The Victor program presented | last Thursday evening by Billy Murray, Henry Burr and the Inter- ' national Novelty Orchestra was perhaps one of the best that has been offered by the Victor people to date. While this program was of the popular variety the appeal was far more reaching than that of the past programs, which all have been of the operatio type. Announcing of this program was done by Murray and he put it over In a very pleasing manner. The eighth and final program to be presented by the Victor Company will go on the air March 26. Changes made in the wave lengths of various stations during the past weeks have placed some of them in a very bad hole. I have noticed that the old reliable KGO that could always be counted on at least several times during the week in the list of stations that were regularly received from the coast, is now using a wave of 361 meters and we have not been able to tune them in due to tl e Interference close to that band, for the past several weeks. KFKX at Hastings is also more or leap bothered with a great deal of interference due to being on a low wave where interference from the smaller stations hetrodyne their wave. One of the bright spots on the programs of WBZ is Leo Reisman’s Hotel Brunswick orchestra an excellent organization that puts plenty of “pep” into their playing. Two weeks ago we began the compilation of the number of times various popular songs and instrumental selections were broadcast and this is the result. “Blue Eyed Sally," 48 times; “I Wonder What Became of Sally," 56 times; “Charlie My Boy," 36 times; "Memory Lane," 32 times; “Red Hot Mamma,” 24 times; “Where Is My Sweetie Hiding?” 42 times; “Copenhagen," 39 times; "Follow the Swallows,” 47 times; “To Tired,” 32 times; “Hard Hearted Hannah," 20 times; "Doodle Do Do." 16 times; "Way Out in Kansas," 18 times; “Three O’clock in the Morning," 9 times, and "My Best Girl," 19 times. One night “Where Is My Sweetie Hiding,” was heard from eight dUforent stations and two of them were playing it at the same time. One of the outstanding features on the past week’s programs was the concert of the New York Police Band, broadcast from WLW Cincinnati, Saturday evening. This was the first time that this organization

has ever been broadcast and we hope that it will not be-the last time. Well, fans, it has happened. WFBM, the local station of the Merchants Heat and Light Company, has been received on the coast. Reports have been coming in to the local station thick and fast during the past week, including several from the Pacific coast. All are high in praise for the local station and Gus Edwards OrchestraReports are also being received from all along the East coast, Canada, Florida and Texas, which is quite a record for a station that is hardly two weeks old. According to reports reaching this department local radio fans are taking a real interest in the station, many reporting programs offered by the station compare with any on the air. Gus Edwards, whose orchestra provides the major portion of the programs, has received a great many requests for special numbers from radio listeners all over the United Canada. Mr. Edwards says that he is planning many special features that will be offered by the orchestra from time to time, and that they will enedavor to give the radio listeners of WFBM the latest up-to-date musical selections in both popular and concert numbers. A studio for special broadcasts that cannot be put on from the 'lning room of the Indianapolis Athletic Club is now being erected at the club. Vocal solos and other numbers that will be used to fill in between the orchestra selections will be broadcast from this studio. This is being done In an effort to give the listeners fast-moving programs without any waits or delays between the numbers. A switchboard will also be used to connect the station with the various remote control lines that are used throughout the city for the broadcasting of special programs. When this is installed all that will be necessary to change from one location to another will be the throwing of a switch. With this sort of a control board in operation it will be possible to broadcast programs from several different points in one evening. IJse a Large Dial When trouble Is experienced with tuning, because stations are easily passed, and the tar docs not want to go to the expert of Installing a vernier, try a dia four or five inches in diameter, instead of the \”ual three inches. This makes it easier to get right In the center of the wave. Vernier or a large dial is necessary on sharp-tuning ests.
