BYRD To HEAR
WERRENRATH
OVER RADIO

History may repeat itself, but
history is by ON means singular in
this respect.
We might agree that the
phenomenon in question is merely
incidental, or attribute it to q
sudden radiotic impulse on the parts
Of the individuals involved. but 1t
has been q queer week alright,
alright.
The summer plods on in its own
Inirnitable way and suddenly artists
we have not heard over the radio
since the frost was on the ground
appear on the August horizon, not
only for q passing radio appearance,
but for q repeat within q few days.
In this instance we have Reinald
Werrenrath. whose name blazed
forth in radio headlines two days
ago, filling the complex role OF
master Of ceremonies, soloist and
director, when WGY and its short
wave stations transmit their semi
monthly program of entertainment
to Antarctica tonight.
On this 10 o'clock program
sponsored for Comdr. Richard Byrd,
the famous record and concert artist
will offer some rolliclting songs Of
the sea, some rousing. sweeping
songs like Mandalay and Boots and
some of the colorful traditional
ballads 50 familiar as . part Of each
Of his programs.
Piano Twins Off
Looking down the WRC program
IL is with little reluctance that
announce Amos n Andy at 10
o'clock. The popular blackface
comedians undoubtedly have q ire
mendous following. but 50 have the
Piano Twins, Lester Place and Rob
ert Pascocello, who are necessarily
erased from the schedule at this
hour.
However a Capital program may
be expected from WRC when the
General Electric hour is broadcast
at 8 o'clock. Gladys Rice, soprano,
will offer Grainger's Country Gar
dens" and Goldman's my Heaven
of Love- aR request specialties. Nat
Shilkret will WELD the baton that
is to guide the orchestra through
wagner's overture "Tannhauser.
Another instrumental high light will
he a violin solo by Yacob Zayde,
Saint Saens' Introduction and
Rondo Capriccioso."
