Vernon Dalhart, best known for his "Prisoner's Song." He will be supported by Arnold John-eon's orchestra, Wendell Hail, master of ceremonies, end other Majf stlc Theater entertainers.

Dalhart was btrfuu In Texas, wheie at the age of three and while still wearing dresses he Imitated hla Daddy by playing the harmonica and Jews harp. At 12 Vernon was punching cattle and crooning cowboy at 15 he was working In Dallas hardware store and singing bluhely behind the counter. A customer heard Mm, offered to back him for a musical education and In a short time Dalhart was holding a position as soloist In a church chol-. AmMtlon Wins Ambitious, the young Texan came to New York: reaching the Big Cliy wearing a wide brimmed black bat, khaki shirt and checkered trousers. He got a Job In the shipping office of a large piano bouse, spent all hi spare money on a musical education and at the end of five years was on the road with an opera company.

Dalhart 's big ambition was to make records. For seven years he tried and finally got a flve-mlnute appointment with Mr. Edison. Th five minutes lengthened to two hours, during which Dalhart sang one of songs through an old-fashioned phonograph horn Into the ear of the deaf Inventor. Even that Interview did not get his name on any records but a short time later "Can't You Hear Me Calling.

Caroline" did please Mr. Edison, and Dalhart started his record career. Not long after came "The Prisoner's Song." which brought Dalhart lame, fortune and demands for more heart-throb songs. He found abundant material In the songs of the South and the Southwest. On the Majestic program this evening Vernon Dalhart and assisting artists will offer many new, quaint and humorous selections after the mannei that has made his organization so famous.

The present disturbances In Palestine, especially In Jerusalem and Hebron, add a particular interest to the travel talk at this time. "The Walling Wall" ha been a bone of contention for centuries between Arab and Jews and late last year It witnessed a serious strife, the report of which was heralded all over the world. Within the last few days this noted Wall has again come Into prominence because of more disturbance by it. During hi recent visit In Jerusalem Mr. McClellan visited this Walling Wall on the west wall of the Temple Area over In the Jewish section or quarter of Jerusalem and was accompanied by several Jews, who gave htm many reasons for the disturbances here.

He also talked through an Interpreter with several Arab about the Wailing Wall In thl afternoon's talk Mr. McClet. Ian will give some of the features of the discussions and he will describe this wall In detail. The service, which take place every Friday at 4 o'clock, the eve of the Jewish Sabbath. Why Is It called the "Wailing Wall?" What Is this service every Friday and why? How old Is this wall? All these questions will be answered by Mr.

McClelaln this afternoon. Doubtless on account of this subject the radio audience thla afternoon will be greatly enlarged- of the Temple area. He will tell Its history and give the reasons why this wall has caused and la occasioning auch dispute. He will also intimate why Palestine today la being perturbed and why Jerusalem and Hebron and other places in the Holy Land are witnessing so much serious trouble.

Harriet Lee. who Is featured every week by the Columbia Chain and about whom there Is a feature story on this page, will come on WWNC the week of October l.V She specializes In beautiful halhtri and has a voice so deep In range that she can easily Imitate masculine singing.

Once she sang Incognito with Ted riorlto's hand for an extensive engagement. While the band played for the dancers at the Edgewater Reach hotel, Harriet would sit ronrcaled In a booth hack of the orchestra and sing with the appeal of a Kudy Vallee. As a result, many nmh notes and telephone rails were received from the flappers who were smitten hv the singing of Ml Lee. The Majestic Theater of the Air tenor. Redferne Hollinshead.

High radio and government officials have agreed that there la no danger of the radio supplanting the country press. The country newspaper haa no competition.

He records their births and deaths, their Joys and sorrows, and all the happenings of dally existence. The country newspaper Is as essential as the courthouse, the postofhee and the school building.

HARRIET LEE IS II Deep Voice Sounds Like A Man's Over Radio As She Sings By ALMA SIOIX hCAKHKK II NEW YORK We don't expect much argument from the boys around the broadcasting studio where Har- riet Lee holds fort when we tell you that, in our humble opinion, she Is about the prettiest girl on the atr. In other words, Harriet is a honey! Golden blonde hair in a flat finger wave curving over her lovely head and blue eyes with a deep. Intelligent expression. Creamy akin. Tall and Just slender enough to look wholesome and girlish.

A true American type of beauty. We have a surprise for the Jolks out around Chicago. It never has been told before. Harriet assures us. She la the mysterious "Bobby Lee" who used to broadcast with Ted Fl-orito's orchestra at Edgewater Beach.

The "mike" was in a little room off the dining room and Harriet never was eeen by her public. She wore small ear phonea to listen to the muslo while aha warbled. Letter! From Girls It was the general opinion that the clever crooner and mean bluea was a man. Many and many were the letters written by amltten girls wanting to have Just one look at Bobby Lee, to see whether "he" waa as good looking as "his" voice was appealing. And they used to keep the telephone buzzing, wanting to have just a little word with Bobby.

This amused Harriet very much. It was an tntrlgulne stunt, and a good publicity gad. When her fans find out that she la also the famous "Aunt who had the Children's Hour every nlaht with the "Pled Piper," ther probably will have to have the smelling salts. She was one of the best known radio stars In Chicago for four and a half years hrfore coming to New York. Still Can Hear Her Now she is on a coast to coast hnnk-up and her Chlcaeo cane; can still tune in end hear "Aunt May" dear Auntie Mav who used to put the little folk to bed ao sweetly sine red hot sones thst make Dame Sophie Tucker look to her posies as the "Inst of the red hot mamma." It is Impossible to imagine Harriet Lee sinning In such a deep contralto that she sounds like a man.

She is so entirely feminine tn her speaking voice and manner. For that matter. hotsv totsy MttJe blonde haa two very distinct sinking voices. So that she can switch suddenly from a manlv blue sone to a ladvlike vodel. Harriet has Just pone through a movie tft.
