days the state
ment of the Gypsies that they will
play II Dreamt / Dwell In Marble
Halls" for Governor Ed. Jackson
is a coincidence, to say the least.
The Governors favorite ode, "On
| the Banks of the Wabash" will
also figure on the program. The
General Motors and the Time to
Retire Boys" will finish the WRC
entertainment, with the lie Paradis
band providing dance tunes for the
