Paul Whiteman's radio debut. over

broadcasts were high lights of an
evening filled with good things for
the listener.in.
Eddie Cantor, between acts of
"Whoopee," picked up the mike"
for a few we'll chosen words OF
greater commercial value than of
comedy interest. Whiteman's rou.
tine included the familiar jazz tunes
with the intriguing orchestrations
his musicians provide. The Eveready
hour had the Nathanial ShilEret
orchestra with a medley OF the
"Show Boat" hits, including "Of
Man River" among its program
gems.
The R.K-O hour was as finely a
routined program as ever went over
the air. Diversified and entertain
ing throughout. Frank Fay made a
great master Of ceremonies, intro
ducing Trene Franklin, Joseph
Reagan, and Annette Kellerman as
air headliners.
The Columbia chain offered radio
listeners another unexpected treat
at D. m. when the voice of Capt.
Frank M. Hawks, fresh from estab-
fishing a Pacific to Atlantic trans
continental nonstop air record, was
heard in a vivid and colorful story
of nerve-w -wracking and momentous
flight.
