TRUNCATED BROADCASTS
Sir,-Here are two angry complaints from one evening’s sporadic listening. The recreated Caruso discs from 2YA on Sunday, June 20, made a singular presentation with the absence of the last published number in your journal, viz. "Ombra Mai Fu." Caruso’s perfection is too rare for such a miserly offering. Lack of running time could not have been the tyrant, for a substitute number was played. ‘Even more annoying was the decapitating of Wanda Landowski’s playing of "The Harmonious Blacksmith." The third variation was just under way with amazing dexterity when. suddenly-the rest was silence. What are we supposed to be? Groundlings with our ears split?
