L. A. Laudeman, director of programs of broadcasting station, WBT, announces several new features scheduled for presentation during the week. Since the installation and dedication of WBT's new 25,000 watt super power transmitter, many new programs have been added to the schedule of the station, and reports indicate that they are being enthusiastically received by radio listeners throughout the south.
One of these new presentations is a program filled with a thousand laughs, an entertainment bright with smiles and fun, which is broadcast by four inimitable gentlemen of color who call themselves the Dark K-nights. It is a feature characterized by dark humor, dark plots, dark mysteries, climaxes, solutions, brightened by the amazing innuendo, repartee and happy-go-lucky jests if the eminently respectable Bubber Wilson, proprietor of Wilson's social elite pastime pool and billiards parlor, incorporated and limited; his helper and general factotum, the weasel—with no name recorded—; the Honorable Barrister Ambrose Mordecai Moody; and Alex Profus Swink, proprietor of the Acme Barber Shop for the white trade, the Dark K-nights are on the air every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening from 9:45 to 10 o'clock. Each of them is the proud possessor of a personality entirely unique, wholly different from anything else on the air, and the situations in which they inevitably find themselves are indescribably and explosively humorous.
Songsmiths On the Air
Those designers of melodic fabrics and extraordinary tone combinations, the Songsmiths, will be on the air Tuesday at 9:45 P. M. The Songsmiths are an unique group of musicians and they have prepared a program of rare attraction and beauty for their Tuesday broadcast. They will specialize in modern-classics and popular hits of the day, artistically arranged in a way calculated to win the approving ears of all hearers. Every number has been specially transcribed for this novel group—arranged with care and precision to enable the Songsmiths to bring out to the fullest all the beauty and feeling of each of the numbers they play.
Friday evening at 8:30 o'clock, the Swanee Revue returns to the air. This gay, fast-moving musical potpourri of current song hits is presented in the modern manner by the Modernists, conducted by the genial WBT maestro, Billy Hamilton, with the vocal assistance of some of the outstanding soloists in the southland. Among those to be heard on this week's program are the three majors, a novel vocal trio; Bill Elliott, silver-voiced tenor; Al Garr, well-known and justly famous balladeer, and the Four Gentlemen From Dixie, popular WBT male quartet.
