WRIGHT IS
STAR IN
AIR

Fair and calmer again describes
Che conditions of the wave lengths
last evening when fair volume
came through q much less noisy
atmosphere to deliver programs
from all sections. The South was
tuneabIe all evening and the Mid
West became more audible as the
night grew older.
Midst a tuneful assortment Of
all kinds and conditions of music
that came through loud speakers
last evening a talk on the big job
OF allocating wave lengths for
broadcasting entertainment and
enlightenment, by DIR. ]. Fl. Del
Ifnyer of the Bureau of Standards,
and a measured appraisal of the
peril of the Bill of Rights through
the existence of the Eighteenth
Amendment by Augustus Thomas,
dean of American playrights, ma de
the deepest impression.
DR.. Dellinger's talk came as part
of the new Radio Tricians" pro-
gram WRC is sending to the wide
world and served to establish the
fact that the Federal Radio Com
mission had a very difficult job to
perform in re-allocating the broad
cast wave lengths-and did very
we'll with it. At least that is the
Idea of the man who probably
knows more wave lengths by their
first names than any man in the
world. He also told listeners some
Interesting things about what the
Government is doing in developing
radio-although he did not tell them
that he was himself responsible for
most of the research and success
that has attended Governmental
efforts so far-which is tact.
Sam Kerman's Orchestra and Wes-
tell Gordonis tenor voice provided
music for the program.
TALKS
ABOUT CONSTITUTION
The Thomas talk was part of the
actors. authors and artists commit
tee aiding of the Democratic forces
to place the aims and virtues of
Governor Alfred E. Smith before
the public. which WMAL made au-
dfI,Ie in the late evening. Mr..
tory of the Constitution, and espe-
cislly of the bill of rights. and de-
clared rather positively he consid-
cred both endangered by the exist
cnce of the Eighteenth Amendment.
The serious part of the actors, ETC.,
program was relieved with songs
and comedy by George Jessl. Dan
Haley. Albert Won Tilzer and Sey-
mour Brown.
In the other sections of the eve
ning's radio entertainment most of
the programs delivered as usual.
MarcelIa Shields. the young woman
who bounced along the wave lengths
80 joyously in THE Show Girl two
weeks ago, was again star of the
Eeveready hour-but in a rather or
binary one-act play that gave her
little opportunity. Aside from
which the most important things
most of us heard were the announce
ments OF Ted Husing during the ac- |
tors affair from WMAL, using a |
number of brand-new ten-doIlar |
words he has acquired since leaving |
WRC-ahd the introduction of Will |
lam Lynch as an announcer from |
WRC. Mr.. Lynch. who has pleas. |
ing voice and microphone person
atty. came here last week for the
Radio Tricians" affair and likes
the town so we'll that he will remain
with WRC Indefinitely.
