 Sir Harry Lauder has finally sign ed radio broadcasting contract. Announcement by the National Broadcasting Company today states that the worlds foremost Scotch ! comedian has consented to appear before a microphone in Winnepeg, Canada, on Sunday evening, Septem- | Der l.
 His famous voice and hearty chuckle will be heard throughout l the "a United States and Canada | through a coast to- coast network of 36 stations associated with the NEG and three stations in Canada during the program from S:00 to S:30 that evening.
 The famous comedian has appear ed before a microphone in Europe but has never been heard through out the North American continent. For his North American debut, Sir Harry has chosen three songs which have endeared him to hundreds of thousands who have attended his concerts. They are, 'I Love Las sic" We Hoose 'Mank the Heather" and "Roamin' in the Gloamin'." He is scheduled to close his part of the program with his favorite hymn, as yet unannounced.
 For years program builders have dreamed of presenting Sir Harry to a vast American radio audience but. until now, it has been only dream. Several radiograms trailed the come dian from Australia to New Zealand and back again before it was learn ed that Sid Harry did not plan to tour the United States this year. Word finally came that he did plan to open his concert season in Win nepeg, Canada, on September 2.
 Undaunted by this apparent upset. the program sponsors immediately set about to have the comedian singer appear before microphone in a Canadian station. This was successful and. for this program, thirty-six coast-to-coast stations as- sociated with the National Broad casting Company will be linked with CKY, Winnepeg. In addition, two other Canadian stations, CKGW, Toronto, and CFCF. Montreal, will join for the program of songs by Sir Harry.
 Program directors of the Nation al Broadcasting Company are pre- pairing to meet Sir Harry in Winne- peg several days before his broad cast in order to initiate him in American microphone technique and to acquaint him with the methods by which to obtain the best micro phone results.

 Montclair, N. J., contributes the broadcasting services of Llewellyn Roberts from WOR tonight at 6:00 p. m. MT Roberts, a Welsh-Amerl- can baritone, hailed originally from Wales, "The Land of Song' and only this year won the first prize at the National Eisteddfod (singing festi- vaD at Scranton, Pa, the decision of the three adjudicators, being unanimous.
 It was in connection with the award that Dr. D. F. Jones who made it in behalf of his colleagues said:,
 "A real Welsh voice of much vol ume; in fortes very effective and also in pianos the quality was equal ly good-this performance was very excellent, and we had the privilege = of listening to a singer who posses. ses robust and healthy voice of ex- cellent quality, and who knows how ) to control and manage it. Indeed. the voice was the most humble serv- ant of very high standard of in- telligence."
 In MT. Roberts program are two numbers in Welsh, one of them. "Rhyfelgyrch Cad ben Morgan (Captain Morgan's March) being a legacy of the twelfth century.
