That's a relief from jazz, anyway.
NEVER, even though the whole world
adopt it, will this department ever refer
to broadcasting as "radiocasting." Of all
the unimaginative, hard-sounding, machinelike
words invented, "radiocasting" is the most
disagreeable. When it comes over the air,

SOME have been heard over the radio lately,
but almost without exception the slow tempo
at which the songs were sung completely
ruined them. There was the
contralto who sang not long ago

heard from some other cities of but slight
musical reputation Certainly, one of the
Chicago stations can bring us something good.
