Holiday music will be featured. After the sing, Dickens' well-loved "Christmas Carol" will be read by B. C. Van Wye. Christmas music from many lands make the programs this week reminiscent of olden times. English carols, which will make the listener think of happy singers who sang their Christmas melodies under inviting windows, will be sung Sunday by the choir of the Emmanuel P. E. church at WBAL. Another headliner Sunday night is the return appearance of the Mozart choral club at WFAA, Dallas. Fresh young voices will make the ether a pleasant place for listeners Monday night. Rensselaer high school students are giving their Christmas program at WHAZ. At WOS, Jefferson City, the Christian college for young women is broadcasting its Christmas program. The Coast Guard Academy band will have R. L. Jackson, a fullblooded Indian, as special tuba soloist on the Tuesday program at WTIC, Hartford. He has played the tuba with many army bands. Male quartets are also competing for first place at WOC, Davenport, on Tuesday. The fair ladies appearing in the play "Fortuno," Wednesday night at KDKA, E. Pittsburgh, will not seem as beautiful or feminine over the air as on the stage. All these charming leading ladies, vamps and ingenues are talented members of the Princeton University Triangle club. Tune in and see if you can distinguish the leading lady from the leading man. No Christmas season is complete without a cantata or two. Midwest fans by tuning in WDAF this same evening may hear the Junior College glee clubs sing their annual cantata. Midnight mass will this year be broadcast over many stations. Two large churches, St. Patrick's church from WRC, Washington, D. C, and St. Peter's cathedral over WLW, Cincinnati, -will make it possible for people unable to attend this beautiful service Christmas eve. to have the music brought to them. Earlier in the evening the Italian harp quintet, made up of five attractive young ladies (who are pictured on page 19), will attract the fan at WHB. The children will again enjoy their annual Christmas day party at KHJ, Los Angeles, while also on Friday, the WGY players are giving three oneact Christmas plays which will attract the grownups who like the invisible theater.
