Both the afternoon and eve- ning schedules are affected by the | change which will introduce three outstanding new attractions. Chief among the new features will be the premiere of the Peerless Re- producers, a com- plete symphonic ensemble recruited from the ranks of the New York and Philadelphia phil- harmoni sym- phonies, who will give the fi series of wide from 12:30 to o'clock Another will bring the National Light Opera Co. before the microphone for a series of light opera presentations, the first one tonight being a condensed version of *“The Chimes of Normandy.” The third new attraction will be a period described as “Famous Songs and Those Who Made Them,” with Reinald Werrenrath, famous American beritone, who is seeking to do for song what Walter Damrosch has done for symphonic music. For his opening pro- gram Werrenrath has chosen songs which he knows the American public likes. These include the “Gypsy Love Son; ‘Danny Deever.” and Oley Speaks’ arrangement of the famous “On the Road to Mandalay In the absence of the Weymouth | American Legion Post Band, the Stet- son Parade this afternoon will be pro- vided by the Summer Serenaders and a brass orchestra of picked musicians. ‘Their program will be varied, run- ning the gamut from short overtures written in fox trot form to the operatic compositions of Offenbach.

She is Mrs. Alta Cohen. the “Cookie, California, Sunshine ,” and the composer of such song hits as “Cana- dian Caper: Venetian Moon” and “Why Dear The Atwater Kent hour again will present Graham McNamee in the role of a concert baritone.

BUGGY POPULAR. DEAUVILLE, France (#).—The open victoria, drawn by a horse and driven by a coachman, is still flourishing here. The residents of Deauville who do not own their own automobiles consider a horse and coachman far more chic than & for-hire motor. As a result horses are sleck and well fed and carriages have clean, betasseled canopies and seat cov- s with | RADIO GOSSIP Having announced fits _reallocation plan changing the power allotments and frequencies of more than 70 per cent of the broadcasting stations in the United States, the Federal Radio Commission now is in very much the position of a government which has just declared war and is confronted with the neces- sity of fighting it out. ';h! flrgt sw% in this direction, subse- quent to the announcement of the real- location itself, was a statement by the commission telling how it has arranged to have assistance given to broadcasters who must make mechanical changes in their stations. An arrangement has been entered into with the Bureau of Standards and the radio division of the Department of Commerce whereby the | former will calibrate piezo oscillators for the various stations without charge. while the latter will co-operate with all stations in adjustments to the new fre- quencies. The commission has been careful to point out, however, that the Bureau of Standards requires all equipment sub- mitted to it to be in working order and will not undertake any manufacturing or repair work. Likewise, broadcasters are warned not to send in any equip- ment without having made arrange- ments in advance. | The foregoing arrangement doubtless will be of great assistance to the broad- casters. It also will serve the purpose of foreclosing pleas for extensions of time on the ground that there has not been sufficient allowance made to work out the mechanical changes neces- sitated by the reallocation. And the commission is anxious that there be no further delays in putting the new plan into effect. On the legal wing of the battlefront, the commission’s staff of attorneys, headed by General Counsel Louis G. Caldwell, has executed a strategic movement, the net result of which is that any station which may be dis- satisfied with its allocation must take the initiative and, furthermore, must attack on the battleground chosen by the commission. This is brought about by the plan whereby existing licenses have been renewed until November 11, and renewal licenses dating from No- vember 11 will be issued about October 12. Any station that is not satisfied will then have to ask for a hearing and convince the commission that it has erred in its reallocation assignments. Members of the commission express the belief that there will be little con- troversy about the reallocation pla but, informally, there are some admis- sions that there is trouble in the offing from some quarters. In other words, the commission is praying for peace and keeping its powder dry. Audition Contest Started. The search for Washington's best amateur singers is on. Aiming to discover a future grand opera or radio artist among the boys and girls of Washington, who are ap- plying for the Second National Radio Auditipn awards of $17,500 in cash and music conservatory scholarships, the District of Columbia audition commit- tee has set October 24 as the date on which 1t will give applicants their final hearing. Seventeen local vocalists already have applied to be heard in the local audi- tion. An executive committee to ar- range for the judging of the local audi- tion is composed of Mrs. Huston Thomp- son, Mrs. Gertrude Lyons, Miss Helen Fetter, Percy S. Foster, Maj. Oliver P. Newman and Capt. William H. San- tlemann. ‘The eight best singers of all Wash- ington applicants—four girls and four boys—will be selected by a series of preliminary eleminations for participa- tion in the final District of Columbia audition on October 24. This final will be broadcast by WRC, with the radio audience casting votes which will count 60 per cent in selecting the winners. Ballots cf a selected jury of musical authorities will count 40 per cent in selecting Washington's champions. All amateur singers between ages of 18 and 25, inclusive, are eligible to par- ticipate in the audition.
