Station WBT Is Presenting New Programs

Adventures Of Helen and Mary, Scheduled For Saturday, Will Appeal To Children.

Radio station WBT, through Program Manager L. A. Laudeman, calls attention to several peaks of high class radio entertainment to be presented over the South's pioneer broadcasting station during the weekly following July 30.

Children in the radio audience will be interested by the adventures of Helen and Mary, which win be on the air Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. This feature will offer, in the form of a drama, a familiar fairy story, sparkling with all sorts of dazzling adventures, in which magic, witchery, and evil spirits will be combined in a way that will charm every youthful listener. There will be appropriate musical background, in addition to such carefully worked-out sound effects that the hero and heroine, together with their enemies, the old witch, the villain, and the dragon will seem to be in the very room with the listener.

At 4 P. M. Saturday afternoon, will be presented dancing by the sea. The program will offer distinctive dance melody. It will feature a spot-light number by His Majesty the Ocean, presenting the actual pounding of the sea on the shore. Imaginative listeners may be able to see "old Triton rising from the waves," or hear "old Proteous blowing his wreathed horn."

Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the Cathedral hour will be on the air. This feature will consist of classic music and a really outstanding sermon. The period presents an outstanding program of dignified worship.

Cousin Elizabeth, with her chat, will be at the microphone Monday morning at 9:45. She will give a fifteen-minute talk on foods, and how to serve them attractively, temptingly, and economically. Cousin Elizabeth's discussions have become more and more popular with each presentation, as well as more and more entertaining and instructive. She has prepared for Monday some unusually interesting suggestions.

Dr. Luther Little, pastor of the First Baptist church of Charlotte, will broadcast thoughts for the day Tuesday morning at 10:30, and a resume of the Sabbath day lesson for the following Sunday on Friday at the same hour, Dr. Little's discussions on these occasions will be terse, pointed, and presented in a most pleasing and instructive manner.

Cliff Carlisle, popular recording artist and radio star, with his hill billy songs and guitar selections, will be on the air Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. Cliff will bring to the microphone the very atmosphere of the barn dance, or the genial guitar soloist among his friends on some moonlight night. He will play numbers whose popularity have been proved by many requests which he has received for them.

On Wednesday evening at 9:15, Bob Mitchell and Bill Elliot, universally known to the WBT audience as Bob and Bill, will greet their many friends for a fifteen-minute presentation of popular organ and vocal selections. Mr. Mitchell at the organ will play three hit numbers of the day, while the tenor voice of Bill Elliott will be heard in the rendition of two songs.
