A medley of Victor Herbert waltzes will be featured by Paul Whiteman's Orchestra in_its weekly radio concert tonight over WMAL and other Columbia Broadcasting System stations. ‘The Herbert gropp includes “Ange- lina,” “Kiss Me Again,” “Falling in Love ‘With Some One” and “Sweet Mystery of Love.” The program also contains a number of old and new dance hits with vocal interpolations by Jack Ful- ton, tenor; Bing Crosby, baritone; Mil- dred Bailey, “blues” singer, and the Ponce Sisters. In the Fada Salon hour, another out- standing WMAL presentation, David Mendoza and his orchestra will play a program made up entirely of composi- tions requested by the radio audience. The overture to “Cavalleria Rusticana,” called for by the greatest number of listeners, has the dominant place on the program. Delibes' “Naila” also is listed among the other selections. The entire program, however, is devoid of all jazz interpretations. Symphony on Program. The United Symphony Orchestra, with George Rymer, tenor, as the guest soloist, will provide WMAL's other major musical program. The orchestra will play selections from “The Merry Widow,” Debussy's “Golliwog's Cake- walk” and three other numbers. Ry- mer's contribution will be “The Song of the Hill." “Verdorgenheit” and “I Heard You Singing.” Jack Dempsey and James J. Corbett, both former world champions in the boxing ring, will present a sketch as a feature of the Radio-Keith-Orpheum hour, to be heard tonight over WRC and associated National Broadeasting Yo. stations. Dempsey and Corbett are now in Milwaukee, and the broadcast will be from a theater in that city. Other artists to take part in this pro- gram are Bobbe Arnst, musical comedy ingenue, and Yates and Lawley, har- mony singers, The “Roads of the Sky" series will open WRC's evening program. The speaker will be F. Trubee Davison, As- sistant Secretary of War for Aviation. Musical features will follow the talk. These include the Prophylactic pro- gram, the Eveready hour, the Clicquot Eskimos and the Michelin Men. Boy Pianist on WISV. Popular and light orchestral selec- tions, interspersed with quartet num- bers and vocal solos, make up the Eveready hour. The Prophylactic Or- chestra will play as its feature three Gershwin numbers—“Tell Me More,” “Little Jazz Bird” and “Swanee.” Louis Katzman’s Orchestra and three bari- tone soloists will present the Michelin program. ( Everett Stevens, 13-year-old pianist, Wwill _contribute to the musical portion of WJSV's program tonight. ~Other musical features include concerts by the Columbia Trio and the Silver String Revelers and a recital by Percy Silverberg, tenor. The value of the parent-teacher work to the public schools of Washington Wwill be stressed by Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant superintendent, in a speech to be broadcast tonight by WOL. The station’s musical offerings include the weekly Smith musicale and a joint recital by Estelle Hunt Dean, soprano, and Mary Gearhardt Hagen, contralto. RADIO COMMISSION MAY BE CONTINUED Congress Action Before December 31—Would Avoid Repetition of Chaos. The impression is growing that Con- gress will act some time prior to De- cember 31, 1929, to extend the life of the Federal Radio Commission as an administrative body for another year, rather than run the risk of a return to the chaos which existed just prior to the creation of the commission in 1927 As the law stands the terms of all the commissioners will expire at the end of the present year, and on January 1, 1930, the commission will become an appellate body to listen to appeals from the decisions of the Department of Commerce, which is scheduled to take over the licensing and other admin- istrative functions now exercised by the commission. Representative White of Maine, co- author of the original radio act, plans to introduce a bill to extend the life of the commission as now organized. However, Congress will have to act ‘with unusual speed to put this legisia- tion through. It is not expected that the House will take the matter up until the regular session, which begins in early December, and if the Senate, @s now seems probable, is still strug- gling with the tariff bill at that time there will be considerable difficulty in the way of putting a radio bill through. . Those who favor extension of the commission, however, are banking on the fact that something must be done by Congress or chaos will result. The Department of Commerce is not equip- ped at present to handle the work being done by the commission and Congress alone can provide that equipment. One of the arguments advanced in favor of prolonging the commission’s adminis- trative life is that litigation is now pending before the Supreme Court of the United States which, if decided ad- versely to the Government would dis- rupt the €ntire scheme of allocation of broadcastiug facilities now in opera- tion. This is the case station WGY of Schenectady which has challenged th: =cmmission’s power to compel it to share an assigned wave length with another station. A decision of a lower court favors WGY. It is pointed out that if WGY should be successful in ‘the Supreme Court there would arise a need immediately for a commission 1o attempt to unscramble the confusion that would ensue. Another feature of the situation is that there still remain many problems in te= radio field to be solved, quite aside from the regulation of broadcast- ing. For instance, the commission’s engineers are now experimenting with the wave band running from 23,000 kilocycles upward, a field as yet un- touched. Preliminary results are said to indicate the possibility that chan- mels in this band may be used success- fully for commercial . More- over there are the problems involved in television, picture broadcasting, and @ whole series of questions involving various phases of the short wave situa- tlon. It has been hoped that 'Congress might get around this year to a per- PROGRAM FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1929. of call letters, kilocycles on right.

Despite certain pessimistic views, the radio industry is beginning to talk about 1929 as “radio’s big year.” The month of September, which marks the introduction of many new broadcasting features and the beginning of intensive trade activity, finds manufacturers and dealers extending. their efforts to add more people to the radio audience whilé trying to convince set owners that it is time to “tune up” their receivers with necessary replagements. In contrast to the statement of Henry B. Richmond, president of the Radio Manufacturers’ Association, that the ra- dio business this year will probably not be as good as that of last year, a more | optimistic view is voiced by O. H. Cald- well, the former radio commissioner. September raises a curtain on an un- paralleled combination of cirsumstances favorable to the radio business, says Mr. Caldwell. Screen-Grid Receiving Set. The public, he asserts, is receptive to radio as never before, having full confi- dence in today’s sets and demanding the latest and best. Leading the public ex- hibition of new things in radio, which begins with the radio world’s fair in New York September 23 and continues with the Chicago trade show in October and various local expositions through- out the Autumn, is the new screef-grid receiving set. Its chief points of appeal are its higher sensitivity and increased amplification as well as its cheaper con- struction. “Wonderful broadcasting is ahead,” continued Mr. Caldwell. “Regular pro-l grams will have more headliners. Sports events will command a large radio audience. More programs relayed across the ocean from Europe are assured for the Fall and Winter.” Mr. Caldwell adds to these considera- tions the belief that the potential radio audience has been doubled by reason of the system of cleared (or interference- free channels) instituted by the Federal Radio Commission for the sake of bet- ter rural and remote reception. Best available figures tend to indicate that only about $200,000,000 worth of retail business was done by radio deal- ers in the United States during the i first half of 1920, The figure for all of last year was estimated at $650,000,000. Best Trade Season. ‘The poorest season in the radio trade is the third quarter, or the midsummer months. The best season is the final quarter of the year, particularly during the world series games, the foot ball season and the holiday gift buying riod. It is an interesting fact that the big cities of the country do most of the retail business in radio sets, tubes, speakers and other equipment. An analysis by the National Electrical Man- ufacturers’ Association of the latest quarterly report of radio sales and stocks on hand, prepared by the Depart- ment of Commerce, indicates that only about 14 per cent of the country’s total business is done in communities of less When Buying a New Radio Remember— ng Finer ppere v oS » Than @ St A demonstration in your home will prove it.
