The outstanding event is the con- cert at the Marine barracks by the United States Marine Band, which will be served to the New York audience of broadeast listeners ultaneously with the Washington listeners-in by station WEAF. The other feature is a studio production of scenes from the works of Shakes- e by Charles B. Hanford, noted Shakespearean actor, and supporting artists. Those who will support Mr. Hanford 'in the Shakepearean pro- gram which has been arranged in commemoration of the birthday of the Bard of Avon are Eldridge Mon- roe, Mrs. William Henry White and Mrs. Charles B.

CRIME TALKS FASCINATE. Criminal psychology offers a great amount of interest to the average per- son, and the weekly discussion by Di Henry P. Fairchild, which WJZ broad- easts direct from his classroom at New Yori University, have afforded the radio fans much instructive entertainment dur- ng the past two months. Tnder the title “Problems of Crime’ Dr. Fairchild deals with the mental eogitations of some of the most fameus eriminals in recent history, explaining the astute cleverness with which the farees of law and order must cope in he enforoement of the rules of civiliza- tion, and his lectures assume more of romance and adventure, suspense and excitement, than is ordinarily expeated Zsam . college classroam addomss, for an el bre on a a very there will solution necessary Long Range Radio Entertainment WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1924.
