Tonight on The Evening Wireless, W.T.Q.X. brings you another engaging half hour or so of news, sport, culture, and conversation from a nation finding its footing in the uncertain days of early spring.
Edwin Allen opens the program before offering his editorial reflections on the growing concerns of the American farmer, as debates in Washington turn toward relief measures, market stability, and the quiet but meaningful rise of radio as a modern tool upon the land.
Jimmie Sparks returns with a lively collection of flash headlines, capturing moments both curious and confounding. From Prohibition troubles to peculiar crimes and the lighter absurdities of the day.
Colonel Davies follows with remarks on the season in sport, where uncooperative weather has slowed the start of baseball, yet the spirit of competition shines through in the remarkable victory of Johnny Miles at the Boston Marathon, and the growing anticipation surrounding next month’s Kentucky Derby.
Vivian Cross presents another edition of The Hollywood Eye, turning her attention to the continued popularity of Rin Tin Tin, the shifting image of Norma Talmadge, and the lively dance floors of the modern picture house.
Diedre Kildare, in Women’s Concerns, offers thoughtful counsel on the complications of wealth and romance, and the importance of maintaining independence in matters both personal and practical.
Join us for an evening of reflection, wit, and the promise of spring’s return. Only on W.T.Q.X., modern radio for the modern 1926 audience.
