ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

With a whole new year ahead of 1t, we're waiting for radio to show us something really new in that time. Radio certainly has enough opportunities during this year if 1t takes advantage of them. As we said in our radio editors ballot in the WorId-Telegram annual Doll earlier in week, what radio needs, in our estimation, is more informality. less of this split-second accuracy and ultra perfect timing .. Let's have more programs which follow the example of Ray Perkins CBS amateur nights and Jack Benny's haif-hour mixture of comedya and music. With new personalities to help bring about this informality, radio could make much greater strides in 1895 than it has in the past few years.
 The invariabIe arguments a- bout what is best dance Orcl1es- tra around these parts usually finds us on the sidclines for

 we might as we'll proclaim that our nominee for the best
 orchestra In this part of the state, and for that matter the entire state, is Mike DiVitO's
 Waverly Inn orchestra. i. To these rather critical cars they have, week in, week out, the

 Starting tonight. January 7th, at II o'clock, over an NBC-WJZ net- work, Jack Denny, orchestra lead CT, will inaugurate new series of sustaining programs from the Ho- tel BiItmore. He will interrupt his dance music and introduce Wilson Brown, well-known magazine writ CT, who will unfold interesting gos- sip about the radio stars. A feature of this chatter will be the answer ing of questions. Frequently the artist himself will be on hand to supply the answers. On the initial program of the new series. Lanny Ross is expected to reply personal ly to all those queries about his marital attitude.
 I'm the opinion of Don Bes-
 tor, the year 1884 did much to establish the dance Orchcs- tra as one of the outstanding factors of radio entertainment.
 This is indicated by an NEG survey taken a few months ago. It also is indicated, Bes.
 tor declares by the Oycrwhclm-
 ing number Of programs which now feature dance music. The dance maestro Is q tycoon a-
 long radio row. His autograph
 and photograph arc in greater demand than ever. He Is widc-
 Iy initiated. He creates new
 vOgues. Programs may come and go. but apparently, dance
 music will go OH forever.
