As a result of policy, the station was in a pos to spend §65,000 for improvement. Elsie Janis' appearance in the Eveready Hour last night must have been a keen disappointment to most radio fans. Perhaps it was the fa-| mous American comedienne’s radio debut. If that was the case there some reason for her failure to fit he program to the microphone. Apparently doing whatever her spirit dictated, Miss Janis achieved a self-consclous but winning infor- mality between nmumbers, but undid her good chosen works with ill-chosen ones. TIn its straight: version “Unde- cided Blues”” was a pretty little noth- ing, reflecting nice and light on the voice of the singer. The hastily add- ed crapshooter’s version, however, was unintelligible, noisy and utterly devoid of humor and appeal. “Thanis for the Buggy Ride,” sung as M ¥thel Barrymore would do it with suave throatiness and sc sophis tication, was well worth listening to, but Miss s threw a dud with “Valen H Harry Lauder, Let’s hope Miss Janis returns again goon with a program planned eoadcasting purposes and that will | veflect credit on her known ability. | Broadeast reception last night was middlin’ fair.

Espe- clally was this true in signals orig jnating in the congested Midwest broadcast sector. The hockey game between the Bos ton Bruins and th Patric broadcast by WBZ from the Arena, provided . the night.
