Thousands of listeners will welcome the return of this popular conductor and combination to the air-Squire conducting before the microphone for the first time for seven years, the Celeste Octet broadcasting for the first time for three years. It was on the air regularly from 1923 to 1936, and was the father of all small orchestras, Squire making special arrangements for such orchestras as long ago as 1913. The Octet holds the record of going on the air without an audition and of having three dates fixed before its first broadcast. Dorothy Beastall's 'Looking
Backward '-an appropriate title for Squire's opening number-is to be heard for the first time on the air. Squire believes it to be the best melody he has heard for years.
