space by radio will be made this eve-
ming when four great stars Of the
stage, actually in four distant parts

they will be in such close contact
with each other by microphone, that
one of them will introduce the other
three and act as general master of
ceremonies for the program. Fur
thermora-the master of ceremonies

selections, and comment on the
songs and comedy with his fellow

than 1900 and most of them more
