Beethoven's oratorio, "T h e
Mount of Olives" will be pre-
sented in it's entirety during the
Cathedral Hour, under the di-
rection of Channon Collinge,
from 2.to 3 p. M, Sunday, Febru-
ary %, through WMAL and the
Columbia network.
The work contains some of
the most notable and some of
the most robust of Beethoven's
religious music. Before it could
be produced in England early in
the Nineteenth century the story
had to be changed, and David
substituted as the protagonist,
as it was then illegal for a repre-
sentation of Christ to appear as
parsonage in any performance.
The work soon became very pop
ular in the United States and
was frequently performed for
nearly a century. Today it is
comparatively seldom heard and
the radio revival is consider ed
appropriate to the first Sunday
in Lent.
Entertainers taking part will
be Julia Mahoney, soprano, Theo
Karle, tenor, and Crane Calder,
bass, supported by the Cathedral
Choir and symphonic orchestra.
We haven't had a statistical
spree for days. Hold on, while
we note that all the broadcasting
stations in the world, of which
there are 1900, would be worth
$28, TAO, ,376, and that it costs $71,-
425, 1857 to operate them in a year.
The total wattage is 1,986,879,
which is quite a splash in the
ether. The annual costs for wires
is $1O,00O,00O.
In the world, at the moment,
there are more than 24,000,000 re-
ceiving sets, and they would cost
you, if you wanted to corner them,
about a billion and half.
Owen Davis, whose previously
scheduled radio appearance was
postponed because of Pope Plus
broadcast from the Vatican sta
ton in Rome, will be heard Thurs
day, February 26, on the Five Arts
program of the Radio Home
Makers Club, from II to 11:15
a. M, over the Columbia network.
Davis, author of the recent
autobiography, I'D Like to Do

Perhaps a harbinger of spring,
the chief topic of Ted Huslng's

Saturday, February 81, on the
WABC- Columbia chain, will be

MIAMI WINNERS
OFF TOMORROW

The final preparations for the
care Of the winners of the Vaca-
tion in Miami have been made
and all that remains is for
these fortunate ones to board the
train at Union Station tomorrow
night at 10.
The Graylyn, the Ell Comodora.
the Columbus, the Urmey and
the McAllister Hotels have gone
to infinite pains to assure the
visitors of the utmost in comfort.
The city of Miami, whose guests
the winners will be for the week,
has made ample provision for
their entertainment, chief of
which will be the Walker-RiSko
go at the arena Tuesday night.
When the city'S representa-
tive approached Pop" Strib-
ling regarding tickets he in
sisted that the vacatiOners be
his guests for the event and
this, of course, assures them
of splendid view of the pro-
ceedingS.
Granted clear, safe, flying
weather tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock, the weekend in New
York winners will board the
great Ludington and Eastern Air
Transport liners for New York.
The Hotel Pennsylvania will ac-
comodate all IL of these week
enders during their holiday,
which in itself is a guarantee of
wonderful time.
A splendid program has been
laid out for these visitors, to
which they may conform or find
their own pleasures, as they will.
It being their holiday they will
please themselves.
The management of that new
show Philip Goes Forth tele-
graphed Andrew Kelley, dramatic
editor of the Times, to be sure
to have all IL of the winners at
the Biltmore Theatre Saturday
night to see the show, and the
Judge rates IL one OF Jne DeSC
shows in New York.
Then on Sunday night, the
gang has been invited to visit
the famous Roxy Theater. AS
no trip to New York is COM
plete without seeing ROxy's, it
is patent that Sunday night
will climax the weekend.
Saturday afternoon will belong
to the Warner Brothers, who
have made arrangements for the
winners to attend their Broad
way Theater. Many other inter
esting events are scheduled, but
as we said before, the winners
will have the privilege of pleasing
themselves.

Miller, known to police as a shop
LITTER and one-time sweetheart OF
Frank McErlane, notorious gang
ster, was found shot 10 death to-
day in McErlane's automobile. Her
body was riddled with bullets.
Miss Miller, also known as Mrs.
Mary Ryan, shot McErlane after a
quarrel in February, 1880.
Two dogs also were found shot
dead near the car. Police suggested
a theory that a gangster had quar-
relied with the woman. In the car
were two suitcases containing her
clothes and a revolver. she ap-
parently had dressed hastily, wear
ing house slippers.
McErlane was last heard from
officially on June S, when ne stood
on a south side corner and fired
a few shots TO amuse himself. When
arraigned the next day. he still was
affected by liquor. Shortly before
this incident, a married sister had
caused his arrest on a charge that
he bit her cheek in a fit or anger.
In the McErlane home today was
found evidence OF a liquor party
last night.
