WATR RambIings
BY JIMMIE PARKER

Debut ... WATR offers its morning listeners a new program tomorrow at II o'clock. A young man who has had experience at .WTIC Hartford become a regular part of the WATTS schedule with a program of piano melodies of the type everyone enjoys. Ken meth Thompson is the name, ard he sports piano style which is unique. Following his belief that 99 per cent of radio listeners like to listen to the old time popular songs occasionally, Kenneth r'iil feature such well-kno"yn melodies as Missouri Waltz, There's q Long, Long Trail and "GloT- Worm" for the most part. We urge you to catch this late morning spot and predict that ill just q short time it will become one Of Waterbury's favorite a. m. pro- grams.
 Your correspondent was pleas antly surprised on Tuesday night to hear that little gal with the big voice, Martha Kaye, do straight chorus of I've Got You Under My Skin" on the Jolson program. Bless my bicuspids. that lady has voice when she doesn't try to disguise 1t with those jn-, human yells she usually employs. To our sensitive ears she sounded amazingly like that grand female vocalist, Frances LangfOrd :. and that's something! We're looking forward to more of the same from Miss Kaye. Here's hoping someone who has the power to guide Martha's foot steps realizes what an improve ment the new style is over the old. Don't mistake us, however, We don't recommend that she give up comedy altogether. She's too good a comediemc for that. But a little goes a l0l;g way. Variety Is the spice of life and such. "rl
 WATR listeners who were dis appointed at not hearing Ruth Robbins, popular Intercity vocal- ist, last Saturday morning will be pleased to know that this girl with the personality voice returns to the airways this Saturday. In- stead of at 11:45, however, Ruth will be heard 15 minutes earlier. Although she's but 16 summers, Miss Robbins is an accomplished artist and one of your colunmist's favorites. We have never met the lady. can't even boast of a foto. ;. but understand that shes quite attractive. This column will carry a grief biography of Miss Robbins tomorrow.
 Rehearsals are in full swing for another of the popular Rhyth- meeting programs, broadcast from the WATR studios every Sunday at 2:3O. Last Sundays show caused quite . sensation, we un- dcrs .al;d, and are glad to hear it. The talent heard on the half-hOuf has worked hard to develop sus- taining program, and the fact that the show went commercial aI- most immediately Is great trib- ute to them.
 Listeners who are looking for the accomplished Intercity or. ganist, Fern Scull, at 8:45 morn ings, should tune in 15 minutes earlier on Monday. Wednesday and Friday. Her console Cerenadc recently underwent a change Of time. so you may catch her a- 8:30 in the future on the morning mentioned.
 For al interesting quarter hour. we recommend the trice-weessiy radio sessions with Dr. M. W. Chappelle, psychologist. heard o' Monday, Wednesday and FridaJ at IA. And don't let that term. psychologist, frightcn you away; guarantee that Dr. hCappeIle will hold your interest every minute. It's another Intercity program released locally through WATR.
