. WRC WILL CARRY ROKY'S PROGRAMS Precedent Broken to Put Lo- oal Station on “Blue” Net- work for Series. Definite announcement was made today by S. L. Rothafel (Roxy) that the programs of his “gang.” who will resume broadcasting February 28, will come to Washington radlo listeners through Station WRC. While the Roxy programs will be broadeast through the ‘“‘blue” network of the National Broadcasting Co., with which WRC is not affiliated, the great radio impresario indicated that he | was able to arrange to have the Washi' zton station added to the hook- up. Roxy’s announcement was made in a letter to the radio editor of The Star, which follows: “I' can now definitely inform you that when we hroadcast over the | ‘blue chain’ of the National Broad- casting Co.. WRC will be added to this chain, breaking a precedent es- tablished by this company. for which 1 am deeply grateful “It seems to be intimated in sev eral articles I have read in the vari- ous columns that it was up to me| whether or not 1 wanted to come to Washington. 1Is there any one who! thinks that I would skip my old friends? If you had known the battle that T put up, you would not doubt | my desire to come through Washing ton dircctly. Even when it looked | dark for a time, I managed to procute a line into Walter Reed Hospital, which the company promised me. but now I am proud to announce that we shall be heard through WRC and we will try to give a program that will mark a new standard in radio bread casting.” Again last night dialing produced good results. Static was almost com- pletely obliterated, and there was nothing to complain about except per- haps the continued congestion on the wave lengths, which produced consid- erable heterodyning. Signals came in with clarity and good volume. 7 The ether had adjusted itself early for good reception, and, as a result, stations in the Middle West were tunable before the last rays of day- light faded. The chimes concert at WOC, Davenport, lowa, was heard clearly between and 7 o'clock, as well as the subsequent program of popular music. Signals from the North and South- west seemed to be somewhat stronger than usual. Two of Canada’s stations, CNRO, at Ottawa, and CKCL, at To-| ronto, fairly roared into the loud- speakers. WSMB, at New Orleans, @lso came through with added volume. A tabloid version of the Gilbert & Sullivan comic opera “Mikado,” sung by the WEAF Light Opera Company, appears as the headline attraction to- night on the program of WRC. The soloists who will be heard, under the direction of Cesare Sodero, include Adele Parkhurst, soprano: Frances Paperte, contralto: Harvey Hinder- meyer and George O'Brien, tenors; Theodore Webb, baritone, and Jack Oakley, bass. WRC also has listed its regular Wednesday night features, the Ipana Troubadours, the Smith Brothers and the Davis Saxophone Octet, in addi- tion to a new attraction known as the National Cavaliers, a male quar- tet, which it will import from New York via WEAF. Fred Van Epps. noted banjo so- loist, will be the guest artist with the Troubadours. He will play Felix Arndt's “Nola,” which was_originally written for the banjo. Van Epps plays the five-string instrument with his_bare fingers. Two other features scheduled by WRC are the weekly concert of the United States Army Band and a re. cital by Katherine Floecker Cullen, | ‘Washington pianist.
