RADIO listeners in the British
isles were up in arms SATURDAY
II was the occasion of the tlrsC
attempt to rebroadcast in detah
an American football game. The
Harvard-Yale contest was selected
and all went we'll until late IN
the contest, when, with Harvard
leading at IA to 0. little Al0le
Booth was brought back into the
game. At that point the British
Broadcasting Company shut OH
the game from America ano
started in broadcasting its usual
weather reports.
A howl went up from the many
who were getting their first taste
of football as it is played in
America, but, of course, simply
howling did no good. Many COM
plants were registered with the
British Broadcasting Company
and mayhap next time an Amerl-
can football game is rebroadcast
it will be kept on to the end.

Since Otto F. Beck, solo organ
ist at the Rialto Theater began a
broadcasting program three weeks
ago, over WRC, his mail has grown
to such proportions that it has be-
come necessary to employ a spe-
cial secretary to handle it. A few
days ago Mr.. Beck asked over the
radio for special request numbers
from his listeners, and he was
promptly swamped with mail.
From one to 800 letters have been
arriving at the theater daily, and
the requests for Victor Herbert
numbers have predominated by at
least eight to one.
Because of this great demand
for numbers of the popular light
opera genius, Mr.. Beck has de-
Oided to put on a complete Herbert
program, and on Saturday morn
tnG. November 20, IL numbers.
s.en as many of his various popu-
lar operas will be played.
