WA TRing With Charles Cutler

WATR's laugh of the month: Freddy Man in the Street" Halls sidewalk interview programs, heard over Waterbury's own station Tues days, Thursdays and Saturdays at 1:30 o'clock, was marked for 8 build-up and an advance notice on the State theater screen. The data on the program was sent to film company in New York and back came the completed trailer film in record time. It seems that some where between WATERS spacious of fees and the cinema concerns lab- oratories an Insignificant "in" was changed to 8 not so insignificant "of." AS result, our sidewalk in- terviewer is being ballyhooed at the State theater as, Freddy Man of the Street" Hall. Freddy, himself. offered no vociferous objections to the billing, but did manage to Stam- mer to Samuel Elman, station com- mercial director, Sam, don't you think "In the Street" would sound so much better than "of the Street?"
 The Connecticut Broadcasting Systems New Haven outlet, WELL, put their auxiliary short-wave sta- ton into service Monday in broad casting the gala New Haven Tercen- tenary events. Station Director Jim- my Milne, toured the Elm City street in palatial automobile rigged up with portable broadcast ing outfit and gave 8 splendid de- tailed account of the inspiring hap penings. WATR carried the pro- ceedings for an hour and a half and expects to bring other airings on the civil birthday to greater-Wa- terbury listeners.
 Songstress Helen Byrnes of WATERS "Vocalist in Review" show, assists tonight at Hamilton park in the musical portion of the testi- rnonial to Father Mulcahy. Only IT, Helen is an air-waves veteran, hav- ing past her third year in radio.
 It's 6 pleasure these colorful spring days to walk along the local streets and hear, with little effort, programs from our favorite station! No matter what section of Water bury we traverse, the vibrant tones of Waterbury's own station are dis cernible. On Grand street, the mu- sic shops, the automobile accessory stores are tuned A out of 5 to WATR. On Main and Bank street, too, its WATR. By the way, do you find, as we do, that your car radio is more receptive to the station at 1190 on the dial, WATR, than any other Connecticut station except WTIC?

 Finance has been one of the gamest sprinters in the country, but he never has been able to beat top company at the Derby distance.
 Whether Billmar will prove able to go a route any better remains to be seen. He is evidently the inn proving sort. and impresses as be- ing game and honest.
 Billmar was given only four starts last year. On his first time out, he was 10th in a race won by Lawrin. He gave good account of himself in being fourth to Mar Le. Paper Sun. and Carrying Time. He was again fourth to Pernie. Trade and Maeval, but in his last start he was knocked back and finished 10th.

Fred Warnings .Pennsylvanians Are Tuning Up
BY NORMAN SIEGEL NEA Service Radio Editor

New York, April 27-It took Fred Waring 12 years to get started on the radio. But when he finally did land a kilocycle spot it was as the leader of the highest paid musical aggregation in the history of broad casting.
 Fred's Pennsylvanians drew $13,- 600 broadcast. With the exception of Major Edward Bowes and Eddie Cantor it was the most expensive act in radio. Perhaps that's the req son they haven't been on the air for IS months. However, they're now coming back again.

 Although Fred's outfit was gen. erally regarded as the last of the big pre-depression bands to get in to radio, it first broadcast over WWJ in Detroit in 1921. The band also was heard over WIZ as far back as 1923.
 "It had no commercial possi- bilities in those early days of ra- dio," Fred explained to us. "Ra- dio was thinking in terms of the

New Haven, Conn.,, April 28. -- (UP) In a losely-played game, Brown University's baseball team overwhelmed Yale University, 15-8, here yesterday afternoon.
