ONCE more Hollywood furnishes
the charming theme for a Radio
Digest cover. Those who look, listen
and sometimes stop will
of course recognize the
alluring features of Miss
May McAvoy.
A princess in Cinema-
land, she oftentimes
visits 'her admirers by
way of Radio. She be-
longs to the Warner
Brothers royal line and it is therefore
logical that she is best known to the
KFYVB listeners. However, she is a
gay young thing, flitting hither and
yon, and has been introduced to vari-
ous Radio audiences through Eastern
studios.
Miss McAvoy was born in New
York and is probably best remem-
bered for her leading part in Sentimen-
tal Tommy, The Enchanted Cottage,
and more recently as a star with Al
Jolson in The Jazz Singer. And here's
a secret; did you know it was her
early ambition to become a school
teacher?
rPHAT there are a multitude of lis-
J- teners who adhere strongly to their
favorite orchestra organizations is in-
dicated by the great number of votes
received in the Radio Digest orchestra
popularity contest to date.
It is the first national contest of the
kind ever held. The trophies will
prove of increasing value in years to
come when other contests have come
and gone — these were the first awards.
T^VOUBTLESS every reader will find
-*-' a place for this issue of Radio Di-
gest in his permanent library. Besides
an alphabetical Who's Who of all the
known Radio artists, it contains a
handy reference to the most familiar
operas and musical numbers heard
over the air. It also affords a picture
album of wide scope. All future issues
will enlarge on this comprehensive
compendium.

Pledged to endure,
-this better STUCCO
T
O appraise the enduring quality of Oriental Stucco,
think in terms of more than one lifetime.
Think of the ageold structures in Europe which attest
the endurance of stucco. Oriental Stucco is basically the
same material. But through careful research and scientific
methods, it has been developed and improved to meet the
more exacting demand of the present.
This modern stucco is the complete answer to the problem
of color. In specifying Oriental, you may select just the
tint desired and be sure of a beautiful and uniform result.
In every respect, Oriental Stucco runs true to form. Every
ingredient is mixed in at the mill under conditions that
permit of no variation from standard. The product comes
backed by the reputation of the United States Gypsum
Company, the world's authority on wall finishing ma'
terials.

The National Stentor
MERLIN HALL AYLESWORTH of the National Broad-
casting Company in a Cyrus Fogg Brackett lecture be-
fore the Engineering Faculty and students of Prince-
ton University, under the title of "The Modern Stentor, Radio
Broadcasting in the United States," gives a vivid picture of
Radio in the scheme of things. Mr. Aylesworth said:
"Once upon a time a wise man said: 'There is nothing new
under the sun.' He was right. There is nothing fundamentally
new. True, there* are improvements and refinements, revisions
and alterations, fresh interpretations and novel presentations:
but, nevertheless, the basic ideas remain much the same
throughout the forward march of civilization.
"And so it is with Radio broadcasting. The basic idea — mass
communication — is as old as civilization itself, having had its
origin around the tribal camp fire when the spokesman
addressed his eager listeners. Word-of-mouth contact between
leaders and people has had its influence on history. Century
upon century found the homogeneous state largely dependent
upon how many individuals could be addressed at one time by
a spokesman. Putting the same idea another way, the man with
the most powerful voice commanded the greatest audience
and consequently the largest following. His might not be
words of rare wisdom, yet if he had the necessary physical
strength to fling those words to the gathered listeners, he be-
came a greater leader than the wiser man who lacked in
physical equipment. Bellows, rather than brains, obviously
carried the day.
"It did not take long for advancing civilization to appreciate
the enormous handicap of combining the powerful voice and
the deep thinker in one. The Romans were perhaps the first to
appreciate that the great brain was only too often accompanied
by a weak voice. The Romans, practical people that they
were, soon introduced a satisfactory system of mass communi-
cation or broadcasting, whereby the thoughts and the very
words of their greatest thinkers might be made known to the
people. The transmitting medium was a professional announcer,
or Stentor, with lungs like bellows and a voice like a fog horn.
It is said that in the Colosseum, where a hundred thousand
Romans gathered to witness gladiators engaged in mortal
combat or to enjoy the thrills of a chariot race, the Stentor
addressed the multitude, speaking the words supplied by
others.
"In light of our present-day magic called electricity, we may
well smile at the idea of the Roman Stentor. Yet we have
retained the basic idea, namely, that a powerful voice be made
available to the man with something worthy to say. We have,
however, improved materially on the Roman Stentor technique
by enabling the very words, the very voice, the very person-
ality, if you please, of the thinking man to be passed on to the
listening multitudes, via the public address system. And going
a step further, we have provided wings, called carrier waves, to
those words and voice and personality, in order that they
might be carried to listeners in their homes, thus making our
forum one of unlimited proportions.
' 'TZ^ VEN prior to the human voice, before the grunts that
-L^ gave birth to our spoken language, there must have
been a sign language. In the endless repetition of history,
therefore, it was but natural that the sign language technique
should reappear in the refined form of the written word. In
the shape of manuscripts, the written word played an impor-
tant role in bringing the views and the wishes of leaders and
thinkers before far-flung people, despite the handicaps of
laborious duplication and limited readers. Further refinement
brought the movable types of Guttenberg as well as the print-
ing press during the late Middle Ages, giving enormous
impetus to the written word and contributing not a little in
the renaissance or rebirth of civilization. Yet if we analyze
this situation critically, we note that the printed word was still
another step removed from the personal appeal of the indi-
vidual addressing the multitude. From the personal voice, the
technique had passed on to the personally written word and
from the personally written word to the impersonal and cold
printed word.
"Refinement followed refinement in printing. There came
larger and faster presses. Wood pulp and the Fournier paper
machine came into existence in providing no end of inex-
pensive paper to carry the printed word. The automatic com-
posing machine or linotype of Mergenthaler came to take the
place of hand type laboriously assembled, printed and dis-
tributed, over and over again, by human fingers. Printed
matter became commonplace, and with it the acquiring of the
reading ability and habit became widespread.
"And so a half-dozen years ago, the press was the logical
method of weaving a community or nation into a homogeneous
body politic. True, it was and it remains an analytical and
synthetic method of conveying intelligence. It is an indirect
method for the thinker to get before his invisible audience. It
is a decided step backward from the old days of the Roman
forum, when the leader faced his audience in person. It is
certainly mass communication by proxy. Yet it has served in
an age when the audience has grown far beyond the power
of the unaided voice to address. Mass communication, up till
six years ago, was hopelessly outdistanced by the growing
magnitude of communities, states and nations.
«' A LL of which serves to provide the proper setting for the
■£*- consideration of this thing called Radio broadcasting.
Here is an art, new in details, but old in principle, which is
little more than a reversion to the spoken word and the direct
appeal of the prehistoric days of the tribal camp fire. Once
more we have the forum of the people, gathered to hear their
leaders. Again we have the spokesman, delivering his own
words by means of his own voice. We are back to the direct
word-of-mouth contact between leader and followers, which
civilization lost during a period of thousands of years while
substituting more elaborate yet really less efficient means.
"Broadcasting, therefore, is not the rival of the printed word.
It is far more elementary in conception than the printed word.
It is a vehicle for spontaneous thought, for the expression of
personality, flung out into space so that all who care to listen
may do so. It reaches the listeners wherever they may be —
near or far, in cities or in rural districts, in homes or in public
gathering places. Radio broadcasting is a marked step for-
ward in the art of mass communication.
"Now the broadcast word is a spontaneous thing. It is born,
it lives, and it dies in the space of a second or less. It is not
preserved for future review, except in the impression it may
make on its listeners. It might be supposed that the broad-
casted word was seriously handicapped by being presented
alone, without sign of the speaker; yet, as a matter of cold
fact, the broadcast word is actually aided by being alone.
Without the presence of the speaker, without the distractions
of a large gathering, without the discomforts attendant upon
being gathered in a theatre or hall or public park, the broadcast
word stands alone, ready to command one-hundred per cent
attention. It can be, and is, more thoroughly .analyzed by
its public than any other form of public utterance. Little
wonder, then that the few remaining politicians of the old days,
with their barn-storming ways, have religiously avoided broad-
casting in their campaigns.
"The printed word, on the other hand, is not spontaneous
thought by the time it reaches the public. It is several steps
removed from the original spontaneous thought. It is printed
at any time and read at any time. It is preserved, rather than
living, thought. Nevertheless, it has the advantage of being
recorded thought, in convenient form, for reading and re-
reading, at the option of the public.
"Hence there can be no conflict between the printed word
and the broadcast word. Both serve individual and distinctive
functions."

IF YOU really have a voice the world will find you no
matter where you are or what you do. Take the case of
Allen McQuhae, the celebrated tenor who sings with the
best of them and better than the rest of them. You never
would have predicted in the youth of Allen McQuhae that the
fates had picked him out for an oratorio artist to be singing
the Messiah and the likes. Sure and blithe enough of a boy
was he when he took to railroading, breaking the freights, wip-
ing the engine, and his ambition set for to be the engineer.
But the voice of him kept chirping and proclaiming him the
great man that he was no matter whether it was mushing in
the Klondike for gold or pinch-hitting for the tenor with the
frazzled epiglottis at McDougal's Vaudeville Emporium.
Now 'twas only at the beginning of the great war that the
world really took hold of Allen and says, says he, "Me
boy, you're an artist and I've found you at last, and begorra
you're mine. Now stop fiddlin' your time away with twaddle
but go over and settle the war, and then come back and settle
down to serious business with that voice that's laggin' behind
the tongue of ye."
So Allen did go over and do a man's share in helping America
win the war, and when he came back he took up with the

Unless It's JVhile Follies Cowboy Broadcasts As "Calvin Coolidge"
»
IMAGINE this: You are in a room with a lot of Radio
apparatus. Telegraph instruments are clicking. Graham
McNamee sits in a chair a few feet from your knees, his
eyes glued to a watch. A microphone hangs in front of
your nose. Now the telegraph instrument is going a monotonous
ding-a-ding-ding, ding-a-ding-ding and
then of a sudden it hesitates and gives
one final bing!
You've been warned! You are on the
air. A string of the most powerful
broadcasting stations strung across the
continent is catching your breath. You
are facing not less than 40,000,000 people
— probably more, for the range goes far
beyond the boundaries.
There you are with eighty or a hun-
dred million ears perked toward YOU.
And you start introducing yourself as
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE.
It's not a dream, it's a fact.
What would YOU do?
And what would YOU do, Will Rog-
ers?
You had better scratch your head and
hoist a quizzical eyebrow.
But, of course, everybody knows you
did do it, William, so there is no use
pretending.
Maurice Wetzel of the National
Broadcasting Company anticipated that
a thousand-dollar-a-minute program was
worth keeping, so he hooked up a dicta-
phone and took down all that was said.
His record, in part, of that momentous
colloquy follows:
Will Rogers
At NBC Microphone, Los Angeles
HELLO, folks. I'm the town crier,
tonight. They could of got a
printed program, but they got me
cheaper. It's the easiest job I ever had,
sittin' here at home by your_ own fire-
side. Oh, I shouldn't a mentioned fire;
we are not supposed to let outsiders
know that we have fires in California.
I am glad to appear at this benefit for
such a worthy cause. I want to thank
the Dodge Brothers and their wonderful
new car for arranging this financial tes-
timonial for Al Jolson, Paul Whiteman
and Fred Stone. This will help the boys
meet their first income tax installment
in good shape.
I've just been down to Mexico on
some outside business for (Calvin?).
He heard that they were shootin' presi-
dential candidates and he sent me down
to get the recipe. So if you hear of any
of our presidential candidates up here
bein' shot, you will know that my mis-
sion to Mexico has been a partial suc-
cess. The only thing, we ain't got
enough ammunition up here.
Mexico's a great country, though, and
this fellow Morrow is doin' a fine work.
Mexico is hooked in on this eavesdrop-
pin' thing here tonight, so I want to say
a few words to 'em in their native tongue
Spanish phrases.)
It's spoilin' my English. I wish I had never learned this
language a-tall.
I wish I could describe to you the scene here tonight in
my home in Beverly Hills. This is Beverly Hills, the home of
all the movie stars. It's wonderful here tonight. Mary and
Doug are right here, Pauline Frederick and Gloria and Irene
Rich and Harold Lloyd and Rin Tin Tin, John Barrymore,
Bull Montana and Dolores del Rio and Ben Turpin, all of 'em
are right here. Say — oh, it's great. All right within fifteen
or twenty blocks of where I am right now. I'd call some of
Will Rogers, Follies Cowboy
(14 seconds of
em to the microphone if I knew their telephone numbers.
But, sure enough, right here in my house, I wish you could
see it. All the kids are sore as boils because their mother
wouldn't let 'em go to the show tonight. Out of respect for
their father she wanted them to stay at home and listen to
father. Jimmie said, "I've heard the
jokes so much I could do 'em myself, for
a third of the money."
By the way, he just come runnin' in
from the room where they've got a
receiving set and he whispered over here
to his mother. He says:
"Mamma, we can't get anything in
there but static."
His mamma said:
"Hush, that ain't static; that's your
father."
Now, folks, we've got a real surprise
for you tonight. Something that we
didn't put on the program because of
the nature of it, we couldn't advertise it.
And because he thinks that automobiles
has contributed to the success and pros-
perity of the country, we have a real
treat in store for you, so get ready for a
real surprise. A real announcer should
announce this, but I have to do it, and
it's nobody but Mr. Coolidge. Mr. Cal-
vin Coolidge from Washington, who
wants to take the opportunity to deliver
a short message to America. All right.
Washington, are you ready? A — ah — all
right, Mr. Coolidge, Mr. Coolidge.
"T .A DIES and gentlemen, it's the duty
J-J of the President to deliver a mes-
sage to the people on the condition of
the country. I am proud to report that
the condition of the country as a whole
is prosperous. I don't mean that the
whole country is prosperous, but as a
whole it's — a prosperous. That is, it's
prosperous for a hole. A hole is not
s'posed to be prosperous and this coun-
try is certainly a whole. There is not a
whole lot of doubt about that. Every-
body that I come in contact with seems
to be doin' well — Hoover, Dawes, Low-
den, Curtis, Al Smith, McAdoo — they're
all doin' well. Of course, not as they'd
like to be doin' by this time next year.
"I sent Dwight Morrow down to
Mexico. A smart boy, Dwight. He's
one of the smartest boys in our class at
Amherst. One of the two smartest
boys, in fact, in our class at Amherst
where we were preparing for college.
Lindbergh is busy in Central America.
We seem to get in wrong faster than
that boy can get us out. I wish he was
twins. I made a statement last fall in
which I said I didn't choose to run. It
seems to have been misunderstood, or
not understood or som'thin', so about
a month ago I clarified it by saying T
still don't choose to run.' If they mis-
understood the first 'choose,' I certainly
can't see how they could misunderstood
this 'un again.
"Farm relief. For farm relief, I give 'em rain and a good
crop. That beats all the McHaugen bills for relief you can
invent. Fill a farmer up. That'll stop him from hollerin'
quicker'n anything.
"Foreign debts. I am sorry to state that they are just as
foreign as ever. In fact, more so.

there at once to try and show them that we are not as bad
as we might've been.

His Family Is Your
Major Edward Bowes Is First
patent-leather hair and pasty faces, we've tried to realize that out of this welter of
ultra-sophistication there is going upon the air a clean, wholesome entertainment of
standard music, old time songs and even an occasional hymn or two, designed to
appeal to listeners at quiet firesides so far removed from the tawdry ideals of the
location from whence it springs as though they were on another planet.
It is a hard thing to grasp. To us there is an unreality about Broadway and its
people that is so utterly foreign to a standard, sane way of living as to be almost fan-
tastic. This street is so hectic, artificial and feverish, particularly at theatre time, that
we seem to think in terms of jazz, and can never get our feet firmly on the ground
until we are back in the semi-obscurity of the side streets of the less-roaring Forties.
And how any man living year after year in this atmosphere can sense the sort
of thing that is going to appeal to those far removed millions, who live and think
like rational human beings is beyond our comprehension. And yet that is just
what Major Bowes seems to be able to do. No matter if the metropolis does
demand more sophisticated entertainment in the theatre (and this winter has seen
an amazing livening up of the programs at the Capitol), the Major has kept his
studio programs strictly to the lines which his intuition originally told him would
go over best with the Radio public.
The first pick-ups from the theatre were, we understand pretty bad, and the
studio hour was put on as an experiment.
Caroline Andrews, a smiling singer of
the Bowes family, affectionately called
"The Lark" by Papa Bowes.
William Robyn, better known to the
Bowes neighbors as "Wee Willie"— tenor
soloist and recording artist.
HE LIVES in a bungalow on top
of a theatre which looks down
on the hardest-boiled street in
the world, has a famous actress
for a wife, his life, his friends, his busi-
ness, all teem of Broadway, and yet his
name is a household word in hundreds
of conservative little communities where
all the interests with which he is asso-
ciated are commonly regarded as works
of the devil.
He is Major Edward Bowes, Manag-
ing Director of the Capitol Theatre,
whose vision made possible the first
broadcast of entertainment direct from
a metropolitan show house to eager
listeners in the hinterland.
When other Broadway managers were
laughing at Radio, at the same time just
a bit apprehensive as to what it was go-
ing to do to their interests, Major
Bowes' acute business sense told him
that the rumored menace of the baby
science might be turned into an asset,
and led him to co-operate with WEAF
in putting the programs from the Cap-
itol upon the air.
And what these programs have developed into furnishes one
of the most curious paradoxes in the amusement world today.
Gazing up Broadway at eight o'clock on a Sunday night to

in the East, and about that time WWJ
first brought it west of Schenectady. As
the network expanded (though it wasn't
called a network then, and do you re-
member back when Frank Moulan
made jingles out of the station calls and
the ballet-girls recited them?) many
thousands of listeners came to look on
this, then a novel feature, as the high
spot in the Radio week.
And then came that hot summer's
night a couple of years ago, when Roxy,
barnstorming out in Detroit, broke the
news to his flock that he was leaving the
Capitol. This announcement caused al-
most as much excitement
among devotedfollowers of the
hour as would the news today
that Col. Lindbergh was go-
ing to give up flying and set-
tle down to raise chickens.
The telephone buzzed with
£*, inquiries. "Who is going to
lik take his place? Will they
% give up broadcasting?"
Wk And when, stepping calmly
/out of his character of the
power behind the throne,
Major Bowes modestly took
|§F his place at the micro-
:Jm phone, no one dreamed that
m a man of such wide inter-
W ests would continue per-
W manently at the work of pre-
senting programs, or that a
brand new personality had
come into Radio. While car-
rying on the informal method
of presentation inaugurated by Roxy,
the Major made no attempt at imitation,
and brought to the work a more digni-
fied delivery, which, together with his
happy appellation, "The Family," his
courteous manner and an evidently sin-
cere desire to please went over big with
the Radio audience.
As one listener expressed it at the time,
he felt as though a very well bred gen-
tleman had walked into his living room
with an offer to entertain the family. _ And if Major Bowes
had entered upon his new profession withsome misgiving, the
letters which immediately began to pour into the Capitol con-
vinced him he had fallen into the most interesting work of his
career.
About this time one of the wise ones along Times Square
made this prophecy to us.
"Aw, he'll soon get tired of it. Catch a movie magnate tying

himself up every Sunday night talking to a bunch of Radio bugs over in Joisey."
He didn't realize that the "radio bugs" extended much farther west than "Joisey,"
the horizon of his Manhattan mind, or that Major Bowes might find something
quite worth while concealed in that great polyglot mass known as the "invisible
audience." He tells you quite frequently what the personal contact means to him,
of the thousands of grateful letters he gets every week, but almost every day
one hears the query, "What does the theatre get out of it?" What, indeed?
THE last time we were at the Capitol we were struck by the very un-New Yorkish
appearance of the audience, and it wasn't until we heard a woman whisper,
"There's 'Our David,' " as Mr. Mendoza entered and took up his baton, that we
realized it was made up in great part of Radio listeners from out of town.
Of course this was during the summer tourist season. As a direct result of the
broadcasting, thousands of people living in remote regions, to whom a trip to New
York is the event of a lifetime, now put the Capitol down on their lists as a place to
be visited along with those time honored attractions for the tourist, Grant's Tomb,
the Aquarium and the Statue of Liberty. It is the only New York theatre many
of them have ever heard of, and it is perfectly natural they should wish to see
the people whose voices they have heard so many times at home.
Should you be one of those almost unbelievably trusting listeners (and there are
many), who accept all great Radio programs as bread cast upon the waters by kind-
hearted souls who expect no reward
on this earth beyond thank-you
letters, we hate to disillusion you.
It is the greatest publicity since
the beginning of time, and the
shrewd minds back of our amuse-
ment interests know
it. The remarkable
'■hing about Major
Bowes is that HE
recognized it five
years ago. Roxy
knew so much about
it from his expe-
rience at the Capitol
that he had a broad-
casting unit before
he had a theatre, and
report says he moved
heaven and earth in
an effort to get the
Capitol time on the
Sunday night hook-
up, but WEAF re-
mained loyal to the
man who had co-op-
erated with them at
the beginning.
The "pepping up"
of the theatre pro-
grams this winter,
many of which are
broadcast in their
entirety, has brought
a. new element into
the Radio audience.
Some who were
looking for livelier
entertainment than
had heretofore been
coming over on the
Sunday night broad-
cast are now eagerly
watching for the all-
star bills from the
auditorium.
Up until last win-
ter the Capitol had
things pretty much
their own way. They
were the largest movie house in New York, and no other
theatre attempted the elaborate ballets, stage presentations and
opera bits as adjuncts to the pictures. But with the opening
of the new Paramount (which sprawls all over Times Square
and is so big you couldn't miss it if you tried) and Roxy's huge
cathedral" things were different.
Features became as common as actors out of work around
Forty-seventh street. Roxy, of course led in the extravagance of

ophone soloist, and Sylvia

his productions, and
presently we found
the Capitol in the
competition with
even higher -priced
stars than the Roxy
was featuring. The
Capitol already had
a theatre orchestra
that was conceded
by critics to be the
best in the country,
but Roxy also had a
famous jazz band.
So the Capitolians—
an aggregation of
artists of syncopa-
tion was organized,
and drilled, we be-
lieve, originally by
Paul Specht.
This performs
weekly with guest
conductors — such
virtuosos as Vincent Lopez and Ben Bernie being among
those who have wielded the baton for a week and goodness
knows how much money. Then there is a revue, featuring
some well known act from vaudeville or musical comedy, and
the Radio audience hears them all, with a few exceptions, such
as Van and Schenk, who could not be broadcast, as they have
exclusive Radio contracts.
There has never been entertainment of such variety pre-

RADIO DIGES T — Illustrated
sented upon one program in a New York theater as these now
shown weekly at the so-called movie palaces, and the managers
of the legitimate and vaudeville houses are sitting back, won-
dering just where it is going to end.
Apropos of the situation they are telling a story along
Broadway of the vaudeville actor who had striven for years
to get a week's booking at that goal of the two-a-day, the
Palace. He finally achieved his ambition this winter, and
when he found himself at last on the bill of the greatest vaude-
ville house in the country — lo, all the stars were at the Capitol!
With all this tremendous expense Major Bowes is keeping
his great stock troupe of artists intact, and if — as one listener
said the other night— his voice doesn't sound as cheerful as
usual, one's private opinion is that he had just had a look at
the pay-roll. These favorites of the Radio audience, many of
whom have been at the Capitol for years, include William
Robyn, who started out as a phenomenal boy tenor, and has
developed until today he is the theaters' most popular soloist
and makes records for all the leading phonograph companies;
David Mendoza, conductor, who is extremely popular with
New York audiences, and his capable assistant, Eugene Or-
mandy; Dr. William Axt, who is responsible for the fine orches-
tral arrangements; Yasha Bunchuk, whose 'cello is as much an
expected part of the
Radio program as
the Major's poem;
Max Hersberg, pi-
anist, and the ver-
satile Westell Gor-
don, who com-
poses, sings, and
plays the 'cello.
Preserving har-
mony in such a
group of tempera-
men tal geniuses
through the years
would seem to re-
quire as much di-
plomacy on the part
of the managing
director as he has
shown in his han-
dling of the Radio
audience, and the
fact that he has
ever been alert to
recognize ability
and give it its
opportunity has
endeared Major
Bowes no less to
his performers than
to his listeners. A
striking example of
this occurred re-
cently when he fea-
tured on the studio
program, twelve-
year-old Eddie Axt,
a youthful prodigy
on the saxophone,
and the son of Dr.
Billy. Accompanied
by his talented
father the young
musician made a
surprisingly credit-
able debut, and
Major Bowes
seemed as much
gratified by his suc-
cess as the father.
The directing
genius of this great
array of Radio and
stage entertainment
has long been an
outstanding figure
in the amusement world. Identified with moving picture inter-
ests for years, together with Messmore Kendall, he built the
Capitol theater in 1918, and has served in a number of execu-
tive capacities with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation in
which he is interested. He numbers among his personal friends
all the more prominent in the world of the stage, pictures and
music. He is married to beautiful Margaret Illington, long a
favorite of the legitimate stage. In appearance he is the typical
successful New Yorker, always meticulously groomed, and as
to his personality, it is superfluous to comment upon that to the
Radio audience, for if any man has succeeded in "putting him-
self across" with the listening public, it is Major Edward Bowes,
paterfamilias of a very happy tribe.
A moment's pause between numbers to permit you to meet face to face Miss Mathilde
Harding and Arcadie Birkenholz, who present those especially interesting Sunday evening
sonatas over the Red net. Yes, Miss Harding, the ring is obvious.
Radio Finds Gold Pirates Missed
JUST now the world seems on the verge of many new rev-
elations of a scientific nature. Practical television, still in
an experimental stage, is promised to the public in a short
time. From there it will be but a step to stage productions in
the home. All the startling electrical wizardry shown in the
Radio shows will soon be a part of our every day lives.
Not the least strange of the new inventions is the applica-
tion of Radio to mineral prospecting — especially gold. Many
letters were received by Radio Digest from all quarters fol-
lowing publication of the announcement by President Max
Mason, University of Chicago, that prospecting by Radio had
been proven entirely practical.
A letter from Lieutenant George Williams of Ancon, C. Z.,
Panama, tells of his own experience with a Radio prospector
of his own invention with which he has unearthed part of the
buried treasure hidden from the pirate Morgan, centuries ago,
when he ravished the Panama coast.
"We have a four-year concession under the supervision of a
government inspector," writes Lieut. Williams, "and so far
our machine has never lied. Where it has indicated gold to be
found, digging disclosed the gold. Thousands of dollars' worth
of ancient treasures
buried by priests in
subterranean cav-
erns have thus been
recovered.
"The machine
consists of a gener-
ator, transmitter, re-
ceiver, amplifier and
two aerials. The
aerials consist of
many thousands of
feet of wire wound
on a hoop. The gen-
erator supplies the
power to the trans-
mitter and into the
first aerial causing
the lines of force to
form a circle from
one aerial to the
other, cutting
through the earth.
The current is di-
rected through a re-
ceiver and amplify-
ing valve. Different
sounds are given off
according to the de-
posit under the
ground which are
observed through
the headphones. In
the case of gold
which is a very bad
conductor a very
high pitched note is
heard. In the case
of lead a very dull
sound is heard. Gold
is the highest pitch
heard while lead is
the harshest."
The Panama
newspaper report-
ing the explorations
made by Lieut. Wil-
liams with his pros-
pector says:
"Exquisite golden
ornaments and en-
graved precious
stones were first
brought to light in
old Panama by
Lieut. Williams,
Thursday evening
at 5 o'clock. Treasure continued to be brought up from what
is believed to be a subterranean tunnel at the corner of St.
Joseph convent to the fourth block of the Empedrada street.
It is the old church of the Golden Altar and the flames of
Morgan did not touch it.
"The work of bringing up the treasure continued until dark
when Adriano Robles, the President's general secretary, or-
dered his private police to remain on the scene throughout
the night. The treasure was taken to the President and for two
hours he looked it over and shook hands and congratulated
Lieut. Williams on his first find. The President retained a
piece of the treasure — a large butterfly shaped pendant inlaid

©amrosch Achieves Ambition
RATHER AND SON Struggle Against Many Adversities to
Win National Leadership — Told in Autobiography
AT last we have the long heralded school of the air!
It has been a tremendous task organizing and perfect-
ing the mechanical details to carry out the ambition of
Walter Damrosch to broadcast musical instruction to
classes that would number millions.
That is one of the great things for Radio to do, to give to the
millions advantages that hitherto have been accorded only to
a privileged few.
Of course there is a great host of people who have no toler-
ance for Damrosch
nor the type of cul- ^
ture he represents.
They are totally
unreconciled to mu-
sic that has been
hand picked by ex-
perts from the ruck
of stuff that swells
our annual produc-
tion. They prefer
the popular air that
holds the pinnacle
for the day.
But in the long
run Damrosch and
the classics will
stand, of course,
and it is for the far-
seeing broadcaster
to supply a demand
that has a firm
foundation. The
schools are taking
it up throughout
the country by in-
stalling suitable re-
ceivers and ampli-
fiers.
In New York
City alone nearly
200 public schools
are taking advan-
tage of the course.
Mail from across
the continent indi-
cates that nearly
one thousand public
and private schools
are presenting the
course with auxil-
iary and personal
instruction. Besides
the schools and the
studios of the small
individual music
teachers there are
thousands of
homes where stu-
dents and profes-
sionals have set
aside the hour for
these broadcasts as
part of the indi-
vidual study curriculum
11/ ALTER DAMROSCH stands before the microphone to teach his class Musical Appre-
" • ciation. His class room extends across the nation. He demonstrates his theories with the
aid of the New York Symphony Orchestra. He is on the threshold of his life-long ambition.
ONE may imagine the glow of satisfaction in the heart of
the grand old maestro, Walter Damrosch, as he stands at
the head of the New York Symphony lecturing and demon-
strating to a class that stretches across the continent. Lessons
in Musical Appreciation is the theoretical text book. The
orchestra is the demonstration blackboard and ears are all that
the student needs to reap the benefits of the instruction.
Walter Damrosch is indeed a national figure now. Perhaps
a little personal history would be of interest to the listener and
reader. He has written an autobiography called My Musical
'Life. He introduces himself as follows:
^ "I am an American musician and have lived in this country
since my ninth year. I was born in Breslau, Silesia, January
30, 1862, and my first memories are connected with the war,
the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. I was four years old and
remember being with my mother in a room in our apartment
in Breslau, which was filled with flowers and growing plants
(mother ahva3'S had a marvelous gift for maintaining and nurs-
ing plants) and various friends coming in to condole with her
over the death of my baby brother, Hans, who had died of
cholera, which was then raging in Breslau. The second child
of my parents had been christened Richard, after Richard
Wagner, who had officiated as godfather at the ceremony. This
child lived but a short time, and Wagner had vowed that he
never again would stand as godfather for the children of any
of his friends, as
the ill luck which
had pursued him
all of his life was
thus carried even
into their families."
He then relates
his experiences i n
seeing the soldiers
march to war and
hearing the can-
nons boom and
how his mother
threw a wreath
"which fell on the
neck of the horse
carrying King Wil-
liam and he, look-
ing up, saluted
her."
MUSICAL con-
ditions when
his father first
came to Breslau in
1858 were miser-
able enough but
shortly thereafter
the Breslau Or-
chester Verein was
organized and "a
regular symphonic
orchestra was es-
tablished with a
series of subscrip-
tion concerts.
"All the great
artists of the day
came to Breslau to
take part in these
concerts, and gen-
erally they stayed
at our house, al-
though our quar-
ters -were very sim-
ple — Liszt, Wag-
ner, von Bulow,
Clara Schumann,
Tausig, Joachim,
A u e r , Haenselt,
Rubinstein. Some
of them I can re-
member vaguely,
but of course many
stories and anecdotes were current in the family concerning
their visits."
Many amusing incidents are told of the visits of the great
men of that day and his boyhood experiences. That the senior,
Dr. Leopold Damrosch was a strict disciplinarian he recalls
thus:
"I think I was somewhat afraid of my father in those days.
He was rather stern and taciturn. Life was hard and the
struggle for existence difficult. He was somewhat severe about
my studies and as those were the days when whipping children
for naughtiness was considered an essential of their education
I received my share of such punishment. In fact, sometimes
I was whipped in school and then I had to take my school
report home to my father and he would perhaps repeat the
dose. But with all that I was very proud of him and used to
enjoy trotting by his side along the promenade on the banks
of the Oder, because so many people would take off their hats
to him deferentially as he passed.

of his time in reading to us books
that would stimulate our imaginations
and cultivate our instincts for the beau-
tiful— Grimm's and Andersen's Fairy
Tales and Arabian Nights, and some of
the parables from the New Testament."
Living conditions in Breslau became
more and more precarious until one day
a letter came offering the elder Dam-
rosch the leadership of an orchestra in
New York. He accepted the offer and
found America the real land of oppor-
tunity. He furnished a home and sent
for his family and Walter Damrosch
began his career as an American citizen
by starting all over again in public
school until he had mastered the lan-
guage. His first appearance in an or-
chestra at the age of 14 was recorded as
a failure as he had been directed to sound
the cymbals at a certain place. When
the time came to perform he was too
frightened to move.
A period of rivalry soon grew up be-
tween Theodore Thomas and Dr. Dam-
rosch for leadership. And it was not
until 1879 that success dawned suddenly
on the Damrosch horizon. The author
states:
"But all this was changed like a flash
when my father decided to perform The
Damnation of Faust by Berlioz, until
then unknown in America. This con-
cert, which was held at Steinway Hall,
in East Fourteenth street, necessitated
the services of solo singers, the New
York Symphony orchestra, the chorus
of the New York Oratorio society and
the male chorus of the Arion society.
"The work and the performance made
a sensation. All New York buzzed with
it, and during that winter, 1879, it was
given five times in succession to crowded
houses, creating an excitement such as
New York never before had seen in the
concert field.
"I played in all these performances at
the last stand of the second violins, as
my father considered it of the utmost
value to me as a future conductor to be
able to follow the conductor's beat as
one of the orchestra."
THERE'S a new spirit of progress in
WHT, Chicago, which faithful Pat Barnes
has guided steadfastly and true through the
storms and vicissitudes common to many
broadcasting stations of late. WHT is get-
ting better hours and more to do with. Pat,
at the left, is almost smiling and Al Carney
on the other side has even a broader grin
than usual. In the center are the new WHT
Dunnaway Sisters and Miss Doris Wittich,
staff pianist and program director.
Upon the death of his father, Walter
Damrosch continued with the work well
started. Gifted with boundless energy
and a desire for work, he assumed his
new responsibilities without noticeable
slack.
In 1887 he sailed for Europe to spend
the summer in study with Hans von
Bulow, an old intimate of the elder
Damrosch.
"And on tha steamer," writes Mr.
Damrosch, "I met Andrew Carnegie and
his young wife, Louise. They were on
their wedding trip and on their way to
Scotland, where Mr. Carnegie had
rented Kilgraston, a lovely old place
near Perth. . . . He invited me to
come for a visit to Scotland after my
studies with Von Bulow were over.
"In the late summer I accordingly
sailed in a small steamer from Hamburg
to Leith and was received with great
friendliness by Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie
at Kilgraston. Among their guests
were James G. Blaine, his wife, and two
of their daughters. My acquaintance
with this remarkable family soon ripened
very fortunately for me into close friend-
ship and resulted finally in my marriage
o Margaret, one of the daughters — but I
am progressing too fast."
From this romance Mr. Damrosch
deviates to tell of his love for Scotch
music and his long walks and talks with
Mr. Carnegie.
During the World War he eagerly
sought some way by which he could
aid the cause of America and the Allies.
He was finally assigned to the Y. M. C.
A. to conduct an orchestra of fifty
pieces in a tour of the army camps in
France.
WHEN Walter Damrosch wrote his
autobiography he had not yet be-
come identified with Radio broadcasting.
He had not realized the possibilities that
were to come to him when he said:
"I have climbed a few hills, but only
to see the mountains beyond rising
higher and higher, the path upward often
indiscernible through the mists sur-
rounding the peaks.
"I love the people among whom my
father settled because he firmly believed
that in America his children would find
a greater opportunity for development
than in Europe.
"The musical field in America is cer-
tainly wonderful in its possibilities, and
all my life I have reached out with both
hands and have worked incessantly and
enthusiastically in my calling. In part,
at least, I have tried to repay what I
owe to my compatriots for their confi-
dence and help. But the power of the
individual is comparatively small, and,
while our musicians have already ac-
complished miracles within the short
period that inusic has played a part in
our civilization, so much remains yet to
be done that I long for at least one
hundred more years of life, partly to
continue my work but still more to sat-
isfy my eager curiosity as to the musical
future of our people."
And now with his great national
school for musical appreciation perhaps
Mr. Damrosch will realize more than
he could have at that time imagined
could be accomplished during the next
hundred years with the facilities he then
had at his command.

Russia's Good Will Conquest
<L^4MERICA Shudders at Bolshevism
' But Slavic Radio Artists JVin All Hearts
By Harold P. Brown
IS RUSSIA going to conquer us by Radio?
Will America go Bolshevik lured by siren voices and intriguing
rhythm of the dance and orchestra?
We can't deny but we are interested. We gather the family
about the parlor Radio receiver and smile comfortably while we listen
to Leo Ornstein and his piano, or the Russian Cathedral choir, or Maria
Kurenko and her seductive coloratura voice.
They come to us in our homes direct from Russia. We sit entranced
and perhaps wonder a little. Russia — the land of mystery; the country
with a past, and a future that is the enigma of all historians.
We read today that they take the dolls away from little girls because :/-
they want to destroy the spirit that makes little girls want to play with :'?'
dolls. What a crazy idea! But we rave over the Russian comedy
Chauve Souris, though we understand not a word of it. And we choose
for our very own their Parade of the Wooden Soldiers.
"But the revolution still goes
on, and will go on until a prac-
tical government has crystalized
into a nation," said Eliah Laveter,
ex-political prisoner with Leon
Trotsky in a Petrograd jail,
then a fugitive, and now the
Chicago printer whose hands set
these lines of type.
Great, stumbling, blundering
Russia with eyes in the sky and
heels in the mud! What con-
trasts! What surprises
uncertainties hold us breathless
for what is to come next. Who
will write into song the opera of

of intolerance between the high
and the low? Did ever a master

characters than Lenine who de-

saved from death by the weird monk;
the nobles who conspired to kill the

fighting front by this uncouth interloper;
the distracted monarch torn between
dictates of spouse and the more practical
counsel of his advisers, and the ghastly
climax in the basement prison in Eka-
terinburg?
Here is color aplenty for pageantry
and every emotional whim, the verity
that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
WHO are some of these Radio legions
who now sweep all before them
with their exotic graces and charms?
We have spoken of Maria Kurenko. She is a native of
Tomsk, Siberia. While she was still a wide-eyed and wonder-
ing little girl of 12 she was taken to Moscow to begin the
shaping of her musical career. It was very quickly discovered
that she had more than an ordinary voice. And after the early
preliminary training she came under the special care of
Mazetti at the Moscow conservatory.
But art sometimes goes hungry — even in Russia where at
that time it was more highly appreciated than now. So the
little lass from Siberia decided she would take a course in law.
She pursued both lines of study and graduated from the two
schools at practically the same time.
• She placed her law diploma in the moth balls for the time
being and made her debut as a professional singer with the
Kharkoff opera company. From there it was but a step to
the Grand Opera House at Moscow, and she was an acknowl-
edged star of the first rank. Her first operatic appearance in
the United States took place in Los Angeles. She has appeared
in concerts through the principal cities. Since her premiere
as one of the NBC stars on the national hook-ups she has come
into very wide favor in the United States.
One of the greatest Russian features of the current season has
been the Russian Cathedral choir of the Roxy gang. This
organization was developed from the old Russian cathedral in
East Ninety-seventh street, New York City, which was known
as one of the best.
When the choir disbanded, its conductor, Nicholas Vasilieff,
organized the Cathedral Quartet, and later almost all of the
tenors and basses from the old Cathedral choir joined the new
organization.
One of the most notable facts about this organization is the
deepness of the notes of the bass singers. Russians, it has
been pointed out, have the deepest bass voices in the world,
and two of the best double basses are said to be members of
the Cathedral Choir.
The conductor himself was born in Petrograd of a musical
family. His father and seven brothers, like himself, were all

whose Stradivarius is familiar to listeners of
the Atwater Kent hour.
tenors. Nicholas Vasilieff began his
musical career as a boy soloist in a
Petrograd Cathedral, and was brought
to this country to sing in the Russian
Cathedral in East Ninety-seventh street.
GHAUVE-SOURIS netted $93,000 in
three weeks in San Francisco, ac-
cording to a recent letter from Balieff
to Ashton Stevens, dramatic critic of the
Chicago Herald and Examiner.
"I wish you could read all of Mr.
Balieff's 2,000 word letter," writes Mr.
Stevens, "but much of it is intimate as
only a Russian can be intimate, and
some of it is sad as only a Russian can
be. And perhaps Hollywood is a para-
dise to Balieff because he has found the
studios so Russianized."
A part of the Balieff letter is quoted as follows:
"It seems as if America were being bloodlessly conquered by
Russia. Here we are in the coronation hall of the Mihailovsky
Palace, where the Czar, Paul I, was strangled. Historically
Paul was different to the character portrayed by Jannings —
he was small of stature — but how could the great Jannings
be anything small?
We made our way through this coronation hall as if in a
dream. Couples in the costumes of the period of Paul I
were dancing a slow, mincing step. Through the small win-
dows of the palace we could catch a glimpse of St. Petersburg
of old, the St. Petersburg before the revolution. Walking from
set to set in the studio where "The Patriot" is being filmed, we
were given an unforgettable pictorial lesson of what we had
been taught in childhood. Though the stage version of "The
Patriot" did not meet with success. I am sure that the screen
version, as directed by Lubitsch, will be one of the outstanding
pictures of the year."
Balieff went to United Artist studios to inspect the making
of "Tempest," a play of the Russian Bolshevik revolution.
There he saw with ironic eyes —

RADIO audiences are familiar with some of the noted artists
who have suffered even as Balieff has said. Consider Rosa
Raisa, prima donna of the Chicago Civic opera and Alex-
ander Sklarevski, formerly of the Imperial Conservatory at
Petrograd, now of the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Balti-
more, and frequent guest artist of WBAL.

During the great cataclasm of the first revolutionary on-
slaught Sklarevski became separated from his wife and chil-
dren. He was a professor in the Sarator conservatory at the
time. One day he found himself groping about in almost
hopeless confusion. There was not a trace of his family to
be found. For six years he followed one fruitless clue after
another until at last he located them in Greece destitute and
starving. They were happily reunited and came to America,
where Sklarevski quickly gained recognition through a con-
cert tour and eventually affiliated himself with the Baltimore
conservatory.
Through the Thursday night broadcasts of the Chicago Civic
opera thousands of Radio audiences became better acquainted
with the rare voice of Rosa Raisa. She had been heard on
occasion as the special guest artist of WGN, the Chicago
Tribune. The opera revealed her real perfection as the prima
donna. The Trib-
une, in telling of
her courageous
career and persist-
ence, says:
"Rosa Raisa
brings to the Radio
audience one of the
superbly artistic
bits of salvage
saved from the
Russian maelstrom
— a glorious, dra-
matic soprano
voice. Born of
wealthy Jewish
parents in Baily-
stock, Poland, in
1893, Rosa Raisa
passed through the
tortures of Jewish
persecution as her
father's fortune be-
came depleted, and
finally escaped,
after bitter hard-
ships, to Naples,
where she arrived
as a young girl
with nothing but a
loaf of stale bread,
a bundle of ragged
clothing — and a
voice.
"Today she is
one of the foremost
sopranos of the
concert and opera
stage and occupies
a distinctive posi-
tion in the field of
modern ingenue
singers because of
her type — that of a
soprano of the old
"grand style," like
Nordica and Patti.
But two decades of
work and struggle
lie behind her.
"In Naples she
abandoned the
study of dentistry,
which she had
started with a
cousin in Poland as
her father's for-
tune waned, and
foughther way to
recognition as a
singer under
Madame Marchisio.
After singing in
Milan, Rome, and
other Italian cities, she appeared at Covent Garden, London,
and was instantly successful. Her voice attracted the atten-
tion of the great Campanini and it was he who first brought
her to the United States."
SO we find them in the theater, on the screen and on the
concert stage. They are the special entertainers in the
cafes and the night clubs. They haunt the greatest of the
Radio broadcast studios. Here is a typical announcement sent
to the press of the country from one of the New York studios,
which has featured many Muscovite artists:
"Leo Ornstein, Russian pianist, will be the guest artist in

evening, February 2, at 8:30 o'clock, Eastern Standard Time
(7:30 o'clock, Central Standard Time).
"Ornstein was born in 1896 near Odessa, Russia. At an
early age he gave evidence of unusual musical gifts. Talent
in composition went hand-in-hand with his pianistic ability,
and he soon made a name for himself in Russia, France,
England and Norway.
"He gained his first fame as an exponent of the excessively
modern in music. His compositions defined every convention,
and he made free use of dissonance to obtain his effects.
Today he is acclaimed by many critics as a virtuoso of deli-
cate color sense and mastery of tonal character.
"Leschetizky's 'Barcarola' is the selection which Ornstein
will play in this Ampico Hour of Music. This composition,
a boat song, is of sombre character and suggests the famous
'Song of the Volga Boatmen' in the strange chant-like song
which is accompa-
nied by the rippling
water.
Frederick R. Hu-
ber, director of the
Baltimore station,
WBAL, announced
a special program
of the famous com-
poser, Tschaikow-
ski in the following
words:
"The tense, emo-
tional music of the
Russian people will
be heard over
WBAL when the
WBAL Concert

sent a program
composed of the
compositions of
Peter I. Tschai-
kowski, one of the

posers. Radio au-

but lovers of music
of this type will de-
light in the an-
nouncement that an
entire program,
rather than mere
snatches of this
popular musical
writer's works, will
be presented.
"T s c h a iko wski's
career is one of the
most interesting of
all the great com-
posers. Not dis-
playing any marked
degree of musical
talent up until he
was in his twen-
ties, Tschaikowski
studied law and
held a judicial po-
sition for several
years. However,
his great love for
H music began to def-
initely assert itself
and a few years
afterward he left
the courts for the
conservatory, soon
becoming known as one of Russia's foremost composers.

rP HUS we have a bit of the cross section showing how the
-I- better side of the Russian national is reaching out and gain-
ing the good will of America. The forces in power there were
quick to recognize the ingratiating influence of Radio broad-
casting. The Soviets now control more broadcasting stations
than any other country in the world outside of America. They
have among their super-power stations forty-five varying from
20,000 to 40,000 watts and wave lengths from 150 to 1,117
meters. Most of the stations are owned by the government,
labor unions or local Soviets.
Today Trotsky, the genius who wanted to rule or ruin the
whole world, is banished from the scene of activities, and
there seems a tendency to swing the government into estab-
lished and proven lines. But tomorrow Trotsky may return,
and then what? Our printer friend declares the revolution i»
still in progress. He has been through the thick of it himself,
and to him Russia is a colossal tragedy, full of uncertainties.
The spectacle still is in progress.
Thunders of war roll into the distance for the rest of the
world but blood-blanched Russia shivers in terror through
revolution and counter-revolution. The comic wobblies of
America have become slaughtering monsters over there. Mass
executions and nameless horrors come out of the night. Red
hatred grips the slipping flag of state and rushes forward to
set the world aflame again.
But we, too, have suffered and there is no foothold here.
So Father America gathers with his family about the parlor

THOSE who know their Radio A B Cs are well acquainted
with the lovely voice of L C T D (Elsie Thiede), the

Like so many other great singers, Miss Thiede began her
musical career as a pianist of unusual ability. A graduate of

regarded as a child prodigy and received a gold medal for
her pianistic accomplishments.
But sweet sixteen saw Elsie Thiede the pianist fade from

BEHOLD the lovely De-
vora Nadworney!
Few artists among women
have done more for Radio
than Miss Nadworney. She
is the premiere of the great
chain artists, and was the
first person to broadcast over
a national hook-up — that his-
toric Radio date of January
4, 1923. She has since been
affiliated with the WJZ blue
net of the National Broad-
casting company.
She was born in New York
City of Russian antecedents.
Her singing career began as
a church soloist. She won
first prize in a national con-
test conducted by the Na-
tional Federation of Musi-
cians' clubs and gained her
first wide recognition. Later
she was a member of the Chi-
cago Civic opera, guest artist
of the Washington opera and
member of the San Carlos
grand opera company.

High Power Reserves At WJZ
(CALAMITIES MAY HIT Featured Artists
But — Sylvania Foresters Are Prepared to Fill All Gaps
IF, perchance, some bleak and blizzardy night all the busses
and taxicabs should suddenly stop running on Fifth ave-
nue, and a combination of circumstances make it impos-
sible for the featured artists of the great Blue Network
of the NBC to arrive at the studio for their evening stunt at
entertaining, there would scarcely be much consternation
around headquarters. This absurd notion popped into our
mind while we were an interested spectator of the multitudi-
nous activities of the
chains in the elabo-
rate new building on
the Avenue at Fifty-
fifth street. Could
such a contingency
arise we felt the out-
come would be some-
thing like the follow-
ing:
Instead of gather-
ing around the mi-
crophone and sing-
ing "There'll Be No
Show To-Nite," we
could fancy Mr. Keith
McLeod picking out
a, nice cozy studio,
dusting off the vibra-
phone and piano, and
calling to Mr. Lud-
low- to bring his fa-
mous fiddle. Then
after Mr. Cross and
Mr. Sherris had run
a few scales to lim-
ber up their voices,
they would be all set
and ready to go with
almost any type of
entertainment that
had been scheduled
for that evening. For
while we have come
to expect musical
versatility from many
of our announcers
and studio directors,
the talent and ability
represented in the
staff of WJZ, the key
station of the Blue
Network, has long
been a matter of com-
ment. Nothing has
ever been allowed to
go to waste around
this studio, and
everyone connected
with the organization
has always seemed
ready and willing to
take his place at the
microphone.
As far back as we
can remember WJZ,
the Sunday night re-
citals of Godfrey
Ludlow, violinist,
with Keith McLeod
at the piano, stand
out as highly enjoy
recalls the famous character in one of Hutchinson's novels,
who was forever declaiming, I'm a gardener, I am, not a
bloomin' coachman" — or plumber, or whatever capacity he had
been asked to fill, and thinks what a total loss one with his
attitude of mind would be around a Radio station.
Likewise there is Milton J. Cross, whose pleasing tenor has
become as familiar to listeners as the deep rounding tones of
his announcing voice. He is always being sent hither and yon
for special broad-
casts— he is the sen-
ior announcer of the
Blue Network, you
know — and is con-
stantly in demand
for work where
sound musical train-
ing is an essential in
presenting an im-
portant program.
And Marley Sherris,
who runs a close sec-
ond to Mr. Cross in
studio duties, has a
resounding bass bari-
tone to which one
could listen through-
out an entire eve-
ning's recital without
the slightest effort.
O f 1 1 i m e s , while
watching these men
painstakingly pre-
senting some com-
mercial hour, which
neither through its
novelty nor musical
value seemed likely
to burn up the wires
over which it was
going, we've been
moved to ask them
why on earth they
didn't build up an
act of their own and
sell it to some adver-
tiser, and then the
kind Fate w h i c h

our foolish impulses
has stepped in and
told us to mind our
own business.

esters took the sir.

able events, and our only fear has been that with the advance-
ment that comes with the years — you know, Mr. McLeod is
now musical superyisor of the whole NBC, and Mr. Ludlow a
featured concert artist — they might have less time for broad-
casting. And one observing the musical supervisor at the
manifold duties he has accumulated since the expansion of the
great chains might reasonably wonder that he has the energy
or ambition to turn himself into a broadcast artist on occasion,
when so much of his time is given to directing others. When
pondering upon the apparently inexhaustible powers of some
of these more prominent people around our great studios, one
have made the
surprising dis-
covery this winter
that in spite of all that has been printed about commercial
broadcasting and the importance of its features, about nine-
tenths of the Radio audience hasn't the slightest conception of
how it gets its carefully prepared programs, or what an outlay
of thought, energy and money these publicity stunts represent.
Success of the expenditure depends on the attention gained.
You will find the average listener assumes that when a manu-
facturer of Radio sets or automobiles or baking powder wants
a little publicity for his product, he collects a few musicians out
of work, herds them before a microphone and tells them to
entertain. Heaven help our Radio programs if this were the pro-
21
RADIO DIGES T — Illustrated
cedure. We usually start out to set the
erring one right by quoting a few figures
on the cost of the various hook-ups.
Most people are impressed by money.
And in case you haven't the current rates
of the NBC pasted in your hat you may
be interested in knowing just what the
advertiser is paying for the privilege of
entertaining you.
If he wishes to use the nine stations
constituting the main artery of the Blue
Network, the charge for broadcasting
his program is $2,800.00 per hour. The
fifteen stations of the Red Network are
^old for the trifling sum of $3,770.00 per
hour. Supplementary stations, the Mid-
West, South and Pacific groups are all
additional. We don't happen to have
the rate sheet of the new Columbia
Chain on hand, but we know they are
not giving anything away either. Now,
it is rather obvious that when it is cost-
ing a man a sum like this to hire a hall,
he isn't likely to have his program put
on by the Firemen's Band or the High
School Quartette. He wants artists of
ability to whom the Radio public will
listen, and besides, the NBC has some-
thing to say about what it will use.
All commercial features, or acts, as
we might as well call them, are origi-
nated, directed, cast and rehearsed by
the capable heads of the program de-
partments of the National Broadcasting
Company. Often a clever play on the
name of the product to be advertised,
such as the Sylvania Foresters, spon-
sored by the Sylvania Products com-
pany, gives the feature its name; some-
times a complete scenario is composed,
and when the act has been shaped and
rehearsed it is presented to the sponsor
for his approval. After that all he has
to do is to pay the artists' salaries.
From the reported sums received
by a number of musical comedy and
vaudeville stars for their appear-
ance before the microphone this
winter, they seem to be laboring
under the delusion that they are ap-
pearing in the movies, and you will
find by a canvass of listeners, that,
aside from the appeal of a famous
name, with a very few exceptions —
we would nominate Will Rogers,
Marie Cahill and Joe Cook — the
Radio audience gets more enjoy-
ment out of the microphone-trained
entertainers on the regular staffs of
the big studios.
A morning spent in the producing
department of the NBC is a most
illuminating experience. One meets
program directors, assistant pro-
gram directors, musical supervisors,
and the like in bewildering array,
sees doors labeled Artists' Bureau,
hears talk of auditions, orchestra-
tions and arrangements, an opera
troupe is rehearsing in this studio,
an orchestral unit is being moni-
tored in another.
So much for the commercial fea-
ture in general. Now for the Syl-
vania Foresters — one of the newest,
and by reason of the Radio au-
dience's familiarity with its person-
nel, one of the most popular. This
combination was worked out,
arranged and cast by Keith McLeod
personally. It consists of a male
quartette, with violin and vibra-
phone soloists. Mr. McLeod plays
the vibraphone himself. Godfrey
Ludlow, with his famous De Rouge-
mont Stradivarius, is the violinist,
and the quartette is composed of
Milton J. Cross, first tenor; Marley
Sherris, bass; Walter Preston, bari-
tone, and Maurice Tyler, second
tenor.
ON THIS page are three young
men better known by their
voices than by their faces. They
are three of the "stand-bys" of the
National Broadcasting company
and sometimes have a voice in the
Foresters' programs.
At the upper left is Norman
Sweetser, who studied architecture
at the niversity of Pennsylvania to
become_ a broadcaster by the route
of singing and acting. During the
war he was a first lieutenant,
U. S. A., and in the air service.
After the war he appeared in the
original Blossom Time company,
Ginger, Beggar on Horseback,
Annie Dear, Louie the Fourteenth,
and Mayflower. He is with WJZ.

Marley R. Sherris 5 ft. 8; 165 lbs; brown hair,
fair skin, no appetite. Couldn't say, ma'am.
Curt Peterson is the gentleman
in lower center. He was born in
Albert Lea, Minn., February 12,
1898. He graduated from Univer-
sity of Oregon with a B. S. and
from the army after the World
War with rank of lieutenant of in-
fantry. He taught voice in an acad-
emy. He is married, has two chil-
dren— Stephanie, six, and Janeth,
three. Both children are singers in
the NBC children's hour. Madge
Tucker says both tots sing baritone
like their father.
As for the dignified looking Mar-
ley R. Sherris — he with the nifty
bow tie and the cheaters — his fea-
tures are perhaps better known, as
he has traveled throughout the
United States and Canada as con-
cert singer of the baritone persua-

Chief Summons Dogs by Air
PHEE JVEE, Canine Comedian,
Entertains, but Q-tail" hogs the air"
MORE animals on the air!
Children everywhere have
come to regard the Radio chil-
dren's hour as one of the
prime necessities of life. They do not
need to "see to believe" if only they
can hear.
So when a lion roars over the loud
speaker they clearly envision Mr. Lion
with spreading jaws, gleaming teeth and
terrifying eyes. But lions are almost
too temperamental even for a broadcast-
ing studio, although they have been
broadcast from some of the big movie
studios in California.
Of course the Radio "Uncles" and
"Big Brothers" and "Aunties" and "Big
Sisters" never try such tricks as imitat-
ing cats and dogs — oh no, never — why
should they when dogs and cats are so
jolly and friendly to everybody?
Take Chief, the big police dog at
Atlantic City, who delights entertaining
Radio audiences over WPG. Inciden-
tally he slips in a fraternal "woof" now
and then for canine listeners who may
be sitting about listening in with the
children.
Chief has chosen for his mistress Miss
Jeanette Mille. And Miss Jeanette has
for her father Mr. Robert C. Miller.
Mr. Miller is better known to the people
of Atlantic City as "Chief" because he
formerly was chief of police there. Nat-
urally Chief, the dog, feels he is entitled
to some special dignity and respect.
So it becomes his duty at certain times
of the year to take the microphone and
call together all the dogs of the nation
for solemn convention at Atlantic City
for the annual Dog Show. That the
summons reaches far across the conti-
nent is indicated by the enthusiastic yips
from thousands of shaggy throats, even
so far as Los Angeles, California.
If you don't believe that behold this
picture of Chee Wee, four-year-old pet
of Mrs. Jacob Greenberg, who not only
is at all times a delighted listener but
often puts on his own recitals. He is a
comedian.
Needless to say that cats are not so
keen about the bow-wow hours over the
Radio. Sometimes they- indicate their
distaste for such programs by ruffling
uptheir tails and spines and spitting dis-
dainfully. But that's all in a dog's life,
and cats are reminded that they can have
their own shows by themselves.
We hear a great deal about "hogging
the air," and the children often wonder
just where the "little pig that went to
market" has his share — and what if he
Chief and Mistress at
WPG mike and Chee Wee
putting over a dog laugh
at KFI
does "hog the air" and aren't hogs
entitled to some rights anyway?
Well, here's Q-Tail, a college bred
piggie at the Oklahoma A. and M. taking
a few minutes off at the lunch hour to
broadcast his philosophy over a KVOO
remote control microphone. Realizing
the greedy dispositions of his brothers
and sisters and the indifferent attitude
of his mother, one must give great
credit for the self-sacrifice of this sturdy
little porker in taking such a time to
"hog the air" for a Radio audience.
Several listeners, not familiar with
barnyard chatter, did not get the drift
of Q-Tail's vernacular and made unprint-
able exclamations as they started lifting
out tubes and making readjustments of
Q-Tail "hog-
ging the air"
over KVOO,
Oklahoma
rheostats and controls to get rid of
extraneous "noises," as they called it.
In the picture Q-Tail's caudal appendage
drapes gracefully to meet the angle of
his knees, but when he get's worked up
to real oratory the string (that in reality
is a tail) becomes highly animated and
twists into almost unbelievable contor-
tions. This amazing fact is unfortu-
nately lost to appreciative Radio audi-
ences and the boys and girls who are
listening to him.
Even snakes have a chance at the
microphone. Many people maintain that
a hissing snake is only a myth — that
snakes nev,er hiss. In fact they maintain
that the snake is totally dumb, and all
that smart talk about being as "wise as
the serpent" is just snake talk. How-
ever, the curator of the New York zoo
recently set a microphone in front of a
diamond back rattler's nest and the rat-
tler shook his "buttons" to show that at
least some snakes are not dumb.
Once at KFWB in Hollywood a fero-
cious widcat came snooping around
where he was not supposed to be and
found a microphone. A wildcat has a
most peculiar voice, very highly pitched,
and he might be easily mistaken for a
simple little house cat. Well, sir, he
found this microphone and began to air
his feelings in a most aggravating way.
"I wonder if it is a rat or a mouse or
a catbird?" said a little boy listening by
his set a few blocks away. He put on
his cap and went to investigate. Well,
when he saw the wildcat, and the wild-
cat saw him — but that's another story.
Only this is a good tip to the directors
of Radio studios. More animals on the
air! Let them tell their own stories and
make real parrots do the announcing.

^LARKED DECREASE Is Shown in Accidental Deaths
Where Children Organize Societies for Safety First
FRIGHTFUL as the casualties to
children from automobile acci-
dents truthfully are in the
course of a year there is not the
slightest doubt bjut they would be
even more terrible to a considerable
degree except for the kindly influence
of children entertainers over the Radio.
Practically every large broadcasting
station has on its program a children's
hour. It falls to the Uncles and Aunts
and Big Brothers who conduct these
periods to impress upon the small lis-
teners the real dangers that crouch in
the shadows beyond the curb stone to
destroy boys and girls not on watch.
It would be impossible to describe
the work of all the good people who are engaged in this work.
Two good examples will suffice. Probably the original prophet
of "The curb is the limit" slogan is Uncle Bob of KYW,
Chicago.
The director of KYW was asked for a story about Uncle
Bob. Here it is:
A STORY concerning "Safety" can hardly be better intro-
duced than to start with Uncle Bob (Walter Wilson) of
KYW. Nearly six years ago, KYW, then the only station in
Chicago and the pioneer of the West introduced a bedtime
story feature for children, and of course "Uncle Bob" had to
be the jolly good fellow who would be Uncle to millions of
youngsters. The stories were told — thousands of kiddies imag-
ined themselves before the log-fire while Uncle Bob told
them of Indians, bears, wolves, prairie schooners, hunting trips
and of how the different kinds of fish were caught. A year
SCORES and possibly hundreds of children
are alive today because of friendly warn-
ings by Ready Eddie and Handy Andy
(above) of KMOX, and Uncle Bob (left)
of KYW.
or so of that, and Uncle Bob achieved the
idea of promoting a safety slogan for the
thousands of youngsters who very faith-
fully heeded his many admonishings.
Don't play in the street, Uncle Bob told
them. "Watch out for automobiles, won't
you?" All of that suddenly brought the
million-dollar idea to Uncle Bob — "I'm
going to start a Radio club and call it
"THE CURB IS THE LIMIT CLUB"
and any child can join who takes the
pledge not to play in the street, count up
to ten and look both ways before crossing
a street, and to always befriend others.
No sooner said than done. Uncle Bob
and KYW became the media of forming
what has become one of the greatest in-
stitutions of its kind. A few weeks ago
the 300,000th member joined the club,
which means that actually that vast num-
ber of children have taken the pledge and
become members of the club. Each has
received a membership card too.
That this most wonderful work has taken firm root is
evidenced by the fact that not only parents have been heartily
thankful to Uncle Bob, saying, their children heed Uncle Bob
more than the folks; but The Curb Is the Limit Club, has
become a slogan of business institutions, Kiwanis Clubs
throughout the country, various organizations, schools, and
the matter has been brought to the attention of gubernatorial
bodies in Washington D. C. as well as various states. Then
too, it is noted that in several instances other Radio stations
have picked up the idea and are carrying on a similar good
cause along the same lines born of Uncle Bob's big humani-
tarian work. Perhaps Uncle Bob is indirectly responsible for
the many lives they too have saved.
Too much cannot be said of the great value The Curb Is
The Limit Club has done toward reminding1 youngsters about
the many dangers beset for them and perhaps no other Radio
entertainer in the world has so large a steady audience as

safety club was organized at KMOX in St. Louis. The writer

THE SAFETY CLUB OF KMOX
By Ruel McDaniel
IN the fall of 1926 the directors of the Safety Council in St.
Louis tried a unique experiment in life-saving. For several
years that organization had been diligently working along
industrial lines of safety. It had cut down by more than 100
per cent the deaths
by accident in fac-
tories and among
adults in general.
One thing, how-
ever, was disturb-
ing. The accidental
death rate was in-
creasing with a tor-
menting consisten-
cy. Something
must be done to
curb these needless
deaths and the
maiming of help-
less boys and girls.
Someone suggested j
Radio' broadcasting J
as a means of
teaching safety to m
the city's children
and their parents.
One evening Gir- f-;:r
ard C. V a r n u m ,
secretary - manager
of the local Safety
Council, secured
permission , to . talk . ,
a few minutes on
child safety over
station "KMOX."
V a r n u m was a t
something of a loss
as to what to do or
say when he
reached the studio.
He considered sev-
eral lines of reason-
ing. The formation
of some sort of
Radio safety club
among the children
persisted in his
mind.
In his short talk
that first evening,
he mentioned such
a club. The first
mail delivery the
next morning ab-
ruptly brought
back to Varnum
what he had said
the evening before,
because it loaded
his desk with letters and cards and memorandums. Some
were from mothers, others from fathers, and a lot from chil-
dren. Each mail delivery that day brought other cards and
letters.
Out of that mass of mail and the vague conception of some
sort of safety club grew the plans that created what is without
a doubt the most unique safety club in the world, and provided
a means of Radio broadcasting performing one of the noblest
tasks that an industry or a medium can be called upon to
perform.
COON thereafter there came upon the ethereal scene three
^~J odd characters whose voices and names have become famil-
iar not only in nearly every city in the United States but in
some of the far-corners of the earth. Safety Sam and the
Safety Twins, Handy Andy and Ready Eddie, began appearing
daily at six o'clock in the evening to talk over "KMOX" about
safety. For five evenings every week since that time this
cheerful trio has talked over this broadcasting station to chil-
dren and their parents all over the world about how to prevent
accidents and deaths to children.
Without finances or any conception of where the thing would

lead, the trio, under the direction of the St. Louis Safety Coun-
cil (the trio was in reality Mr. Varnum and two associates
in the local council, William F. Yorger and H. J. Brammier)
announced over the Radio that they had organized the Careful
Children's Club and invited members.
They made it clear that any child under 14 years of age
could join; that it cost nothing and the only thing necessary to
become a member was to write a card to Safety Town, the
designation given the home of the mythical club, signifying
that the writer wanted to join. The applicant then would re-
ceive a card which bore the pledge of the club, a button for
the member to wear, and a copy of the Safety Song. Safety
Sam, Handy Andy or Ready Eddie — whoever happened to
make the talk — would always explain that a boy or girl who
asked to be made a member obligated himself or herself to
read the pledge and
live by it. That
was all there was
to joining.
The Safety Coun-
cil had a few hun-
dred of t h e cards
and buttons printed
and began mailing
them out as the
cards came in. It
was totally unpre-
pared for the 10,-
000 requests for
membership that
poured in the first
week! Today the
mythical club has
nearly 500,000 mem-
bers, all boys and
girls under 14 years
old. Safety S a m
says that they could
get 1,500,000 mem-
bers in three
months if the coun-
cil had the money
to pay for printing
the cards and but-
t o n s and mailing
them out.
THE Careful
Children's Club
has a member in
South Africa who
listens in to follow
the instructions of
Safety Sam and the
Safety Twins every
time it is possible
for him to get the
distant "KMOX"
on his receiving set.
There are several
active members in
Mexico; a score in
Cuba; several in
Alaska ; some in
England, and a
dozen in Hawaii.
Obviously the
greater part of the
membership is in
St. Louis and other
cities and towns within a reasonable radius of St. Louis.
In St. Louis is little Francis Fuemmler, 12 years old and an
invalid. He has not walked in several years. He heard about
the club through a friend. He applied for membership.
Although he did not have a Radio receiving set, the club gave
the little fellow something to live for and he became its most
enthusiastic member. He sent in hundreds of names of other
children whom he had influenced to join.
Eventually his work for the club became known to a local
business man, who presented the child with a five-tube Radio
set. Being then able to listen in on Safety Sam and his twins,
Francis became a booster in earnest. About that time the
sponsors of the club decided to put on a membership drive,
having secured a reasonable supply of cards and buttons. It
offered a prize to the member who would send in or bring in
the most applications for membership. Invalid Francis Fuem-
mler sent in 20,000!
That is how much interest boys and girls are taking in
Safety Sam and his Careful Children's Club.
And has the club accomplished its objective?
Well, in 1926 during the months of August, September,

Everybody Mike's Friend Now
^Part's, New York, Wichita; Mountain or Plain
Voice of Radio Is Always Present
RUTH ELDER could not fly away from Mike, even in Paris. She is
seen here broadcasting greetings to all France. Later she was heard
on the air from various American stations.
WAS ever there a time in history
when an instrument of any kind
achieved such conspicuous and
instantaneous attention as has
the microphone?
It took the small hand camera, the
kodak and finally the moving picture
camera years to find a place of famil-
iarity in the public eye. The telephone
instrument set a fast pace once it got
started but it did not compare with the
microphone.
Nothing of consequence happens any
more unless one to a dozen microphones
are on hand to make a report of the pro-
ceedings for countless thousands beyond
the scene of action. We know this but
we scarcely pause to consider how vast
and significant a fact it is.
What a gift to all America was the
broadcast of Colonel Lindbergh's re-
turn! Even in the most remote com-
munities groups gathered around the
loud speaker to hear all the breathless
details caught in the moment of action
and heard instantly in every corner of
i he land.
And on the other side of the ocean
he had made his bow to all the European
continent through a microphone in
I'aris. Ruth Elder, whose beauty and
femininity made her a nine day wonder
to the people of the French republic,
;ilso had her turn at the microphone in
Paris.
In England it was the same. How-
ever, the British Broadcasting company
does not seem to be as freely aggressive
in picking up all matters of interest to
the general public. It holds to the
traditional British stolidity.
DISTINGUISHED Americans, going
abroad, are introduced to the people
through the microphone. In America
if the visitor finds it inconvenient to ro
to the microphone the microphone goes
to him. The banquet table is spread in
the golden banquet hall. The elite of the
world gather about. And among those
present at the speaker's place is our little
friend whom we have familiarly begun
to call "Mike." What would a speech
be worth to the hundred or so gathered
in the ordinary banquet hall? A lot of
effort wasted, most speakers would main-
tain. So Mike takes his place at the
table with perhaps half a dozen members
of his family. The feast of reason that
follows the demi-tasse is shared by the
hoi polloi et al.
There is no place too holy to give
Mike a welcome. He sits in the White
House, the Senate, the governor's man-
sion, the bishop's chamber or the pul-
pit of the Rev. Mr. Averagechurch. He
may even go to the street corner or
squat in a belfry to hear the chimes. Pie
goes into the heart of a mountain to re-
port a tunnel blast. He goes up in an
airplane or to the frigid Arctic. He
goes to the sick room and proclaims
the heart beat of a human being to a
specialist a thousand miles away.
Where was Mike a decade ago? The
chances are you, Mr. Reader, had never
heard of him. When Colonel Lindbergh
swooped around the thinly inhabited
countries of the Carribean the reports
show that people came down out of the
mountains and places where it had been
thought he was an unknown person.
But somehow the people knew about
him. Even in the half wild villages some
of the people had Radio receivers and
the fame of Colonel Lindbergh was
shown to have penetrated jungles and
highlands through the voices of the air.
1VTOW comes the great presidential
l^i campaign with floods of oratory
from the big convention halls. Of
course, carefully detailed preparations
have been made to see that Mike is
posted at the most important points.
The last convention was the first one he
ever attended and it was one of the
greatest boosts he had had up to that
time.
Radio stores and shops and all the
neighbors who had Radio receivers en-
tertained crowds day and night listen-
ing to the proceedings of the conven-
tion. This time the broadcasting will
take place under more favorable condi-
tions as the result of four years of ex-
perience. Fervid speakers will not be
permitted to wander away from earshot
in the heat of their inspired flights. Neat
little pens will be arranged to keep them
in appropriate proximity to Mr. Micro-
phone.
Almost everyone owns a Radio re-
ceiver these days and, although there will
be crowds at the public places, many
thousands of listeners will follow the
broadcasts for the first time.
The Radio listeners will know who's
nominated and how as soon as the dele-
gates themselves, which is a great boon
to the voter.
Each new season marks a vast ex-
pansion of the realm of the microphone.
The short wave transmitter promises a
great stride for the near future. It is
possible even now for voices to be heard
more than half way around the globe.
Mike is truly ubiquitous. He is every-
where. What will the next decade show?
1JUNDREDS of thousands who had
*■ * stopped going to church long ago
now tune in for religious services
every Sunday. They find a solace
for the troubled spirit in words from
devout and inspired leaders. Nor do
they have to go to the great metro-
politan centers for Radio church
service. The photo shows Rev. Dr.

What do you think of that?"
"Working for both stations it appears we ought to have a little more
power," said Mr. Tison, "but we want to be perfectly fair. If St. Petersburg
is agreeable to this arrangement I'll vouch for Clearwater. How about it?"
Mayor Baskin expressed sentiments of approval. In a little while they
were traveling South again with the long wave tucked away in their
mutual portfolio.
THE thing that pleased the St. Petersburgers most was that
they had nailed down that "Sun" for their call. They
boast of more sunshine per diem the year round than any other
city in the United States. St. Petersburg rests its fame on the
slogan "Sunshine City."
"Guess everything's jake now," said Mr. Tison when he had
returned to the station. He called in his assistants and
explained the situation.
"You are to be congratulated, sir," said
Rocco Grella, director of the Clearwater
Scarlet Guards, whose band concerts are en-
joyed by DX listeners in Chicago and the
Middle West. "Of course I understand it is

deliberately set their dials to get us. I shall

Tison, directing
Mayor Baskin to
a chair.
ALMOST the next best thing to going down to Florida
during the cold snaps in the North is to listen to the
Florida open air concerts over the Radio.
After WJAX, at Jacksonville, probably the strongest
station heard from the Land of Flowers is the one at Clear-
water on the Gulf Coast and about half way down to the Keyes.
Dividing time with WFLA at Clearwater comes the newer
station, WSUN at St. Petersburg, out on the tip of the penin-
sula of Tampa bay. They both use the-WFLA transmitter and
thereby dissipate a fictitious rivalry for the winter tourist busi-
ness. United they stand and together they broadcast for the
superior advantages of the Gulf Coast as against the alleged
more tempestuous vagaries on the Atlantic side.
St. Petersburg stood aloof during the mad scramble for
favorable wave lengths at the time the federal Radio com-^
mission was organized.
"We want a wave," said the St. Petersburgers, "but we want
it peaceably. When they get all through scratching, biting and
pulling hair we'll step in like gentlemen and ask for whatever
we are entitled to."
That was the attitude of Mayor Ham Baskin as he discussed
the matter with W. Walter Tison, director of WFLA at
Clearwater. But when noses were wiped and teeth set straight
again even peace loving WFLA found it had been gouged out
of its 820 kilocycle channel. Mayor Baskin and Mr. Tison
packed their bags and hied post haste to Washington. In short
order they appeared before the commission and delivered the
Voice of the Gulf Coast at close range.
The commissioners scratched their heads, chewed their
pencils and started figuring again.
"Tell you what," was the ultimate conclusion, "how'rl it

begin preparations for a series of open air concerts at once. We
will lure the shivering North down here with our music 'under-
neath the sheltering palms.' "
Miss Zona Gale Thaden, accompanist and staff artist, stepped
over to the piano and dashed off a few bars of Dixie.
"We'll make 'em wish they were in Dixie," she said.
It was Mr. Kerrick who had sponsored the plan of Radio
consolidation with Clearwater. He was elated at the report.
Soon he had a committee arranging details for a gala per-
formance to open the new WSUN for the edification of a
listening world.
Thus Radio brought two rival cities into a strong alliance
and set a worthy example for Minneapolis and St. Paul in the
zone of ice and snow.

MUSIC, music, music everywhere!
Never was the world so filled with music. Wherever
3'ou are — in the heart of the city, in the arctic, the
tropics or the heart of the wilderness — swirling about
you, over you and through you are ten thousand melodies.
Whether we actually hear them or not the thought that music is
there somehow gives one a feeling of satisfaction. It seems much
better to think of pervading tunes being present like happy
thoughts than to conceive the surrounding atmosphere an impotent
void. Receivers have been made so compact and portable that it
is not unusual to see them being carried along like cameras to be
set up on a restaurant table or in a tourists' camp.
So the music sweeps on wrapping the entire earth in tides of
harmony. Correspondence in this Radio Digest shows that the
Eskimos in the North, so far that contact with the rest of the
world comes but once a year, pick up the tunes of the old fiddlers'
contests at KDKA and play them for the Canadian Mounted
Police in their isolated outposts before the supply ship arrives
with its annual contribution ofphonograph records.

but the orchestra furnishes the

No broadcasting station could
hold one dial for a minute with-
out its mead of orchestral music.
While this fact is pleasing to
those who are professionally in-
terested it also is a fact quickly
seized upon by greedy-eyed
racketeers as an opportunity for
graft. For instance all the Chi-
cago broadcasters were called
together recently and given
orders by the walking delegate
of the musicians union that they
must hire so many persons or
pay so much license or give up
their musicians.
It is not believed the rank and
file of Chicago musicians are
behind this maneuver and many
have expressed resentment.
But by and large the orches-
tras throughout America are
doing a noble and worth while
service to humanity.
They give the best that
is in them, they put the
spirit of the age into
their instruments, they
broadcast music
because music is life to
them.
That which is life to
them comes to .the lis-
tener as an offering, a
moment of pleasure
that cost the individuals
who gave it years of
devotion to the art.
And so an orchestra
— especially the Radio
orchestra — c o m e s to
possess an individual
personality. The per-
sonality generally takes
the form of the leader
of the orchestra. It is
easier to think of one
than of a score of faces.

individualities or personalities come
to represent to the unseeing listener
a source of pleasure. Mention of
the name identified with the organ-
ization stimulates a desire to be
friendly and, possibly of service.
Thus it has happened that the
first great international popularity
contest for Radio orchestras has
awakened a keen interest among the
listeners of certain favored orches-
tras. These listeners believe the
orchestra to which they have
respectively attached their affections
are of course ideal. It is unthink-
able that anyone should presume
to believe that ether people might
consider another orchestra more
popular. Perceiving that this situa-
tion would naturally interest Radio
listeners in every community Radio
Digest decided to call for a vote.
Which are the seven most popular
orchestras in the United States and
Canada? Which one of these seven
is the most popular of all?
That has been the idea of the
Radio Digest contest. It has been
taken into account that leading
orchestras in each of the geograph-
ical divisions of the contest cannot
be heard by all those who vote.
Therefore it is not presumed that
all the listeners can compare the
respective merits of these orchestras
playing in direct competition with
each other. But it can be shown
how many listeners are sufficiently
interested to vote for each orchestra.
Maurie Sherman got the first
quick response from the listeners
of WLS, Chicago. Sherman's or-
chestra plays for one of the most
popular cafes in Chicago. He has made a careful
study of the kind of music the people within range
of his music like. The call for votes in support of his
judgment in selecting and presenting the kind of
music the people of the Chicago area preferred was
promptly acknowledged by a swarm of ballots in his
favor.
When the results were subsequently published in
Radio Digest a score friends of the WBAP Seven
Aces were astonished. They talked the matter over
and decided to raise the next count in favor of the
Texas boys. It was done accordingly, and the fol-
lowing month the Seven Aces topped the list while
Paul Christensen's orchestra at WHO, Des Moines,
suddenly began to make an emphatic gain.

world's most popular orchestra. That's what the Gurney orchestra at WNAX, Yankton, South Dakota,
thinks and does. Here they are just the way they did it when they rolled up 43,270 votes in the Radio
Digest popularity contest for the world's most popular Radio orchestra. "What's the fork for?" asked
a prominent farmer of the leader. "We get our pitch with it," was the prompt answer. "And we're
going to put Yankton on the map of North America."
While Iowa voters have taken several
of the Radio Digest trophies in recent
years it seems according to the latest
vote that the center of activity has crept
up into South Dakota and the Gurney
Radio orchestra at WNAX, Yankton,
registered to 43,270.
But the Mid-westerns have a close
contender in Walter Krausgrill's Bal-
conades Ballroom orchestra at KFRC,
San Francisco. Krausgrill developed
sudden strength at the third count and
has been growing by leaps and bounds.
There is still time to go for the final
ballot. Past records prove that there is
no guessing what surprises are in store.
Many listeners have been saving their
coupons to gain the bonus advantages.
These will come in in floods when the
contest ends at midnight of April 10.
Double count ballots are found in this
issue.
Russel E. Shantz has strong hopes
for the Century Orchestra of WMAK,
Buffalo. In his letter with 2,500 votes
he says:
"We think these boys have the best
Radio band in the East at least, and
certainly want to see them head their
division in this novel contest. We are
just beginning. Watch our smoke!"
Clyde R. Randall, director-announcer
at WSMB, New Orleans, where the
Dixola Novelty orchestra broadcasts,
writes that "we are giving the contest a
two-hour shot every Monday night."
That means votes and prospects are
good for the Dixola Novelty orchestra.
Charles FitzGerald and his Rythm
Kings at WJR, Detroit, sends a batch
of letters and votes from friends who
are pulling for the Kings to win in the
Detroit area. They are each keenly in-
terested in gathering votes for their
favorite.
D. B. Gurney, president of the Gurney
Seed & Nursery Company, and sponsor
for the Gurney WNAX orchestra now
at the head of the national list, is per-
sonally assisting in the call for votes
for this enterprising organization. The
listeners are all staunch in their support
of the WNAX programs as shown by
a recent survey by disinterested indi-
viduals. A great deal more is to be
heard from this station in a national
way in the future.
Down Texas way the Seven Aces
"All 'leven of 'em" are still holding the
West district, yielding the international
leadership to the Yankton boys of the
North. Listeners to WBAP believe that
the Seven Aces are still destined to win
the gold plaque.
There always is a good chuckle in the
katoon where Guy Watkins and his or-
chestra hold forth, but, believe me, the
Radio fans in this part of the country
know where Saskatoon is, and they
seem ready to back us with plenty of
votes."
At another time he writes, "This is
Saturday afternoon, and we do not work
on Saturdays but lay off and drink beer,
some day you will be free. Gosh, I'll
bet you hate that guy Volstead!"
It was Irvin Plumm's orchestra at
CNRW, Winnipeg, which first held the
Canadian honors. And there still is a
possibility that Little Jack Horner may
stick his thumb into the Contest pie and
pull out a Plumm for the Sixth district.
"The confidence that our friends
throughout the country have in our
winning this contest is overwhelming,"
writes Mr. Christensen of WHO. "The
local Junior Chamber of Commerce is
backing us to a man, and I think every
paper in the state had something nice
to say about us the day after the Feb-
ruary issue of Radio Digest hit the
newsstands. Again I want to thank
Radio Digest for a movement that will
benefit every orchestra in the country
that is taking an active part in it."

Digest goes to press is shown in the

Ancient Hu-chin Plays Jazz
Two-Stringed Fiddle From Time of Confucius Comes
to Life for Service of Young Moderns
CHINA is very old. Archaeologists are constantly mak-
ing new discoveries of its past. They are reaching back
into forgotten ages and unearthing vestiges of a civili-
zation that are all but astounding.
Bob Casey, reporter and explorer for the Chicago Daily
News, and author of the Step on the Stairs, written especially
for Radio Digest, has, since the first of the year, broken his
way alone through an almost impregnable jungle to discever
a new citadel in
southern China — a
city that once teemed
with a million popu-
lation and within
which, it appears, no
white man ever be-
fore had set his foot.
This strange and
amazing background
gives the modern
China an air of mys-
tery. Something i s
happening over there
which the rest of the
world understands
but little. The Chi-
nese are taking on the
Western civilization.
They attend our
schools and universi-
ties and that accounts
for C. L. Hsiang and
J. S. Yong, both of
Peking, now attend-
ing the University of
Minnesota, and their
curious two string
fiddles heard occa-
sionally over WCCO
at Minneapolis.
The Chinese name for the two stringed fiddle is hu-chin.
The two students are not very proud of it. They think it is

Both of the young Celestials are students at the University of Minnesota. To play the hu-
chin at home and in public would put them in disgrace. But it's a great little fiddle for Chinese
jazz and Mr. Hsiang says he gets a ereat kick out of it. It came into vogue in China at the
time nf Confucius.
too primitive. But it has proved very interesting to American
audiences. Either modern music is going back or the very old
time music of China is catching up, as the hu-chin seems to be
regaining favor in the younger set of the Celestial Kingdom.
"We would blush to be seen playing the hu-chin if we were
at home," said young Mr. Hsiang. "It's much too old fash-
ioned. But after all it is amusing and we get quite a kick out
of it, as you say.
"No, it is not so
venerable as some of
our real curios. I
believe it was
brought into general
use among the musi-
cal circles of the per-
iod from one of the
northern provinces
at about the time of
Confucius."
That it survived at
all is attributed to
the use made of it
by the more ignorant
classes. Almost any-
one could have a hu-
chin in the home —
and, certainly, any
human being with a
human soul must
have a certain
amount of music in
the course of a life-
time. So it was up
to the hu-chin to
satisfy the musical
longings of those
who could not afford
more complicated
and more expensive instruments. Every cottage had a hu-chin.

c^other Greets Son in Arctic
<2>ff. LANGFORD WITH McMILLAN Labrador Expedition
Hears Parent and Sister over KOIL
a
H
By George R. Wood
(News Director-Announcer, KOIL)
ELLO, EARL — I hope you hear me. This is mother
talking to you from KOIL at Council Bluffs; and, Earl,
this is one time I can talk to you and you can't talk
back. We are all well and happy here in Omaha, so
don't worry about us. Take good care of yourself and we'll hope to
see you next October. Your father is listening in to the broadcast
at Grand Island, Nebraska. Good night," Mrs. W. I. Langford,
mother of Dr. Earl K. Langford, chief physician and surgeon with
the Donald McMillan expedition in the Arctic regions, told her son
over KOIL Thursday evening, February 9, at 11:30 o'clock, central
standard time. Then the doctor's sister, Mrs. A. W. Elsasser, also
of Omaha, played her own accompani-
ment while singing a number for her
brother.
Just before the time for the broad-
cast the studio telephone rang and a
woman's voice said, "Please send greet-
ings to my cousin, Charles Sewell, bot-
anist with the expedition." The voice
was that of Mrs. Wood Allen of Council
Bluffs, who also is a personal friend of
McMillan. A rush trip by automobile
to the home of Mrs. Allen brought her
to the studio and she spoke to Mr.
Sewell.
These speakers who never before had
faced a microphone were not affected
by "mike fright," as so many are on
their first appearance before the micro1-
phone. They seemed to forget there
was anyone in the studio excepting
themselves — they were talking to loved
ones "snowed in" in the far north, who
always were in their thoughts. The women's voices were firm,
not the least trace of nervousness was shown, when they
stepped up to the announcer's desk to greet their loved ones
with the arctic expedition. The realization that the whole
world could be listening to
their conversation did not en-
ter their thoughts. They only
visualized two grizzly-bearded
men dressed in heavy fur
clothing, with strained ears to
catch just one precious word
from home — and the speakers
were using every effort to send
that word out on the wings
of the clear crisp night to the
ones they loved best.
So, far into the thousands
and thousands of acres of ice
and snow in the arctic wastes,
these two men heard relatives
speaking to them from home.
After the relatives had
spoken, KOIL then intro-
duced every artist on the sta-
tion staff and for the next two
hours a program in which 30
artists participated was broad-
cast for the McMillan party.
The program included clas-
sical numbers, popular num-
bers, vocal and solo numbers,
orchestras and a xylophone
solo, with Bob Hall, Don
Searle, Howie Martin and
the program.

Knowing that Dr. Langford's parents resided in Omaha, just
across the Muddy Missouri from Council Bluffs, KOIL tried
for many weeks to get in touch with the operators of WNP,
the station of the expedition, located 90 miles inland from
Nain, Labrador. After the several weeks' trial, the station
was rewarded with a message received from Dr. Langford
and relayed through short wave station 9DZW, through the
assistance of the American Relay Radio league. The message
from Dr. Langford stated: "Was reminded that I never
thanked you for your radio log you sent me last fall. While
listening to your good program the other evening, we all
enjoyed it very much. Enough volume to make the lou-l
speaker complain." H. W. Kerr, owner and operator c:
9DZW, Little Sioux, Iowa, relayed the message to KOIL.
and the station immediately asked his co-operation in sending
a message to the doctor that his mother would speak to him
over the station, which Mr. Kerr did and then the entire
membership of the A. R. R. L. got busy relaying the message
to Labrador, and all stood by faithfully to pick up a return
message that the expedition heard the program. Facilities of
KOIL have been offered to Mrs. Langford and Mrs. Allen
for the purpose of communicating with their relatives. The
station also has set aside 13 o'clock Monday nights to broad-
cast a program for the explorers and to send any message
from relatives of any of the party.
In the photograph appears Mrs. Elsasser speaking to Dr.
Langford 3,000 miles awa3r, and the picture of the doctor as
he appeared when leaving last June for the arctic and as he
now appears in the fur clothing necessary in the far north.
The short wave station at Little Sioux, 9DZW, played a big
part in putting over the broadcast, and on several occasions
has relayed messages to the doctor's mother in Omaha. The
A. R. R. L. also played a big part in the work.
An interesting sequel to the experiment was a radiogram
from WNP through the Radio Relay League stating, "Heard
the program, ten to eleven, and except for part of announce-
ment it was O. K. Later we heard last half of the expedition
program, which came in perfect. Everyone enjoyed it very
much. (Signed) Dr. Langford."
ON the following evening KYW broadcast its final program
of the season to the listeners of the far north with Maurice
Wetzel at the microphone. About fifty letters were read to
friends and relatives scattered almost all the way around the
Arctic circle.
The editor of Radio Digest accepted an invitation to tell
those isolated behind the snow barriers of the latest improve-
ments in Radio. The listeners were informed of the success-
ful development in television and the prospect of being able
in the near future to see their friends and relatives as well
as hear them while they are shut in at their dark winter
quarters. A resume of the news of the day was read by E. L.
Gross of the KYW staff and subsequent messages indicated
that broadcasts reached their destinations.

Wendt Advanced Radio in Arctic
of
\^17"HEN the story is written in full of the penetration
VV Radio into the land where about half the year is night
probably the greatest amount of credit will rightfully go to
George A. Wendt of the Canadian Westinghouse company in
Montreal. He has never been forgetful of those brave men who
have crossed the Circle of the Pole.
He has watched the increasing air traffic with the keenest
interest until now there are special weekly programs from
several stations where for years the Westinghouse stations
performed this service exclusively.
Concerning the announcement of the advancement of tele-
vision over KYW he wrote to Radio Digest as follows:
"Having originated these Arctic broadcasts something over
five years ago, I could not help but visualize what your talk
meant to the men in the North. The Hudson's Bay company's
men usually go in for a period of three years while the
mounted police usually stay in on an average of two years, and
in all that time except when the annual supply ship arrives,
they see no one except the two or three men associated with
them, and usually the same Eskimos.
"Only once a year do the ships go in and take in the usual
supply of mail and pamphlets and bring out the furs, and then,
except for Radio, they are entirely cut off from the outside
world for a period
of twelve months.
The vision which
you brought before
them of the possi-
bility of some day
in the future of see-
ing events of t h e
outside world by
Radio probably
meant more to
these people than
any other human
beings in the world.
''One of the
curious things that
I encountered was
that the Eskimos
had been taught the
old square dances
some centuries ago
by the whalers, and
accordingly all the
women learned to
play the accordion,
some of them being
very adept at this.
"In one of the
posts in the Far
North the Mounties
told me the Eski-
mos were great at
coming in and lis-
tening to Radio
music, and after
listening to some
of the old time fid-
dlers' contests of
KDKA, they were
quite able to repro-
duce some of these
tunes. Every year
the supply ship car-
ries up a fresh
1) a t c h of phono-
graph records — the
popular new songs
produced since the
last shipment.
"The Mounties
eagerly try them
out. Recent years
it lias been some-
what of a surprise
to them to find the
records are remi-
niscent of tunes
heard from the
Eskimo accordions.
Of course it was
obvious t li a t the
Eskimos were getting the latest first by Radio, and making
tlie tunes familiar. Consequently phonograph records have
lost some of their former zest of 'something new.' "
Mr. Wendt ridicules claims published recently that Green-
land is just getting its first Radio reception. He sends copies
of letters from Godliaven and other points giving details of
American reception for the last three years. Experts note that
signals fade for eleven-day periods in Greenland.
TV/IISS LILLIAN REHBERG is the accomplished young cellist of the Westinghouse station,
"* KYW. She has won several prizes for her artistic ability although still in her "teens."
One of the distinctions conferred upon her was to serve as soloist for the Chicago Symphony
orchestra. Her artistic nature does not prevent her from being a regular girl. She is the
"life of the party" in the KYW studio.
Point Barrow Gets Time Signals
FACING the ice-covered Arctic Ocean, Point Barrow is
America's "farthest north" point of civilization. Except
for a few weeks in the summer time when the ice goes off
shore and it is possible for boats to come in, Point Barrow
has no communication with the outside world other than by
dog trail over the great barren waste that separates it from
communities further south. Dog sleds are seldom used except
for emergency as settlements are far apart and not easily
reached overland.
Point Barrow is the center of activity of great whaling
and sealing operations. The Department of the Interior
maintains a school for the natives. There is also a Presby-
terian Hospital and mission and a trading post at Point
Barrow. Its population is approximately 508 — 500 Eskimos
and eight whites. Occasionally the white population is aug-
mented by those who are planning dashes to the North Pole
or correspondents for newspapers awaiting the completion
of flights from the other side of the world, as Point Barrow
is America's "hopping-off place" for the North Pole.
In spite of its remoteness, time is important in this tiny
Alaskan village. Owing to the fact that the sun sets on
November 20th not to rise again until January 22nd, Point
Barrow has no way of verifying its time for more than two
months. It is said
that the last thing
a man does who is
going to Point
Barrow is to se-
cure a dependable
watch and have it
adjusted to keep
good time for years.
During this long,
dark, winter night
of more than two
months, all activ-
ity in the village
ceases with the ex-
c e p t i o n of the
school. The time
observed by the
school authorities
necessarily is taken
as the standard
time of the village,
although it has
been known to
have been as much
as two hours off
when finally
checked against
the position of the
sun. Complications,
it can be seen, eas-
ily arise from situ-
ations such as this
and there have
been many heated
arguments as to
the correct time.
Last summer
was a particularly
severe one in the
Arctics. The. gov-
ernment revenue
cutter got no fur-
ther north than
Teller (near
Nome). Were it
not for the fact
that Point Barrow
would have been
without a school
teacher, no attempt
would have been
made to reach the
northern village.
Typical of the
kind of men who
ventured forth into
America's far
north is Leon S.
Vincent, a young
recruit in the Alaska service of the United States depart-
ment of education. He and his bride of a few months had
accepted a teaching position near Nome. When the word
came of the vacancy at Point Barrow, the young couple imme-
diately volunteered to go further north, and the stalwart crew
of the U. S. M. S. Boxer, a small vessel used by the Alaska
School Service, determined to make the attempt to reach
Point Barrow. (Continued on page 122)

Radio Continuities New Art
Skill and Special Writing Technique Required to Link Elements
of Broadcast Program in Smooth Running Order
WHAT is a Radio "continuity"?
There are several answers to
the question. The best, perhaps,
is that the continuity is the manuscript of the broad-
cast program — the speeches, cues and "business" of the air
production.
A continuity is to Radio what a scenario
is to a motion picture or a libretto to a
musical comedy. It links together the
various episodes of the entertainment and
makes the broadcast coherent and easy to
understand. In other words, the con-
tinuity is the "plot" of the broadcast.
The Radio continuity is truly the in-
fant of the literary branch of the enormous
family of entertainment. The Radio con-
tinuity has come into general use in the
past three years. Because it is a new
thing, it is still in development and sub-
ject to many experiments and changes.
In spite of its swaddling clothes, the Radio
Gerard Chatfield continuity has an individuality that is dis-
tinctly its own — it has created a new
technique in writing.
A careful search has failed to reveal the original Radio con-
tinuity. If it were found it probably would be a tattered pro-
gram of an early Radio broadcast with some penciled notes
of an announcer on the margins. Three years ago, almost all
announcers stepped
up to the micro-
phone with a faint
idea of what ought
to be said and then
trusted to sponta-
neous eloquence, a
necessary attribute
of every announcer
in those days, to
carry them through.
With the advent of
bigger programs
and more programs,
spontaneous a n -
nouncements be-
came increasingly
difficult to offer with
any degree of satis-
faction and grad-
ually, the an-
nouncers started
their evenings'
work with typed
notes of the proper
things to be said.
These typed notes
rapidly were
evolved into the
present continuity
which not only tells
the announcer what
to say but tells him
to say it.
The sponsored program — the program offered "through the
courtesy of" some firm — proved a further stimulus to the
development of the continuity. The continuity for a spon-
sored program was so written that the firm received mention
in the_ right way at the right time and benefitted from the
advertising of the Radio program. Though sales arguments
and direct appeals to buy are unheard of on the better class of
programs, there is always some deft phrase that impresses the
listener-in with the quality of the broadcast sponsor's product.
THE production of a Radio continuity is interesting. The
work as it is done in the continuity department of the
National Broadcasting company, may be taken as an example
of the care used in preparing the 'script. It might be of interest
to follow the growth of a script.
Three weeks before the planned program is to go on the
air, copies of the musical selections are submitted to the con-
tinuity department. Assume that the program is sponsored
by the manufacturers of Clicquot Club ginger ale. The con-

room located in the basement of the Auditorium. Phone and telegraph keep continuous
contact with other net stations.
/hen to say it and, quite often, how
tinuity writers study the program and
then begin to work out the announce-
ments, cues for music and other direc-
tions. The opening announcement is carefully done, for it
must be skillfully written in order to attract immediate atten-
tion. Then there must be a subtle reference to the advertised
product — for instance, mention may be made of "snappy,
sparkling music" and one thinks of "snappy, sparkling" in con-
nection with the ginger ale.
Between each musical selection — if music happens to be the
foundation of the entertainment — there must be speeches for
the announcer. These speeches are carefully worked out and
timed to the second. Then there is the closing announcement
which is designed to leave the auditor with a definite impres-
sion of the program he has just heard and a desire to hear a
similar program at the next opportunity.
The technique of continuity writing includes three impor-
tant things. The whole thing must be pleasing to the listener-
in; the words and phrases must be clear and easily understood
and the entire continuity must be written to take up a certain
period of time — no more and no less. Truly, minutes on the
air are golden minutes.
Long words, words of four or more syllables are carefully
avoided. Compound, complex sentences, too, are taboo. Sim-
ple words and simple phrases must be used — and the general
effect is a clarity of expression that is very pleasing.
The continuity writers must be sure of their facts, too.
Always there is some person in Keokuk or Kokomo who is
quick to notice the
slightest error in an
explanation of
some musical selec-
tion. In order to
make sure that all
facts used are
actual facts, the
National Broad-
casting company
has established a
department of Lit-
erary and Musical
Research where ex-
perts prepare data
on the various pro-
grams. This de-
partment is a val-
uable ally of the
continuity depart-
ment.
The sponsored
program is not the
only job put up to
the continuity de-
partment. The
writers are called
upon to evolve new
and novel methods
of presenting Radio
programs, to pre-
sent unusual pro-
grams in a manner that will emphasize the individuality of
the broadcast and to cut and trim and rewrite dramatic
sketches in order that they may be presented in the time
allotted for the program.
Each month sees the continuity department assuming a
greater importance in the broadcasting industry. As broad-
casts improve steadily in entertainment content and in general
merit, so must the continuities improve.
The time is not far distant when the continuity department
will be called upon to arrange productions that will be as
complicated and as laborious as many of the mammoth theat-
rical entertainments now on Broadway. Big things are to be
done in Radio and big things will be expected of the continuity
department.
The infant Radio continuity is a lusty youngster. He lias
grown in a few short years from his embryonic form of the
scribbled notes on a tattered program to his present develop-
ment of many pages securely bound in manila cover. One
may expect to see the day when he will appear in a cloth
bound jacket and take his place along with the bound volumes
of successful plays or motion picture stories.

LET the eagle scream, but watch out
for blasting!
From now on until election the
air of the nation will quiver with the im-
passioned voices of political leaders pro-
claiming the virtues of their respective
candidates, and warning against the
calamities that always threaten the
American government every four years.
George R. Wood claims that Station
KOIL, Council Bluffs, was the first in
the field to take a straw vote. Standings
of the various Presidential nominees are
announced daily.
Engineers from the leading broadcast
stations are surveying the convention
halls at Kansas City and Houston.
Those not served by the chain systems
are trying to get independent hook-ups.

Wires of the press and wires of the
broadcasters will make a veritable web
of tingling fibers swathing the halls that
are to pick the man to guide the nation
through the next four years.
Never in its history will the United
States have been so well served with in-
stantaneous news of the Presidential
campaign as during the year 1928.
Women will have a great deal to say
at this election. The league of women
voters has made affiliations with promi-

important centers. The Government club
is on the air regularly through the Na-

Telling Fortunes With Foods
Like the Mystic of Old Mrs. Peterson Shows Housewives
How Foods Become the Elixir of Success
WHEN Colleen Moore returned to
Hollywood several years ago, she
looked across at a motherly look-
ing woman who was getting off the train
also' surrounded by a large following of
admirers. "Who are you?" the little
screen star called out merrily.
"Only a cook from Chicago," answered
Anna J. Peterson with a chuckle.
Here was an older woman whose
Radio audience had never seen her com-
peting for popularity with , a young
motion picture actress. However, for
three years, at that time, Mrs. Peter-
son's voice had been entering thousands
of homes when she broadcast from
KYW. Now she may be found at her
usual hour of 11:35 a. m. behind the
microphone of WENR. Her experiences
as a mother, a grandmother, and a busi-
ness woman have given to her voice a
quality that wins at once the hearts of
her invisible audience. Along with her
descriptions of foods, she gives homely
bits of advice on homemaking, and hints
for those who must economize. Her
listeners know that she understands
them. And so when fellow tourists heard
her voice, they recognized an old and
trusted friend.
Mrs. Peterson comes to her position as
adviser in thousands of homes through-
out the Middle West with not only her
own practical experience but with the
training she received under Fannie Far-
mer, her sixteen years of teaching in the
East and her laboratory work with a
corn products company and with the gas
company. Every recipe she broadcasts
has been tested in her kitchen. Broad-
casting is, of course, only a small though
very important part of her work.
In order to show the homemaker what
wonderful opportunities for health and
happiness the intelligent use of food
may bring, Mrs. Peterson has been giv-
ing a course of lessons called "Telling
Fortunes With Foods." Here is a' sample
broadcast:
Hints on Food Values
By Anna' J. Peterson
WHEN we think of fortune telling,
we probably have before our minds
some sort of mystic person or
thing, perhaps a Hindu, full of very wise
thoughts, with his intensive steady gaze
into our faces, or perhaps a very
motherly looking Woman, who says she
is the possessor of the mind of some
Indian prince or princess and can tell
us our past, present and future. Without
any of this mystical thing I am talking
about — with just plain everyday food, I
am able to tell at least what your future
will be — even if I cannot delve into the
past or present. The foods you eat
today tell whether you keep the elastic
step of youth, whether your eyes keep
clear and bright in the years to come.
Gray hairs and wrinkles trace their
beginning to a lack of something in the
system, which might have been supplied
with food.
That is why I call the onion "fruit,"
which I give in this menu, the very
elixir of life, for I know it has in it the
elements which will make the skin clear
and fresh, and keep you vigorous with a
zest for living.
Onion Soup
4 large potatoes.
4 medium-sized onions.
1 bunch soup greens.
1 pint water.
1 quart milk.
Yz cup butter.
1 teaspoon salt.
Paprika.
Scrub potatoes very clean. Cut pota-
toes and onions into even sized cubes ;
mince soup greens; add water and cook
gently 15-20 minutes until thoroughly
ANNA J. PETERSON, WENR, National
dietetic authority and adviser to thousands
of listening housewives.
soft. Push through strainer. Add milk,
butter, salt and paprika and re-heat in
double boiler.
At least once a week, it is very whole-
some for us to use a vegetarian dish,
such as the vegetable chop suey I am
giving you, to take the place of meat and
potato in the daily dinner, and makes a
delightful dish, which to me is the per-
sonification of life.
Vegetable Chop Suey
Spanish onion.
green pepper.
red pepper.
cups celery.
small head cauliflower.
cup fresh or canned mushrooms.
cup fresh or canned tomato.
cup bean sprouts.
cups boiling water.
tablespoon Vegex.
Y2 teaspoons salt.
Y2 cup parsley.
Peel onion; wash remaining vegetables
clean and cut or shred evenly. Separate
flowerets of cauliflower and cut them
lengthwise. Place all vegetables except
parsley in saucepan; add boiling water
and salt; cook gently 15 minutes uncov-
ered. Add Vegex and cook 5 minutes
longer. Turn into serving dish and
sprinkle with chopped parsley.
In my search for salads, which bring
the iron you need to make the blood
red, I have developed a fresh spinach
and radish salad, with a new honey and
lemon dressing which is perfectly de-
licious. Spinach shredded with a scis-
sors as I have directed in this recipe, is
entirely different from cooked spinach,
and I am sure you will like the glow it
brings you of joy in the spring days.
Fresh Spinach and Radish Salad
1 pound spinach.
1 bunch radishes.
1 small head lettuce.
Honey and lemon dressing.
Wash .vegetables thoroughly. Shred
spinach with scissors, and grate radishes
on coarse grater. Toss spinach, radishes
and dressing together. Serve in lettuce
cups.
Honey and Lemon Dressing
Y\ cup honey.
Yz cup lemon juice.
Few grains salt.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and
marinate salad greens.
When we are forecasting your future
with foods, to make your golden dreams
come true, we must use whole grain
products in our menu which will give to
the body all the elements it needs. That
is why in the dessert planned for this
menu I have used whole wheat in making
my apple and honey turnovers, and you
will note also I have used honey for
sweetening the apples. Honey, like
maple sugar, is one of the easiest di-
gested forms, of sweets and It does not
require much of it to give the satisfac-
tion which we crave.
Whole Wheat Apple and Honey
Turnovers
Filling:
6 apples.
Yz cup honey.
Ya teaspoon cinnamon.
*4 teaspoon salt
Crust:
1J4 cups whole wheat flour.
% teaspoon salt.
Yz cup solid shortening.
5 tablespoons cold water.
Wash, core and chop apples, but do
not pare them; add honey, cinnamon
and salt and mix well.
Mix flour andsalt; cut in shortening;
add water, cutting into a soft dough.
Toss onto floured board, pat and roll
out. Cut with large cutter about size of
a saucer; place apples on y2 of dough:
moisten edge with cold water and cover
with other half, pressing edges firmly.
Place on baking tin and bake 40 minutes
at 350 degrees.
If I could sit with 3rou at your family
table when you serve this menu, I am
sure I could promise to all of you a
renewed vigor in living, and a delight
in the days to come, which makes ir
possible for you to carry out your very
dreams and desires.
What Mrs. Peterson is trying to do
more than anything else is1 to make her
Radio listeners feel that the job of tak-

^A Menu a la Verte
MRS. JULIAN HEATH, who has ad-
vised housewives through the mi-
crophone of WJZ for three years,
lias made a life work of persuading
women to make a serious study of their
work of homemaking. From 1912 to 1917
she was editor and part owner of the
Housewives' Magazine and she has also
lectured throughout the country. She is
especially interested in marketing prob-
lems and devotes a great deal of her time
on the air to this subject.
■everything that pertains to the busi-
ness uf housekeeping is included in the
scope of these chats. New kitchen uten-
sils are described as they come out. She
has spoken on interior decoration. It is
even rumored that she has instructed
brides on the proper way to draw up a
laundry list.
Here is one of Mrs. Heath's menus with
a predominating tone of green suggestive
of old Erin, which might easily be used
for a holiday dinner. Begin the meal with
cream of lettuce soup. Serve artichokes
with Hollandaise sauce, roast lamb with
mint sauce, potatoes O'Brien, green peas,
and beans, water cress or lettuce and
tomato salad. The color scheme may be
carried out in the dessert by having va-
nilla and pistachio ice cream, small cakes

with green icing and a sprinkling of green
pistachio nuts. As extras serve pickles
and green olives. The recipes for these
dishes given here have been submitted
by Mrs. Heath.
Cream of Lettuce Soup
1 qt. milk, scalded.
1 pt. cold water.
lettuce leaves.
2 or 3 small carrots.
Salt and pepper.
Handful of parsley.
3 white onions (cooked ones may be used).
Plour for thickening- (about 2yz table-
spoons).
When using the hearts of head lettuce
for salad, prepare soup from the best out-
side leaves. Wash lettuce leaves and pars-
ley well, add onions and carrots, pour the
water over them and cook until the vege-
tables are soft enough to be put through a
strainer. (The pulp should be scraped
from strainer and used.) Thicken this
liquid with blended flour and water, let
boil, then gradually add scalded milk.
Shredded parsley may be added.
Artichokes With Hollandaise Sauce
The artichokes themselves are prepared
by plunging them in boiling water and
boiling for five minutes.
Sauce for Artichokes
Vz cup butter.
6 tablespoons boiling- water.
Salt and cayenne pepper.
4 egg- yolks.
1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar,

Barnes, Pat, Announcer of WHT,
Winner of 192 7. Mr. Barnes
was interested in motion pic-
ture productions before he
went to war and only studied
voice accidentally. When he
came back from France, he
produced "A Buck on Leave,"
which was very popular and
which toured the United
States. He tried to get big
producers interested in it for
the motion pictures but it was too soon
after the war. As director and an-
nouncer of WHT he has won a large fol-
lowing. In fact, Al and Pat constitute
one of the most popular teams on the
air. Pat has that Irish sense of humor
which always adds spice to any program
he may be directing. He even announces
market reports in a droll way.

director of New York

is working on educa-

Von Bulow, Clara
Schumann, Tausig,
Joachim, Auer, Haen-

many 'moderns be-
sides. Mr. Damrosch
has composed operas,
symphonies and even
music for Greek
plays. Probably his
favorite composers
were Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms. No
man in America today has done so much
for the appreciation of music and he con-
tinues to do his work, using Radio as an
aid.

liked best. He
began his Radio
work in the old
days at WGI,
Medford Hillside,
playing the uku-
lele and singing
a few songs. In
fact, he man-
aged the station.
He began to ap-
peal to the chil-
dren through the
title of Big
Brother Bob. The
children in this
portion of Massa-
chusetts liked
him so much
better as a Big
Brother than
they did the
various uncles twexmx
and aunts on the
air that he became their leader. When
they had Boy Scout programs he broad-
cast them. This last winter he made spell-
ing bees popular through the state.

Hay George, Director-Announcer WSM. "Sol-
emn Old Judge." Gold Cup
Announcer of 1924. He be-
gan his Radio career as a
newspaper man. When the
Memphis Commercial Appeal
started WMC, it fell to George
Hay to put on the programs
incidental to his Radio page.
His announcing was so indi-
vidual and had such an ap-
peal for the public that it
soon became his real job. George Hay was
the announcer who introduced the Missis-
sippi river boat whistle. When he left
WMC for WLS, Chicago, they substituted
a steam whistle for the river whistle.
From WLS he went to WSM where he is
still presiding at the microphone. Not
only has Mr. Hay won fame as an an-
nouncer, he has written a book called
"Howdy, Judge."

Hough, Harold V., is simply another name
for Hired Hand, director of help at WBAP'.
He is an entertaining announcer with
much original wit.
His club, "Why Tell
the Truth," is over-
flowing with mem-
bers and bids fair to
be the largest organ-
ization on the air:
that is, if Congress
does not legislate
against it. When he
is not announcing,
the Hired Hand
grows one or two lit-
tle watermelons
which, he claims, will
have the names of
the recipient inside.
Sometimes the wrong
name appears and
causes a lot of trou-
ble. Last year h i s
watermelons were
smaller than usual,
only occupying one
wash tub apiece. We
would like to sec
what Texas could really do. The Hired
Hand is also famous for his announcing
of the Sunflower Girl. By the way, you
can get records of her voice.

The next thing Radio fans
found him at WTMJ, Milwau-
kee. But when he discovered
that Milwaukee had lost its
flavor ha consented to return
to WGES where he is now.
He has a fine Radio personality and a
nice voice and has many friends. He is
planning- to use many new features at
WGES. He is always good as an enter-
tainer himself and has a very pleasing
voice, and doubtless will be one of the
leading voices of the future.

i thrilled more than one fan
seeking distant stations.
Lambdin Kay belongs to the
early and select group of an-
nouncers who lured the DX
fan to late hours. Whenever a Radio sta-
tion has a birthday party, Mr. Kay is one
of the guests. The rumor is that he got
married this last summer, but he refuses
to make any statement. At least he does
not deny it.

idly, and, as his is one of the
favorite voices of the South,
he will, no doubt, be heard from in the
future. However, he is interested in a
fruit and poultry farm in Oklahoma and
may leave his announcing for a farmer's

Tyson, E. I.., Announcer-Director WWJ.
Mr. Tyson is one of the real
pioneers of Radio. When the
DX fan was searching through
the ether for the sound of a
distant voice, listeners East,
West, North and South heard
E. L. announcing. He was
also on the air when stations
were fewer and all the an-
nouncers knew each other.
Mr. Tyson has been six years
with the same station, which is remark-
able. Before Radio was. he went to the
Pennsylvania State College and finished
his education traveling with the A. E. F.
in France and Belgium. He served with
the Pennsylvania National Guards (103d
Trench Mortar Battery). After the war
he was content to travel via the ether
and return every night. He has a quiet,
unaffected way of announcing which
never grows tiresome.

Opera Popularized in Air Programs
Various Forms of the Ultra Classic Now Accepted by
Many Listeners With New Appreciation
OPERA. The name opera comes
from the Italian and indicates generally,
a musical work. The art form of opera
or "Music-drama" is of ancient origin,
having reached a stage of great perfec-
tion under' the Greeks, but it probably
had an even earlier origin.
Opera has several distinct develop-
ments, grand opera; simple opera (in
which everything is sung), and opera
comique (a comic opera with spoken
dialogue). An operetta, a light form of
opera is generally of short duration with
the song and dialogue alternated.
For a while opera was one of the
early attractions of Radio broadcasting.
Then it was withdrawn by the pro-
ducers. But now we are not only hear-
ing the old established opera companies
but many of the leading broadcasting-
companies have organized their own
opera groups. All of the forms of
opera indicated above have been pro-
duced for the listener in his home and
the community center where loud speak-
ers bring the programs of the air. Fol-
lowing are short sketches of some of the
better known productions heard by
Radio audiences.

find a new land. Vasco follows, but through

and most of the crew massacred by Selika's
people, the 'Queen of India. Selika, however,
saves Vasco's life and they are to wed when.

young lovers, becomes furious.

glory, with many Ethiopian prisoners, including
AiSa's father, Amonasro, who is released by the
king at the request, of the young captain. As a
reward for his victory, the king offers Amneris,
his daughter, in marriage to Radames.
In the next, the Nile scene, Aida is forced
by her father to persuade Radames to turn
traitor. Because of his love for Aida, and his
unwillingness to go through with the marriage
with Amneris, Radames agrees to the plot, but
is overheard by Amneris. When the young

learns of his sister's love for Edgar and in an
underhand manner convinces Lucia that Edgar
is not true to her. Due to the intense pleadings
of her brother she finally, very much against her
will, says that she will marry Lord Arthur.
Then the wedding scene at which the famous
sextette is sung. It is at this time the heart-
broken Edgar arrives to denounce Lucia for her
unfaithfulness. He is evicted from the castle
ind Lucia, whose mind has become deranged,
iuddenly kills her husband and then dies. Ed-
gar's sorrow is more than he can bear, so he
stabs himself while in the churchyard at Ra-
venswood.
MANON LESCAUT (Man-on Les-koh). (Puc-
cini). Sung in Italian. Opera in four acts, the
libretto, founded on Abbe Prevost's novel, be-
ing mainly the work of the composer. The Abbe
Prevost romance has been treated operatically
by several composers.
Manon's brother, Lescaut, is escorting his sis-
ter to the convent where she is to complete her
education. While Lescaut is carousing with
companions, Manon meets des Grieux, who
chances to be dining at the inn, dressed as a
student. School not appealing to the girl, she
agrees to elope, thereby spoiling the plans of
Geronte, who had planned to abduct her. Manon
tires of des Grieux and his poverty, and leaves
him for Geronte; but when des Grieux, appears
again she runs away with him. Geronte de-
nounces Manon as an abandoned woman. She
is condemned to be deported to Louisiana. Des
Grieux and Lescaut try to rescue her, but the
attempt fails and the former begs the com-
mandant to permit him to accompany her. In
the final scene the lovers are shown in a
"desert" near New Orleans. Des Grieux leaves
Manon to search for water, and returns just in
time to see her die in his arms.
MARTHA (Flotow). Opera in four acts by
Friedrich Von Flotow. Libretto by Wilhelm
Friedrich Reese and St. George. First produced
in Vienna, 1847.
The story: Lady Harriet, maid of honor to
Queen Anne, has tired of the dullness of court
life so she and her maid, Nancy, slip away, dis-
guised as servants, to the fair at Richmond.
Here, according to the old custom, they are
brgained for by the two farmers, Lionel and
Plunkett, and are taken away to a farm. They
escape, however, in the morning and return to
court. Life to Nancy and Lady Harriet is even
duller than before, for in their adventure, Dan
Cupid short four arrows true to the mark.
Plunkett possesses a ring, which Lionel presents
to the Queen and is restored to court as the
son of the Earl of Denby. Plunkett and Nancy
are reunited and they plot to -bring Lady Har-
riet and Lionel together, whom they know love
each other. At a re-enactment of the Richmond
fair, Lionel hears a sweet voice singing "Last
Rose of Summer." He recognizes the owner as
Lady Harriet, whom he knows as Martha, and
sweeps her into his arms.
MIGNON (Meen-yon). (Paris, 1866.) (Am-
broise Thomas.) Opera in three acts; text by
Barbier and Carre, based upon Goethe's "Wil-
helm Meister;" music by Ambroise Thomas.
First production, Paris, 1866; London, 1870;
New York, 1872.
The first act opens in the yard of a German
inn. A group of actors, including the beautiful
Filina, are on their way to the Prince's castle,
where they are to give a performance. A stroll-
ing band of gypsies arrives, and Mignon, who
is with them, is ordered to dance for the en-
tertainment of the guests. The girl is weary,
and on her refusal to dance, Giarno, the leader,
threatens her. Lothario tries to protect the
young girl, and Giarno turns upon the old man.
Wilhelm, a wandering student, appears and
rescues both Mignon and the harper, and to
save the girl from further persecution engages
her as his page. Wilhelm is invited by Filina
to join the troupe in their visit to the castle.
He consents, and the flirtation which follows
arouses the jealousy of Mignon, who, touched
by Wilhelm's kindness, has fallen in love with
him. In despair she is about to throw herself
into the lake when she hears the notes of Lo-
thario's harp. She asks his protection, and
rashly tells him she wishes the castle would
burn to the ground. The demented old man,
thinking only to please her, goes into the castle.
Filina and the actors appear, and Filina sends
Mignon to the castle for some flowers she has
left there. Suddenly flames burst from the win-
dows, and Wilhelm rushes to the burning build-
ing and carries out the unconscious Mignon.
Wilhelm is soon cured of his infatuation for
Filina and discovers Mignon's devoted attach-
ment for him.
The third act takes place in the palace of
Lothario, who has instinctively returned to his
ancestral home, bringing with him Mignon.
They are accompanied by Wilhelm, who now
realizes that he loves his youthful ward. The
young girl is soon discovered to be the long lost
child of Lothario, who suddenly recovers his
reason. Father and daughter are reunited, while
a blessing is bestowed on the young people by
the happy Lothario.

ORFEO ED EURIDICE (Or-feh-oh ayd Ay-
co-ree-dee-cheh). (Orpheus and Eurydice.)
(Vienna, October 5, 1762.) (Gluck.)
Book by Ramieri De Calzabigi; music by
Christoph Willibald von Gluck. First production
in Vienna, October 5, 1762, Gluck conducting.
First Paris production, 1774, when the role of
Orpheus was transposed for high tenor. First
London production at Covent Garden, June 26,
1770. Other revivals were during the Winter
Garden season of 1863; in 1885 (in German), by
the Metropolitan Opera under Walter Dam-
rosch ; the English production in 1886 by the
National Opera company; the Abbey revival in
Italian in 1892; and the Metropolitan production
of 1910, with Homer, Gadslu and Gluck.
The opera has had only one adequate Amer-
ican production previous to this Metropolitan
revival, and that was during the American
Opera company season of 1886 — the Abbey re-
vival of 1892 meeting with but indifferent suc-
cess.
This opera, which has been called "Gluck's
incomparable masterpiece," and of which the
great Fetis wrote, "it is one of the most beau-
tiful productions of genius," may be properly
termed a purely classical music drama. The
music is exquisite in its delicacy and grace,
while the story is an interesting and affecting
one. "Orpheus" may be called the grandfather
of grand opera, it being the oldest work of its
kind to hold its place on the stage, the first rep-
resentation occurring over one hundred and fifty
years ago.
The story concerns the Greek poet, Orpheus,
who grieves deeply over the death of his wife,
Euridice, and finally declares he will enter the
realms of Pluto and search for her among the
spirits of the departed. The goddess Love ap-
pears and promises to aid him, on condition
that when he has found Euridice he will return
to earth without once looking at her.
PAGLIACCI (The Players). (Pahl-yat-chee.)
Dramatic opera in two acts by Ruggiero Leon-
cavallo. First produced in Milan, 1892.
It opens with the world-famous "Prologue"
in which Tonio, the clown of the strolling play-
yers, parts the curtains and explains that the
play is taken from real life; reminds the audi-
ence that actors are but men with passions and
emotions like our own, and that the author has
tried to express the real feelings and sentiments
of the characters. The "Prologue" ends when
Tonio orders up the curtain.
The first act shows Canio and his band of
players returning from parading the village. He
announces that the performance will begin at
seven that evening and takes leave with Peppe
(the Harlequin). Tonio remains behind and
makes love to Canio's wife, Nedda, but she
scorns him, striking him with her whip for
which humiliation he swears to be revenged.
Silvio, a rich young villager, is also in love
with Nadda, and begs her to flee with him. She
refuses but vows that she loves him. This is
all overheard by the spurned Tonio, who imme-
diately tells Canio. Canio comes to kill Nedda 's
lover but arrives too late. He demands, how-
ever, that she tell him the name of her lover.
She refuses. They then prepare for the evening
performance.
In Act II the audience is assembled and the
play begins. A situation is then presented
which is very akin to the drama of actual life
which we have just recounted. Punchinello
(Canio) arrives and surprises the lovers (as
the playlet demands), then he loses his head
when he hears Columbine (Nedda) repeat the
very words he heard her say to her lover.
Columbine (Nedda) tries to save the situation
by continuing the play. The audience is de-
lighted with such "realistic acting." He again
demands the lover's name until Nedda, stung by
his taunts, defies him (Canio) and is stabbed by
him. She falls, calling for Silvio, who rushes to
the stage from the crowd, only to receive in
turn the dagger of the enraged husband.
As Canio stands stupified he drops the dagger
and cries, "The comedy is ended."
PEARL FISHERS— Pescatori di Perle (Paris,
1863). (Bizet.) (All sung in Italian unless
otherwise noted.)
This beautiful opera tells of the love of two
Cingalese pearl fishers for Leila, a priestess, and
of the generosity of the unsuccessful one, who
helps his rival and his love escape at the cost of
his own life. Nadir appears to Zurga, a lifelong
friend, during a dance of the pearl fishermen. A
mysterious veiled lady, who comes once a year
to pray for the fisheries, appears and begins her
invocation. Despite her veil, she is recognized
by Nadir and contrives to let him know that
his love is returned. She is reminded later, at
a temple, of her vow to renounce love and mar-
riage. The high priest, who reminds her that
the penalty is death, then leaves her alone, and
Nadir enters. The lovers are surprised by
Nourabad, the high priest, and Nadir flees. He
is recaptured, and Zurga is brought to pro-
nounce sentence upon the pair. Their funeral
pyre is ready when Zurga cries that the camp
is on fire; the lovers escape in the melee; Zurga
later confesses and is burned to death.
MIKADO (Gilbert and Sullivan). Light Opera
in two acts. Text by Gilbert. Music by Sul-
livan. First produced in London, 1885.
The scene is laid in Japan. Nankipoo, the
son of the Japanese Mikado, flees from an unde-
sirable marriage with Katisha. He falls in love
with Yum-Yum, the ward of Ko-Ko, who se-
cretly wishes to marry her himself. Because of
his ill-luck in this affair Nankipoo starts to kill
himself but is intercepted by Ko-Ko's execution-
ers. Later Nankipoo is the hero of a fake execu-
tion but is recognized by his father and Ko-Ko
is caught in his deception. The deceiving Ko-Ko
is then forced to marry Katisha, and Nankipoo
gets the girl of his heart.
RIGOLETTO (Ree-goh-let-toh). An opera in
three acts by the great Italian composer, Verdi.
First presented in Venice, 1851.
The story tells of the young profligate, the
Duke of Mantuna, who loves every girl whom
he meets. He is aided in his conquests by the
deformed jester, Rigoletto. Count Monterone,
father of one of the Duke's victims, meets
Rigoletto and hurls an awful father's curse upon
him, which affects him (Rigoletto) because of
his own daughter, Gilda. On his way home
Rigoletto meets the assassin, Sparafucile, who
offers to kill any enemy he may have. Rigoletto
sends him on his way but tells him that he may
use him later.
Later, Gilda (Rigoletto's daughter) falls in love
with the Duke and is abducted to his palace,
with the aid of Rigoletto, who is unaware that
it is his daughter.
When Rigoletto learns of what he has dont
and that he is too late to save his daughter, he
swears vengeance and arranges to have Spara-
fucile murder his master.
Sparafucile has his attractive sister Maddalena
lure the Duke to an old tavern. Maddalena,
however, falls in love with the Duke and induces
her father to murder a substitute. Gilda, who
has been taken to the Inn by her father to wit-
ness the Duke's "fickleness," overhears the plot
and determines to save the Duke at a sacrifice
of her own life.
SAMSON ET DALILAH (Sam-sohn-ay-Dah-
lee-lah). A biblical opera in three acts. By
Saint-Saens. First produced in Weimar in 1877.
Samson is the self-appointed leader of the
Hebrews, and after a great battle returns a
triumphant victor. His great power had won for
the Hebrews. Dalilah, a beautiful woman, came
with flowers to pay homage to the warrior and
Samson, unwillingly (because he had been warned
of her) fell madly in love with Dalilah.
Later, in her own home, Dalilah uses all her
charms to induce Samson to reveal the plans
of the Hebrews and when he refuses, she calls
for the Philistines, who overpower and capture
him. They chain him to a heavy mill which is
grinding corn for the Philistines and torture him.
Samson is taken before the High Priests, who
are celebrating their victory at a banquet in the
temple and is made sport of. He prays to God
for strength, is ans-wered and pulls the pillars
from beneath the roof. The Temple crashes down
amid shrieks and groans.
TANNHAUSER (Tahn-hoy-zer) (Wagner).
One of Richard Wagner's most notable music
dramas. In three acts. Words also by Wagner.
Tannhauser, a brave knight, has been under
the evil wiles of Venus, living a life of passion
and evil. He tires of such a sordid existence
and returns to his home. He is joyously wel-
comed by Elizabeth, whose love for him is pure
and holy.
There is to be a song tournament and the one
who wins is to have the hand of Elizabeth as
the prize. Tannhauser is urged to compete in
the contest, which is to be on individual com-
positions on "The Nature of Love." Because of
his recent experience with Venus, Tannhauser
renders a song of such a disgusting passionate
appeal that the Minstrels draw their swords to
slay him. He is saved, however, by Elizabeth,
who pleads for his life.
Tannhauser repents and realizes the greatness
of the higher love. He joins a band of pilgrims
and starts for Rome to ask forgiveness of the
Pope.
Elizabeth has been watching and waiting for
the return of Tannhauser, steadfast in her love,
but when she finds that he is not among the
band of Pilgrims which has passed, she passes
away.
Tannhauser appeals to the Pope for forgive-
ness but is told that it is impossible. He is
heart-broken and intends to return to Venus -
berg and Venus, but he meets his old friend,
Wolfram, and tells him of his intentions. Then
a band of Pilgrims is heard approaching. They
come with the good news that the Pope's staff
has blossomed and that Tannhauser was for-
given. Tannhauser kneels in prayer as the body
of his beloved Elizabeth is carried by. _,
TOSCA, LA (Toss-kah) (Puccini). An opera
in three acts based on Sardou's novel. Text by
Illica and Giacosa. Music by Giacomo Puccini.
First produced in Rome, 1900.
Mario Cavaradossi is in love with the beautiful
Tosca. Scarpia, the head of the police, has ma-
liciously imprisoned Mario when he is found to
be hiding a friend, a state fugitive. In the ab-
sence of Mario, Scarpia makes ardent love to
Tosca, and threatens to bring about the death
of Mario unless she gives herself to him. Be-
cause of her great love for Mario she consents
to this. Scarpia has told her there have been
orders issued to the soldiers to use blank cart-
ridges in their guns. He has, however, secretly
instructed them that genuine bullets be used.
Mario has been told, in the meantime, by Tosca,
who has stabbed Scarpia, of the plan and he is
to feign death after the firing.
When the execution takes place, Mario falls
to the ground and it is not until she calls for him
to arise does Tosca discover the terrible tragedy.
The body of Scarpia has been found and the
officials enter to arrest Tosca, who throws her-
self from the Castle Wall — to death.
TRAVIATA. Opera in three acts; libretto by
Piave, based upon Dumas' "Lady of the Camel-
ias"; music by Verdi. First presented in Venice,
1853.
Verdi's opera "Traviata," and Sarah Bern-
hardt's playing of "Camille," are the two famous
adaptions of Dumas' story. The story is simple,
but appealing. Violetta is one of the beautiful
and spoiled courtesans of Paris. Alfred, her lover,
after a long suit has at last persuaded Violetta
to give up her gay life and live with him in his
humble apartment. Alfred's father, whose aims
for his son are of another sort, comes to Violetta
and persuades her to release his son from the
marriage. Violetta unselfishly agrees, but be-
ing left alone seeks comfort in returning to her
former gay life. Alfred, who has been made to
believe Violetta untrue, goes to Paris and pub-
licly insults her. The heroine gallantly remains
by her promise to Alfred's father, and not until
too late does the young man discover the truth.
He seeks her again only to find her dying.
TROVATORE. Opera in four acts. Words by
Cammanaro; music by Verdi. First produced in
Rome, 1853.
Before the curtain rises on the first act, it is
necessary to know that, many years before, the
father of the present Count di Luna had burned
the mother of Azucena, an old gypsy, who in
revenge had stolen the young brother of the
Count, and at the opening of the story had
brought up Manrico as her own son, Manrico be-
ing quite unconscious1 of the plot of the gypsy.
As a Troubadour he has gained the love of Leo-
nora, also admired by the Count. In the first
act Manrico and the Count meet in a duel, their
paths having crossed on the way to Leonora. The
Count's life is generously spared by Manrico. In
the next act Manrico is seen in the gypsy camp
under the care of Azucena, recovering from a
wound. He hears that Leonora, whose affections
are in his favor, believing him dead, is about to
take the veil. Also he hears the Count intends
to abduct her. He hastens to the Convent in
time to rescue Leonora. One tragedy after
another darkens the third act. Manrico learns
that Azucena is in the power of the Count, con-
demned to be burned. Still believing her his
mother, he flies to the rescue and is in turn cap-
tured by the Count. The gloom is even darker in
the final act, where Leonora, to save Manrico.
agrees to wed the Count, but on the signing of
the order swallows poison. In retaliation the
Count orders Manrico to instant death, and only
learns, when too late, from Azucena that he has
killed his own brother.
ZAZA (Tsah-sah.) Opera in four acts. Libretto
and music by Ruggiero Leoncavallo. First pro-
duced in Milan in 1900.
Zaza, a concert singer loves Milio Dufresne but
discovers that Dufresne is wedded to another. She
tells him that she has discovered his deception
and also that she has told his wife of their in-
timacy.
This is untrue, but Dufresne curses Zaza and
kills her love for him.

Instruments in the Symphony
Now That You Have Heard Symphony Orchestras
Here Is Useful Information About Them
THE SYMPHONY: As applied to
instrumental music, we find from
the time of Peri (1600) that when-
ever the voices were silent for a time
and the orchestra played fragments by
itself, that these such portions were
called "Symphonies." Thus came into
vogue the "Symphonie" as we under-
stand it, a work for Orchestra alone, in
several movements (generally four),
these movements or parts being a more
or less stereotyped order of (a) quick,
(b) slow, (c) lively, and (d) quick. —
From E. M. Lee's "Story of Symphony."
Instruments of the Symphony
The String Instruments
THE VIOLIN. The violin, sometimes called
the "Queen of the Orchestra," is essentially a
melodic instrument, though it can be made very
effective when several are employed together for
the playing of sustained chords, properly divided
among them.
THE VIOLA. The tone character of the Viola
is sombre and withal, mysterious. It has great
charm when used in the middle register, but is
more or less at a disadvantage when employed
as a solo instrument. It is frequently used to
reinforce the 2nd Violins, especially in small or-
chestras, to obtain a proper balance of tone.
THE VIOLONCELLO. This instrument many
times is used to carry the melody of the com-
position, along with the 1st Violins, and also for
improving the tone-color or strength of the
Violas. Possessing many different tone contrasts
and qualities, having great carrying power, it
makes a splendid solo-instrument.
THE CONTRA-BASS OR DOUBLE-BASS.
The Double-Bass, so to speak, is the foundation
or "base" of the orchestra. It is useless as a
solo-instrument, since its long, heavy strings
cannot be made to respond quickly to bowing.
A poor bass section spoils an orchestra more
than any other defect.
The Wood Wind Instruments
THE PICCOLO. Essentially a solo instrument.
it is well adapted to illustrating the sounds of
Nature, as whistling winds, et cetera. It can be
used for bird-songs and as an interpreter of
moods, as the martial spirit and jocularity. It
is properly used only for these special effects
in the symphony orchestra.
THE FLUTE. The lower notes- of the Flute
are grave and mellow, with a suggestion of the
religious spirit; the middle register is soft and
dreamy, while the upper one is brilliant but
never shrill. The instrument bears some re-
semblence to the female voice and sometimes,
as in "Lakame," is used to alternate with it.
In the orchestra proper it is employed to re-
inforce the 1st Violins and for adding embellish-
ments or imitations of a preceding phrase.
THE OBOE. This instrument has an expres-
sive sadness and complaint, for its' tone-color
lias a nasal quality. Its tonal quality is more
penetrating than the Flute and Clarinet. It is
the least affected by changes of temperature of
all the wind instruments, and is, therefore, de-
pended upon for sounding the "A,"' or pitch, to
the orchestra.
THE ENGLISH HORN. This instrument has
many "f the tonal qualities peculiar to the Oboe.
lis lower register is very sonorous, yet has more
power than the Oboe. It is very well adapted
Id express sad or painful feelings or dramatic
' ions.
THE CLARINET. The Clarinet is an excellent
instrument, its three registers being quite
unlike each other, the lower one (Chalumeau)
being able to interpret sad, dramatic or religous
moods. The middle register reflects happy, joy-
ous and tender emotions, while its higher reg-
proclaims joy of a more boisterous char-
acter.
THE BASS-CLARINET. Anything written
for the ordinary Clarinet can be played upon the
' I Minding an octave lower), though
the nature of the instrument makes it best suited
for cantabile passages. Its- lower register is of
wonderful beauty.
THE BASSOON. The Bassoon is the bass of
of the wood-wind section. The Bassoon is cap-
able of rendering grave or mysterious effects,
or lamentation, and, also, can be easily adapted
to humorous situations and can become comical
in its depictions.
THE DOUBLE-BASSOON OR CONTRA-
BASSOON. It is the Double-Bass of the wood
wind section. It is best adapted for sustained
notes, its stupendously low B-flat being the
lowest tone in the orchestra.
The Brass Wind Instruments
THE FRENCH HORN. The French Horns
are the principal and central support of harmony
in the orchestra. They cannot be dispensed with.
In the complete, modern orchestra four such
instruments are employed. It can be made a
beautiful and expressive solo instrument. From
a distance the tones of the French Horn are al-
ways more distinct than those of any other in-
strument. It is a "tricky" instrument, and the
least mechanical of all the wind instruments.
THE TRUMPET. The tone of this instrument
blends well with the French Horn, though it has
aa more metallic quality than the latter. Its
character is essentially martial.
THE CORNET. The Cornet is a brilliantly
toned instrument, possessing an exceptionally
bright, metallic timbre. It is an important solo
instrument in this country. It is seldom em-
ployed in a full symphony orchestra, though
it is employed in Gounod's "Faust."
THE SLIDE-TROMBONE. This is a good
melodic instrument, yet handicapped by not being-
very flexible in its tone production. In this
country, while the instrument is the bass of
the brass section, it is also a valuable solo
instrument.
THE BASS-TUBA. It is the Double-Bass of
the brass section, is capable, with the aid of
Trombones, of producing a grandiose effect, and
can be imitated by the Double-Bass.
THE HARP. When used as an orchestral in-
strument, the Harp is best adapted for passage
work, arpeggi, glissandi, and large chords. Sim-
ple accompaniments written for the Piano may
be played fairly well upon the Harp. A Sym-
phony orchestra is not complete without a Harp,
and frequently several are employed.
Percussion Instruments
THE TIMPANI OR KETTLE-DRUMS. The
Timpani are used to accentuate the rhythm or
to give tonal as well as rhythmic emphasis
to the bass. There are generally two employed
in the orchestra, and modern scores have neces-
EDNA LEEDOM and Norman Pierce intro-
ducing Mr. Garglesong at WMCA, New
York. George Kelting harmonicrowing.
sitated the addition of one or two more in the
Symphony orchestra.
THE SNARE-DRUM. This Small or Side-
Drum is a military rhythmic instrument, and
its proper place is in the military band. Its
use in the orchestra should be restricted to the
compositions of a martial character, or to dance
music.
THE BASS-DRUM. Its principal use is in
accentuating the force of a climax. For dance
music, or in military marches, it is used for
practically every "down-beat." A good imita-
tion of a cannon shot can be obtained by its use,
and the distant echo well copied (light roll and
thump).
THE CYMBALS. They are usually employed
together with the Bass-Drum, but certain effects
can be obtained with one or more of the Cymbals
alone. One Cymbal, struck with a soft Kettle-
Drum stick produces the effect of a Tam-Tam.
Vigorously clashed together they well depict a
stroke of lightning.
THE TRIANGLE. Used for special effects,
sometimes with divided Violins, sometimes with
the wood winds.
THE BELLS OR GLOCKENSPIEL. Infre-
quently used, except for responses or answer to
a foregoing figure.
THE XYLOPHONE. Many showy soli have
been written for this instrument. Its use in
the Symphony orchestra is restricted to certain
characteristic effects.

Instrumentation.

World Celebrities Heard Over Radio
Improved Broadcasting Brings Stars to Microphone
to Give Their Best — Brief Biographies
TIMES have changed. Not so long
it would have been considered
practically an insult to have asked
one of the great opera or concert
stars to broadcast over the Radio. "The
idea! Radio is simply a boy's toy — an
electrical plaything to amuse the young-
sters of a scientific turn of mind." But
all that has been changed. No artist is
too rare and superior to "go on the air"
in these days. The greater they are the
more important it is that they should
cultivate their Radio audiences. Today
there are thousands familiar with the
works of the great stars where there ■
were only scores before.
Some of the most prominent celebrities
to be heard over the Radio are repre-
sented in the short biographical sketches
that follow.
ALDA, FRANCES, Soprano (Ahl-dah). Fran-
ces Alda's amazing versatility is one of the most
conspicuous of the many gifts bestowed upon
her by nature in a prodigal mood. A mere list
of the operas in which she has sustained leading
soprano roles would fill a paragraph. Since
making her debut in "Rigoletto" at the Paris
Opera Comique in 1904,' she has sung a great
number of exacting roles. As the wife of Giulio
Gatti-Casazza, general manager and impresario
of the Metropolitan Opera, she has long taken a
prominent place as a factor in American musical
affairs, and her vocal gifts have won her count-
less friends at the opera and on the concert
platform. Perhaps the fact that she was born
in Christchurch, New Zealand, has given her a
special sympathy with American musical aspira-
tions. Her voice is singularly fresh and sweet,
though capable of remarkable color -shading.
AMATO, PASQUALE, Baritone (Ah-mah-toh,
Pahs-kwahl-leh). Pasquale Amato was born in
Naples, and was not originally destined for a
musical career. After his voice developed under
the teaching of famous masters, however, it be-
came evident that he was destined for operatic
success. One of the most gifted baritones of the
day, he has achieved success not only in Italy,
but also in London and other European music
centers, as well as South America. He made
his debut with the Metropolitan Opera house in
New York, 1908, in "Traviata."
BACHUS, WILHELM, Pianist (Back-hus,
Vil-helm). Wilhelm Bachus has been touring
the world, as a concert pianist, at intervals since
1900, when, as a lad of sixteen, fresh from the
hands of Eugen d'Albert, he was recognized as
an artist of the foremost order — one of the few
who reach that goal of perfect artistry so many
strive for, and strive for vainly. He was born
at Leipzig, the home of so much of the world's
really great music. In 1905 he began teaching in
England, where he won the Rubinstein prize for
piano-playing. He made a notable tour of the
United States in 1912-14, and he has repeated
this with the highest kind of recognition vou-
chsafed the artist. His playing is characterized
by a brilliant, sound technic with a sutble and
delicate sense of tone-color, and a feeling for
the musical phrase like that of the poetic phrase
in words.
BAUER, HAROLD, Pianist (Bow-urr). Harold
Bauer is an artist of intellect fired with emotion.
He was born in England, but, as his name in-
dicates, of German, and of Welsh, descent.
When only ten years old, he made his debut, in
London, as a violinist, and he for nine years
toured Great Britain in this capacity. He then
met Paderewski, who strongly advised him to
study further, in Paris; and while teaching the
violin there, he studied and mastered the piano,
which he ever since has made his chosen instru-
ment of expression, and which he plays with an
art which admits of few rivals. He made his
debut as a pianist in 1893, and first appeared in
the United States in 1900. He has toured every-
where, has upheld the finest and most robust
ideals of music throughout the world, and now,
with mature life, has come into that place in
the art-life of the world which is given to but
very few.
BESANZONI, GABRIELLA. Garbriella Besan-
zoni is one of the great mezzo-contraltos of the
younger generation. She is by birth a Roman,
and it was in the Imperial City that she first
made her operatic debut at the Costanzi theater.
Her fame spread rapidly as she appeared at one
Italian opera house after another, including La
Scala at Milan. She appeared then with high
honors at the Reale of Madrid and the Liceo
of Barcelona. Her "Santuzza" in Italy was a
triumph, as was her "Carmen" in Spain, where,
as a rule, this opera had formerly been received
with coldness. South American and Mexican en-
gagements led to her coming to the United
States, where she was instantly engaged to sing
with the Metropolitan Opera company.
Signorina Besanzoni's voice is remarkable for
its range and beauty. She has mastered roles as
unlike as Amneris in "Aida," and Norma in the
opera of the same name.
BOHNEN, MICHAEL, Baritone, is the pos-
sessor of an unusually powerful, rich baritone
voice that is capable of negotiating the most
difficult operatic roles with that splendid bril-
liancy and ease which can be acquired only
through years of experience and performance.
Bohnen was born in Cologne, and first sang
in concert at the age of fifteen. From that
time his appearances were one success after
another.
His debut in opera was made in Dusseldorf
where he rapidly gained recognition and soon
became one of the leading members of the com-
pany. Then Count Von Hulsen, the intendant
of the Berlin Royal opera, heard of his sensa-
tional success and obtained his services for Ber-
lin. He has been a member of the Bayreuth
Festival since 1910, and was formerly the lead-
ing baritone in all the great Wagnerian parts
at Covent Garden,. London.
He is now a member of the Metropolitan
Opera company and of the Vienna Opera com-
pany.
BONELLI, RICHARD, Baritone, is the newest
of the young Americn musicians to have his
name written in capital letters for his successes
on the operatic stage. Now, in his second year
as a principal baritone of the Chicago Civic
Opera, Bonelli is one of the important members
of that great organization. For Bonelli has not
alone a remarkable voice, he possesses all the
other attributes necessary to operatic success —
confidence, intelligence, personality, musician-
ship and dramatic fire. The quality of Bonelli's
voice resembles more the Italin timbre than
that of the northern voice. It is rich, full, pow-
erful and sonorous, with warmth and range.
Bonelli comes by his musical talents naturally,
as several members of his family were accom-
plished musicians. He was born in Port Byron,
N. Y., and his younger days were spent in Syra-
cuse, where he went to the public schools and
later became a student of Syracuse university,
bent on a career of mechanical engineering.
Aside from his college studies, Bonelli took up
the study of music, and languages, which in-
terested him so greatly that he determined to
give up engineering.
After his graduation from college, Bonelli went
abroad to study with the great Jean de Reszke,
who told him that he had a great gift of dra-
matic instinct. The young American artist later
completed his studies in America and his debut
was made at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn
as "Valentine" in "Faust," in which opera he
scored a tremendous success in his first year
with the Chicago Opera. Returning to Europe,
he was engaged with the Monte Carlo Opera.
His sviccess was so notable here that Bonelli's
services were immediately in demand all over
Europe, and he subsequently appeared in im-
portant opera houses in Italy, Munich, Ham-
burg, Dresden, Berlin, Paris and Havana, Cuba,
in the leading baritone roles. Bonelli's first ap-
pearances with the Chicago Opera were made in
1925 and his success was instantaneous. Bonelli
has recently appeared with the Los Angeles and
San Francisco Opera companies and in concert.
BORI, LUCREZIA, Soprano (Boh-ree). Lu-
crezia Bori's real name is Lucrezia Borgia (or
Boria, in Spanish), but she prefers to be known
as Bori. Though of Italian descent, she is a
native of Valencia, Spain. Permited to follow
her obvious destiny as a singer, she went to
Milan for study, and eventually made her debut
in Rome as Micaela in "Carmen." Her first
season was very successful, and she followed it
up with success in South America. After another
European season she was engaged for the Metro-
politan Opera company in New York. The
memory of her success at our leading opera
house is still fresh in the minds of music-lovers,
and she needs little further introduction. She
is one of the youngest singers ever heard in
opera in this country, and her youth and beauty,
together with her lovely voice and dramatic
ability, make her unique.
CASALS, PABLO, Violoncellist (Kah-sahls,
Pahb-loh). Pablo Casals is such a recognized
master of the violoncello, that it is common
knowledge that whenever he visits a city, its
orchestras are likely to be bare of cellists, as
they all flock to hear him play. This great
artist was born in Vendrell, near Barcelona,
Spain, in 1876. He was the son of an organist,
from whom he learned to play the violin, flute
and piano. At twelve he took up the 'cello,
began to win prizes, and in a year or two he
began his concert career, which has brought him
the highest honors that may come to an artist,
including the profound admiration and respect
of those of his own craft. His playing is al-
most unbelievably smooth, finished and elegant.
CHALIAPIN, FEODOR, Bass (Shal-yah-pin,
Fed-or). This remarkable Russian basso is not
simply a singer but an artist; not merely a per-
sonality but a man. Being such, he has had not
a "career," but a life. He was born at Kazan,
Russia, in 1873. At 7 he was a cobbler's ap-
prentice; he became wood-carver, book-binder,
pawn-broker's clerk, novice in a monastery of
the Russian church, and longshoreman on the
Volga at 17 cents a day. At 17 he was in
comic opera at $6 a week — machinist, prompter,
stage manager, singer, all in one. Not long
afterwards he was singing in Moscow at $6,000
a year. He upset all stage tradition, expanding,
not breaking, rules. In Boito's "Mefistofele"
he appears with the upper half of his body nude
and covered with luminous paint.
CHAMLEE, MARIO, tenor, is an American
artist, born in Los Angeles, California. He is
one of the youngest of the great artists of today
and his musical career has been a rather phe-
nomenal one, inasmuch as he leaped to fame in
an amazingly short time.
While a student at the University of Cali-
fornia, Chamlee first demonstrated his great
vocal ability in a college musical show. He
studied under Alberti of Los Angeles. Then his
unusual career began. Each appearance seemed
to push him further up the ladder of musical
fame until now he is recognized as one of the
world's greatest living tenors.
His operatic .debut was made as ' 'Mario
Cavaradossi" in "Tosca," with the Metropolitan
Opera company of New York City, and has been
a member of this famous organization ever since,
and his popularity is ever increasing.
Mario Chamlee's voice is alive with youth,
personality and power such as is found in only
a few great artists. His great number of ad-
mirers is increasing at a rapid rate through his
splendid recordings on Brunswick records.
As a foremost member of the New Hall of
Fame, Chamlee has achieved a most enviable
position.
COATES, ALBERT, Conductor and Sym-
phony Orchestra. Albert Coates. despite his
English name, is of Russian birth, although of
mixed English and Russian parentage. He has
conducted and trained orchestras in almost
every country, it would seem, in which the sym-
phony orchestra is known as a type of musical
organization. A student of Nikisch's, he began
conducting in public at Leipzig itself; thence
took charge of various operas throughout
Europe. In 1911 he became chief conductor of
the old Imperial Opera; later he went to England,
and then came to the United States as guest
conductor, later as conductor of the Rochester
Philharmonic orchestra. He is a composer of
pronounced ability; a musician of profound
68
RADIO DIGES T — Illustrated
knowledge, and a conductor of splendid mascu-
line personality.
DALMORES, CHARLES, Tenor (Dahl-moh-
ress). Mr. Dalmores has made a splendid suc-
cess in America, and has proven one of the best
French tenors heard in many years.
Charles Delmores was born at Nancy, France,
in 1872, and made his debut at Rouen in 1899
with such success that he was engaged for the
Brussels Opera, and his Brussels triumphs were
repeated at Covent Garden, where he sang with
Calve in "Carmen," and with Melba in "Faust."
He was brought to the U. S. in 1906 by Oscar
Hammerstein, and his successes at the Manhat-
tan in Don Jose, Hoffmann and other roles are
well remembered.
D'ALVAREZ, MARGUERITE, Contralto
(Dahl-vahr-ayz). Marguerite d'Alvarez, con-
tralto, comes from the ancient Inca city of
Cuzco, in Peru, which even the Indians of today
salute with a brief invocation whenever they
come in sight of it. She made her European
operatic debut as a young girl. She since has
sung in the chief opera houses of the world. An
artist of strong personality, who gives her own
individual stamp to everything she undertakes,
d'Alvarez has become something more than a
favorite with American audiences. She is a
writer as well as a singer; a circumstance of
enormous help in considering creatively, her very
numerous operatic roles.
DAL MONTE, TOTI, Soprano (Dahl Mon-
teh, Toh-tee). Toti Dal Monte is a name which
is borne by one of the greatest coloratura so-
pranos ever sent here from Italy, the home of
song. She is a Venetian, the daughter of Pro-
fessor Amilcare Dal Monte, a distinguished man
of letters, and, like Galli-Curci, she originally
intended piano study. While yet at school, she
strained a hand practicing, and thus put an end
to hope in that direction. Her father took her
to Barbara Marchisio, famous teacher, then liv-
ing in retirement, for whom she sang, in a lit-
tle-girl voice, the Jewel Song from "Faust."
Marchisio became literally her guardian angel;
and in 1916 she made her debut, at La Scala, in
Milan. Since then she has sung in Europe,
South America and Australia, recognized and
acclaimed everywhere, and with justice, as one
of the greatest of coloratura sopranos.
DANISE, GIUSEPPE, Baritone, is of Italian
descent and studied under Colonnesi in the con-
servatory of Naples. He has sung in the great
opera houses of Europe, South America and the
United States, appearing for two years at the
La Scala Opera house in Milan, Italy, where he
endeared himself to all who heard him.
When he came to America he aroused the ad-
miration of New York's critics through his first
appearance with the Metropolitan Opera com-
pany. Since that time he has been an outstand-
ing figure in the musical world.
DE LUCA, GIUSEPPE, Britone. Giuseppe de
Luca is one of the most distinguished members
of the Metropolitan Opera company, and no artist
has more successfully proven his right to a place
of distinction than this young Italian baritone.
A Roman by birth, at the age of thirteen his
talent for singing was brought to the attention
of Bartolini, the famous baritone and teacher.
The boy then showed indications of musical feel-
ing in marked degree, and his voice at that time
was of the distinctly baritone quality. Fearing
a possible change in the voice, it was not until
viint (wo years later that de Luca entered the
Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome, where
he studied for five years before making his
debut in "Faust." He spent eight winter sea-
sons in the famous La Scala and has appeared
with most significant success in all the consid-
erable capitals of Europe.
Mr. de Luca's American debut was made as
I igaro in the "Barber of Seville" at the Metro-
politan Opera house, November 25, 1915, when
he won instant favor with press and public
alike.
DUX, CLAIRE, Soprano, was born in Poland
but her ancestry represents several nationalities.
Her parents were musical and she began to sing
i child, At the age of twelve she made her
public appearance as "Gretel" in a school
station of "Hansel and Gretel."
Afler a few years of study, she made her
debut in Germany and since that time has been
one o( the leading sopranos with almost all of
great opera companies of the world. She
her debut at the Royal Opera in Berlin,
and anfi leading roles at I. a Scala in .Milan.
Subsequently, Dux sang at Covenl Garden,
! I gained thi incere praise and
admiration of her fellow artists as well as of the
Alt' i singing at the Royal Operas in
Stockholm and Copenhagen, she came to Amer-
ica and joined the Chicago Civic Opera Associa-
tion. Here she won additional fame and her
subsequent tours in concert have made her one
of the greatest sopranos of today.
EASTON, FLORENCE, Soprano, was born
in Middleboro, England. At the age of five she
moved with her family to Toronto, Canada,
where she started the study of music a year
later.
Miss Easton later returned to England and
took up the study of voice at the London Royal
Academy of Music, later going to Paris to con-
tinue her vocal work. She made her debut at
Covent Garden, London, and then came to the
United States to sing with the Henry W. Sav-
age Company. Her success here gained for her
an engagement with the Berlin Opera.
Following this, Easton went to Londori to cre-
ate the leading soprano role in the Ricordi prize
opera, "The Angelus." Again, she returned to
the United States to sing the leading dramatic
roles with the Chicago Opera Association and
later joining the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Since then, her career as a portrayer of leading
soprano roles at the Metropolitan has been most
successful.
ELMAN, MISCHA, Violinist. Though he has
lived for some years in America, and has come
to be regarded as one of our own, Mischa Elman
was born in South Russia, and owed his musi-
cal education to the accident that the great
teacher, Leopold Auer, while on tour, heard him
play. Owing to racial difficulties, a special per-
mit from the Czar had to be obtained to get
Elman and his family out of Moscow and into
Petrograd. Once there, however, he made aston-
ishing progress. Overwhelming success in the
Russian capital was followed by equally astound-
ing results in London and eventually in Russia.
Among violinists the "Elman tone" is spoken
of almost with bated breath, as of a thing apart
from ordinary experience. It has a fullness of
volume, a sensuous richness of quality that make
it unique, and it is used with extraordinary
nicety of technique and a musicianly under-
standing.
FARRAR, GERALDINE, Soprano (Fay-rah).
Few artists are so dear to the heart of the
American public as Geraldine Farrar. Her won-
derful voice, her histrionic gifts, her personal
beauty, count for much, but above all her cour-
age, her spirit and enterprise, are peculiarly
appealing to the American point of view. She
was born in Melrose, Mass., and began her musi-
cal studies at the age of twelve, under Miss
Long, of Boston. Later she studied with Emma
Thursby in New York, at the same time learn-
ing dramatic action from Capoul. In 1899 she
went to Paris to study with Trabadello, but being
desirous of achieving the highest development
wisely went to Mme. Lilli Lehmann. Operatic
successes in Europe of the most brilliant kind
made her engagement by the Metropolitan in-
evitable. Among American music-lovers, espe-
cially opera-goers, the name of Geraldine Farrar
has become a household word. The number of
roles she has successfully created is astonishing,
and to every one she has brought the same care,
the same intelligence, the same superb artistry.
More especially, perhaps, we think of her as
Tosca, as Carmen, Marguerite, or Madame But-
terfly, but to these may be added Mimi, (an
unforgetable achievement), Zerlina, Juliet, Cheru-
birio, Gilda, Violetta, Nedda and many others.
Nor can we omit reference to the charm with
which she sings the old American and other folk
songs, and established favorites of the concert
room.
FLETA, MIGUEL, Tenor (Flet-ah, Mig-ell).
Miguel Fleta, who made his Metropolitan debut
during the season of 1922-23, is of Spanish birth.
Almost by accident it was discovered he could
sing — when a disciple of the famous singer Manuel
Azo heard him and offered instruction. He studied
in Barcelona, but made his debut in Trieste, pass-
ing thence to Rome, Bologna, Milan, Vienna,
Madrid, and the Colon at Buenos Aires. When
he first sang in Madrid, he was recognized as one
of the greatest of Spanish tenors. He has been
chosen to create important roles by modern com-
posers. Fleta's voice is a pure fresh tenor, clear
and bell-like in quality, and he especially delights
in music and in musical phrases which exhibit his
unusual power of coloring a single long note. This,
however, is only one detail of many.
GABRILOWITSCH, OSSIP, Pianist (Ga-bril-
lov-vitch, Ohs-sip). Ossip Gabrilowitsch is one of
the greatest living tone-poets of the piano. Com-
poser, virtuoso and orchestral conductor, his is
one of the most significant names in contemporary
music. In listening to his several records one is
impressed by the feeling that every individual
ton. has its own special and separate life, — and
yet how marvelously each is fused into an organic
whole like a separate cell into its parent organism!
Gabrilowitsch is of Russian birth, and he studied
with Liadow, Glazounow, Leschetitzky and Nav-
ratil, — all of them geniuses. Concertizing, touring,
composing, working quietly but incessantly since
his debut at Berlin in 1896, he several years ago
was called to the conductorship of the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra.
GALLI-CURCI, AMELITA, Soprano (Gal-lee
Koor-chee, Ah-may-lee-tah). Galli-Curci first
came to the United States unheralded. Her debut
with the Chicago Opera Company in November,
1916, however, was such a triumph as has rarely
been experienced in recent times. As soon as her
operatic engagements permitted she visited other
important music centres in America, where sim-
ilar fortune awaited her. Not until January, 1918,
did she make her formal debut in opera in New
York. Her singing at once created the wildest
enthusiasm, and her conquest of the United States
was complete. Galli-Curci is an Italian by birth
and training, but is something of a cosmopolitan
by nature. Her voice is one that haunts the
memory; wonderfully pure in quality, amazingly
flexible, and of even quality throughout its entire
wide compass.
GARDEN, MARY, Soprano. Mary Garden is
a unique figure in music. Singer, actress, critic,
manager, there is no phase of operatic art which
she has not conquered and made her own. She
was born in Scotland, coming to the United States
as a child. When only twelve, she played the
violin in public. A few years later she went to
Paris to study singing; and when Charpentier's
"Louise" was first put on at the Opera Comique,
she substituted in the third act. Paris went wild
and she was compelled to sing the role for 100
successive nights. She has created many famous
operatic roles, and many an opera has been writ-
ten with the image of Mary Garden in the brain
of the composer.
GIANNINI, DUSOLINA, Soprano (Jahnee-nee,
Doo-so-lee-nah). Dusolina Giannini is an Amer-
ican soprano who startled conservative London
into placing her with the greatest recent names in
song. She was born in Philadelphia, and as the
daughter of Ferruccio Giannini, a distinguished
tenor who made some records in the very early
days of the Victor, she comes honestly by her fine
natural powers. Though, like very perfectly
trained singer, she can "sing everything," some of
her loveliest achievements have been in the
domain of pure lyric song — in simple legato mel-
odies of the type where the utmost correctness of
intonation is the very first demand upon the
artist. A woman of gentle and winning per-
sonality, of almost Olympian simplicity and
dignity of presence, she steps by natural right
into the company of the great.
GIGLI, BENIAMINO, Tenor (Jeel-yee, Ben-
yah-mee-noh). Beniamino Gigli is of Italian birth
and training, and by right of those things is
fitted to carry on the great traditions of the art
of bel canto. Coming to the United States almost
unknown, he was engaged practically offhand, by
the Metropolitan Opera Company, for which he
sang a number of important roles.
Gigli was born at Recanati in Italy, March 20,
1890. His musical studies began in childhood. His
father was sexton of the largest church in his
native town, and for ten years the boy sang in its
choir, soon rising to be chief soloist. His voice
attracted crowds, even then. He was sent to the
Conservatory at Rome, where he studied under
Rosati, and his operatic debut was made at
Rovigo, in 1914, in La Gioconda. His success was
instant. He soon became one of the most cele-
brated Italian tenors of the day.
GLUCK, ALMA, Soprano (Glook). Although
born in Bucharest, Roumania, Mme. Gluck is
essentially American, as she came to this country
at the age of six, and most of her musical educa-
tion was received here. The public knew very
little of this fine artist until one morning, several
years ago, when, after making her first appearance
as Sophie in "Werther" at the New Theatre, she
awoke to find herself famous. After several sea-
sons at the Metropolitan, Alma Gluck entered the
concert field, in which she has made a phenomenal
success. There are few singers today who can
turn so readily from the heavier operatic arias to
to the simple songs which find an echo in every
heart, and it would be difficult to say in which
province this brilliant artist is best appreciated.
Her concert seasons have been among the most
successful ever enjoyed by any singer.
GODOWSKY, LEOPOLD, Pianist, was born in
the ancient town of Vilna, in the Lithuanian
province of Russian Poland. From early child-
hood he showed an extraordinary aptitude for
music, making his first public appearance at the
age of nine at a concert in his native town. Four
years later, he was enrolled at the Berlin-Hoch-
RADIO DIGES T — Illustrat
69
schule, and soon afterwards the young pianist left
for America.
Godowsky toured in concerts for two years and
later returned to Europe to study under Liszt at
Weimar. This, his greatest ambition, was never
realized, for Liszt had died before Godowsky
reached him. He studied under Saint-Saens, the
great composer, but the latter's restless nature
and incessant activities made continuous work
impossible, and Godowsky became practically his
own teacher. That he was his best instructor,
time and his great reputation today have proven.
A master pianist of singular depth, celebrated
for his wondrous and perfect technique, Godowsky
is a thorough musician and the composer of
several fine compositions.
GORDON, JEANNE, Contralto. Jeanne Gor-
don, contralto, is one of the growing family of
New World singers who have not found it neces-
sary either to study, or to seek first critical
approval, abroad. She was born in Canada, and
took up the study of music under Dr. Albert Ham,
of Toronto. Her first public appearances were in
New York film theatres. She then went to the
Metropolitan Opera Company, the great goal of
all singers in America, singing with it for nine
seasons and going thence into the still larger field
oi concert work. Her voice is of lovely rich
quality, and she employs it with great skill and
expressiveness.
GRAINGER, PERCY, Pianist-Composer, has
been called "The Playboy of the Musical World"
and in his playing there is certainly a buoyant,
joyous virility entirely his own. Grainger is an
"outdoor" man, keenly athletic and actually took
muscular rhythmic exercise from Muldoon to
develop the surety and strength necessary for his
dynamic playing. Grainger was born in Australia,
his mother was his first instructor and his first
London appearance, at the age of ten, secured
his fame. In 1906 Grieg heard Grainger play and
so admired the young man and his art that he
asked him to spend the summer with him. Just
before his death Grieg had selected Grainger to
play his concerto under bis own conductorship at
the Leeds festival. During the war Grainger
became a naturalized American and entered the
service of our country. In camp as on the concert
stage the pianist was a favorite. Grainger's
American concert seasons during the last few
years and his appearances with the various Sym-
phony Orchestras have always been sensational.
HACKETT, CHARLES, Tenor. One of the
greatest achievements of all musical history is the
sweeping, meteoric rise of "Charlie" Hackett
through the most varied international career ever
accorded an American tenor to the secured fame
of a leading star of the great Metropolitan Opera.
Mr. Hackett studied music as a boy in Wor-
cester, Mass. He went abroad at twenty, made
his first sensation in Florence and established
himself with incredible swiftness in Italy's fore-
most Opera Houses. In Buenos Aires, where mus-
ical discrimination is cultivated to the highest
point, Hackett swept all before him.
Northward to the Metropolitan, in 1919, was
Hackett's next step, where, in one of the most
florid and faultless interpretations of the tenor
role of II Barbiere di Siviglia ever heard from the
famous boards, Hackett was acclaimed by musi-
cians and music lovers, artists, impressarios,
singers and critics — "a tenor in a class by him-
self 1"
HEIFETZ, JASCHA, Violinist (High-fetz,
Yahsh-ah). To few it is given while still on the
threshold of life to achieve the success which
comes ordinarily — if it comes at all — only after
maturity and experience. Yet that is what Jascha
Heifetz accomplished. He commenced playing the
violin at three, completed the course at the Royal
Music School in Vilna, Poland, at the age of
seven, and, after study with Professor Leopold
Auer in Petrograd, was a mature artist at the age
oi ten. His tour through Russia was a triumph ;
the keenest critics of Europe had nothing but
praise for him. And after a leisurely trip from
Russia to the United States, by way of Yladi-
vostock and California, he swiftly conquered
America. Though his years can be counted, the
measure of his genius knows no bounds. His
technique is flawless; the intonation is perfect,
the quality of tone superb and utterly individual,
complete mastery over bow and violin having been
vouchsafed him in childhood by a Nature bent
upon a perfect model.
HOFMANN, JOSEF, Pianist, was born in
Cracow, Poland, in 1877, of musical parents. His
father was a professor at the Warsaw Conserva-
tory and conductor of the Warsaw opera, and his
mother was a distinguished singer. After studying
the piano with his father until 1892, Josef Hof-
mann spent two years as a pupil of Anton Rubin-
stein, who predicted a brilliant career for the
young boy — a prophecy which has been mar-
velously fulfilled. As a boy prodigy, Hofmann was
a sensation in the musical world, and when, after
retirement for study, he emerged in 1894 to make
his debut in Dresden, he had gained strength,
maturity and a more solid musicianship. Again,
he toured Europe and America, coming to the
United States in 1898, and making his home in
Aiken, South Carolina. Today, Hofmann is con-
sidered among the greatest pianists now before
the public. He has no superior in technical mas-
tery of his instrument, interpretative power and
in musicianship. He is also a composer, inventor
and an American citizen.
HOMER, LOUISE, Contralto. The popular
American contralto comes from Pittsburgh, Pa.,
where she was Louise Delworth Beatty, daughter
of a well-known clergyman. She is now the wife
of Sidney Homer, American composer and one of
her earlier teachers, known as the composer of
many fine and original songs. Louise Homer laid
the foundations of her musical education in the
United States, with Alice Groff in Philadelphia,
and with W. L. Whitney. Her unusual talent was
recognized by George W. Chadwick and Arthur
Foote, who with her husband, then in Boston,
encouraged her to study and advised her to seek
the operatic stage. Taking this advice she went
abroad, and two years in Paris atmosphere and
training accomplished wonders for her voice and
her stage experience. She made her debut as
Leonara in "Favorita" in 1898.
JERITZA, MARIA, Soprano (Yeh-ritzah, Mah-
ree-ah). Maria Jeritza is in private life the
Baroness Popper. She is of Moravian birth,
having been born in the little town of Brun. Her
debut was at Almitz, and she came thence to
Vienna in 1912. The Metropolitan forces had her
in mind for New York as early as 1914, but the
war interrupted all, and her debut here did not
take place until 1921, when she sang in Erich
Korngold's "Dead City," in New York, in its
first American presentation. Mme. Jeritza has
a fine large voice, a commanding presence, and
dramatic powers of a high order, especially fitting
her for the roles of the Northern opera — though
indeed she sings with facility, and with splendid
intelligence, in those of the Italian and French
schools. She is an artist who still is young, whose
sympathies are keen, vivid and inclusive, and
whose work will probably grow even richer and
finer as years advance.
JOURNET, MARCEL, Bass (Zhoor-nay). Jour-
net was born at Nice, France. He studied under
Seghettini and made his debut at Bezieres.
Belgium, in 1891, where M. Calabresi, manager of
the Brussels La Monnaie, heard him and promptly
engaged him for three years. In 1897 he made his
first appearance in London and has since been a
prime favorite there.
Journet is possessed of a magnificent voice, full
and resonant, and has a fine stage presence. He
is perfectly at home in an unusually varied
repertoire, speaking the languages as a native.
His records cover a great range of compositions,
from the splendid rolling bass numbers of the
great operas to the patriotic and popular songs
of various countries.
This sterling artist is well known to opera-goers
in America, as he was a member of the Metro-
politan Opera Company for many years. In 1908
M. Journet was engaged by the Paris Opera, and
has since been one of the important members of
that great company, returning to America only at
intervals.
JOHNSON, EDWARD, Tenor. Edward John-
son, the great Canadian tenor, is one of the great-
est operatic artists developed within recent years.
As with so many singers born in the New World,
his first triumphs came to him in Italy. He was a
born singer. He began as a choir boy in New-
York, passed thence into comic opera, then went
abroad, translated his name into Italian, and, as
"Edoardo di Giovanni," toured Europe for seven
years. He created a number of important roles,
including those in "II Tabarro" and "Gianni
Schicchi," and he first introduced Wagnerian roles
into a number of Italian cities. In July, 1920, King
Victor Emanuel II conferred upon him the Cross
of Officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy. Mr.
Johnson's reappearance in the New World, last
season with the Chicago Opera Company, was one
of the events of the musical year. His voice is
fine, fresh, powerful and with a certain quality
altogether its own.
KREISLER, FRITZ, Violinist, (Krice-Ier).
Kreisler was born in 1875, the son of a distin-
guished physician and musical amateur. He was
a healthy and sane boy, full of life, who at first
thought nothing of his natural powers, and who
would rather be a "trolley conductor" than a
violinist.
At the age of ten young Fritz won the first
prize at the Vienna Conservatory; and in his
twelfth year astonished the professors at the
Conservatoire in Paris by winning the Prix de
Rome, an unprecedented occurrence. As a boy
prodigy, he toured America with Rosenthal, re-
turning to Austria to enter other fields. Although
during these four years he abandoned violin prac-
tice entirely, on his reappearance in 1899 his bow
was as true and his technique as flawless as ever.
Since then he had toured and concertized, inter-
preting in the terms of his own experience all that
has come within the range of his genial, broad,
and sympathetic mind.
LASHANSKA, HULDA, Soprano (Lah-shan-
skah). Hulda Lashanska possesses that rare gift,
a pure lyric soprano voice, developed to the
utmost fluency by coloratura training. She is an
American, born in New York City, and reared
among surroundings conducive to her artistic
development. At eighteen she was a pianist of
enviable powers. Then her voice was discovered.
She studied with Frieda Ashforth and with Mar-
cella Sembrich, and was encouraged, in moments
of self-doubt, by Sophie Braslau. She has ap-
peared with practically every symphony organiza-
tion of importance in the United States since her
debut in New York under Walter Damrosch. She
sings with rare evenness, self-possession, and with
quite extraordinary beauty of tone.
LAUDER, SIR HARRY, Comedian (Law-der).
Sir Harry Lauder began life as a miner. He
lightened the labors of his fellows by singing to
them, at odd times, his now world-famous songs
of humor and sentiment. He sought the music-
halls of London; at first was received coldly, but
in a short while was singing at three or four
every night, being whirled from one to the other
in taxicabs. It has been said of him that in
national crises, he possibly did more than any
single individual to raise the spirits of London;
his appearance anywhere was the signal for
laughter and cheers. The World War, which
brought him the loss of his only son, brought also
the honor of knighthood.
LAZARO, HIPPOLITO, Tenor (Lah-thah-roh).
This promising young tenor, who is a native of
Spain, has made considerable success in Europe
and South America, and recently appeared at the
Metropolitan Opera House. However, it was not
necessary to wait for his actual appearance here,
as the Victor had already made some records of
his voice. In the recording of this singer the
Victor has followed its usual policy of endeavoring
to exhibit the beauty of the voice rather than its
extreme power, and the records are therefore
doubly attractive ones.
LEWIS, MARY, Soprano. Mary Lewis was
born in Arkansas. Step-child of a Methodist
minister, when eight years old she sang in the
local choir. Ten years later she virtually "ran
away" with a theatrical troupe that stranded on
the Pacific Coast. She became a "bathing beauty,"
then a cabaret singer in Greenwich Village, then,
by virtue of her unusual voice and beautiful
presence, won first place in the "Follies." Her
ambitions, however, were made of sterner stuff
than so often goes to the uplifting of Follies celeb-
rity, and she went abroad to study singing. She
won a place in smaller operatic companies, then
came back to America for a Metropolitan debut.
Applauded, recognized and accepted, she there
came into her true and high place among the
singers of the New World.
MACBETH, FLORENCE, Soprano. The King
and Queen of England were in their box when
little "Flossie" Macbeth of Mankato, Minnesota,
aged nineteen, was making her debut in London.
As a tribute the Queen threw her bouquet toward
the stage and Florence Macbeth, who had played
many a game of baseball with the boys back
home, caught it and fame in a single night.
Florence Macbeth, the American coloratura so-
prano, is known as the "Minnesota Nightingale."
Many a critic has said of her, "Another Patti,
flawless in tone from lower G to F sharp in alt."
Miss Macbeth has a brilliant, clear, even range
through three octaves. Her professional debut
was made in Holland in 1912, followed by appear-
ances in London, Dresden, Liverpool and Man-
chester. In 1914 Miss Macbeth joined the Chicago
Opera Company forces and since that time has
appeared with that Company and in concerts
throughout America.
MARTINELLI, GIOVANNI, Tenor. This bril-
liant singer has made a notable success at the
Metropolitan, and is one of the best Italian tenors
ever heard in America. He was born in Mon-
tagnana. His father, a cabinetmaker, was not
able to give his son a musical education, but he
managed to learn the clarinet and finally joined
the regimental band, where the director discovered
the young player's remarkable voice. He was sent
to Professor Mandolini, and soon made iiis debut
at the Dal Yerme as Ernani. A Covent Garden
engagement soon followed, and as America even-
tually gets the best singers, Martinelli soon came
to the Metropolitan.
MASON, EDITH, Soprano. The soprano voice
of Edith Mason, of the Chicago Civic Opera, has
70
RADIO DIGES T — Illustrated
no superior, and few equals, among the lyric
voices of the day. High, brilliant, flexible, her
voice has the shimmering quality which makes it
seem, at times, to float. And with such a voice,
combined with keen musical intelligence, Mme.
Mason has gone far in the fields of concert and
opera.
Edith Mason was born in St. Louis, and attended
the Ogontz and the Miss White schools in Phila-
delphia. This training was supplemented with
courses at the National Cathedral School of
Washington, D. C, and with collegiate work at
Bryn Mawr. During this period, every obstacle
that could possibly restrain a gifted and am-
bitious young woman from planning and preparing
for a professional career, was brought to influence
the naturally susceptible "sub-deb," whose mother
strenuously opposed the exploitation of her daugh-
ter's talent, while the young woman let no
opportunity slip which gave her a chance to
exercise the same.
Mme. Mason, who in private life, is the wife
of Giorgio Polacco, the distinguished musical di-
rector of the Chicago Civic Opera, has appeared
with the Metropolitan and Ravinia Park Opera
Companies, at the famous La Scala in Milan and
other European Opera houses. She is equally at
home in concert and has appeared extensively in
this field.
MATZENAUER, MARGARETE, Mezzo-So-
prano (Maht-zen-ourK Mme. Matzenauer made
her American debut as Amneris in "Aida," soon
afterward attaining other successes. She has im-
pressed lovers of Italian opera as well as German
with her splendid voice, her musical intelligence
and her dramatic power. The artist was born in
Hungary. She made her debut in 1901, in Stras-
burg, in Weber's "Oberon." After some years in
continental Europe, she came to the United States,
where she sang for some years with the Metro-
politan Opera Company. She has sung at the
Wagner festivals in Bayreuth. Her roles are
very numerous, and they include all schools of
opera. Her voice, generally characterized as a
"mezzo-soprano," is of great range, and she has
sung soprano roles with ease. She has received
medals and orders from various European coun-
tries. She has made many concert tours in both
the Old and the New Worlds, where she is equally
well known.
McCORMACK, JOHN, Tenor. Born in Athlone,
Ireland, John McCormack early learned to sing
the songs of his native land, but he had no
reason to suspect that the voice he loved to use
was exceptional. Induced to compete at the Dublin
Musical Festival, however, he met with such suc-
cess as enabled him, with the proceeds of a few
other concerts, to go to Italy to study. After a
successful debut, followed with numerous other
operatic appearances in Italy, he was engaged for
Covent Garden, London, on October 15,. 1907. His
succeeding triumphs in America are well within
memory. He has traveled the length and breadth
of the land, and is everywhere received with
tumultuous enthusiasm. Now an American citizen,
John McCormack has come to be something of an
"institution" in America, and he undoubtedly
interprets in song the heart of the American
people in a way peculiarly his own. Gifted with
a voice of superb beauty, he can turn lightly from
the most exacting of operatic airs to simple,
haunting melodies that linger in the memory with
the most treasured experiences of a lifetime.
MELBA, DAME NELLIE, Soprano. No prima
donna of the present day has ever been more
beloved in three continents than has this Aus-
tralian artist.
Melba was born at Burnley, near Melbourne,
Australia. Her father was a Scotch contractor
who had been in Australia some years. He was
proud of his daughter's musical talent, but ob-
jected to her following it as a profession, and it
was not until her marriage to Captain Charles
Armstrong that she finally decided on a musical
career, The singer went to Europe in 1886, and
began to study under Mine. Marches!, making
Mich rapid progress thai her debut was made in
Brussels in 1887 under the name of Melba (de-
rived, of course, from her native city), and her
was immediate.
In England, where she sang in opera in 192.?,
she received the title of Dame, the most recent of
distinctions conferred upon women of intellect.
Her formal retirement( a year or two later, was
a national ei ent,
MELIUS, LUELLA, Soprano (May-lee-us, Loo-
ell-lah). Luella Melius, friend and protege of the
De Reszkes, and one of the foremost singers of
,i ,ii American, born in Chicago. She
music tudy as a little girl, in Chicago,
and was amazed whin her teachers presented her
with a special diamond medal. A few years later,
when she went to France, she was fortunate
enough to meet Jean de Reszke, v. ho told her she
must study with him three years, and that he
would accept from her no fees for her tuition.
Her debut was made in Vienna, under Felix
Weingartner. Called again to America through a
family illness, she was invited to sing, in Chicago,
as a guest artist in "Rigoletto," and her American
reputation at once was made.
MERO, YOLANDA, Pianist (Mehr-ro). Yo-
Iando Mero, pianist, is of Hungarian birth and a
natural inheritor of Franz Liszt's great tradition.
She was born at Budapesth, where, as a little
girl, she took up the study of music at the
Evangelique School, under her father and Augusta
Rennebaum. She made her debut in 1903, with
the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, and six
years later, she first was heard in America at
Carnegie Hall, New York. She has played with
almost every orchestra of note in the United
States and Europe. In recognition of her work she
was elected Professor at the National Con-
servatory in Budapesth.
MURPHY, LAMBERT, Tenor. Lambert Mur-
phy comes from New England, having been -born,
at Springfield, Massachusetts. His career as a
singer began as a choir-boy; in which occupation,
as an alto, he was greatly outshone by his brother,
went to Harvard, where, under the fantastic tests
of his classmates, he "made" the Glee Club. Not
so long afterward, at the instance of Riccardo
Martin, he was- heard by, and taken into, the
who had a soprano voice. He "grew up" and
Metropolitan Opera Company. Since leaving there,
he has sung at concerts, festivals, and with sym-
phony and other important organizations every-
where in America.
PADEREWSKI, IGNACE JAN, Pianist (Pad
er-eff-skee, Een-yahss Yahn). The world today
knows the history of Ignace Jan Paderewski — as
an artist, a patriot, an administrator in troublous
times, and now, at the crown of his life, an artist
again, in everything the term recognizes and im-
plies. He is of Polish birth, and it will always
be remembered that he was the first Premier of
new Poland.
Paderewski, for all his superb mechanical skill,
is a tonalist — an artist who can overlay the sil-
very and at times cool tones of the piano with
coruscating iridescences of color. The key once
struck, the pianist, unlike the singer, or the
player of almost any other instrument, has no
control whatsoever in this matter of tone — all
must be done beforehand, while the finger
descends.
PAPI, GENNARO, is one of the most distin-
guished of Italian Operatic conductors. Operatic
conducting, like that of the symphony orchestra,
requires a special and a most comprehensive
technique. The duties of a conductor of opera are
not what appears to many to be simply to beat
time for the body of musicians in the orchestra
pit, but it requires something far more difficult.
The operatic conductor must prepare the tem-
peramental artists and the chorus on the stage,
as well as to drill the orchestra in interpreting
the musical score of the composer. The successful
operatic conductor thus must hold together all
forces of the production — the artists, the chorus,
the ballet and the orchestra — and at the same
time inspire his associates to artistic performance
through his own musically sensitive personality.
This is no easy task, and the power to attain
complete musical success is given to but few.
Toscanini, the late Companini, Polacco, Marinuzzi
have risen to prominence among the hosts of
operatic conductors, and to this list must neces-
sarily be added the name of Gennaro Papi.
Born in Italy, Papi came to the United States
thirteen years ago and for ten of these years, has
been a leading conductor of the Metropolitan
Opera House. For nearly as long, he has been the
Italian conductor of the remarkable summer opera
seasons of the famous Ravinia Park in Chicago.
Signor Papi has the genius and the temperament
of the perfect opera conductor, and has the rare
quality of knowing his work so well that he
conducts from memory.
PATTIERA, TINO, Tenor, was born in
Ragusa-Vecchia, Dalmatia, and there he attended
college, taking up the study of law with the
intentions of making that his career. He pos-
sessed a naturally beautiful voice, however, and
each time he sang for his friends they enthusias-
tically urged him to take up music, seriously. In
the end, his inherent love for music compelled
him to abandon the study of law and concentrate
his every effort and talent in the study of music.
After a thorough study, Pattiera made his very
successful operatic debut in Dresden and earned
a place among the tenors' of Europe. After gain-
ing commendable praise from the critics of
Europe, he came to tin's country and made hi:;
American debut as "Cavaradossi" in Tosca with
the Chicago Civic Opera Company, earning the
same complete success. He has youth, splendid
physique, education and a true tenor voice of the
finest lyric quality.
PINZA, EZIO, Basso (Peen-tsah, Ay-tsee-oh).
This wonderful artist is a Roman. His career,
begun at Spezia, in Italy, was interrupted by the
World War, in which he served in the artillery.
Practically all of the important bass roles in
modern opera have been sung by Ezio Pinza; in
"Aida," in "I Puritani" and "Mefistofele" he has
been especially singled out for praise by European
critics. His engagement by the Metropolitan
Opera Company in New York, the best tribute
America might pay to any artist's powers, soon
led to the realization that Pinza was one of the
great race of singers who stand hopelessly sepa-
rate and apart from the common average. His
voice is of noble quality, and he employs it in
the grand manner of Italian operatic tradition.
PONSELLE, ROSA, Soprano (Pon-zell). Rosa
Ponselle is of Italian blood but American birth,
and a singer by divine right. She began life in
Meriden, Conn., with an enormous handicap, but
a handicap over others; for hers is a voice of such
beauty and power that it is1 difficult to see how
an artist could develop within any distance of her
without a similarly great natural gift. She began
as a very young girl, singing in public iri all
sorts of minor engagements. It was impossible,
however, to keep such powers long in obscurity,
and still at an age when most singers consider
themselves hardly advanced students, she was
singing at the Metropolitan with Caruso. Her
voice is always sympathetic, and in great
moments it reaches qualities of grandeur. She is
an actress of such power that if she were to give
up singing tomorrow, she still would rank high
with her contemporaries of the spoken drama.
RETHBERG, ELISABETH, Soprano, is one of
the brightest spots of the Metropolitan Opera and
possesses one of the most beautiful soprano voices
in the world. The witchery of her voice can
reveal the most dramatic intensity as well as the
most alluring tenderness, and as one famous
critic wrote of it: "It is like milk and honey."
There is no finer musician, no artist better
equipped among the singers appearing before the
American public today.
Mine. Rethberg was born in the Swartzenberg
in the Erz mountains, of devotedly musical
parents. At five, she started to play the piano
after a fashion, and was so happy at hearing the
little tunes which responded to her fingers that
she soon commenced to study music. The songs
which her mother used to sing when she was a
girl interested her also, and she would divide her
time playing the piano and singing these songs
and some of those by Schubert, which especially
interested her.
It was not until she heard her first performance
of opera on the stage of the Dresden Opera
House, however, that she decided upon a career
as a singer. After long and arduous preparation,
she made her debut as Agatha in "Der Frei-
schutz," followed by her appearance as Micaela in
"Carmen." Her success was so notable that
Richard Strauss wanted to engage her for the
Vienna Opera, and her services from then on were
greatly in demand. Mme. Rethberg has con-
certized in all the important musical centers of
northern Europe arid the United States. Her
appearances in opera have been just as extensive,
and in addition to the Metropolitan Opera House,
she has appeared in the United States also at the
famous Ravinia Park Opera during the summer
seasons. She sings the lyric and dramatic roles
of both the French and Italian repertoire as well
as' her native German operas.
ROMAINE, MARGARET, Soprano. Not so
many years ago out in Utah a little seven-year-
old girl was playing the 'cello and singing to
herself. Dreams of being a world -renowned
'cellist floated through the youthful musician's
mind. But it was her singing which discovered
a voice, today one of the prides of the Metro-
politan Opera House.
Miss Romaine first studied in London, then
Paris, where she appeared in the opera at the
Opera Comique. Returning to America her con-
cert appearances and light opera tour brought
her to the attention of Gatti-Casazza, who realized
that America had produced another sensational
soprano and engaged her for the Metropolitan.
ROSEN, MAX, Violinist, the son of a poor
Roumanian musician, came to America with his
father when less than a year old. He lived in
New York's East Side. His first lessons in violin
were received from his father. Later he was
brought to the attention of the late Edward de
Coupet. Through his interest and generosity, Max
Rosen went to Europe to study under Leopold
Alter. From this point on, his career was assured.
At the age of fifteen, Rosen made a phenom-
enal debut with the Philharmonic Orchestra in
Dresden. There followed a series of European
triumphs, including a concert tour of Norway and
Sweden, where he was literally idolized by the
RADIO DIGES T — Illustrated
71
people and applauded by royalty. His first public
appearance upon his return to America was made
with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at
Carnegie Hall. Max Rosen's success in America,
really his native country, was immediate, and his
further appearances with orchestra and in recital
in this country have added laurels to his fame.
SALVI, ALBERTO, Harpist (Sahl-vee). Al-
berto Salvi, harpist, was born at Vigiano, Italy,
not far from Naples. His father was a maker
of harps and pianos at Venice, who thought he
might "carry on" the industry. The lad, how-
ever, exhibited extraordinary talent for play-
ing the instruments, and it was decided to send
him to the Conservatory at Naples. His studies
matured just at a time when war conditions
made it impossible to begin, in Italy, the career
of a virtuoso, and in 1919 he came to the
United States, where one of his first acts was
to apply to become a citizen. Since then he
has lived and concertized in America. Like
every master of an instrument, he has expanded
the- technique of his own.
SCHIPA, TITO, Tenor (Skee-pah Tee-to).
Tito Schipa was born at Lecce, in 1889, and
made his debut at the Costanzi Theatre, in
Rome, in "La Traviata." Ten years later, he
made his first American appearance in Chicago,
as the Duke in "Rigoletto." His fine voice,
distinguished stage presence, and his most in-
telligent singing, brought him quickly into rec-
ognition, and into favor, in the new world. He
is a tenor of natural gifts, accomplishing with
ease what so many strive for, and so vainly,
through the whole of a lifetime, without suc-
cess. His voice has a wholesome, robust, manly
quality for all its lyric smoothness and its ease
of production. He has those attributes, as an
artist, which seem to appeal most powerfully
to the general American public.
SCHUMANN-HEINK, ERNESTINE, Con-
tralto (Shoo-mahn-Hynk). Mme.. Schumann-
Heink has been long in America, and has been
long and closely identified with American life.
At the age of ten she was sent to the Convent
of the Ursulme Nuns in Prague, where she sang
in the choir, but entirely by ear. Her father
was afterward transferred to Graz, where a
teacher named Marietta von Le Clair, who had
recognized the signs, offered to give the budding
genius her efforts without pay. The girl's voice
at that time was a deep contralto, with no high
notes. The wise teacher kept her on nothing
but exercises for two years before she gave her
songs by Mendelssohn, Schubert and other com-
posers. In 1878 she made her first appearance at
the Dresden Opera House at Azucena in "II
Trovatore," and in the early '90s she achieved
fame in Berlin. In 1896 she appeared at Bay-
reuth and in 1898 created a sensation in London.
Her first appearance in New York was in 1898.
American audiences refused to allow her to re-
turn to Europe. Since then, for almost a genera-
tion she has been a great presence among us.
SEIDEL, TOSCHA Violinist. "Small, compact,
fiery, the boy fiddled like a very demon, but a
frank, healthy little demon, charged with a mes-
sage from the gods." So spoke the critics on
that March day in 1918 when Toscha Seidel made
his American reputation in one hour. . Seidel is
the youngest and many think the greatest pupil
of Auer. Seidel was born in Odessa in 1900. His
mother was a school teacher, his father a busi-
ness man, his uncle a violinist and Toscha at
the age of three, "chose" his uncle's profession
for his own. From that day began the career
of one of the paramount musical geniuses of
the world — "a boy born with a fiddle in his
hand." Although temperamental and by the
grace of his great gift a peerless violinist, Seidel
is also a literary scholar, a genius at chess and
an athlete.
STOKOWSKI, LEOPOLD, Conductor (Sto-
koff-skee). Leopold Stokowski is one of the
greatest living masters of that most gigantic,
most sensitive and most difficult of all musical
instruments, — the symphony orchestra with its
hundred or more individual wills. The mind of
the great orchestral conductor is much like that
of the simultaneous blindfold chess-player; who
must not only keep the functions of many sep-
arate pieces in mind, but also their bearings
upon one another; and he has this added diffi-
culty, that he does not deal with inert mathe-
matical certainties, but with the plastic material
of human emotion and the evanescent human
sense of beauty. Stokowski's achievements in
this peculiar sphere have become part of the
true history— the inner history,— of music in
America.
Stokowski is of English birth but American
citizenship. In 1912 he became conductor of the
Philadelphia Orchestra raising it to the front
rank of the world's organizations.
STRAUSS, RICHARD, Composer -Conductor of
Vienna, is undoubtedy one of the greatest mu-
sicians of today. He has been called the Dean
of living composers. For many years he has
been the presiding musical genius of the Vienna
opera.
His phenomenal creative powers, his genius for
interpretation so evident in his performance in
conducting the great Strauss Symphony Or-
chestra, sets him apart in that order of musical
geniuses which numbers only one or two in a
generation. It is remarkable that one man
should be endowed with so many talents, for
Richard Strauss, the conductor, is equally as
famous as Richard Strauss, the composer. He
has composed many very beautiful songs, and
contributed generously to different forms of
music — symphony, symphonic poem, song liter-
ature, opera.
When Strauss last toured the United States
with his great symphony orchestra he received
the highest honors that the American press and
public could bestow.
TALLEY, MARION, Soprano. Marion Talley
is an artist by natural right. She was born at
Nevada, Missouri. She sang as as a mere tot,
and rejoiced in it. As a child she was taken
into a choir of mature singers. The purity of
her voice and the truthfulness of her ear amazed
everyone who heard her. By the time she was
fifteen years old her fame had spread to the
East, and she received a hearing at the Metro-
politan Opera House. Advised to put in a couple
of years at further study, she had not passed out
of her teens when her debut took place as Gilda
in "Rigoletto." And a sophisticated New York
audience almost broke down the doors to get in
and hear. She at once took place among the
foremost coloratura sopranos of the day.
TIBBETT, LAWRENCE, Baritone. Lawrence
Tibbett, baritone, was born at Bakersfield, Cali-
fornia; when he was seventeen his voice was dis-
covered by Joseph Dupuy in a school theatrical
performance. He studied with Dupuy and with
Basil Ruysdael, and for eight or nine years sang
in church, concert and light opera. Coming to
New York, he was engaged by the Metropolitan
Company. He memorized Italian roles before he
knew the precise meaning of the words. Cast for
for the role of Ford at a revival of Verdi's Fal-
staff, a riot of applause broke forth for him at
the end oi» the second act. Since then he has
mastered, and triumphed in, other roles. His
voice is rich, powerful and marvellously expres-
sive, and his stage presentations are splendidly
vivid and human.
TOSCANINI, ARTURO, who is generally-
recognized as the greatest personality among
the master conductors of today, was born in
Parma, Italy, in 1867. While an Italian by birth
and training, his career has brought him in
touch with the music of every country, and him-
self as conductor in many parts of the world.
His musical training was devoted to the study
of the 'cello in his native town, where at his
graduation he obtained first prize for his accom-
plishments. He played in various orchestras and
the year, 1886, found him in Rio de Janeiro.
While here, the incompetence of a conductor led
to his chance debut as a conductor on the sec-
ond night of his engagement. Subsequently, he
was engaged as conductor in Turin, Treviso,
Bologna, Genoa, and at the famous La Scala
in Milan in 1898. The same year he came to
the Metropolitan Opera House in New York as
chief conductor, resigning that position in 1913,
to return to Italy. During the war, he was
actively engaged in the encouragement of pa-
triotism among musicains, and also in the re-
lief of distressed musicians. From 1916 to 191S,
he produced open air opera performances through
which he secured large sums to devote to worthy
causes. Although Toscanini is" associated more
with the opera house, in Italy he has the repu-
tation of being equally prominent as a Symphony
and Opera Conductor, and Americans who heard
him on his recent tour of America with the La
Scala Orchestra, will realize the correctness of
this statement. Owing to his near-sightedness,
Toscanini has had to rely uopn a marvelous
musical memory, and he conducts the most
complicated scores entirely without book. It is
said that he is prepared to conduct, at a
moment's notice, any one of 150 or more operas
and a great number of symphonic compositions
as well. Last year, Arturo Toscanini made a
brilliant re-entry into American musical circles
as Guest-Conductor of the New York Philhar-
monic Orchestra, with which orchestra he will
again appear.
VERBRUGGHEN, HENRI, conductor of the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, was bom in
Brussels, Belgium. The only son of a well-to-do
manufacturer, it was determined that young
Henri should be a professional man. preferably
a doctor; but the youngster had ideas of his
own. He was allowed to study the violin and
his talent immediately became so apparent that
the attention of Ysaye, the great Belgian violin-
ist, was attracted to the boy, with the result
that he later became a pupil of the virtuoso.
After the great success of his first appearance
in Brussels, Ysaye took Verbrugghen to London,
where at the age of fourteen, he created a
sensation.
A career as a concert violinist lay ahead of
Verbrugghen, and for five years he followed it.
Tiring of what he termed "The futility of spend-
ing my life with a violin tucked under my chin,"
he determined that he would some time be a
conductor. He, therefore, deliberately deserted
the concert stage, took a minor position in an
orchestra in Wales, and step by step worked
his way upward to the concert master's desk.
He played in different orchestras in England and
on the continent to gain experience and was
offered the post of Assistant Conductor of the
Symphony Orchestra of Glasgow, Scotland. Serv-
ing as Guest-Conductor in Russia, France, Bel-
gium and Germany, he rapidly achieved an
immense reputation. An engagement in London
as conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra
in the famous Beethoven Festival in 1914 — re-
called the following year to conduct the Beeth-
oven-Brahms-Bach Festival, established the
name of Verbrugghen as one of the great con-
temporary conductors. He later accepted the
post of head of the State Conservatory in Syd-
ney, Australia, where he organized successfully
and conducted the State Symphony Orchestra of
that city. From Australia, Verbrugghen came
to Minneapolis, where he succeeded Emil Ober-
hoffer as conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra. He is also leader and first violinist
in the String Quartet that bears his name, and
is one of the prominent orchestral conductors of
the day. While Verbrugghen has attained pre-
eminence as conductor of Beethoven- Brahms-
Bach music, he is equally noted for his interpre-
tation for the more modern orchestral works.
WERRENRATH, REINALD, Baritone (Wair-
ren-rahth, Ry-nald). Reinald Werrenrath has
been making Victor Records for some years. As
a younger artist (he still is young) his contri-
butions were made to the Black and the Blue
Label classes. By sheer force of merit he won
a place among the immortals of modern vocal
music, and his records now are made in the Red
Seal class.
He has sung with the Metropolitan Opera
Company, and he has sung in concert every-
where throughout the United States. He is the
son of George Werrenrath, who was himself a
famous singer. He was born of Danish ancestry,
in Brooklyn, N. Y., and graduated from New-
York University. He has a splendid rich bari-
tone voice, clear, smooth and sympathetic, and
beyond that he sings with extraordinary under-
standing and intelligence.
WHITEHILL, CLARENCE, Baritone. Mr.
Whitehill hails from the West, having been born
in Marengo, Iowa. He took such a keen interest
in music that at the age of 19 he went to
Chicago to begin studying in earnest. He sang
in several Chicago churches with some success,
and four year later Mme. Melba advised him
to go abroad for serious study. The young man
took her advice, went to Paris and placed him-
self under Giraudet for dramatic action, and
Sbriglia for French dramatic roles. He proved
an earnest student and hard worker, and had
soon mastered more than thirty bass roles.
His debut was made at Brussels in 1900 as
Friar Laurence in "Romeo." He returned to
Paris for a season at the Opera Comique, and
was then secured by Mr. Savage for the English
opera season at the Metropolitan in 1901. Re-
turning to Europe in the spring of that year he
began on the advice of Mme. Wagner, to study
German opera, and in 1902 appeared in the
"Ring" at Lubeck, and as Wolfram at Bayreuth
in 1904.
ZIMBALIST, EFREM, Violinist (Zim-bal-ist.
Eff-rem). This distinguished Russian violinist
was born at Rostoff on the Don, Russia, April
9, 1889, and disclosed a musical temperament at
an early age. He did not, however, commence
to study the violin until seven years old, when
he took lessons from his father, a distinguished
orchestra director. Later he went to Leopold
Auer in Petrograd, and made rapid progress.
His debut in that city was a pheonomenal suc-
cess, which was repeated in the principal Euro-
pean music centres. A splendid London debut
definitely established his fame in England, and
an equally warm welcome awaited him in the
United States. His marriage to Alma Cluck led
to the making of beautiful duet records by these
famous Victor artists.

Song- Hits of Yesterday and Today
Can You Remember Way Back to 1910 and In Between
When These Songs Were Most Popular?
NEVER has there been such a de-
mand for new and snappy airs as
today. The composers cannot
grind them out fast enough. And that
is because the moment a song strikes
the popular fancy it is heard everywhere
and everybody wants it immediately.
Some of the composers claim that a
popular song lives much shorter but
merrier, and stands a better chance to
make more money because it is broad-
cast. In case you may want informa-
tion about the hits of yesterday here is a
handy reference to keep in your library.

Folks Know Old Masters Better Now
Daily Repetition of Names of Composers by Announcers
Gives Opportunity to Learn Pronunciation
GENERAL interest in the old mas-
ters has been greatly stimulated
as the result of Radio broadcasting
of their works. Not only is there an
awakened appreciation of the best in
music that has ever been produced but
there is an unusual curiosity concerning
the lives of these inspired geniuses.
Here are a few of them.
ARNE, DR. THOMAS AUGUSTINE (1710-
1773). Born in London, designed for the law.
Practiced music secretly. Became one of the most
prolific of English composers. Wrote 30 operas
and other works. Trained his own sister, Mrs.
Colley Cibber, famous actress. Composer of
"Rule, Britannia," first written for a royal
masque. First introduced women's voices into
oratorio.
BALFE, MICHAEL WILLIAM. Born Dublin,
1808. Violinist at Drury Lane, London, 1824. First
baritone, Paris Opera, 1828. First opera was pro-
duced in Italy. Married Lina Rosa, Hungarian
singer. Wrote 31 operas, including "Bohemian
Girl," sung in many languages and popular the
world over. Wrote many songs in addition. Died
1870, Rowney Abbey, England.
BACH, JOHANN SEBASTIAN (Bahkh),
Born Eisenach, Prussia, 1685. Family very musi-
cal and was taught violin by father. Afterward
studied clavichord. Chorister at Luneberg, 1700.
Organist, Armstadt, 1704; appointed court organ-
ist at Weimar, 1707; then Concertmeister. Kapell-
meister at Coethen 1717 to 1723, then director of
several Leipsic churches. Married twice; 20 chil-
dren. Was greatest master of fugue and counter-
point, and first to introduce present method of
fingering for pianoforte. Works numerous, in-
cluding 300 church cantatas, many organ works,
suites, concertos, etc. Larger works include
"Mass in B Minor," "Christmas Oratorio,"
"Passion of St. John and St. Matthew." Bach
died in 1750, after having become almost blind.
BEETHOVEN, LUDWIG VAN (Bay-toh-ven)
(1770-1827). Born Bonn, Germany, 1770. Began
study of music at age 4. Played at concert at 8.
Began composition at 10, writing a cantata and
"nine variations." Assistant to concert organ-
ist at 11, at 12 conductor of Court Opera Or-
chestra (without pay!). When 14 was granted
a salary of 150 florins (about $80 a year!). In
1787 made first visit to Vienna, a great event for
the boy. Compositions not important until 1795,
but from then to his death wrote 260 works. Only
opera, "Fidelio," produced Vienna, 1805.
Beethoven's influence on art of music very
great and can hardly be estimated. He died
March 26, 1827; buried in Vienna.
BIZET, GEORGES (Bee-zay). One of the
greatest musicians of the modern French opera
school was Georges Bizet (1838-1875). His first
operas were "The Pearl Fishers" and "Djamileh."
In "Carmen" Bizet composed one of the most
pleasing and popular operas of all time. Although
not an opera the music which Bizet wrote for
Alphonse Daudet's drama "L'Arlesienne" is one
of the greatest compositions of a dramatic type
which has been found in modern music.
BRAHMS, JOHANNES (Brahmz) (1833-1897).
Rightly regarded as one of the greatest masters
of the modern school of music. His works are
monuments of technical skill, ranking with those
of Beethoven and others of the world's foremost
composers. He wrote almost entirely in sym-
phonic forms. He wrote many beautiful songs
and several symphonies, serenades, concert over-
tures for orchestra, and the Hungarian Dances.
CHOPIN, FREDERIC FRANCOIS (Show-
Pahn) (1809-1849). Frequently called "the poet of
the piano." A Pole by birth and deeply devoted
to his native land, whose folk music he constant-
ly uses in his own compositions. He is often
classified as a member of the French Romantic
School. His great Sonata in B minor reflects
his sorrow on the downfall of his native Poland.
His Mazurkas, Polonaises, Krakoviaks, reflect his
love for his homeland. He was the first great
composer to bring into prominence the use of
national characteristics in his compositions. His
works are for pij-no solo, with the exception of
a few songs and his two concertos for piano and
orchestra. Chopin is regarded as the greatest
poetic musician who ever lived.
DVORAK, ANTONIN. The greatest of modern
Bohemian composers, was born in 1841. Died
1904. In the early nineties he spent three years
in New York City as artistic director of the
National Conservatory, a result of his stay being
the wonderful "Symphony, from the New World,"
which has for its basic motive a number of the
American plantation melodies.
GOUNOD, CHARLES FRANCOIS (1818-1893)
(Goo-no). Born in Paris. Father, artist, died
when Gounod was five. Taught by mother. Won
Conservatory Prix de Rome, 1837. Became organ-
ist San Luigi Church; contemplated priesthood.
In 1850, when Mass became successful in England,
asked to write a work for Paris Academie Opera
"Sapho," 1851, a failure. Work unimportant until
1859, when masterpiece, "Faust," appeared, most
famous of all operas — given 1,500 times in Paris
alone.
GLUCK, CHRISTOPH WILLIBALD (Glook).
(Weidenwang, Upper Palatinate, 1714; D. Vienna,
1787.) Studied music at Prague and later in Italy.
Encouraged by Marie Antoinette in Paris, he in-
augurated much needed reforms in opera against
violent opposition. One of the earliest and most
renowned of dramatic composers. His two great-
est operas, "Orfeo" and "Armide," produced
respectively in the years 1762 and 1777, are still
to be found among the mainstays of the modern
repertory and are given by critical opinion a
high place among the greatest masterpieces of
operatic writing. The simplicity and grandeur
of Gluck's style have seldom been approached.
GRANADOS, ENRIQUE (1869-1916). Composer.
The hopes of Spain for a great national composer
were built largely upon Granados, who, with his
wife, was drowned upon an ocean journey in 1916,
shortly after his opera, "Goyescas," was given
in New York. He wrote many brilliant works
for the piano.
GRIEG, EDVARD HAGERUP (1843-1907)
(Greeg). Born Bergen, Norway, 1843. At 6 began
musical education under his mother. At the age
of 15 was sent to Leipsic Conservatory. Returned
to Norway, 1863, and began writing the original
and spontaneous music which was to make him
famous. Grieg really founded a new school of
Scandinavian music. His short piano pieces are
charming works of their class and his numerous
songs full of poetic feeling. The Peer Gynt Suite,
written for Ibsen's dramatic poem, "Peer Gynt,"
is pehaps the best known of all his compositions.
Grieg died September 4, 1907.
HANDEL, GEORGE FRIEDRICH (1685-1759).
Born Halle, 1685. Father a barber, afterwards
valet to Prince Saxe. Intended for law, studied
harpsichord secretly. Visited Court at 7. Heard
playing organ by Prince, who offered to educate
him. Went to Berlin in 1698, precocity astonish-
ing all. Entered Halle University, organist at
$50 a year. Wrote two operas, 1705, at Hamburg.
Visited Italy, then England, where he settled,
1718. Wrote first English opera, "Rinaldo." Di-
rector Royal English Academy Music, 1720, pro-
ducing many operas. British subject, 1726. Par-
alysis, 1737, induced by opera worries. Turned
to oratorio, 1737. "Messiah," greatest of oratorios,
1742. Almost blind, 1752, worked till death, 1759.
Buried in Westminster Abbey. Wrote 40 operas;
none now performed.
HAYDN, FRANZ JOSEF (High-dn). Born
Rohrau, Austria, 1732. At 5 years of age was sent
to school at Hainburg, where for two years he was
taught rudiments of music, playing on the vio-
lin. 1740 taken to Vienna by Reutter as chorister
at St. Stephen's, where he learned singing, violin,
clavier and composed a great deal. Later sup-
planted as singer by brother Michael. Became
first capellmeister to Prince Esterhazy. Com-
posed 30 symphonies, 40 quartets and became
known and admired all over Europe. 1791 visited
London and received degree from Oxford. 1792
returned to Vienna, where he gave lessons to
Beethoven. Died Vienna, 1809.
HERBERT, VICTOR. This famous director was
born in Dublin in 1859, and at the age of seven
was sent to Stuttgart as a student of the 'cello.
After some years' study and a tour of Europe,
he accepted the position of solo 'cellist in the
orchestra at the Metropolitan Opera in 1886. A
more brilliant career as conductor became pos-
sible and, after having been bandmaster of the
Twenty-Second Regiment Band and conductor of
the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Herbert
organized in 1904 the Victor Herbert Orchestra,
which has had a most successful career. All this
time Mr. Herbert continued to compose operas,
writing more than 25, including two grand operas.
Mr. Herbert's great fame as a composer of
operas has somewhat obscured the fact that he
is a gifted 'cello virtuoso, and when but a young
man held the position of first 'cellist in the Stutt-
gart Court Orchestra..
LEONCAVALLO, RUGGIERO. Born Naples.
1858; died Rome, August, 1919. One of the leaders
of the so-called "Young Italian" school. He
wrote many operas; but his fame rests almost
entirely upon "I Pagliacci," which was first pro-
duced in Milan, in 1892, and has since been a
favorite, especially with American audiences. In
1906 and again in 1913 he visited the United
States.
LISZT, FRANZ (List) (1811-1886). The great-
est piano virtuoso of his time. His technique
as a pianist as well as a composer was colossal.
He was the inventor of the symphonic poem. His
greatest works are thirteen symphonic poems,
the "Dante" and "Faust" symphonies1, two piano
concertos for orchestra, oratorios "Christus" and
"St. Elizabeth," several Masses, many songs and
last, but not least, the Hungarian Rhapsodies
for piano. Liszt wrote nearly four hundred com-
positions for piano which form a large part of
the repertoire of the modern concert pianist.
MACDOWELL, EDWARD (MacDowel) (1861-
1908). A musical genius which America has pro-
duced. Although his training in composition was
obtained principally in Europe, he never lost
his American expression. One of MacDowell's
early teachers was the great pianist, Theresa
Careno.
MacDowell was the head of the Music Depart-
ment of Columbia University. After his death
there was established in Peterborough the Mac-
Dowell Colony, where American musicians,
writers and artists may go and quietly work.
MacDowell wrote a remarkable suite for or-
chestra based on Indian themes.
MASSENET, JULES EMILE FREDERIC
(1842-1912) (Mahss-'n-nay). Jules Massenet, whose
death occurred in 1912, was one of the best known
of modern French composers. He was born in
Monteaux, near St. Etienne, in 1842, and num-
bered among his teachers Ambroise Thomas,
composer of "Mignon." At the age of twenty-one
he carried off the Grand Prix de Rome with his
cantata "David Rizzio." He composed prolifically
for the lyric stage, the orchestra, the voice and
the piano. His latest work, "Therese," was re-
cently produced at Monte Carlo. One of his most
popular operas is "Manon"; others are "Herodi-
ade," "Werther," "Le Cid" and "La Navarraise."
MENDELSSOHN, FELIX (Men-dl-sohn).
Born on February 3, 1809. His father was a Jew-
ish banker at Berlin. He received his first music
lessons from his mother — then Ludwig Berger
became his tutor for the piano, and Zelter, a
very learned theorist, for counterpoint. When
twelve years old he began to compose — wrote a
trio, some sonatas, a cantata and several organ
pieces. His home life was most favorable to his
musical development.
In 1824 Mendelssohn began to study under the
celebrated pianist, Moscheles, and he soon be-
came a mature musician. In 1826 he gave ti
the world the overture "Midsummer Night's
Dream." Conducted the famous Gewandhaus
Chorus in Leipsic. He later married Cecile Jean-
renaud, the daughter of a clergyman. Completed
"Elijah," his greatest works, in Leipsic in 1846.
The death of his sister, Fanny Hensel, proved
such a great shock that it resulted in his death
at Leipsic in 1847.
MOZART, WOLFGANG (1756-1791) (Moh-
tsart). Born 1756, Salzburg. Son of musician and
teacher. When 4 could play piano, at 6 wrote
a concerto. Learned violin and traveled as a
prodigy. At 11 wrote an opera, never given- At
12 concertmeister of Salzburg church, and wrote
several Masses. When 13 went to Italy, where
the young genius astonished by his musical
knowledge. Was knighted by Pope. Produced
and conducted his opera "Mitridate." 1770. Re-
turned home, and in 17S2 married Constance

Simple Explanation of Broadcasting
Part IV — The Voice and Music Are Separated from the Radio Wave
to Be Reproduced by the Speaker
By Marvin W. Thompson
FOR those who have not been following this series of
articles, it should be explained that, in the previous three,
we have looked into the creation of sound waves in a
singer's throat, then followed them as they became Radio
impulses in the huge transmitter of a broadcasting transmitter
and, finally, discussed interesting features connected with their
travels through space. This fourth and concluding article
takes up their reception in a broadcast receiver — and some of
the whys connected with a receiving set.
In order to understand what is necessary in a set, and what
1 SECOND, 900 KILOCYCLES —
■187,000 MILES (300,000,000 METERS

■,.-->'
'--r LENGTH OF EACH WAVE MUST BE 333 !/3 METERS
1ST STAGE
Fig. 12
goes on within it. we must first analyze Radio broadcast
waves to some extent to know what the problem is for their
reception. Obviously, since these programs are tearing through
space in all directions they must pass through us by the
hundred yet we do not respond to them, nor are we conscious
of them.
Taking now, the waves from only one station, they must be
considered as a series of ripples, occurring at a certain definite
number per second and spreading out from their source, getting
weaker as they go,
since the diameter
of the circle gets
greater. Each rip-
ple contains energy
in the form of a
slight disturbance
of the particles that
make up what we
call the atmosphere.
This disturbance is
passed on without
the particles them-
selves moving the
least bit from their individual places. Each sort of nudges the
next and settles back until nudged again by its neighbor toward
the broadcasting station, when it once more jostles that particle
on its opposite side. That is energy, in the form of radio
waves, traveling at 187,000 miles each second.
WHEN a station announces "we are broadcasting on a
frequency of 900 kilocycles by the authority of, etc." it
means that the ripples of energy in the air occur at the rate of
900,000 per second (See Figure 12). Since that many are
created in one second, and the first one has gone 187.000 miles
when the last one leaves the aerials, we can readily determine
the length of each wave by dividing 187,000 miles by the
announced frequency. This is most easily done by changing
miles into meters and 187,000 miles is approximately 300,000,000
meters or 300,000 kilometers. If we now divide 900 into 300,000,
we find that the station's wave is 333J<3
meters. That is what is called converting
frequency into wavelength. If you have
the wavelength of a broadcaster, you have
merely to divide its wavelength into 300,-
ooo to know it-, frequency. Remember that
as it may come in handy some night when
you have a station identifying its channel
in kilocycles and some neighbor wishes
to get it but his log is by wavelength.
On this stream of impulses, it should
be remembered, there have been im-
pressed impulses occurring at the audible
number per second of 30 to several thou-
sand. This was done in the transmitter
as explained in article two. Our problem
now is first, to pick up and' strengthen
the radio and audio energy, second, to
sort out the music and voice part, and
third, to further strengthen the electrical
impulses which we will then have at the audible frequencies
just mentioned. Since about 85 per-cent of the receivers in
use are of the type known as "tuned radio frequency," we will
consider reception by such an outfit.
We must, first of all, have an aerial and ground. The aerial
can be either an outside wire running up the side of the building
and over part of the roof, or an inside wire running around the
picture moulding or baseboard or in the attic. The ground can
be a wire attached to the water pipe, one running down to the
water in a well, or a wire connected to a long metal spike driven
into the earth. What we are trying to do
is create a length of wire above the ground
possessing what we call "inductance" and
a space between two conductors (antenna
and ground) possessing a characteristic
which we call "capacity." As a stream of
energy, radio impulses, passes through this
space and cuts across our wire having in-
ductance value, part of the energy in each
ripple changes its form and becomes elec-
tricity in the wire.
It is in the circuit composed of aerial
and ground wires as "oscillating electrical currents" which go
one way, reverse, and go the opposite way the same number of
times per second that our ripples of energy occurred in the
air. It is said to be at radio frequencies, though no longer in
the form of radio waves. This energy, still carrying the voice
and music, is to be amplified by one or more of the glass bulbs
which we call "tubes."
Each tube has associated with it, some other parts which
are necessary to getting our energy into and out of the tube
properly so we
speak of each tube
and these parts as
a "stage" — a stage
of amplification.
A m p 1 i f icati o n
m e a n s to add to
and, in this case, we
mean to add energy
in the form of elec-
trical power to each
swing of the cur-
rent in our circuits.
When you consider
that these swings occur at from 550,000 to 1,500.000 times per
second, it is evident that this adding of strength is a very deli-
cate operation. To date, nothing has been discovered that will
do this, other than a tube, the invention of Dr. Lee DeForest,
who called it the "audion" when he first brought it out.
It is possible to have from one to four of these stages or
tubes amplifying these very high frequency currents in a set
that can be made and sold commercially. (See Figure 13).
More stages are possible in the laboratory, but not over the
counter. Our first stage builds up the signal to. let us say,
nine times its original strength. The signal is then fed to the
second stage, which amplifies it nine times more. It is now
eighty-one times more powerful than when it came in on our
aerial and ground. A third stage will multiply its energy nine
times further so that it is 720 times its original value.
Supposedly, this could go on indefinitely, but when more

Hot Spot 14 With Shielded Grid Tube
With Push Pull Power Amplifier the Very Finest Set
That Can Be Built Today
By WILLIAM P. LEAR:
THE receiver "that
couldn't be" has come
into actual existence. The
set that will really slice
off stations in ten kilocycle
bands, regardless of whether
they are local or long distance,
can now be built — and very
easily. Upsetting all of last
season's ideas of amplification
and how to get it, the Hot Spot
Fourteen is indeed the wonder
set of the. year. Each Radio
season winds up with some one
•utstanding development as a
standard of selectivity and dis-
tance for the super-heterodyne
enthusiasts to shoot at — and try
to better for the next season.
Last spring the season ended
with an excellent edition of the
"Nine-in-Line," which seemed
to give almost everything
desired. We approach the
spring months this time with
the Hot Spot Fourteen — with
variations.
Hot Spot Fourteen, as
brought out by its original
designers, is a "super" with
fourteen tubes, all coupled with
transformers. Without changes
in panel drilling or general
design, we have added the new
high amplification tube UX-222,
resistance coupling after the
detector, and this magnificent
assemblage is adequately ended
with a push-pull power ampli-
fier employing UX-210 tubes.
Counting the rectifiers, it has
become the "Very Hot Spot
Seventeen." It seemed incon-
gruous to us to build such a marvelous
outfit, from the standpoint of selectivity
and range, and wind it up with either a
112 or 171. Only 210's in a push-pull
arrangement seemed enough. And what
tone quality they give — with a Jensen
Dynamic Speaker!
Some idea of the truly remarkable
selectivity of this set may be gained
from the following excerpts from the log
sheet. Most of these stations are avail-
able nightly — clear, sharp, enjoyable.

far from the Edgewater Beach hotel.

There are those who, without the fol-
lowing explanation, would scoff at the
idea of using fifteen active tubes in any
receiver. It has been the general expe-
rience that, when one reached a certain
number of stages of amplification, the
sensitivity per stage had to be pulled
down to add any, and nothing was
gained by the addition of any more. It
is this experience that has been changed
by Robertson-Davis Company, chief
backers of the Hot Spot. If we take
one stage with an amplification of 10,
and add to it another stage with an am-

plification of 10, the total is a strength-
ening of the signal of 100. A third stage
with a gain of 10, gives us a grand total
of 1,000. Beyond that you cannot go,
since feedbacks and tendency to oscilla-
tion necessitate cutting down the gain
per stage so that the resultant overall
gain is not even 1,000.
IF, on the other hand, one will accept
a gain of but 6 per stage, and use four
stages, it is possible to have and control,
a gain of 1,296 from input to detector.
Going yet further and cutting the gain
per stage to 3, it is feasible to use eight
stages for a total gain of 6,560 without
losing control. Using eight stages it is
possible also, to create an intermediate
frequency channel so narrow that it is
strictly 10 kilocycles wide. There you
have the basic theory of the Hot Spot.
The amplification per stage is low
enough so that the feedback from plate
to grid in each tube does not get away
from one, and that from following stages
will not be great enough to start the
system into oscillation. The tremendous
gain of eight stages, with a gain of 3
each, is actually achieved.
Due to the fact that all tubes are
worked well below their limit, and re-
generation does not have to be brought
up to instability, the music comes
through with exceptional purity. Due
to the sharpness of tuning, the static
component of what one hears is very
low. On receivers not so sharp, one gets
the static of not only the ten kilocycle
band to which he is tuned, but that of
one or two bands on either side, which
forces its way in, due to inher-
ent broadness. On the Hot
Spot, you get only the static
which is strong on the fre-
quency channel of the station
to which you are listening —
comparatively little.
A further advantage of the
Hot Spot is that stations come
in at only one point on the
oscillator dial, giving "one
spot" tuning. This result is
gained by using an intermediate
amplifier frequency of 465 kilo-
cycles (645 meters) and an
oscillator which covers a fre-
quency range of approximately
1,000 to 2,000 kilocycles. If
you subtract 465 from 1,000 you
get 535, which is a shade lower
in kilocycles than any broadcast
station goes, while if you sub-
tract 465 from 2,000 you get
1,535, which is a few kilocycles
higher than stations go. Hence,
you completely cover the broad-
cast range, and to get a second
"spot" on the oscillator dial its
range would have to go far
below broadcasting.
YOU can construct the Hot
Spot exactly as described
here, to feed into the Power
Amplifier and "B" Supply which
is also described — or any of
these Amplifier and Supply
units which are on the market
— or, you can put the fourteenth
tube in the set as originally
intended and for which the
makers of the Celeron drilled
and engraved panels have pro-
vided a socket hole. If the latter, you
use the Brown wire in the cable for the
180-volt supply and put a binding post
on the rear edge of the sub-base for 40.5
volts "C" battery.. You can build the
outfit complete as described and use
some other type of speaker by merely
shunting the "field" binding posts on the
power unit with a 2,200-ohm resistance.
However, some care in the choice of
speakers must be used, in this last
named case, since few on the market
can handle the output of two 210 tubes
and give you those heavy low notes that
make the reproduction of this set so
awe inspiring.
The sub-base of this set is assembled
completely first, then the front panel
and, finally, the two are bolted to the
brackets and connected with 19 wires to
complete the job. The system of insert-
ing machine screws and soldering lugs
along the front edge to take wiring
across to the front panel, makes this set
considerably easier to build, and the
holes for all these screws have been
provided by the panel makers. The only
holes you need drill for this adaptation
of Hot Spot are for brackets and the
Power Switch on the panel. The original
method of assembly included a huge
wooden baseboard and a number of pil-
lars up to the sub-base, but since Ben-
jamin brackets are available everywhere
and the pillars would have to be made
to order, this assembly was considered
better.
The sub-base, as supplied, measures
SS^c inches long. Measuring in from
the left end 7J4 inches, a hole is drilled

and another 3^ inches from front edge.
These mount one Benjamin bracket.
Measuring in 6J4 inches from the right
end of sub-base, another hole is drilled
l/i inch back from front edge, and one
'■'>Y& inches back. These take the second
bracket. The positions for holes in the
front panel are determined by moving
the sub-base and brackets up against
the back of the front panel, making sure
it is centered, and marking the drilling
spots right through the bracket holes
and on the back surface of the front
panel. All holes so far mentioned are
for 0-32 screws, as provided by Benja-
min with the brackets. The holes in the
front panel are to be countersunk. The
hole for the Imp Power Switch is drilled
squarely below the hole already in the
front panel intended for the 200,000-ohm
volume control, and its center is to l^ic
inches from the bottom edge.
The Excello Console R-31 was chosen
for the reason that it is one of the few
such cabinets on the market that is a
truly attractive piece of furniture. It is
of unusually heavy construction with
door panels of carefully selected and
matched butt walnuts that are the
admiration of all the women who have
seen this outfit. The entire console has
been given a two-tone full piano finish,
and behind the lower doors there is a
large 29x24xl4'^-inch compartment with
removable grille.
IF you are going to place this set in
the Excello Console R-31, which is
made for a 29-inch panel, it will be nec-
essary to cut <Y2 inch from each end of
the Hot Spot front panel which is 30
inches long as it comes to you. This we
did quite easily with a small hack saw
and followed the outside of the gold line
that runs down each end of the panel.
This in no way affects the appearance
after the set is in place. It is also a good
idea to slightly file out the notch in the
bottom of the hole provided for the dou-
ble range voltmeter. There is a switch
which runs from the front flange of the
meter back to the rear face and this must
have freedom to turn. The notch was
not quite deep enough in our case.
When assembling the sub-panel equip-
ment, first countersink the two holes
provided for the Yaxley terminal bracket
as they come below two of the Melo-
couplers which are flat-bottomed. Once
this is done, flat head screws can be
dropped into the holes and Melocouplers
can be placed directly over them. Melo-
coupler 420 is mounted on the front left
corner of sub-base with its G and P
posts toward the front, while 460 is the
one to its right in the front row and has
its G and P posts to the rear. Melo-
couplers 461 to 469 inclusive are mounted
in that order from left to right across
the rear edge, with their G and P posts
to the front.
Coming to the tube sockets, we find
the socket for the first detector in the
left front corner of sub-base with G and
P to the right, while the socket which is
9 inches to its right and beside the 460
coupler is the oscillator with G and P
to the left. The row of sockets extend-
ing clear across the sub-base and mid-
way front to back are all placed with
G and P to the rear. Near the right end
of the sub-base, and in the front row,
are the sockets for the first and second
stages of audio frequency amplification
and here we place them with G and P to
the front. The mounting of the smaller
parts such as the Melochoke, the Sam-
son Choke, bypass condensers and San-
gamo fixed condensers should be clear
from a little study of the photographs.
In mounting the bypass condensers,
about 20 inches of brass strip %6xl/i6
inch are used. That at the left end is
held away from the under side of the
sub-base by mounting the brass strip on
•K-inch pillars which can be easily built
up on a machine screw with battery nuts
or hex nuts.

THIS bypass condenser at the left end
is Co in the wiring diagram, while the
two in the rear right corner are CS and
ClO. The three that are mounted to-
gether near the front edge and just to
right of center are those identified as
C4, Co and CT in the diagram. Taking
up the mica fixed condensers, that beside
the Samson choke, is C9, that in the
front right corner is Cll, that behind
the voltmeter is Cl2 while that near
the front left corner is Cl3. In wiring,
ihe placing of the Melocouplers and in-
termediate tube sockets is quickly ap-
preciated, as it is only necessary to
tighten down the coupler mounting
screws with the soldering 'ugs swung to
the correct positions and a drop of sol-
der will make each connection.
On the front panel, the variable con-
denser at the left end is C2, the little one
next to it is Co while the second large
variable condenser is Cl. Next to it,
from left to right, is the Yaxley 400-ohm
potentiometer, then the Carter 200,000-
ohm volume control and, finally, the
3-ohm rheostat. The Kurz-Kasch dials
are a little difficult to understand but are
well worth the slight difficulty in put-
ting them on. If a good size end wrench
that will fit the lock screw7 in them is
available, so much the better, but a
pretty good job can be done with large
pliers. Turn the condenser plates clear
in, slip on the dial disc and tighten the
lock nut with the dial disc reading 100
at the top. Keep the dial disc out from
the panel about "!its inch. The cover,
with spring and small friction pinion in
place, is now brought up against the
condenser shaft with the small pinion
just below the large disc. If you lift
carefully, and press in, the small pinion
will lit against the disc and the cover
will slip over the shaft. The screws
embedded in the cover near the top, then
hit the holes provided for them in the
front panel, and it is but a minute's
work to slip the nuts on them.

THE Jen»en Dynamic Speaker is hung from ceiling of the lower

very well. The bakelite strip for the
binding posts measures 10^ inches by
•}4 inch, but this can be a little more or
less just so you can
get 9 binding posts
on it. The placing of
parts for this unit is
clear from the pho-
tograph, but it might
be well to explain
that of the push pull
transformers, that
which is close to the
end of the board is
type B while that
which is close to the
Thordarson Double
Choke unit is the
output D210 trans-
former.

assembled that the
leads coming from

(4) 2 mfds. test 600
volts, (5) 4 mfds.
test 400 volts and (6)
1 mfd. test 200 volts.
This arrangement is
due to the fact that
the first condenser
takes the full voltage
ffle plate. as it comes from the
rectifiers, while it has been reduced by
the first choke when it hits the second
condenser, and still further by the sec-
ond choke when it reaches the third. The
4 mfd. unit only takes 90 volts while the
1 mfd. is across "C" bias. One connec-
tion may not be quite clear from the
photo. There is a wire which connects
to the center terminal at the "back" of
the Thordarson transformer, comes
through between condenser block and
choke unit and connects to the right end
of the 750-ohm "C" bias strip.
It should be mentioned that, since
this Power Unit was constructed, the
Aerovox Filter Block T H 662 shown in
the illustration has been replaced by the
more developed model T H 682, speci-
led in the list of parts. On this new unit,
the three capacities of 2 mfd. have their
high potential terminals at the top, No.
1 being the 1,000-volt unit. No. 2 the
first of the 600-volt type and No. 3 the
second 600-volt. This block is to be
placed with terminals 6, 7 and 8 to the
front and 4 and 5 at the rear. Connect
4 and 5 together and use jointly as
minus B lead. Terminal 7 is the 4 mfd.
unit while (i and 8 are 1 mfd. each; use
6 across the 45-volt section of Truvolt
and 8 across the 4i^2-volt "C" bias section.
You will note that several pairs of
leads in this unit have been twisted; be
sure and do this to yours, as it keeps
out "hum." You will see, also, that
each of the cases on apparatus has been
connected to the wire of lowest potential,
which is "lower" end of the resistance
and becomes the minus 41/ "C" bias for
the set. It is very likely that you will

Z^oice of the Reader
Radio Makes Invalid Happy
WHILE nine out of every ten let-
ters received by Reader's View
of Radio Digest are complaints
about the way programs are
broadcast and received, once in a while
a letter comes that glows with optimism
and good cheer.
Outstanding of all the mail received
for some time is the letter from Miss
Jennie R. Miller, 139 W. Seneca street,
Oswego, N. Y., who has been an invalid
for twenty years. To her the pleasures
of Radio are growing greater and greater
all the time. With her one-tube set she
has logged 412 stations located from one
side of the globe to the other.
It is the bright spot in her life. It has
expanded her world from the four walls
of her room to the sky and the ends of
the earth. She takes great pride in the
trophies that have been awarded her by
the big Radio shows in Xew York and
Chicago for the retharkable DX log
made with so simple a receiver.
How does Miss Miller manage to keep
such a line disposition? It is the old
answer. She keeps busy. She says:
"T AM an artist and spend most of the
A daylight hours painting pictures,
being gifted with this lovely faculty
since I was old enough to hold a pencil.
Some will remember the painting I made
of Miss Radio for the Radio World's
Fair, 1925-26. I love this work and" I
suppose you wonder how I can paint
pictures lying in bed — but where there's
a will there's a way.
"I have been taking the Radio Digest
for over four years now and think it is
the best Radio magazine there is. I
would not like to miss a single copy of
it. and let me tell you that it is by the
help of the Kadio Digest directory that
I have been able to find these very long
distance stations on my one-tube set."
Miss Miller then heaps the bouquets
on our modest little book and makes a
suggestion, "that you put a list of the
Kuropean and South American and Aus-
tralian and all far distant stations in the
log. giving their wave lengths in meters
and kilocycles. This would be a great
help to find out where to locate some of
the very far stations not yet discovered."
The wish is granted.
Concerning some of her DX experi-
ences Miss Miller says:
"The longest distance I have had is
3LO, Melbourne, Australia. But I have
also had LOW, Buenos Aires, Argentine,
and 5NO, Xew Castle, England. It is
no trick at all to pick up KFI, Los Ange-
les. <,r I'WX, Havana."
It was last summer that she first
picked up the Australian station. She

" A ' ■'• : ' "' :u ",- I picked up a very weak
■i*- signal," she said, "and after a few
I heard a man talking. But the
static was noisy, so I just marked the
dial silling and decided to try it again
. better night at the same place. The
next cool evening that came along 1
began listening at 3 o'clock. At 3:05 I
heard the Call SLO, Melbourne. It was
■ '■ and distinct. 1 heard very clearly
;. piano solo. As long as I live I never
will forget the thrill of those few pre-
cious moments."
JENNIE R. MILLER, Who Wins DX
Prizes With One-Tube Set
Throughout the entire six-page letter
Miss Miller did not make one complaint,
and the only reference to her ailment
explained the picture she enclosed. It
stated, "this little picture will tell you
how happy Radio has made me after
being shut away from the world for
twenty years, for I have been confined to
my bed with spine trouble all these long
years. I am holding the silver cup, as
you see in the picture, that the Chicago
Radio show awarded me for making a
world's record in 1926 with my one-tube
set."
Letter from JODK, Seoul
We beg- you will excuse for our long
negligence in writing you. This station
was opened up on the fifteenth of Feb-
ruary last, equipped with Marconi's stand-
ard type transmitter 1 kw output. We
have received many letters from the U. S.
fans in California and Arizona regarding
reception of the station on 345 meters.
Our program contains both Korean and
Japanese music and others also in both
languages on the announcement. We broad-
cast market, lecture, news and weather,
etc., in the daytime; music and other
amusements in the night until 10 p. m.
There were about 3,000 listeners when
the fee was tw - yen ($1) a month, but on
and from first of October the fee is reduced
to one yen a month. Thereafter the lis-
tener are Increasing steadily. We expect
5,000 by the end of the year.

Cuss and Go to Bed
After reading the silly replies to Mr.
Cranse I have decided to write as the peo-
ple in these parts see the situation. Radio
conditions are 100 per cent worse than
they were last winter. We don't object to a
chain but we do object to them being scat-
tered about two degrees apart all over the
dial, and being forced to listen to them or
go to bed. Some chain programs are good
but the majority are not appreciated by
the general public. People of real culture
and refinement in the country homes love
to hear and understand the words of the
artist. They appreciate the artist's ability
but would much rather the artist would
sing to the birds in the woods. When a
man comes in from his work, tunes in his
favorite station and then the station is
crowded out by some artist with a long
handle to his name it's ton much. You
can only cuss and go to bed.
V. C. Shlve. Gober, Tex.
Why Razz Commission?
While so many are complaining I want
to express a word of appreciation for
l" neflts I have received from listening to
Radio. I have no income, am a dependent
and all for very good reasons. I love
music of all kinds. I hear all kinds on the
air — by that I mean classical music, jazz
and so called popular music. I hear some
disturbance, too, but I am much more
interested in what I hear than what I do
not hear. For that I am thankful. Let the
commission alone. They are honest men
and dealing with problems that no human
being ever before was called upon to solve.
Two of the original five are dead in less
than a year after tackling the problem and
a third was hounded out of office.
Justice, St. Louis, Mo.
Thinks Broadcasters Selfish
Tour editorial in the February issue,
"Get Ready Another Doom" is all right.
We may not agree on everything, like that
month's editorial demanding that chain
programs be put on one wave, but we sure
do agree on this one. I have been lying
here on the flat of my back -.f or nearly fif-
teen months, and the more I use my Radio
the more I think. It seems to me the
broadcasters are a very selfish lot. It isn't
the listener they are thinking of but how
far out are they getting, regardless of
what they are putting on the air. "Write
us and let us know how we are coming in,"
they ask. I haven't found so many sta-
tions off their wave but they are blanket-
ing everything around them. The worst
offenders are K1IOX, then KOIL, KOA,
WBBM-W JBT, KMA-KWKH, WGN-WLIB.
It is pure selfishness that causes blanket-
ing. Oscar Duncan,
Sll W. Woodward St., Denison, Tex.
Almost a Threat
Bridge is an abomination on the air. I
think only a very small minority is inter-
ested and the chain stations are arranged
geographically so that it is almost impos-
sible to tune them out. The big companies
with so much power within their grasp
should consider well how they vise it and
not abuse it or they will lose it. Indigna-
tion might reach such a point that a con-
certed move would be made to boycott all
concerns that advertise with the chains.
The Radio clubs across the country might
bring considerable pressure in this way.
Ben F. Redmann,
602 Fifth St., Rock Island, 111.
Guarding the Frontiers
I have been keeping tab on the federal
Radio commission since it began juggling
wave lengths, and clearing channels for
the National Broadcasting company, and
the only improvement I have noted is the
rescue of WOAI, which had been buried at
lOlOkc, but at the same time the commis-
sion interred WSMB, another good station,
in the same grave.
Several years ago, Canadian and Mex-
ican broadcasters could invade the U. S.
with impunity, but the commission, sens-
ing the danger and with the slogan "U. S.
air for U. S. stuff," impelled by patriotic
fervor, apparently put into effect strategic
measures that would repel the invaders.
WENR, KPRC and others were charged
with keeping out 7 Canucks at 1030 kc;
WABC and KDKA blocked seven others at
960kc; WSM and WJAX defended the
frontier against another seven at 880kc
and to WWJ and WSAI fell the task of
protecting us against ten Canadian sta-
tions at 810kc, besides CZE, formerly a
regular visitor from Mexico. WCCO and
WON can be depended on to keep out nine
stations at 730kc, besides CT.I of Mexico.
A new Toronto station, CFYB on 517
meters, sneaked through the lines several
nights lately, but as you have not got it
listed as yet, the Commission has evidently
not heard of this new menace to our peace
of mind, but you can rest assured that as
soon as official notice is received, WOW,
WMC and WSUN will be ordered to work
overtime in order to stop the gap. KWKH.
"Shreveport everywhich" will keep out
Havana or die trying.

How dare you say,
"I have no opportunity"
— when men and women, thru home*study training,
are making records such as these?
Harry J. Williams, Accounting
Engineer, LehighValley R. R„
Wilkes Barre,Pa.Mr. Williams
chose the Accountancy route to
lead him out of a "blind-alley"
job, and within comparatively
few months won a 60 per cent
"raise" and promotion to a po-
sition that spells— opportunity.
J.L.Aldrich,Districl Manager at Fargo, N. Dak.,
for the Monroe Calculating Machine Co., Inc.
"At the end of six months my income was 153% per
cent greater than during any six months before
I enrolled with LaSalle."
YOU seek a better opportunity
to get ahead in business — and
you don't want "promises;"
you want a definite program for ad-
vancement, backed by positive proof
that that program works!
Listen, then, to these actual expe-
riences— and when you have heard
them, tell us, if you can, how you
dare to say, "I have no opportunity! ' '
Mill Man Becomes Auditor
— then Treasurer and
General Manager
At sixteen, Ralph H. Berndt — his
schooling ended with the eighth
grade — entered the Carnegie Union
Steel Mills, at Youngstown, Ohio.
His wage was $2. 15 a day, and his
working day was twelve hours long.
Six years later he was assistant
roller — drawing good wages and with
prospect of promotion.
Looking ahead, however, he saw
himself "an old man at fifty— and with
nothing then to look forward to but
retirement and probable poverty."
"Realizing that hands and feet
would do for me no longer," he
writes, "I decided to give my brain
a business training. Accordingly, I
enrolled with LaSalle for home-
study training, gave up the mills
forever, and made a humble start in
my new profession."
His apprenticeship was short. Al-
most before he knew it, an opening
came with W. C. DuCombCo. , Inc. ,
Detroit, and he got the place — as
Accountant, then Auditor! Raise
followed raise.
Late in 1925 he was made Treas-
urer and General Manager of this
company; and so highly does he
value his LaSalle training that he
is now on his second course— in
Business Management.
Clerk Becomes
Accounting Engineer
Wins 60% Raise
"You've picked a blind alley."
That was what many good friends
of Harry J. Williams thought when
he took a job as clerk with the
Lehigh Valley Railroad.
"Blind for some, perhaps, ' ' said
Harry Williams, ' 'but not for the
man with specialized training!'''
Acting on his conviction, he en-
rolled with LaSalle for Higher
Accountancy training— and soon
won advancement to the position
of Accounting Engineer, with an
increase in salary of better than
60 per cent.
Cho.rles W. Sheldon, Sheridan,
Wyoming. At forty, Mr.
Sheldon, then telegrapher and
station agent on the C.B.&Q.,
left railroad work and took up
selling. He iner eased hisincome
500 per cent.
' 'Mr, Williams proves exception-
ally competent in his new capac-
ity, ' ' writes Francis N. Loughnane,
Division Engineer. "He shows
marked ability and is a very
creditable product of your great
university."

I Was Afraid of This
New Way to Learn Music
— Until I Found It Was Easy As A-B-C
Then I Gave My Husband
the Surprise of His Life
DON'T be silly, Mary.
You're perfectly foolish to
believe you can learn to
play music by that method. You
can never learn to play the piano
that way . . . it's crazy! You
are silly to even think about it."
"But Jack, it's ..."
"Mary, how can you believe in
that crazy music course. Why, it
claims to teach music in half the
usual time and without a teacher.
It's impossible!"
That is how my husband felt
when I showed him an ad telling
about a new way to learn music.
He just laughed. His unbelieving
laughter made me wonder. I began
to feel doubtful. Perhaps I had
been too optimistic — perhaps enthu-
siasm and the dream of realizing
my musical ambitions had carried
me away. The course, after all,
might prove too difficult. I knew
that I had no special musical talent.
I couldn't even tell one note from
another — a page of music looked
just like Chinese to me.
But how I hated to give up my new
hope of learning to play the piano. Music
had always been for me one of those dreams
that never-come-true. I had longed to sit
down at the piano and play some old sweet
song ... or perhaps a beautiful classic,
a bit from an opera, or even the latest jazz
hit. When I heard others playing, I envied
them so that it almost spoiled the pleasure
of the music for me. For they could enter-
tain their friends and family . . . they
were musicians. And I, I was a mere
listener. I had to be satisfied with only
hearing music.
I was so disappointed at Jack. I felt
very bitter as I put away the magazine
containing the advertisement. For a week
I resisted the temptation
to look at it again, but
finally I couldn't keep
from "peeking" at it. It
fascinated me. It told of
a woman who had learned
to play the piano by her-
self, in her spare time, and
at home, without a
teacher. And the won-
derful method she used
required no tedious scales
— no heartless exercises —
no tiresome practicing.
Perhaps I might do the
same thing!
So finally, half-fright-
ened, half-enthusiastic, I
wrote to the U. S. School
of Music — without letting
PICK YOUR COURSE
Mandolin Saxophone
Drums and
Traps

Composition

or Tenor)
Jack know. Almost as soon as I mailed
the letter I felt frightened. Suppose the
course proved to be horribly difficult . . .
suppose Jack were right after all.
Imagine my joy when the lessons started
and I found that they were as easy as
A, B, C. Why, a mere child could master
them.
While Jack was at work, I started learn-
ing. I quickly saw how to blend notes into
beautiful melodies. My progress was won-
derfully rapid, and before I realized it, I
was rendering selections which many pupils
who study with private teachers can't play.
For through this short-cut method, all the
difficult, tiresome parts of music have been
eliminated and the playing of melodies has
been reduced to a simplicity which anyone
can follow with ease.
Finally I decided to play for Jack, and
show him what a "crazy course" had
taught me. So one night, when he was
sitting reading, I went casually over to the
piano and started playing a lovely song.
Words can't describe his astonishment.
"Why . . . why ..."
he floundered. I simply
smiled and went on play-
ing. But soon, of course,
Jack insisted that I tell
him all about it. Where
I had learned . . . when
I learned . . . how. So
I told of my secret . . .
and how the course he had
laughed at had made me
an accomplished musician.
One day not long after,
Jack came to me and said,
"Mar}', don't laugh, but I
want to try learningto play
the violin by that wonder-
ful method. You certainly
proved to me that it is a
good way to learn music."
Piano
Organ
Violin
Clarinet
Flute
Harp
Cornet
'Cello
So only a few months later Jack and
I were playing together. Now our musical
evenings are a marvelous success. Every-
one compliments us, and we are flooded
with invitations. Music has simply meant
everything to us. It has given us Popular-
ity! Fun! Happiness!
If you, too, like music . . . then write
to the U. S. School of Music for a copy
of the booklet, "Music Lessons in Your
Own Home," together with a Demonstra-
tion Lesson, explaining this wonderful new
easy method.
Don't hesitate because you think you
have no talent. Thousands of successful
students never dreamed they possessed
musical ability until it was revealed to them
by a wonderful "Musical Ability Test."
You, too, can learn to play your favorite
instrument through this short-cut method.
Send the coupon. The Demonstration
Lesson showing how they teach will come

Music, 1833 Brunswick Building, New York.

"<5very 3,000 MilesThis
Amazing Little Device Buys
MeaNewTirc.FREE"
ir I ^HE money
A gasoline
I save on
more than
keeps me in new tires. Fig-
ure it out ... I was getting
13 miles per gallon on my
Nash. With gas at 18c plus
2c tax it cost me $46 to drive
3,000 miles. Now I'm getting
better than 26 miles per gal-
lon. It takes just half the gas
and I save $23 to $25 every
3,000 miles — more than the
price of a new tire."
No matter what make of car
you drive, the Stransky Va-
porizer is unconditionally
guaranteed to give you 50 per
cent to 100 per cent more
miles per gallon or it costs you
nothing. As a matter of fact,
it is not uncommon for the
Stransky Vaporizer to more
than double gasoline mileage!
Note These Records
Forty-three miles per gal-
lon from a Chevrolet, reported
by F. S. Carroll. Fifty-seven
miles on one gallon in a Ford
reported by J. T. Jackson,
Michigan. Forty miles per
gallon in a Dodge from
Brownsville, Tex., to Tam-
pico, Mex., reported by T. L.
Brown.
43.8 Miles Per Gallon
Mr. M. E. Miller, Kansas City, writes:
"You people claim a saving of 25 to 50% of
Gasoline. I have subjected the Vaporizer to
a severe and thorough test. After installing
one on a Chevrolet, I found I was obtaining
43.8 miles to a gallon whereas formerly I
had been getting only 19.5. That is not a
saving of 25 to 50% but 124%, so you see
that the actual test surpasses your claim."
FITS ANY CAR IN 5 MINUTES
Any one can install this device in 5
minutes. Simply loosen one connection to
the intake manifold with a wrench. You
can do the rest with your fingers.
Proved by Two Million
Owners
Records like these are reported in
every mail for every make and model
car * * * from 72 different countries
* * * the world over. More than two
million Stransky Vaporizers have been
installed.
Easily Installed
No bigger than a dollar coin — no more
expensive than a good wrench — no more
trouble to attach than a fan belt! At-
taches to the intake manifold of any car
in five minutes. Anyone can do it.
Less Gasoline —
More Power
The Vaporizer supercharges your
gasoline after it leaves the carburetor.
Completely vaporizes the gasoline. Un-
der this ideal condition you get more
compression out of less gasoline and a
more complete explosion. Both power,
pickup and speed are noticeably in-
creased. Starting is not interfered with
as the Vaporizer automatically shuts it-
self off when the motor is idle.
Make This Test
Test the Stransky Vaporizer on your
car — and expect results that will amaze
you! Double your mileage — get flash-
ing pickup and power — forget carbon
trouble, sluggish motor and fouled spark
plugs from over-rich mixture — and save
enough on your gasoline to more than
keep you in tires. These results are
guaranteed or the test costs you nothing.

RADIO DIGES T — Illustrated
109
If all the Radio sets I've "fooled"
with in my lime were piled on
lop of each other, they'd reach
about halfway to Mars. The
trouble with me was that I thought
I knew so much about Radio
that I really didn't know the
first thing. I thought Radio was
a plaything — that was all I
could see in it for me.
I Thought Radio Was a Plaything
But Now My Eyes Are Opened, And
I'm Making Over $100 a Week!
$50 a week! Man alive, just one year
ago a salary that big would have been
the height of my ambition.
Twelve months ago I was scrimping
along on starvation wages, just barely
making both ends meet. It was the same
old story — a little job, a salary just as
small as the job — while I myself had
been dragging along in the rut so long 'I
couldn't see over the sides.
If you'd told me a year ago that in
twelve months' time I would be making
$100 and more every week in the Radio
business — whew! I know I'd have
thought you were crazy. But that's the
sort of money I'm pulling down right
now — and in the future I expect even
more. Why, only today —
But I'm getting ahead of my story. I
was hard up a year ago because I was
kidding myself, that's all — not because I
had to be. I could have been holding
then the same sort of a job I'm holding
now, if I'd only been wise to myself.
If you've fooled around with Radio, but
never thought of it as a serious business,
maybe you're just in the same boat I
was. If so, you'll want to read how my
eyes were opened for me.
When broadcasting first became the
rage, several years ago, I first began my
dabbling with the new art of Radio. I
was "nuts" about the subject, like many
thousands of other fellows all over the
country. And no wonder! There's a
fascination — something that grabs hold
of a fellow — about twirling a little knob
and suddenly listening to a voice speak-
ing a thousand miles away! Twirling it a
little more and listening to the mysterious
dots and dashes of steamers far at sea.
Even today I get a thrill from this
strange force. In those days, many
times I stayed up almost the whole night
trying for DX. Many times I missed sup-
per because I couldn't be dragged away
from the latest circuit I was trying out.
I never seemed to get very far with it,
though. I used to read the Radio maga-
zines and occasionally a Radio book, but
I never understood the subject very
clearly, and lots of things I didn't see
through at all.
So, up to a year ago, I was just a
dabbler — I thought Radio was a play-
thing. I never realized what an enor-
mous, fast-growing industry Radio had
come to be — employing thousands and
thousands of trained men. I usually that until that day I sent for their eye-

The Day-Dreamer
Will he ever wake up?
HIS life is made up of rosy visioas.
He sees himself in a manager's office — as the president
of a firm— with a $20,000 salary — perhaps even as a
millionaire with a Rolls Eoyce, a rakish yacht and a swell country
estate.
But all this grandeur is in his day dreams. He lives in the
golden PARADISE OF TOMORROW— and it never comes.
He does nothing with the opportunities that surround him
TODAY.
He feels above his present job. He is always "going to find
a place where his abilities will be appreciated." But he NEVER
DOES.
He is^the despair of his employers, for they know that he
REALLY 'HAS ABILITY. He can plan with intelligence, he has
original ideas, imagination. If he could only concentrate on
today, instead of TOMORROW, he might have all the prosper-
ity he craves!
What he needs is a STICK OF DYNAMITE— anything to
wake him up and teach him to get results from his abilities NOW.
If he doesn't give himself a rousing jolt, he will complain
more and more of not being "appreciated" — and gradually "peter
out" into a failure — A JOB COWARD — a cog in a business
machine.
He will always be somebody else's servant, instead of master
of his own destiny.
How does he get into such a mental state? Because he uses
only about ONE-TENTH of his mental energies in doing the vital
things that count. Psychologists have proved that most of us use
NINE-TENTHS of our brain power in day-dreaming, fortune-
wishing, aimless time-killing. We are nearly all victims of the
vicious habit of living far below our God-given endowments!
It doesn't help to learn that certain of your mental abilities
have become WEAK THROUGH DISUSE, just as unused
muscles do. Nobody knows better than you (if you are honest
with yourself) that there must be a "screw loose somewhere."
The proof of it is that you have failed to reach the high mark you
ONCE set for yourself.
Sou admit it. What you want to know is, WHAT CAN BE
DONE ABOUT IT?
There is one very simple thing that you CAN do — now. You
can find out what Peimanism has done for 650,000 men and women,
some of whom were facing THE VERY SAME DISSATISFAC-
TION with their attainments that you are feeling. Pehnanism
developed the mental powers they lacked — it replaced procras-
tination with "do it now" efficiency; it put concentration in the
place of mind-wandering; it substituted self-confidence for self-
distrust. You will learn how Peimanism has often awakened
abilities which the individuals did not DREAM they possessed!
Since Peimanism is the science of applied psychology, it
brings SELF-REALIZATION to all classes and conditions of men
and women — prominent and famous as well as obscure and un-
known. And among the better known persons who use and advo-
cate it are:
T. P. O'Connor, "The Father of the House of Commons"
General Sir Robert Baden Powell, Founder of the Boy
Scout Movement
Judge Ben B. Lindsey, Founder of the Juvenile Court,
Denver
Frank P. Walsh, Former Chairman of the 'National War
Labor Board
Jerome K. Jerome, Novelist
General Sir Frederick Maurice, Director of Military
Operations, Imperial General Staff
Admiral Lord Beresford, G.C.B., G.C.V.O.
Sir Harry Lauder, Comedian
W. L. George, Author
Baroness Orczy, Author
Prince Charles of Sweden
— and hundreds of others of equal prominence.
A remarkable book called "Scientific Mind-Training" has
been written about Peimanism. IT CAN BE OBTAINED FREE.
Yet thousands of people who read this announcement and who
NEED this book will not send for it. "It's no use," they will say.
"It will do me no good," they will tell themselves. "It's all
tommyrot," others will say.
But if they will use their HEADS, they will realize that
people cannot be HELPED by tommyrot and that there MUST
be something in Peimanism, when it has such a record with
660,000 different individuals, and when it is endorsed by the kind
of people listed above.
If you are made of the stuff that isn't content to keep on
"putting off" all" the good things of life — if you have a spark
of INDEPENDENCE left in your soul, write for this free
book. It tells you what Peimanism is, WHAT IT HAS DONE
FOR OTHERS, and what it can do for you.
The first principle of YOUR success is to do something radical
in your life. You cannot make just an ordinary move, for you will
soon again sink into the mire of discouragement. Let Peimanism
help you FIND YOURSELF. Don't put it off. Mail the coupon
below now— now, while your resolve to DO SOMETHING
ABOUT YOURSELF is strong.

A COMPOSER'S fame is not affirmed
-*1 by professional musicians but by the
general public whose judgment in the end is
infallible. A great mastcrwork that is not
destroyed will always eventually be recog-
nized as such whether, like the Venus de
Milo, it has lain hidden for centuries be-
neath the earth or. like the Matthew Passion
of Bach, equally hidden in the dusty shelves
of the Royal Library of Berlin, to be redis-
covered by Mendelssohn and pronounced the
greatest religious choral work ever written.

Weber. Period of poverty followed, ended by
production in 1786 of "Marriage of Figaro." This
success followed by greatest work, "Don Gio-
vanni," in 1787. Other operas were "Cosi" and
"Titus," not successful. In spite of failing health
from overwork wrote "Magic Flute," produced
1791, and died some months later. Besides operas
wrote much sacred and chamber music, many
orchestral works, etc.
NEVIN, ETHELBERT (1862-1901). A popular
American composer. Was born in Pennsylvania in
1862. Studied piano and composition in Boston.
Then directed his atention to composing. Nearly
all his compositions are lyrical — both for voice
and the piano. His most famous composition is
"The Rosary," although he wrote a great num-
ber of songs that are now well known. His
lamentable early death occurred in 1901.
OFFENBACH, JACQUES (1819-1880). Known
as the originator of French burlesque opera, was
born in Cologne, the son of a Jewish cantor. In
1849 he became the director of the Theatre Fran-
cais, where many of his most popular operettas
were later produced. The exceeding cleverness
and animation of his music is everywhere rec-
ognized. His last and only really ambitious work,
"The Tales of Hoffmann," has been produced
many times of late in this country, and has
<5ountless admirers.
PUCCINI, GIACOMO (Poo-chee-nee). One of
the most famous Italian composers of the Opera.
He was born in 1858. His operas are among the
most popular of the Italian repertoire at the
present time. Puccini died in 1924.
PONCHIELLI, AMILCARE (Pohn-kee-el-ee)
(1834-1886). Born in Cremona, Italy in 1834. He
was the composer of many works, the most
widely known being "La Gioconda," which he
composed in 1876. His death occurred in 1886.
RIMSKY-KORSAKOW, NICHOLAS (1844-
190S). Was one of the greatest masters of the
Russian School. In 1861 he became interested seri-
ously in his music. After a year's serious theo-
retical study he was ordered on a trip around the
world in the Russian navy. He composed during
this period a symphony which was the first work
in this form ever written by a Russian. Later, he
accepted the post of Director of the St. Peters-
burg Conservatory, a position he held until his
death. He resigned from the navy in 1873, but
still held the post of Inspector of Bands. The
greatest of his thirteen operas are "Sadko," "The
Snow Maiden" and "The Tsar's Bride."
ROSSINI, GIOACCHINO (Ros-see-nee). One of
the greatest of Italian opera composers. Born
Pesaro, Italy, 1792. Mother opera singer and
father musician. Studied piano from 7. At 15
went to Bologna Conservatory. When 16 wrote
cantata, and in 1810 an opera. During 1812 pro-
duced five light operas, and in 1813 first grand
opera, "Tancredi," a success; then "Italian in
Algiers." In 1816 produced his finest of comic
operas, "Barber of Seville." In next eight years
wrote twenty operas. 'Went to London, 1823, and
produced his works with success. Went to Paris,
managed Theatre Italien, producing his master-
piece, "William Tell." In 1832 wrote famous
"Stabat Mater." Last years spent quietly and
happily among devoted friends. Died in Paris,
1868.
RUBINSTEIN, ANTON GREGOR (Roo-bin-
stme) (1830-1894). Was one of the greatest pian-
ists the world has ever known. Rubinstein wrote
many operas, for his chief wish was to be remem-
bered as a composer and he placed great hope
in the creation of what he called "Sacred Opera"
(oratorio to be enacted with costume and scen-
ery).^ In addition to this he produced many sym-
phonies, piano concertos, chamber music com-
positions and over one hundred songs, yet he
will live as a composer principally because of
his piano compositions. His piano works are
always melodious and of a simple, sincere beauty
that makes an immediate appeal.
SAINT-SAENS, CAMILLE (San Sah(h) (1835-
1921). A most important composer and dean
of the modern French School. Saint -Saens was
equally prominent as a pianist, organist, con-
ductor and composer.
His works include symphonies, piano, violin
compositions and a number of exquisite songs.
"Samson and Delilah" is considered his greatest
work. Saint-Saens possessed a rare gift of
melody and, although he rarely departed from
the strict classic forms in his instrumental works,
they are always modern in spirit.
SCHUBERT, FRANZ PETER (1797-1828). Born
near Vienna, 1797. Son of peasant schoolmaster.
Boy taught violin and voice by local choirmaster.
At 16 wrote 1st Symphony. At 17 began writing

need the .00025 mfd. mica condenser
across one half of the input transformer
due to a very high pitched whistle which
will be noticeable. Occasionally this is
not needed but we have found it needed
'J out 'of 10 times. This is no fault of
the transformer but a condition seem-
ingly a part of push pull assemblies with
any units. As to just which half should
be bridged with this condenser one can-
not say in advance. Try it on one side,
then the other. In one of these two
positions, it eliminates the very faint
high whistle.
PRESUMING you have 110 volts in
your locality, not 10^ or 120, you can
^et your sliders on the Electrad strip
pretty closely from the pictures. These
SHOULD be set, however, with a high
resistance voltmeter. The slider to the
left should be juggled until you get 4*/2
to 5 volts between the minus iy2 "C"
binding post and the minus "B" post.
The "B" post will be plus in relation to
the "C" post. The "45" post is to be
45 volts plus to the minus "B" terminal,
while the next one is to be 135 volts plus
to the minus "B" post.
Xow for mounting the Jensen speaker.
First get a piece of % inch plyboard
measuring 24 inches high and 25J4 inches
wide. An 8^-inch circle is cut in this
with the upper point of its circumference
\}i inches from the upper edge of the
board. This circle is midway between
the two side edges. Looking into the
Excello R-31 console from the rear, you
will see a strip fastened horizontally
back of the grill work and a few inches
from the top. This is removed and not
used, as it is only necessary when con-
sole is supplied with inbuilt speaker. The
plyboard baffle-plate now is set in and
you will find that its edges just match
the outer sides of the upright pieces each
side of the grill. Four screws are put
through on each edge to hold it tightly
in place.
Now cut a block of wood lyl inch
thick and just the size of the mounting
base of the speaker unit. . Drill holes
through it to line up with the mounting
holes of the base of the speaker unit.
This speaker is mounted, seemingly,
upside down and hung from the ceiling
of the lower compartment of the con-
sole. Place the speaker in position with
its base and the wood block against the
ceiling of compart-
ment and the circum-
ference of the cone
matching the 8^-in.
circle cut in the baf-
fle plate. It should
press firmly against
the baffle. Now have
someone who is help-
ing you push a drill
up through the four
holes that extend up
through the wood
block and the base of
speaker unit, so a
mark is made in the
■wood, of the ceiling.
Then drill holes
through into the
upper compartment,
that will take 8-32
machine screws. One
of these screws is
now dropped through each hole from
upper compartment, the block is slipped
up over them, then the base of the unit,
and nuts turned up tightly to hold all in
place. Speaker is NOT fastened to baf-
fle-plate.
IF you are using battery, trickle charger
and relay combination as "A" supply,
plug the twisted light cord of the
Thordarson transformer in the Power
Amplifier into this "A" unit and drill
a hole in bottom of cabinet for the
twisted light cord of the "A" unit to go
to the wall socket. Make all connec-
tions as shown in the complete wiring
diagram, insert tubes as shown, connect
to the top of the 222 tube with a small
clip of some kind. Connect the loop
via the tip jacks on sub-base. When you
turn on set switch, all tubes should light
up in both units. Adjust the 3-ohm
rheostat so that an "A" reading on the
voltmeter (switch to left) shows 3 volts.

Schubert led a somewhat Bohemian life, never
married and was frequently out of funds. Was
much underpaid, some of his best songs bringing
only 20c each! Works numerous, including 600
songs, 10 symphonies, several overtures, much
piano and chamber music, operas, etc. Schubert
was the greatest of all song composers, and really
creator of art of song. Also most remarkable
of youthful writers. Died 1828, leaving many
MSS. valued by Officials at $12.50 (!), but which
afterward made the fortune of several publishers.
SCHUMANN, ROBERT (1810-1856). Born
Zwickau, Saxony. Son of bookseller. Learned
piano at 6. Began composition at 7. When 16
father died; boy went Heidelberg University.
Studied piano at Leipsic; injured finger and
turned to composition, first piano, and, after
marriage to Clara Wieck, famous pianist, other
forms of composition. Toured Russia, 1844; lived
Dresden, 1845; Director of Musical Society Dussel-
dorf, 1850. Wrote symphonies, one opera,
"Genoveva," and many other works, including
his great series of songs, composing 130 of these
in one year.

STRAUSS RICHARD, of Vienna, is undoubt-
edly one of the greatest musicians of today. He
has been called the dean of living composers.
For many years he has been the presiding musi-
cal genius of the Vienna opera.
His phenomenal creative powers, his genius
for interpretation so evident in his performance
in conducting the great Strauss Symphony Or-
chestra, sets him apart in that order of musical
geniuses which numbers only one or two in a
generation. It is remarkable - that one man
should be endowed with so many talents, for
Richard Strauss, the conductor, is equally as
famous as Richard Strauss, the composer. He
has composed many very beautiful songs, aad
contributed generously to different forms of
music — symphony, symphonic poem, song liter-
ature, opera.
When Strauss last toured the FJnited States
with his great symphony orchestra he received
the highest honors that the American press and
public could bestow.
SULLIVAN, SIR ARTHUR SEYMOUR (1842-
1900). Celebrated British composer, of Irish par-
entage, best known to the world through his
inimitably clever and witty comic operas, written
in collaboration with W. S. Gilbert. The success
of practically all of these works has been un-
exampled in America and Great Britain. Many
of Sullivan's songs are also great favorites,
notably his "Lost Chord."
TCHAIKOVSKY, PETER ILYITCH (1840-
1893). The most distinguished of Russian com-
posers and the greatest representative of what is
known as the modern Russian school was trained
mostly, under Rubinstein in Petrograd; from
1866 to 1877 instructor of harmony in Conservatory
of Petrograd. Visited New York in 1891 at the
dedication of Carnegie Hall. Is known as one of
the greatest and most powerful of orchestral com-
posers; also wrote numerous operas, few of which
have been produced outside of his native land.
THOMAS, AMBROISE (1811-1896). Famous
French dramatic composer; gave to the world
numerous dramatic works, of which "Mignon"
has done most to perpetuate his name. "Ham-
let," "Le Caid" and "Raymond" have also had
their share of popularity.
VERDI, FORTUNIO GIUSEPPE FRANCESCO
(Yair-dee). Born 1813, near Roncole, Italy. Par-
ents, though poor inn -keepers, gave him spinet
lessons from parish organist. At 10 succeeded his
teacher at church organ. Boy became so popular
that village sent him to Milan for further study,
where director of Conservatory refused scholar-
ship because of lack of talent! (Many years
after, this same institution was renamed Cons,
di Giuseppi Verdi in Verdi's honor.) Then
studied with Lavigna, returning to Roncole to
marry Sirta Barezzi. Settled permanently in
Milan. 1836. Died in 1901.

station of moderate strength. Now,
using a piece of wood whittled at one end
like a screwdriver, adjust the small
Hammarlund balancing condenser in the
plate circuit of the 222 tube for maximum
strength, then leave it alone. It does
not take long to get used to tuning this
outfit. You soon learn how far up you
can bring the potentiometer and small
midget condenser before going into os-
cillation and that volume control should
be turned clear up when looking for
distance.
The Abox Eliminator is highly recom-
mended for this set because it contains
no battery and is never charged or dis-
charged. The tubes in the upper com-
partment, which it supplies, draw a total
of 1^4 amperes which, in our case, is
easily taken care of by the lowest inter-
mediate plug on the Abox. Since there
are three plugs above this, it is plain that
Abox is working well below its limit.
There is absolutely no hum and its regu-
lation characteristics are such that fluc-
TTHE Thordarson Push-Pull Amplifier and "
* adapted for this set is very easily assembled
tuations in line voltage have no effect on
the operation of the set. It seems to
be the solution of Radio's most annoying
problem — the A current supply.
If you install this receiver with an
Abox "A" supply as did the writer, do
not connect the power switch on panel
into the "A" circuit. Instead, remove
the insulation for about yi inch on both
of the wires of the twisted pair light
cord close to the Thordarson trans-
former, remove the socket plug from
the Abox cord and connect (and solder)
the Abox leads across the leads to
Thordarson unit of Power unit where
you have just scraped them. Then tape
both joints carefully. The twisted cord
from the Power unit is then brought up
through a hole in the ceiling of lower
compartment to the power switch on
panel and one of the twisted wires is
cut. One of the cut ends is then con-
nected to each side of the switch. The
second wire of the twisted pair is NOT
cut. This twisted pair is then brought
back through the hole to lower com-
partment and out the back through a
notch cut in upper edge of the silk cov-
ered back frame. Switch now turns off
the 110 volt supply to both units when
you are through with set.
BROADCASTS EXPLAINED
(Continued from page 00)
stages are added for amplifying at radio
frequencies, the whole complicated sys-
tem is apt to get beyond control. If four
j of these stages are to be used it is better
J practice to cut the amplification per
stage to seven which, after going through
four tubes, would show a resultant gain
Of 8,401.
What makes all this confusing to the
beginner is the fact that one may find
a single dial on a seven tube outfit and
three dials on a five tube outfit. It must
be explained that each of these stages
of amplification at radio frequencies, and
the tube used to separate the music from
the radio wave, must have a device that
is turned or "tuned" to adjust that tube
to the desired program. Each stage can
have an individual dial or they can all
be moved simultaneously by one. Yet
again, the first can have one dial and the
following two can have a dial, or the
following three, depending on the design
of the set.
From the standpoint of efficiency, it is
better to have separate dials for each of
the tubes mentioned above, but from the
viewpoint of convenience, simplicity and
ease of handling, one dial for all is to be
preferred. Radio sets can now be man-
ufactured with such precision that it is
feasible to put all of these devices on a
mechanism to be turned by one dial and
get very nearly, although not quite, 100
per cent possible results.
REGARDLESS of whether we
strengthened the signal to 81, 729 or
2,400 times its incoming strength, it is
then fed to a tube
which, because of the
duty it performs, we
call the detector. It
can be just the same
type as its predeces-
sors and interchange-
able with them, or it
may be a special tube
'hat performs this duty
letter, but a detector
is expected to separate
the mucic and voices
from the radio fre-
quency currents which
^brought them to us.
As stated, its input ap-
paratus must have a
device for tuning it to
the preferred program.
To attempt to explain the exact man-
ner by which a detector performs this
delicate job is outside the scope of this
series of articles, but the net result is that
the radio frequencies disappear and the
program appears in the output circuits
of this tube as impulses of electrical
energy. These all travel in the same di-
rection, that is, they do not alternate
their direction of travel as the radio cur-
rents did. For that reason they are now
in a form which we call "direct current."
It has been stated several times through-
out this series that audible frequencies
are those occurring or vibrating at from
about 30 to several thousand each second.
Our direct current impulses follow each
other through the circuits which we now
add, at these rates. A very low note is
in the form of say 40 or 50 impulses each
second, while a high note may be 4,000
or 5,000.
The stages which follow the detector
are called audio frequency stages or
tubes because they handle energy only
at these frequencies. There may be either
two or three of these tubes and here we
can amplify the energy considerably more
per stage than we could before, 12 or 15
being not uncommon. Thus with two
well designed stages at a gain of 15 per
stage we can get a further amplification
of 225, or a total gain from the aerial
circuit of 164,000. Some manufacturers
claim yet more and it is possible they
get it in a 6 tube tuned radio frequency
set. This writer would hardly care to
deny such an assertion since it is theoret-
ically possible by good design and con-
struction to obtain more.
THE point is bound to come up in the
reader's mind as to where the energy
comes from that is added. One cannot

create energy from nothing. The owner
of a radio set has by now found out
that he must have "A," "B" and "C"
batteries, and that it is the purpose of
the "A" battery or "A" eliminator to
light the tubes. The "B" battery is ap-
plied to a radio set to furnish the energy
which amplifies the program to pleasant
loud speaker proportions. From it, each
of the amplifier tubes draws a minute
quantity of energy which it adds to the
vibrations passing through and in exact
rhythm or swing with those vibrations.
The result in the loud speaker is impulses
of electrical energy of considerable
strength.
One may wonder why such strength
is necessary or desirable. Sound is the
result of vibrations of the air striking
our ear drums, the pitch of the note be-
ing determined by the number of these
vibrations per second. This is actual
movement of the air, in the case of
sound, and not just "nudgings" of in-
finitesimal particles, as was the case with
radio waves. To move air to create a
volume of sound such as that created by
an orchestra or grand piano, requires
considerable energy. The transition of
energy from direct current impulses,, as
they occur in the last tube of our radio
set, to sound waves as they come from
a speaker, is accomplished by either a
thin flat plate called a diaphragm or a
large flat surface such as is used in cone
speakers.
The diaphragm of a horn type speaker
moves or flexes each side of normal po-
sition quite a good deal to give volume.
The cone speaker, having more area,
does not have to move so far to
move the same quantity of air. The
free-floating cone, or electrodynamic
speaker, which can handle the great-
est volume of all, moves a small
cone through a distance of % to J4 an
inch, which is a big distance as such
movement goes. You cannot see a large
cone speaker move, and can scarcely
eve.i feel it. The diaphragm or cone,
whichever type you may be using, flexes
or moves the exact number of times per
second of the impulses in the last tube
and moves air at that frequency. Thus
the voices and music are brought out of
the realm of electricity back to the
sound waves to which we are accus-
tomed.
THIS article would hardly be com-
plete without touching on the subject
of power tubes. It is not the purpose of
a power tube, which is the name under
which 112, 171 and 210 tubes are classi-
fied, to provide any more volume than a
201-A tube. Rather, it is their work to
handle more energy without distortion.
To get realism in reproduction, the am-
plifying apparatus and speaker should
be able to handle notes in the musical
scale which have a vibration frequency
as low as 30 per second. Now the energy
contained in such a note, when repro-
duced in correct relationship to a very
high note of about 5,000 frequency, is
over 100,000,000 times the energy to be
found in the high note.
It must be made clear that there is a
distinct difference between amplifying
ability and handling capacity. A tube
may be able to strengthen a weak signal
about seven times, when we say its am-
plifying ability is seven, yet not be able
to handle the comparatively great
energy in the low notes of a moderately
strong program. With 135 volts on the
plate of a 201-A tube in the last stage
of a receiver, it is possible to get
60-1000ths of a watt power in undistorted
output. The 112 tube can handle
120-1000th of a watt and the 171 can
pass 750-1 OOOths watt. Now consider a

He has that indefinable

popular, because lots of girls called him
up at the station. But this is getting
ahead of my story. Well anyway Bobby
was always bragging about these Royal
Canadians of Gu}' Lombardo. And he
thought the only thing to do was to
take me out there and let me meet the
boys and see them in action. So he
called a taxi and out we went, and I
want to tell you that Guy Lombardo is
the handsomest thing you ever saw. He
has stunning brown eyes, such black
hair and a kind of slow Italian smile. In
fact, all the boys are good-looking and
they are all Canadians from London,

one. They started their band way back

the power output is around 1J/2 full
watts, which is ninety times better than
the 201-A tube. The amplifying ability
of the two tubes is the same and on very
weak signals the volume would be about
equal. On a stronger program, how-
ever, where the low notes would require
energy handling capacity of 400 to 700
thousandths of a watt (see Figure 14),
the volume from the 201-A would be
much less as the energy-carrying low

but I think we'll get it all buried.
"Prohibition. Prohibition is going
down about as well as usual.
"Now, Radio audiences, I thank you."
WELL, that's certainly nice, Mr.
Coolidge. We certainly — and I
want to thank you in behalf of Dodge
Brothers and I know they will appreci-
ate your stating the condition of the
country due to the Dodge Brothers car.
And now — a — Henry Ford and Dodge
Brothers moved Americans away from
home, but it took Paul Whiteman to
provide something for 'em to do when
they got away. In the old days it was
the fashion when a man got old — all
there was for him to do was to get the
gout and make their life miserable for
everybody around him and then die.
Now, the old sucker unwraps his foot to
the interduction to the Rhapsody in
Blues and his relatives have to shoot him
to get him to quit dancing.
Paul Whiteman is the first man to find
out what to do with a band orchestration
of a piece of music. He tore it up. He
whistled the tune he wanted his men to
play and told each one to "show me at
the same time how you'd play this tune."
And what they all did turned out to be
music. There's no man in his profession
in America that stands as far ahead of
his competitors as Whiteman.
Paul took grand opera and raised it
up, and he took jazz and brought it
down, till the two met, and he originated
somethin' that if it wasn't so darned
popular that'd be called Art.
Paul, I haven't danced in twenty
years, but when you start up your music
tonight I'm goin' to grab the balance
wheel, Mrs. Rogers, and go into a hud-
dle.
Mr. Paul Whiteman of New York.
WHITEMAN SPEAKING. "For
our first number we will play excerpts
from the Rhapsody in Blue, by George
Gershwin, written especially for this or-
chestra four or five years ago."
(Rhapsody)
ROGERS SPEAKING: Dodge
Brothers didn't know it, but I'd a
worked for nothing tonight, just to git
to tell about the good qualities of the
other performers, who are great friends
of mine. They are the three outstanding
men in their lines in the world. Fred
Stone, the most versatile performer. To
have considered him and his family my
closest personal friends has been a treat.
In addition to his marvelous daughter,
Dorothy, who you have all seen, or
heard about, anyway, he has two more
girls in preparation for a stage career.
If he'd a raised boys they'd a turned out
to be football coaches, or gone to Har-
vard and become bond salesmen. Now
he's got — he gets older and shows need
of something new. All he has to do is
to sit on the stage and reach under his
whiskers and pull out another clever
daughter. If he had raised boys he'd a
had to gone to the jail to get 'em out.
1 lis career teaches a great moral — raise
Rirls and teach 'em to do som'thin', stead
of raisin' boys and tryin' to teach 'em
to do somt'hin'. So I leave you in the
hands of the most beloved actor on the
American stage, the finest character of a
man our, or any profession, has to offer.
Good luck, Fred. Hello, Dorothy.
(Chatter and greetings from members of
the Rogers family.) Mary sends her
love. She is here practisin' her dance,
now — are listen'n' to you. Better be
good. Hello.
Mr. Fred Stone and daughter, Doro-
thy, from Chicago.
FRED STONE SPEAKING: "Hello,
everybody. Ha-ha, Dorothy and I just
came off the stage. The first act of
Criss Cross is over. We are in my
dressing room, way out here at the
Erlanger theater by the big lake. The
Radios are all set up for us to dance
fifteen minutes, but we're not goin' to
dance. We're goin' to sing, and I hope
you all will have just as good a time
as we are. First I want Dorothy to
sing a little number of her own. She
wrote it herself. That is, she wrote the
words and Miss Margaret Hart com-
posed the music. She is Miss Mary
Cook at the piano and the Criss Cross
quartette to help out. Here, Dorothy,
dear."
DOROTHY STONE SPEAKING:
"Good evening, everybody."
(Goes into song.)
STONE SPEAKING: "Well, I'm
sure glad you liked that song. I can tell
by the applause that you did. I think
that's pretty good for a girl just twenty
years old in her stocking feet. Now I'll
send one over the ether for you from
my old show, "Chin Chin." It's a Chi-
nese song. The reason I pick a Chinese
song is, if I make any mistakes you
won't know the difference. If you like
this song, send me your laundry and
I'll promise to get it back by Saturday."
(Goes into song.)
STONE SPEAKING: "Well, here's
Dorothy, all ready for the second act,
and we just have time to put over one
more little ditty before we go back to
the footlights. I'm sorry Mrs. Stone
isn't here, but she's home taking care of
the other two little pebbles, and they are
working hard with their vocal and danc-
ing lessons. The stage is their ambition
and I'll leave no stone unturned to make
their dreams come true. Maybe you
wonder why I let my girls go on the
stage. It's because I love and respect
my profession and the stage needs just
such girls as mine. I love my profession
and if everybody held their profession
in as great a reverence as I do there
would be no wonder why I am so
anxious to have my daughters with me
and by my side. Everybody has a mis-
sion to perform in this world, and I
believe our mission is to help make the
public forget their cares and worries.
The stage is progressing side by side
with the improvements of every other
line of endeavor. Now I believe in danc-
ing in the right spirit, we are on the
right road not too early or too late, born
to amuse the world. Good, clean, whole-
some amusement is and always will be
considered a necessity. There's an old
adage — "A rolling stone gathers no
moss," but if you find a stone that's
rolled any further than this one, I lose.
I have rolled through every city, town,
village, burg and water tank in this
country, and I'm still rolling ... a
thousand dollars a minute. Well, I'm
going to waste five hundred dollars of it
right now, talking to Will Rogers, 'cause
I know he's listening in. Hello, Bill.
Say, Bill, what were you doing in Mex-
ico? I'll bet you were the advance agent
for Colonel Lindbergh. You old rascal.
You're some diplomat yourself. Well, if
ever you run for President again, Bill,
there's three of the Stone family old
enough to vote for you. Well, folks,
here's that last song I was talkin' about.

it's called "Wonderful Dad" from "Step-

(Goes into song.)
STONE SPEAKING: "Well, so
long, everybody. Dorothy and I are
mighty glad to have been with you for
these few minutes, and I hope you enjoy
— are enjoying the Victory program.
God bless you all. You will now hear
from Mr. Will Rogers in California."
ROGERS SPEAKING: Hello, Fred.
Thank you. Gee, that was fine. It cer-
tainly seemed good to hear you all again.
My goodness, you know I was telling
you a while ago about who wasn't here.
Well, we got quite a treat. Say, right
here by me at the table sits Graham Mc-
Namee, the greatest Radio announcer
and the most popular one, you know.
He's out here to announce the New
Year's football game. You know he
announced it the other day. It was New
Year's, wasn't it? The California cli-
mate must have got to him, for all he
spoke about was the bracing air and the
beatitiful mountains that he had flown
over that morning and the Flower Pa-
rade in Pasadena.
Every time somebody made a touch-
down he announced the color of the
lilacs, or the Johnny Jump-ups that were
used in the Beverly Hills float, but we
never did find out who made the touch-
down.
I found out how many Hollyhocks
Avas used in Glendale's float, but I don't
know yet who won the game. Here is
something that Graham didn't tell you
— the flowers on the Beverly Hills float
that won the prize was shipped from
North Carolina. Being mayor I know.
And the reason we won over the other
loats from the other California towns
i'as because North Carolina knew how
to pack their flowers and keep them in
doom for shipping better than Florida,
Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma did.
ANNA CASE SELF MADE
(Continued from page 19)
Church, of which her father was a dea-
con. As Anna Case grew older her pov-
erty was so dire that she sold soap,
helped neighbors with housework when
they had company and drove the fam-
ily horse and buggy between the village
and the station for fifty cents a trip. By
various other means she managed to pro-
vide herself with a new dress and a pair
of shoes each year.
Her only solace in those days was
music. She had been taught to play the
organ and violin and with this equip-
ment, when fifteen years of age, she
secured a position as organist in a
church at Neshanic, a New Jersey vil-
lage, six miles from her home. Rain or_
shine found her every Sunday morning
astride the family mare "Daisy" on her
way to this post to earn the munificent
salary of $12.00 a month. During these
jogging rides she planned and dreamed
of the future. Her ambition was to be
a singer. One person — the wife of a
local merchant — took an interest in her
scheme and loaned her $75.00, the only
financial assistance she ever received
toward her musical career. In the nearby
community of Somerville, a vocal teacher
was found and arrangements were made
for two lessons a week at 75 cents a
lesson. The singer made rapid progress
and in a few months gave a concert at
which she sang and played the violin,
netting enough money to pay the debt
and make the first payment on a piano.
Shortly afterward she obtained a church

left home to reside in Plainfield near the

In 1909, she met Governor Stokes of
New Jersey at a military encampment in
that state. The executive interested
himself in the career of this Jersey girl
and procured her an engagement at the
afternoon musicales at the Hotel Belle-
vue-Stratford in Philadelphia. Andreas
Dippel, director of the Metropolitan
opera company, strolling into the Belle-
vue-Stratford, heard her sing and
engaged her on the spot. The following
week she sang an audition from the
stage of the Metropolitan opera house.
Her debut followed shortly in Gluck's

her first music lesson. Since then she
has sung in every state inthe Union and
throughout many of the important cen-

soloist with the Detroit Symphony or-

ducting.
Unlike many vocalists Miss Thiede
has no operatic aspirations. True, she
has appeared as guest artist with the St.
Louis Municipal Opera but concert work
is her great love, and it was most natural
that when Radio came along it should
lure her to its fold.
A voice of great range and brilliance,
she uses it with the skill that marks a
real artist. Her musicianship is thor-
ough, and she is capable of masterly ex-
ecuting all types of songs — a requisite
when one has to appear before the micro-
phone as often as Miss Thiede.

dren's Club had got under way fully —
two children were accidentally killed.
Approximately the same proportion of
decrease holds true throughout the year.
If the lives of children are valued, it is
evident that Safety Sam, Ready Eddie,
Handy Andy and "KMOX" have done
something worth while.
HOW the trio of promoters of the club
are able to hold the attention of so
many children and their parents is a
marvelous study in simplicity. They
announce their arrival daily with the
buzz (apparently) of an airplane. Safety
Sam always arrives by 'plane, he insinu-
ates through the microphone, and chil-
dren long ago began listening forward
to hearing the whiz of Sam's 'plane,
which is actually an electric fan on a
table near the "mike."
Thereafter the speaker, whether it be
Safety Sam or one of the Twins, gives
a straight-forward talk on how children
can protect themselves from accident in
crossing the street, in school, around
home — everywhere. The talk is inter-
spersed with incidents which -carry
safety morals.
Handy Andy spends the greater part
of his time going through the club's
daily mail and telling his listeners what
he finds and reading some of the com-
munications. The postoffice delivers the
Careful Children's Club's mail by the
pouch-full, usually about five full sacks
arriving daily. The speaker talks fre-

quently of the pledge and the card, re-
minding the children to keep the card
hanging up where they can read it at all
times.
At the bottom of the card is printed
the Safety Song. Every daily program
is closed with the singing of this song.
Members and their parents everywhere
are asked to join in and sing the song
with Safety Sam and his crowd. Hun-
dreds of the letters and cards that con-
stitute those five bags of daily mail are
from children and parents, to tell Sam
that they have enjoyed singing the
Safety Song with him every evening.
An occasional contest helps to inten-
sify interest in the programs. Recently
the club offered cash prizes for the two
best safety slogans for the use of the
club. The offer .brought thousands of
replies. "Be a Safety First Talker — Not
a Jaywalker" won one of the prizes.

Potatoes O'Brien
Each housewife has her own favorite

Scald milk in double boiler. Beat egg
and add dry ingredients; add to milk.
Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens.

Spanish Patio Studio
Studios of the National Broadcasting
company at 111 Sutter street, San Fran-
cisco are designed after the style of a
Spanish patio.
The walls around the garden resemble
the exteriors of adobe dwellings. Wrought
iron lanterns hang from stanchions on the
walls and arched doors and windows
heighten the interior court effect. Potted
plants and flowers create a natural
illusion. Diffused light effects from the
windows and an artificial night sky over-
head complete the picture. The clay-red
tile floor is covered here and there with
green rugs to supply the grass and earth
effect.
A mezzanine floor for guests and visitors
overlooks the patio, from which they may
also look down upon artists performing in
the two studios.

Radio at Point Barrow
(Continued from paga, 38)
SUCCESS rewarded these hardy mari-
ners of the North and a few weeks
later as the ice went off-shore at Point
Barrow they anchored in the channel.
Old timers who have spent many years
in the Arctic Circle gasped with aston-
ishment as the young school teacher
stepped ashore. Under his arm was a
Radio receiving set, the first to arrive
on the Arctic shores of Alaska. The en-
tire village, at least all of the whites,
were on hand the following evening
when the aerial was completed and the
set hooked up. A twist of the dial
brought in the first station and music.
Astonishment appeared on the faces of
the old settlers. Leon Vincent smiled.
Then the call letters, "KOMO, Seattle,"
followed by an announcement: "You
will now hear Longine's Time Signals
broadcast by the Pacific Coast network,
of which KOMO is a member." As the
announcer pealed off his "one-two-
three," every watch was out, and when
the "bong" for 9:00 o'clock, Pacific
Standard Time, sounded, Point Barrow
for the first time in many weeks had the
correct time and furthermore the assur-
ance that no more would they be en-
tirely dependent upon the sun that was
hidden so much of the time.
The outstanding social event of the
year is . the annual visit of the revenue
cutter and U. S. M. S. Boxer, Inciden-
tally, it is Point Barrow's only oppor-
tunity to find out what has transpired in
the previous year in the great civilized
world "outside." What political scandal
the U. S. Senate is investigating, whether
there has been a new war in the
Balkans or Central America, latest de-
velopments in science and invention — all
are topics of great interest to the cit-
izens of this northern post who have
been shut off from their fellow-men for
an entire year. Last summer, however,
between trying to assimilate as much of
the year's history as possible during the
visit of the Boxer and listening to the
music on Leon Vincent's Radio set, the
Point Barrowans had a busy time.
Late one evening as a group was
listening to KOMO came the announce-
ment that next would be the summary
of news for the day broadcast by the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Again the
possibilities of Radio were demonstrated,
as the listeners heard news that not
even the boat's crew had heard — the
story of the capture of a noted criminal
in Louisiana; the burning of a $100,000
building in New York; the latest gang
war sensation in Chicago, Cincinnati's
prospects for a pennant-winning team,
and other items.
A second great problem in Point
Barrow's life had been solved and ever
since that day last summer, according to
a letter received by KOMO, Point Bar-
row has enjoyed a daily newspaper of
its own — the North Pole edition of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. An old hand-
driven mimeograph machine was resur-
rected for the purpose of publishing this
bulletin which contains Associated
Press, International News and other
news service items assimilated by the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer for its daily
broadcast over KOMO.
Judging from the letter it is hard to
tell which is regarded with the greatest
importance by the citizens of Point Bar-
row— the standard time signals, the
music and entertainment or the daily
summary of news, all of which have been
received from KOMO since Leon Vin-
cent arrived to take up his work as a
government school teacher, bringing
with him a Radio set.

vaudeville. Then they settled down in
Cleveland and were so well liked they
were there about four years. Did you
ever hear them play Rose Marie? Well,
when Carmen and Guy heard that a
little sister was born they decided to
name her over the Radio, and they told
their parents to listen in and they would
give her a name. They played Rose
Marie. Every year they play Rose
Marie for their little sister on her birth-
day. I couldn't find out whether they
were married or not. Carmen and Guy
just smiled those baffling smiles that
annoy us girls so, and there you are.
Then I went back to the studio with
Bobby and stayed up till he signed off.
It was certainly a big night.
While I was up at WBBM I met Nate
Caldwell and Mrs. Caldwell. Now there
is surely a contrast. Nate is a blond
with blue eyes and an engaging smile and
Mrs. Caldwell is a slim young thing with
the loveliest black eyes and naturally
brown curly hair and, my dear, they are
still crazy about each other although
they have been married about two years.

What with Sam V Henry leaving
WGN and going to WMAQ, this office
has just literally been swamped with
telegrams and letters. It just kept me
busy calling up WGN to find out where
they were going and had gone. And
now Sam 'n' Henry are going to change
their names to Amos 'n' Andy. For
heavens sakes how can I keep track of
them. Well, here's how they look when
not Sam 'n' Henry. Freeman Gosden is
a tall slender young man with blue eyes
and very light hair. He isn't married.
Charles Correll is six inches shorter and
a little stouter and has dark hair. Mr.
Correll came from Hatteras, North Caro-
lina, and that explains everything. He's
married, girls, so that's that. They really
are a nice looking pair.

Hu-Chin Plays Jazz
(Continued from page 36)
the rest of the world, the demand for
more hu-chins increased. It is now
heard everywhere— although the more
fashionable would not dare to be seen
playing one in public. It would be much
the same as to expect one of your
temperamental American artists' going
on the stage with a beggar's hand organ
and monkey — too humiliating," declared
Mr. Hsiang.
The younger element learns to play
without the parent's knowledge, and
takes secret pride in being able to per-
fect the use of the instrument. The
young Chinese frequently organize hu-
chin jazz bands for parties and larks by
themselves.
The hu-chin is about three feet long,
and consists chiefly of the neck or handle
with an octagonal sound chamber at
the end. Over the top' of this sound
chamber a snake skin is stretched tight-
ly. The pitch of the tone is dependent
upon the size of this sound chamber. It
may be tuned by twisting large wooden
plugs at the end of the neck to which
the strings are attached. The bow is
made of bamboo and horse hairs. The
strings of the bow pass between the two
strings of the hu-chin, and the notes
are produced by either bearing down on
one string or lifting it up so it strikes
the other.

WITH THE AMAZING
REESONATOR
TRADE MARK
The Reesonator is an instrument designed to balance the antenna
to the receiving set and increases the volume and selectivity of your
machine. It will enable ycu to play with dance volume stations which
are barely audible or sometimes entirely inaudible without it. It will also
decrease battery consumption 30 per cent, as you do not have to apply as
much power to obtain the desired results. It does not require tuning
for every station you receive, only when additional selectivity or distance
is required. It is attached externally to the machine and can be attached
by any one in a minute. Reesonator as illustrated is especially designed
for Atwater Kent Models 30-32-35-37, Radiola Models 16-17 and Crosley
Bandbox, Apex and Day-Fan machines. On the above machines, the
REESONATOR is connected in parallel between the antenna and ground
posts. When ordering, state type of machine on which Reesonator is to
be used. Equivalent to two extra tubes in your machine.

MARCELLA
(Continued from page 123)
top of a Radio set and underneath it
said, "Barbara Ann, first appearance
January 27, 8 lbs. Y\ oz." And Pat is
just too pleased for words. He says she
is absolutely the most beautiful baby in
the world. That's his story and he
sticks to it.
I liked Harold myself, Mrs. J. P., and
was glad to tell you about him. Now as
to Jack and Gene. They are so mis-
chievous that it is awfully
hard to get any real infor-
mation out of them. Every
really serious question they
met with such frivolous
remarks that Marcella was
more than a little down-
cast. For instance, when
asked if they were married they seemed
to take it as a perfect joke. Of course,
they are terribly young. They both
have medium brown hair and blue eyes.
Gene Carroll is tall and* s'lim and Jack
Grady is shorter and heavier. Don't
they look as if they had awfully nice
personalities and dispositions? They
used to sing in vaudeville
and met four years ago
and decided they would
like to team and so the}'
have ever since. Jack plays
the piano and Gene plays
the harmonica and guitar.
While Miss Alexander of
WLS was sending me all this material
on Jack and Gene she mentioned the
fact that June of May and June was
married on Valentine Day to John Brown
of WLS. Wasn't that romantic?
Miss Inquisitive, you ask me where
Jack Nelson is. When I wrote and asked
him his present whereabout, he sent back
a clipping from last month's Digest
speaking about a little Miss Nelson. This
is what he says. "I had to cut the en-
closed clipping from the Digest out so
that my twenty months old son wouldn't
see that part about "little Miss Nelson."
He'd be after you for that. Such a
husky brute — little Miss Nelson — he'd
be insulted! Thought you knew he was
Jack, Jr., and he's not so little either."
My goodness, what do you think of that?
Anyway, Jack has deserted the Mike
for the present. He is the Radio advisory
department of an advertising agency.
Really I begin to feel like a matrimo-
nial bureau. You remember that KFRC
brag about an entirely unhooked staff?
After that appeared they ali
began to get attached.
Now here's the latest, Har-
old Peery has gone and got
married. That pretty Helen
O'Neil is still single and so
just to get even with all
these big husky men who
outside of their station for
brides when she's there, I'll use her
picture. Really now, isn't she a dear?
* *
Somebody asked me about John Patt
and Leo Fitzpatrick. Now there just
isn't the slightest use in thinking too
much about either one of these attractive
men. They are married. John was
that young announcer at KFKU. He
also worked with Leo at WDAF. When
he was in the University of Kansas, he
fell in love, and was married last June
in Pueblo, Colorado. John is certainly
good looking. He is tall and slim and
has a pair of wicked blue eyes.

KYW has a lot of new voices since
John Clark left. Maurrie Wetzel, the
chief announcer, moved over there from
WCFL. My, there is a man with ideas.
He says he married a blonde although he
preferred brunettes. Isn't that a cute
way of saying it. But he really is a per-
fect gentleman. You should see him
running around when he is conducting
a program. That handsome Ivan Jones
presides at the microphone. Fie has
pretty curly brown hair and brown eyes
and is really too attractive. He came
here from KOMO Seattle. Then there's
that Stanley Houston, who just tried to
vamp Marcella right off the bat when he
turned his blue eyes on her. Gee I wish
I had that picture of Stanley made up so
you could see it. He has an impish look,
curly hair and is not married. Matty
says a room full of stenographers just
stop work when he arrives.
Elizabeth Ann, do you know I still
haven't that information on Bobby War-
ner and Harold Pratt. Isn't that terrible?
Will you forgive me? You
see you forgot to tell me
where they are and I just
can't guess at it. But
Harry Lucke who used to
be at KTNT came in the
office the other day and
he knows Carl Menzer.
He says he is very good looking and that
he flies up to Chicago. In fact, flying is
his hobby. Isn't that interesting. Per-
haps, Clare, who wrote me that lovely
letter about him will think this is the
third reason he is not married. I just
can't see why he doesn't come to see
Marcella.
* *
I want to thank everybody who sent
in information about Plarry Snodgrass.
The last heard of he was playing in
Columbia, S. C. about February 21. He
is only about five feet four inches tall
and has a shock of black hair. He has
settled down in Johnson City. Pennsyl-
vania, and his child is in school there.
The cutest letter came in here last
week. Here it is as is: "Dearest Mar-

ask me who lone is. Yes. sir. She is 'it.' "
Still wondering how you found me out,
(Here he draws the cutest picture of a
villain saying curses I am foiled.) We
are heading south from here on this trip,
ending up at Nashville, Hot Springs,
St. Louis, Kansas City and back home to
KOIL in the spring— then look out.
(Then he shows the cunningest picture
of two little birds on a branch with a
nest over head.) Of course, it might be
a rainy season! Well we must get busy
and prepare some new songs. What a
life! As Oilways, Ned Tollinger Mona
Motor Twin."
I just heard about the sweetest
romance. You remember John Clark and
Malty of KYW and how we kidded along
last summer? Here is the
real low down on the mat-
ter. That pretty and at-
tractive Polly Willis met
Matty on the street, you
remember Polly, she was at
KYW in the early days,
and Matty, of course, said
come up and meet the old gang. Which
she did and Matty said that as soon as
John Clark met Polly his heart must have
done a few handsprings because the
next night he met them going somewhere
for dinner. Well, John admitted it him-
self and he says she is the loveliest girl
in the world and my dears, in fact, he
hardly had time to speak to us the last
time we saw him at KYW, because he
was taking the train for Freeport, that's
where Polly is teaching school. Well
anyway John says it will happen some-
time in June. Now here is the funny
part of it. Polly is an old Radio star
and John is an old Radio announcer and
yet they never happened to meet until
Matty introduced them. Matty says
he's going to buy himself a bow and
arrow and pinch hit for Cupid. There's
something about these announcers that
surely gets we girls. Now Polly will
have to live in Springfield because John
Clark is director of WBZ.
Even if the Windjammer is not located
his running mate the Bell Boy, Ted
Hediger, has been. Ted is appearing be-
fore the microphone of KWK; incognito
as Fred Hermen, his two first names.
Glad to hear from you Mr. Hermen.
Drop us a line again when anything
exciting or thrilling happens.
Radio Finds Gold Treasure
(Continued from page 10)
with large emeralds and a large pearl
drop.
"One of the finds was that of a very
large cross worn by priests three hun-
dred years ago. Another was a long
gold ball chain, each ball being an inch
in diameter. There were a number of
crosses set with diamonds and other
stones. Numerous articles were en-
crusted with rubies, emeralds, turquoise,
pearls and diamonds. One piece resem-
bling a tower is believed to be a part of
the headgear worn in ceremonials by the
old priests."
Subterranean passages were hewn
from the rock by slaves in the old days
and there are many legends of how the
people brought their private treasure to
the priests to be secreted from the
threatened onslaught of pirates. It was
in these passages the treasure was hid-
di-n. When Morgan arrived and began
Itis pillage the tunnels where the treas-
had been concealed were flooded.

Today's big-pay field is Radio. It's rapid growth from a two

ness that has been created. The work is easy, fascinating, inter-
esting. Salaries range from $50 to $250 a week in the best jobs.

you will have worked out just the kind of problems that come up —
not with toys, but real Radio parts and sets. Thi6 kind of training

AGREAX NEW RECEIVER
SCOTT CHALLENGES THE WHOLE
WORLD OF RADIO TO ANY KIND OF'
COMPETITIVE TEST
The New
Scotl Shield
Grid 9 was
designed by
E. H. Scotl,
designerofthe
World's Rec-
ord Super 10,
which prior
to the advent
of this new
model held all
records for
Radio Set
performance.
More Actual Amplification • "More Distance and Volume
than Any Other Existing Receiver Known to Us
This — we believe, is the most powerful, the
most selective and the finest toned receiver
in existance today. We draw this conclusion from hav-
ing tested and scientifically measured every other re-
ceiver which might claim itself the equal of the SCOTT
World's Record Shielded Grid NINE. And there is no
question but that this radically new type of receiver
will maintain its position of obvious superiority for years
to come, for the features of circuit engineering respon-
sible forits amazingly better performance are far ahead
of any circuit developed to date.
UNLIMITED RANGE ! Without aerial, ground or
loop, the SCOTT Shielded Grid NINE brings Pacific
Coast Stations to Chicago with loud speaker volume.
And so tremendous is the amplification of the shielded
grid longwave amplifier employed, that it is impossible
to determine a range limit for this receiver when used
with a short antenna and a connection to ground.
ShieldcdGridTubesUsed
in an Entirely New Way
Standard circuits commonly in use with the
newshielded-grid tubes, provideactual amplification of
approximately 40 per stape. The revolutionary new circuit used
exclusively in the SCOTT Shielded Grid NINE, gives a prac-
tical amplification of 140 per stage, thereby making this receiver
Required!
many times more powerful than receivers using; shielded-grid
tubes in a conventional manner. It is this new circuit arrange-
ment developed and used exclusively by us which enables us ta
challenge the whole world of radio toanykind of competitive test
with assurance that the SCOTT Shielded Grid NINE will win.
Only One Stage of Audio
The second detector output of
this receiver is so heavy that
concert volume and clear, undistorted cathedral tone,
even on the most distant stations, is obtained with but a single
stage of 2 to 1 audio frequency amplification.
Easy to Build "' Results
Gliaranf£f;d Despite the fact that the
VWa&aill,«.VU Scott Shielded Grid NINE
is one of the most elaborate receiving systems ever de-
vised — and despite the fact that it embodies many
features, of circuit arrangement not known to common
practice, it is a very easy set to build, and when you buy the
kit of parts we positively guarantee that you will get the same
results we get from our laboratory model. Both panel and sub-
panel are drilled to receive each part and the shield-grid ampli-
fier units come to you fully wired and tested — ready to be con-
nected into the circuit just as though they were a transformer.
WhyPayMore/brLess?
Why pay more than the small costof the Scott Shielded
Grid NINE when no other receiver of-
fers you so much? Why not have a receiver
which provides actual 10 Kilocycle selectivity
lies
regardless of where located? Why not have
a receiver with which you can listen in on all
the world— no limit to its distance range. The
Scott Shielded Grid NINE is, unquestionably
the finest, most powerful, most advanced re-
ceiver of the day, and is, beyond all doubt,
destined to hold its position of leadership, - %

The Perfected
Invention of
Dr. J. Harris Rogers
Celebrated War Time
Naval Radio Consultant
The eminent scientist, Dr. J. Harris Rogers is
known the world over for his research work and
successful accomplishments in the line of under-
ground and underwater radio transmission and
reception. His invention, the Rogers Underground
Antenna for reception of waves within the B.C.L.
band is, unquestionably, one of the most important
radio advancements of the year.

Made under exclusive
license in accordance
with patents of Dr.
J. Harris Rogers Nos.

ANTENNA
"Provides Clear, Loud Reception
Regardless of Weather ^Increases
Distance and Volume with Any Set
7 'HE ILLUSTRATION at the right shows a
typical installation of the Rogers Underground
Antenna. As there is but little static in the ground,
this Rogers unit delivers clear, strong, radio im-
pulses to the receiver, thru the shielded connecting
cable. And think! How much easier it is to install
the Rogers Underground Antenna than it ia to
climb around on a slippery roof hanging up a wire
which collects as much static as it does radio waves.
That radio waves, unspoiled by static and less
affected by weather conditions, travelled thru
the ground was the belief of Dr. J. Harris
Rogers. Test after test proved his contention.
On nights when weather made reception from
distant points impossible with an antenna suspended in
the air, reception was clear, steady and loud when taken
out of the ground. Static has little effect upon ground-
wave reception, and it was found that ground waves usu-
ally exceeded the strength of air waves even when the lat-
ter were at their best. It then remained for someone to de-
velop a device with which these clear, strong ground waves
could be intercepted and brought to the receiving set.
Followed more years of research, more experimenting,
more practical tests — all resulting in the Rogers Under-
ground Antenna — developed and perfected by Dr. Rogers,
himself — the product of a lifetime of study — a proved de-
vice, successful wherever used and offered to you with a
positive guaranty of money back if you are not satisfied.

BEAUTY in voice, personality and
physical charm are rarely found
combined in one individual. Fortunate
is the exquisite Jessica
Dragonette who embodies
all three of these desirable
graces. Therefore she was
decided upon from a list of
twelve candidates to adorn
the cover of this Radio
Digest. Next came the
selection of an artist whose brush could
do justice to her portrait. Guy Hoff,
famous illustrator, was awarded the
commission. Miss Dragonette is known
to Radio audiences throughout the coun-
try. She belongs to the National Broad-
casting company galaxy and is heard
regularly of a Wednesday night during
the Philco Hour of Light Opera. Some
estimate of her popularity may be
gathered from the fact that the Philco
company has received over 25,000
requests for her to sing Memories.
OUR Winter number will bring to you
the heart of the world's Radio
broadcast situation. There will be an
especially interesting article on Radio
programs in foreign lands. Writers in
France. Italy, England, Germany, Spain
and Japan are sending special articles to
Radio Digest with information as to
what the various peoples think of Radio.
APOLOGIES to our many good
friends who have been patiently
waiting for this, our Autumn number.
The wheels in Washington move slowly
and sometimes they do indeed grind
exceedingly small. The reallocation of
wave lengths was expected to have been
completed so that we would be on the
news stands throughout the country
early in September. However, the ex-
pected information did not materialize.
To go on the stands with an obsolete log
would be contrary to every principle
and purpose of Radio Digest. All other
type matter was in readiness and wait-
ing for the last word as to the new
wave lengths. When the lists finally
were received and sent by telegraph
from Washington by our Washington
correspondent the corrections were
quickly made and the magazine put to
press. You may have the satisfaction of
knowing that your Radio Digest is the
first national magazine to have this
important information at your disposal.
YOU who voted in the great interna-
tional orchestra popularity contest
doubtless have heard over the air the
announcements that the champions have
received their gold and silver plaques.
The plaques are unique and especially
valuable in that they have the profiles
of the winning leaders sculptured in
enduring metal to last for all time as
mementoes of their success. It was a
bard fought contest but well worth
while and Radio Digest is happy to have
sponsored the enterprise.

Seed Houses Make Radio Pay
COME on, you specialized high powered salesmen, meet Mr.
Henry Field, proprietor of KFNF, Shenandoah, Iowa.
Mr. Field doesn't know a lot about Wall street and big com-
bines. Never goes down to New York; just 'tends to his
business in the Henry Field Seed house and sells to folks
'round home over the Radio and makes money. Yep, he
brought in $3,000,000 for the last fiscal year.
Earl May, another seed merchant in this same town of
Shenandoah, who won the Radio Digest popularity Gold Cup
for 1927, is a competitor in the same line and does his talking
over Radio Station KMA. While his last financial statement is
not available at the moment his profits for the year probably
were not far one way or the other from Mr. Field's. _ Besides
that he built a huge auditorium to take care of his Radio guests
who come in legions to see the studio "performers."
Day of the Racketeer
AUDIO pictures send shivers up and down the spines of
some of the musicians' unions. In certain sections there is
just a touch of glee over the situation where the unions have
fallen into the hands of unscrupulous racketeers. These un-
representative leaders have gradually been killing the goose
that lays the golden egg. Extortion reached such a stage in
Chicago that the ancient and honorable Chicago Symphonyor-
chestra was wrecked, after a service of approximately thirty
years. Owners of 52 theatres in an attempt to resist the
demands of the officials for renewals of contracts offered to
submit their books to disinterested auditors to show that they
would be running at a loss if they were compelled to hire the
minimum of four musicians. To this the spokesman for the
union is said to have replied, "We are not interested in that.
What you make is your problem, not ours." Yet the owners
would not dare to operate in defiance for fear of losing their
union operators, their union stage hands and union janitors,
with smashed apparatus and stink bombs in the offing — sad
lessons of the past. The public has no quarrel with union
organization — in principle it is fine, and in most cases it is
just as dignified and honorable as any other business organ-
ization in negotiating and carrying out its contracts. Musi-
cians individually are inclined to be refined, aesthetic and of
artistic temperament rather than hard boiled bruisers. They
are, therefore, the more susceptible to the two-fisted control of
overlords not of their kind. This alliance doubtless brings
them more money but in the long run is it really good busi-
ness? One big chain theatre organization in Chicago has
made it plain that it soon will be in a position where it will
cease to deal with the musicians' union for any services
whatever.
Programs a la Soviet
RADIO Commissioner Harold A. Lafount has proposed that
every station making application for renewal of license
shall submit a list of ten names of leading citizens of the
community to act as an advisory board in arranging the sta-
tion's programs. This board is to act without pay and to see
that the station serves in the "public interest, convenience
and necessity," according to the provisions of the Radio law.
Mr. Lafount comes from the Pacific coast zone where people
are more neighborly and help each other out without monetary
consideration. The idea would not be at all practical east of
the Mississippi. Imagine volunteer committees of ten telling
the New York stations how to make up their programs!
Radio to Salvage Human Wrecks
A N article in this issue of Radio Digest from a convict in
■**• the Ohio state prison calls attention to the great good that
may come from Radio to individuals who have become out-
casts from society. It may prove a potent salvage agent and
bring some of these men back to useful careers. Westing-
house recently published a letter from George Holmes, former
school teacher in the government employ, now confined in the
Iowa state penitentiary. The letter was addressed to Uncle
Bob at KYW. It said in part: "It may surprise you to learn
that 600 of us who have headsets connected with an A-K 32
outfit listen to you often as you kid the kids. . . . To me
Radio programs are a liberal education. One instance: Wal-
ter Darnrosch in one of his talkfests made a remark in regard
to music which aroused my curiosity — one of those rare ideas
which serve to expand one's intellect and makes it necessary to
tie around and find material to fill the resulting void. One
■ one I draw out and read all the books in our rather com-
prehensive library touching on music. I never did find just
what I sought but, man dear, you'd be surprised at the pleas-
ure and profit I got out of the quest." In a postscript he
adds: "I can't remember the man's name who puts over the
Twenty Minutes of Good Reading, but will you please tell
him that he is very popular here. For some reason, we not
only enjoy his stuff, but like him personally. I realize that
praise or criticism from a lowly convict might be considered
the absolute zero in commendation or condemnation." The
letter is signed, "George Holmes, No. 12452, Iowa State Prison,
Fort Madison, la." Make your own editorial comment.
Radio Movies and the Family
MOTION pictures by Radio — first a dream and now a
reality. The accomplishment can be credited to no single
individual any more than Radio itself can be credited as it is
today to Marconi. With the development of the Neon gas
tube the next advance was largely the work of skilled
mathematicans. We might almost have expected the evolution
of the scanning disc from Professor Moulton or Einstein, if
either had happened to be directly interested in the problem.
As a matter of fact, the moving picture broadcast was merely
a by-product of the research made by Dr. Frank Conrad of
the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company. Dr.
Conrad was first engaged in audio film development.
Having perfected that device he became intrigued with the
idea of putting the film picture through the Neon tube and
making it move. Utilizing what already had been devised it took
him but a few weeks to build a machine capable of presenting a
moving picture by Radio. Now that it has been done once it
can be done any number of times. The prospect is that our
Radio receivers are going to be made so attractive that we shall
resent any effort whatever to move us from the home fireside.
Is this not a natural step in the destiny of mankind?
There has been a great deal of worry that the home is going
to ruin. All the members of the family are always wanting to
go somewhere so that the family circle is little more than a
myth. Each member of the family has his own diversions.
But as the Radio receiver becomes more and more fascinating
it is plain to see that some sort of fate has now come to the
rescue to preserve unto humanity the unity of the family circle.
The luxury of a comfortable chair in a cozy room and freedom
to speak or move about will possibly make hard competition
for the future theatre and other places of amusement.
Campbell Goes to United Artists
HAROLD E. CAMPBELL, for three years chief engineer
for WLS, the Sears-Roebuck station, Chicago, is one of
the many technical, as well as art experts, vamped into the
movies from Radio. He began a new contract with United
Artists as recording director of the audio film September 1.
A GREAT many small stations, operating on 10 to 50 watts,
are recommended by Commissioner O. H. Caldwell. There
should be one such station for every community of 10,000, he
thinks. It should serve in the same capacity as the community
or country newspaper.
KDKA, the first broadcasting station, will be eight years
old November 2. Now look at 'em!
If you don't like the programs the station director wants to
know why and what you do want. Write to him.
MEMBERS of Radio commission have gone on record
that they hope to make the present allignment of broad-
cast channels fairly permanent. The announcement, whether
it be for better or for worse, doubtless will be received by the
average listener with a deep sigh of relief.
"Dynamic" is a new word coming in strong in Radio lingo.
How much did you win on your Radio stock?
Hope the new allocations suit you fine.
Just wait. Maybe W. R. H. will amalgamate the N. B. C.
By the way, how come there is no call "WRH"?
Maybe the old DX days will return with the new allocations.

QALLI-CURCI Not Self Confident Until Rehearsed Five
Times; Titta Ruffo Upset by Loud Speaker; Deep Sea
Diver Completely Flabbergasted
By William Burke Miller
IN AN endless procession, celebrities come and go before
the microphone but its apparent lack of response seems
to rob them of the confidence and well-being with which
they otherwise meet the public. A famous aviator, an
explorer, a popular hero, a celebrated actress, a musician of
world renown, a figure of international importance, on the
same evening may appear before this instrument of chrome
steel and duralumin but to none does it offer encouragement
or censure. Cold and alone it sits enthroned unperturbed.
In a month this monarch receives
thousands at his court, but he never
acknowledges them except through
the recognition of his countless sub-
jects— the listeners — who, as did the
Roman lords of old, turn thumbs up
or down on those seeking favor.
And it is this knowledge, probably,
which affects the great more than it
does the embryo musician who is not
always so conscious of the millions
who give him hearing.
A greater number of famous per-
sons visit the National Broadcasting-
company's studios in New York
than anywhere else, for celebrities in
every field appear there at one time
or another on the political, educa-
tional, religious or musical programs
arranged for nation-wide broadcast-
ing. Picking at random from a list
of those who have spoken through
the NBC system within the last sev-
eral months, one sees the name of
practically ever person who has fig-
ured in public life.
PLAINLY , Jeritza, the great prima
donna, was worried when it came
her turn to face the microphone. She
tried to reconcile her past experiences
with the present. They simply didn't
click. When she saw curious eyes
peering down on Iter from above she
ordered the curtains drawn. Alone
with Mike she sang only as Jeritsa
can. How would you feel before an
audience of more than a million ?
Trader Horn almost knocked Alike
off Iiis feet. Even Gene Tunney was
nervous. Mr. Miller tells a fascinat-
ing story of famous people before the
microphone and how they performed.
into Studio H, the auditorium-studio on the fifteenth floor.
While asking questions about microphone technique, someone,
not aware of Ruffo's request, turned on the expotential horn
and flooded the room with music. Ruffo jumped across the
floor and yelled: "I thought you said it would be quiet here!"
The horn was shut off. Yet with his cue from the conductor,
Ruffo forgot everything save his song. Between selections,
however, he made motions' to the monitor, through the double-
glass window, to learn how he had "miked."
Galli-Curci visited the studios for
five rehearsals before broadcasting
in the Victor hour. On these visits
she questioned the directors, asking
if there was any difference between
the broadcasting microphone and the
one used for phonograph recording.
Her husband and accompanist, Ho-
mer Samuels, came with her on these
visits and listened from the control
booth while she rehearsed. Fortified
by these rehearsals, Galli-Curci ap-
parently was in command of herself
when she sang, although the eyes
from above disturbed her as they had
Jeritza.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., sat at a
table when he broadcast and read his
speech from a copy. He showed lit-
tle or no nervousness after he began,
although his voice was noticeably
freer toward the end of his talk than
at the beginning. His son was in the
studios with him and listened atten-
tively to a loud speaker in the con-
trol booth.
AMONG these will be found Tra-
der Horn, Commander Richard
E. Byrd, Madame Galli-Curci, Edith Mason, John D. Rocke-
feller, Jr., Rosa Ponselle, Elsie Ferguson, William S. Wick-
wire, Gene Tunney, Tom Heeney, Henry K. Hadley, Amelia
Earhart, Titta Ruffo, Governor Alfred E. Smith, Herbert Hoo-
ver, President Coolidge, Charles Evans Hughes, John W. Da-
vis, Baron von Huenefeld, Capt. Herman Koehl, Maj. James
Fitzmaurice, Samuel Insull, Eva Le Gallienne, Richard Crooks.
Madame Jeritza, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, William T. Cos-
grave, President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free
State; President Machado of Cuba, Daniel Frohman, Raymond
Hitchcock, James T. Powers, F. Trubee Davison, Charles M.
Schwab, Nicholas Murray Butler, John Erskine and others.
Jeritza and Titta Ruffo, who are known for their self-assur-
ance on the operatic stage, showed bashfulness before the
microphone, although their performance did not indicate this
to the listeners. But to those in the studio it was another
story. Fear for that ever present but unknown quantity called
"temperament," directors and assistants had taken many pre-
cautions to insure the best possible results. Every member of
the staff was on his toes for emergencies.
Several hundred persons were present in the National
Broadcasting company building when Jeritza sang. They
crowded about the windows on the fourteenth floor which
look down on Studio B. The prima donna, seeing the eyes on
her from above, requested that all windows be curtained while
she sang. This was hardly completed before she burst into
tears and paced up and down. A moment later the announcer
called a warning and Jeritza attempted to control herself. She
caught up a wrap and put it about her shoulders, took out a
lip stick and powder as though she were about to walk out on
the stage. When announced, she stepped before the micro-
phone, glanced appealingly to the announcer, then toward the
orchestra conductor, and began to sing as only Jeritza can.
RTJFFO, upon arriving at the studios, asked that he be taken
to a room where it was absolutely quiet. He was shown
THE three fliers, Baron von
Huenefeld, Captain Herman
Koehl and Major James Fitzmaurice were in too rare a mood
upon reaching New York to be upset by the microphone. The
two Germans obviously were more concerned in expressing
themselves in understandable English. Many will recall
Koehl's delightful phrase when introduced at the dinner given
by the City of New York, "I vil no long speech make."
Trader Horn was another to whom the microphone meant
nothing. He, too, was rehearsed for his sponsors feared his
lack of teeth would make it difficult for Horn to be under-
stood. This was overcome, however, and on the night of his
broadcast two hundred persons were sitting around the studio.
The old African trader was seated at a table with his back to
the orchestra and audience.
The microphone was on several books on a table adjusted
on a level with Horn's face. As he launched into his narrative,
however, he forgot prepared lines which were cued to the
music and threw his arms widely about and attempted to
turn around toward the audience. Two announcers were in
a panic as they saved the microphone from the waving arms
and tried to keep it in position. As the Trader turned, one
of them would deftly lift the microphone and hold it before
Horn's mouth. This went on throughout the program and
none knew just which way he would turn his head or just
when the waving arms would cuff the microphone and send it
tumbling to the floor. But certainly no person could say that
Trader Horn stood in any awe of the bit of machinery.
Gene Tunney was not at ease in the studios. He stood and
read stiffly, although his voice registered very well. Com-
mander Byrd was himself before the microphone. He had
prepared his speech in advance and in timing it he was cau-
tioned not to read too slowly. On the air, however, Com-
mander Byrd told his story simply and the Southern drawl
was evident even though stop watches were compared and
the program director suffered agonies with visions that his
program would not be completed on time.

Even the dauntless heroes of the Great Outdoors suffer tremors
in the presence of the simple little microphone.
• f~\F THE popular heroes of the year, William S. Wickwire,
y~S navy sea-diver, is outstanding. His courage and quick
thinking under stress were amply demonstrated when life
and death depended on his nerve when the United States
submarine, S-4, sank. Wickwire was one of the divers to
establish communication by slow, painful hammer taps, with
the six imprisoned in the torpedo room who were given a
little reprieve on life
and later doomed / j
when bad weather
and a rough sea
prevented the res-
cuers from con-
tinuing their strug-
gles. In addition to
his code messages
to the entombed
sailors, Wickwire
saved a fellow di-
ver who became
entangled in the
wreckage.
Wickwire was in-
duced to appear on
the Collier's Radio
hour and give to
the nation the
actual difficulties
which beset the
rescuers, who were
then under a cloud
of doubt for appa-
rent inactivity.
The diver was
wearing dark tan
shoes when he
came into the stu-
dio. He had writ-
ten out a few notes
for reference. As
soon as he was in-
troduced, Wick-
wire's face was
bathed in perspira-
tion. He stuttered
and gulped as he
began to talk. The
paper in his hand
rattled and was
heard by many lis-
teners. As he con-
tinued he breathed
with difficulty and
his face turned the
hue of his shoes.
After he was off
the air his first
words were expres-
sive.
"Gosh, that was awful. I'll go under
the sea any time, but I don't want to
talk to one those things again."

MANY listeners will recall the Collier
Hour when Tom Mix, favorite
two-gun moving picture cowboy, talked
to the Radio audience. Poor Tom, who
has been through a thousand perils with
his loyal steed, Tony, approached the
microphone with suspicion and perspira-
tion. He sensed a tremendous force
back of the innocent looking little disc of metal. He seemed
to feel a million eyes peering at him through that little hole
into which he was to speak. And because he could not see the
eyes but knew they were there, he trembled. It is the ever-
present consciousness of critical, listening strangers off there
in the darkness with no visible evidence of their attitude
toward the speaker that seems to terrify. So Tom talked
into the little spot, which he afterward said would make a good
bull's eye for a long-shot target, and stuttered. However, his
evident shyness, considering the character that he plays, no
doubt won for him only increased admiration on the part of
those who follow his adventures on the screen. This may be
said especially of the little folk to whom Tom addressed the
most of his remarks.
Would Tom Mix or any others of the notables have been
better received had their broadcasts first been rehearsed and
put on the new form of record in perfect form? That is an
• periment that probably will come with the developments
of Radio broadcasts of the near future.
By the smile on this pretty face you
would almost guess her title at the
KMTR studios. Yes, sir, she's Miss
Louise Howatt, the "Happiness Girl."
Sings contralto, plays piano.
.AUL WHITEMAN is sitting pretty as everybody
'knows. Fame and fortune are now tucked securely in-
side his capacious belt. He is the undisputed king of
Jazzland. Columbia just signed a long term treaty with
him for a king's ransom. No more worries about where the
rent's coming from. No wrinkled brow on the weekly pay-
roll problem. He's up on the throne and sittin' pretty. He's a
self-made king.
BUT time was —
not so very far
back — when Paul
Whiteman had to
pack along a mess
of worries just like
anybody else with a
few extras.
He was born in
Denver, March 28,
1890, and grew up
there. His father
was director of mu-
sic in the Denver
public schools. So
the biographers
might say he was a
born musician. At
17 he was playing
viola in the San
Francisco Sym-
phony orchestra
and had already
made his mark.
Just about this
time, or shortly be-
fore, a form of
syncopated rhythm
seeped out of a
cabaret in New
Orleans. It was
catchy. Paul thinks
it happened in 1915.
It spread over the
country. When he
heard it Whiteman
felt the portent of
something big and
new. He wrote the
first orchestral
score and called it
jazz. Then the war
came. Whiteman
became leader of a
navy band. After-
ward sick and pen-
niless he struggled
with his big idea
for a new foothold.
He even starved
himself to have
money enough to pay his men and keep
them together — that was in San Fran-
cisco.
Just while the whole band was blue
enough to take a deep shade of indigo
without instruments there came a call
to open the Ambassador hotel at Atlan-
tic City. That was their first trip east.
Their success was instantaneous. Next
they were called to the Palais Royal in
New York and there Whiteman, the
new discovery, was introduced to Lord
Mountbatten, friend of the Prince of Wales. The next step
was to London where the Whiteman orchestra was the sen-
sation of the season of 1923.
Then back to the homeland where he made concert tours
back and forth across the continent, hailed everywhere as the
master and chief of the realm of Jazz. He made phonograph
records and the records have sold into the millions.
"Our country," says his genial Highness, "is not the child-
ishly jubilant nation that some people seem to think. Behind
the rush of achievement js a restlessness of dissatisfaction, a
vague nostalgia and yearning for something indefinable, be-
yond our grasp. That is the thing exressed by that wail, that
longing behind all the surface clamor and rhythm of jazz. The
critics may call it Oriental, Russian or anything they like. It is
the expression of the soul of America and America recognizes it."
Under the Columbia banner he is looking forward to new
laurels and if there are any laurels that he hasn't already had
it is promised that he will get them. See Paul Whiteman's
picture as he is today on page 8 of this issue.

9TOA Will Resurrect Old West
crMlRACLE of Radio Drama Invoked to
Bring Ancient Race Back to Life
the encroaching whites threatened the
extinction of the Redskins; the battles
among the Indians themselves; the stir-
ring days of the sturdy pioneer; the
thrilling trek of the Mormons with their
indomitable faith, and all the exploits
and stimulating adventures associated
with the Winning of the West.
"It is our hope to present all of this
in a very dramatic form. There will
be no hokum. Just the plain facts are
far more exciting than any novel ever
dreamed by our boyhood idol, Nick
Carter."
A few weeks ago Mr. Talbot took a
trip East, where he visited the Radio
headquarters of the General Electric
company, which owns KOA. He dis-
cussed his plans with the chief execu-
.
Miss Martha Wilcox,
Spanish dancer, to help
vitalize era of Spanish
conquest. Typical pros-
pector of the Old West.
FREEMAN H. TAL-
BOT, big, broad
man of the West, is
just about the type
of person you would ex-
pect to be in charge of the
mile high broadcasting sta-
tion, KOA, Denver.
He is a man of culture
and a man of the open,
and his enthusiasm never
fails. He has undertaken
a program of large pro-
portions, and when the
series of broadcasts he has
mapped out has been fin-
ished Radio listeners who
are fortunate enough to
have heard them will know
a whole lot more about
history, early days of the
country and Colorado in
particular. Mr. Talbot made this announcement:
"Our tentative list will embrace the following sub-
jects: Santa Fe Trail, Oregon Trail, Pony Express,
Kit Carson, Buffalo Bill, Lieutenant Pike (of Pike's
Peak fame) and Wyoming."
Once again the old West will live. By the magic
of Radio the characters emblazoned across the pages
of history, legend and stories that seem half real and
half myth will come to life. Cowboys, Indians, scenes
from the old gold rush camps, early settlements, all
will be vividly portrayed by incident, and often with
actual characters or descendants of those exciting days,
before the microphone.
"We are going to make sure that every detail is
authentic," continued Mr. Talbot, "as we put the facts
into dramatic form. We are going back to the days
of the cliff dwellers and repeople this territory with a
race who lived and left evidence of a high degree of
civilization that existed from 500 to 800 years before
the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.
"\X7^E WILL present the coming of Cor-
' » onado and the Spaniards in search of the
seven cities of gold; the constant warfare as
tives at Schenectady and was told to go
ahead and make a good job of it. Every-
thing possible will be done to have the
proper materials and people to make
this broadcast pageant just as enter-
taining as it is instructive.
"If a scene calls for the dramatization
of an old dance hall," said Mr. Talbot,
"you may be assured the dance hall
will be a replica of some specific dance
hall that actually existed at the period
depicted. If it necessary to shoot a few
microphone artists to add the proper
color; well, we'll see which ones we can
spare.
"Incidentally we are going to make
a permanent contribution to the music
of the country in the resuscitation of
quaint cowboy ballads, songs of the
pioneers and the authentic — mark that
word AUTHENTIC— music of the
Indians and the early Spaniards. To
make sure of the authentic emphasis we
will employ for the research work such
experts as Dr. Harold Loring, former
appointee of Theodore Roosevelt to
study Indian music; Jean Allard Jean-
con, formerly curator of the state mu-
seum and recognized authority on the
early customs and prehistoric life of
Colorado; Dean H. Dickason, world
traveler and lecturer; Courtney Riley
Cooper and others of that class.
"This intermountain territory is the
oldest and yet the newest land in the
world," said Mr. Talbot, discussing
again the aboriginals. "If geologists
are right, here was the original Garden
of Eden, and in the course of these his-
toric broadcasts we expect to tell the
people about this land which has more
antiquities than Egypt or Assyria; of
the famous river which flows overhead;
of the Hopi rainmakers; of the famous
rivers of stone; of the apartment houses
containing as many as 500 rooms, built
over 1,000 years ago; how the people
today telephone for rain and get it; of
the gruesome Hopi snake dance, and
of Acoma, the city built in the sky."
This is just a
glimpse of the am-
bitious plans of
Mr. Talbot for his
station that broad-
casts from a mile
high above the sea.

Connoisseur or
When Leon Belasky takes up his violin
in the KFWB studio at Hollywood the
Spanish artist, Xavier Cugat, sees a
trembling heart pierced with Cupid's
dart. Such are the tender sentiments
stirred by the Russian's bow. Belasky
also directs string quartet.
"Ai
MAN may have his work and a hobby," is a rule
that many a successful man has followed. The hobby
keeps a man from going stale on his work, and in
'many cases the hobby has eventually assumed enough
importance so that the hobby became the work and the work
the hobby.
But what about a man who has three hobbies and no work?
Or, if you prefer, three lines of work and no hobbies. Imagine
his embarrassment if a new acquaintance should inquire,
"What line of work are you in?"
Such is the predicament of Cugat, the violinist, or De Bru,
the caricaturist, or Xavier, the famous collector and dealer
in Spanish antiques in Hollywood. For, to be absolutely
honest, Xavier Cugat, for that is his real name, doesn't him-
self know whether he is wedded to his bow, his lightning pen
or to the cool vastness of the loft building where as a busi-
ness man he deals in antiques of Old Spain that go back to
the Moorish invasion.
At one time he
thought the musi-
cian in him was to
be his guiding spirit.
He had been soloist
with six of Europe's
best symphony or-
chestras — Berlin,
Paris and Barcelona
know this disciple of
Sarasate. He came
to America as an
assisting artist for
the Great Caruso,
did concert work
and branched out
into musical com-
edies when he di-
rected a Winter Gar-
den show for the
Schuberts.
Then he came to
Hollywood, that
crazy-quilt city of
the leaping celluloid,
entranced by the
thought of laying
aside his violin to
take up a hobby of
his as a business.
Vernon Rickard,
formerly of WGN,
Chicago, is now tenor

soon he -will be a star

Artist-Business-Man?
On the thirteenth floor of Hollywood's largest skyscraper
he has what is considered the most perfect collection of gen-
uine Spanish antiques in this country.
Into the plot now comes another hobby to disturb the
routine of Xavier, the collector, and Cugat, the violinist. To
amuse himself in leisure hours Cugat has for many years
made caricatures of famous people with whom he has been
thrown in contact from time to time. One day he made
one for a famous star during a party at her house. The star's
press agent saw it and asked permission to have it printed.
It was granted. Ten days later one of the world's largest
fan magazines wired De Bru, as he generally signs himself
on his caricatures, that they would buy two pages each month
of caricatures of well-known motion picture people. A news-
paper syndicate then offered to take a page of caricatures
weekly for Sunday rotograveure sections, and the great news-
paper of Mexico, El Universal, asked if he would come to
Mexico City as a staff artist for the paper covering the entire
Americas for them.
"But I could not go," ex-
plained Cugat. "I have my
business in Hollywood and
besides I like to play my vio-
lin, too."
So in Hollywood he stays,
despite offers to De Bru as
the caricaturist and to Cugat,
the violinist. Once each week
he plays a concert over
KFWB, bringing with him
Carmen Castillo, whose voice
he believes more nearly ap-
proaches the great Raquel
Meller than any he has ever
heard.
And Manager Gerald King
of KFWB is happy and con-
tent, for where can you find
a more ideal combination than
a great artist whose magic
bow before the microphone
draws listeners as sugar does
flies or flowers draw bees.

listeners Decide A. B. C. Music
S\QORTHTFEST Chain Builds Programs
Based on Public Vote Contest
Marjorie Le Voe, above, helped
bring fame to KYA, San Fran-
cisco, of the American Broadcast
Chain by winning the Golden
Apple in a beauty contest. Gus
Hail, right, is the wide awake
sports announcer over KEX,
Portland, Ore., a member of the
ABC chain.
IN THE Pacific Northwest, Radio has been the means of
developing a deeper seated appreciation of music in all classes.
As yet, a rather new section, the arts have not gained that pre-
eminent position they hold in many of the older communities,
and time alone will open a more advanced understanding of fine
music to the masses. Radio is becoming a prime mover in the ad-
vancement of music and literature and for that reason more atten-
tion is being given the quality and type of entertainment broadcast.
Some of the methods employed by the broadcasting companies
in determining the type of programs to present have been program
votes, artist votes, station popularity votes, and the American
Broadcasting Company operating the A. B. C. chain of four sta-
tions in the Northwest, even went so far as to sponsor a program
planning contest through each of their four stations, including
KJR, Seattle; KGA, Spokane; KEX, Portland, and KYA, San
Francisco.
In this program planning contest, which lasted over a period of
eight weeks, the entrants were invited to prepare and submit a
program of the type they most enjoyed. For the best plans sub-
mitted cash prizes were awarded ranging from $50 to $500.
The statistics afforded, and which have determined to great
extent the program policy of this chain may
be summed up as follows: Seventy-five per
cent preferred semi-classical and classical
instrumental programs interspersed with
vocal ballads, fifteen per cent preferred lighter
instrumental programs, with occasional sing-
' ing, five per cent preferred light vocal pro-
grams and five per cent leaned towards read-
ings and dialogues.
Although striving to vary their programs
with interesting and novel interspersions of
a high order, a representative program over
the A. B. C. chain originating in the studios
of KJR, may be outlined as follows: Open-
ing with health and setting up exercises sup-
ported by a five piece orchestra, the morning
broadcast includes musical selections from
light operas and popular music played by a
five piece all-artist organization, domestic
science hints, news items, and songs of a
lighter type. The afternoon program opens
with a lunch hour concert by a twenty piece
orchestra, a program by a stringed trio, a
mid-afternoon broadcast of newly released
popular numbers, a tea hour classical concert
by the twenty piece orchestra under the di-
rection of Francesco Longo, internationally
known pianist, and a late afternoon broadcast

"cherry Old Chief " Rules WJ R
(TXormer King of Kansas City Night hawks Instills
Vivacious Spirit in Detroit Station
Gentlemen first: And it's the
Merry Old Chief himself in
the center, now known as Mr.
Leo Fitzpatrick. Miss Thelma
Bow, above, teammate of
Bernice.
TIME certainly is working fast with
the Radio game. It's a big shift every s
year — change in styles of entertain-
ment, improvements in apparatus, and
change about of personnel at the studios and the stations.
Sometimes as you lean back in the old Morris chair, the
smoke curling lazily about your head and the strains of
the Pompahloozah orchestra come lifting clear and natural
from your latest reproducer, do you not wonder what has
become of some of the voices you used to hear?
Remember the old thrills, the extremes of elation and
exasperation as you twisted the whimsy dials, dodged static
and conflicting waves, and finally pounced on the DX sta-
tion you knew should be at approximately the same point on
the configuration of the dials it had been the night before?
For instance, remember that jolly hilarious hour of mid-
night on WDAF at Kansas City, and the Merry Old. Chief
of the Nighthawks? You fiddled around the whole evening
trying to pick them up while your blooping neighbor was
swatting and sideswiping every wave for forty miles around.
But suddenly he pulled the switch, turned out the lights and
folded himself into bed. The whistling ceased, you got a
chuckle from, the Merry Old Chief, a snort from the trom-
bone, a sweeping sigh from a fiddle and a moan from the
big bassoon. Remember the thrill?
Oh, boy, betcher life you do!
Well, where's the Merry Old Chief today? There's a
voice you'd like to hear. He certainly isn't at WDAF any
more.
HERE'S a tip. Try WJR, Detroit. Maybe you'll hear
him, maybe you won't. But that's where he is just the
same. He's been there two years now. He's got John Patt
with him, too, for first assistant. Oh, no, no, he's not the
Merry Old Chief of old — he's Mr. Leo Fitzpatrick, vice presi-
dent and general manager of one of the smartest and most
popular stations in the country. But it was the Merry Old
Chief that put him there, and it is the spirit and heart of
the Merry Old Chief that makes WJR the breezy, popular
station that it is today. You remember the two Patt boys
at WDAF? Well, Mr. Fitzpatrick felt he simply couldn't get
along without one of them, so he sent for John, and together
Bernice has spent six pre-
cious years of her young
life as official accompanist
for the Red Apple club and

Bow.
they have put the enthusiasm
and ginger of old in the Detroit
station.
. The capable and successful
broadcast station of today is a four square institution with
one face on a par with the other. It must have an artistic front
and a social front; it must have a technically efficient front
and a business front. With all four fronts well established
it is a four square success, and WJR is a four square station.
On the artistic front stands Jean Goldkette, musical director
of the station. Mr. Goldkette enjoys national fame for his
genius both as a director and concert pianist. His name heads
a dozen orchestras playing in Detroit, Chicago and Kansas
City. Goldkette orchestra Victor records are in big demand.
It would be hard to find a more able and talented person
to supervise the artistic front of WJR.
The_ social side of the station has been very carefully built
up to include many popular features, educational and religious
phases and special entertainment for various members of the
family household.
The station's educational features are admirably designed to
suit the requirements of Radio presentation and to meet the
demands of listening. Gordon Higham, world traveler, writer
and poet, is educational director, with Miss Jessie Bonstelle,
nationally famous actress and play director, as counsel for
WJR's dramatic activities. Mr. Higham, in addition to his
many writing activities, is an ordained minister of England,
but his speaking activities have recently been limited to Radio
and banquet work. His specialty at present is the WJR
Recreation Hour, from 2 to 3 o'clock daily.
JOHN B. ECCLES is the studio director of WJR, in charge
of maintaining all studio schedules for rehearsals and pro-
grams and assigning microphones to various programs. He
also is an announcer, handling many of the station's studio
programs.
Neal Tomy, pioneer in Detroit broadcasting and for six
years chief of the Detroit Free Press Red Apple Club, is
manager of WCX, which is affiliated with WJR in presenting
the National Broadcasting company Blue Network programs.
His pleasantries continue to delight Red Apple Club audiences
on Tuesday nights and, in addition, (Continued on page 14)

Although WHK is one of the oldest
broadcasting stations in the state, and
the first one in northern Ohio, it has
made its most notable progress during
the past six months when it stepped its
time on the air up to an additional 45
hours per week. This makes available
the Columbia chain programs. A new
$20,000 organ also has just been in-
stalled.
The management is making a strong
bid as an instrument of real public serv-
ice by broadcasting special programs
from the Cleveland Museum of Art and
especially entertaining lectures by staff
representatives of the Museum of Nat-
ural History. Four of the leading dance
bands in Cleveland contribute regularly
to the popular entertainment.
The station stands firmly on its own
resources and presents a number of cap-
tivating commercial features, including
the Bureau of Broadcasting Modern
Housekeeping and Cooking School,
beauty talks, shopping hints and a par-
ticularly interesting feature conducted
by Ethel and Harry who discuss the
things that interest themselves and all
young people from day to day.
The station is managed by the "Three
Howletts," M. A. Howlett, general man-
ager; Harry Howlett, commercial man-
ager, and F.ric S. Howlett, program
director. Short wave broadcasts and
television will be announced soon.

Loraine Lancey, hostess and first ac-

most popular accompanist, having re-
ceived her training in New York under
the prominent piano teacher, Franklin
Cannon. She was for a time associate
accompanist at WGHP, Detroit, com-
ing to WJR in October, last year. She
also is a member of the team of "Jane
and Ruth," popular vocalists, and teams
with Prudence Butterficld, associate
WJR accompanist and pianist.
Pianists may come and go, but "Ber-
nicc" has achieved more popularity than
all others on Radio. For six years she
has been the official accompanist for
the Red Apple Club of WCX, and more
recently has teamed with Thelma Bow,
Balaban & Katz mistress of ceremonies
and blues singer, for a series of weekly
programs on WjR.
Olive Sharman is director of Women's
Activities at WJR and personally has
charge of the WJR Modern Housekeep-
ing and Cooking School. John and
"Prudy," the ncwlyweds who conduct
the WJR Shopping Service, and the
Homemakers' Hour are also under her
supervision. She spends much of her
time preparing new and interesting con-
tinuities for the evening broadcasts.
Recause WJR has been recognized
as performing a great public service, its
business side has become an important
factor in the community. Commercial
interests have found its facilities of real
value in reaching an appreciative pub-
lic. Judicious and attractive presenta-
tion of sales propositions have aug-
mented rather than diminished the pres-
tige of the station. Thus, the station
has proved itself stable and a paying
institution rather than the liability under
which so many broadcasting stations
have been classed.
TODAY technical improvements have
practically eliminated the old-time
blooper. This has been effected both
in the receiving and transmission end.
WJR has evolved the best possible
transmission, so that the station prob-
ably is the best known of any station
in the state over its area.
The engineering department is headed
by M. R. Mitchell and Andrew Frieden-
thal, both "old timers" in the wireless
field. Mr. Mitchell, who is an inventor
of many electrical specialties, and most
recently produced a wave trap for finer
tuning on all makes of old sets, is chief
engineer in charge of the transmitting
plant near Pontiac, Mich., with a staff
of picked operators under him. Mr.
Friedenthal is in charge of the Detroit
control board, supervising all monitor-
ing of programs, including rehearsals
and actual broadcasts. Under him are
John K. Harper, chief remote control
engineer, who also is in charge of the
Book-Cadillac Hotel studios, and Colin
P. MacLellan, in charge of the new
Fisher Building studio broadcasts.
Other operators are Frank Graham and
Frank Jennings.
Thus stands WJR, the castle of the
Merry Old Chief, four square and pre-
eminent in the world of broadcasting.
Sometimes you may hear the Merry
Old Chief himself at the microphone,
and he is still merry, still bubbling with
enthusiasm, alert and ready to be of
service to everyone — the personification
of the spirit of his station, of which,
by the way, he has become part owner.

^BAP Cuts Big Melon - Patch
WIRED HAND Broadcasts Garden
Giants to Friends Across Continent
W;
'HOEVVAH saad Geogiah was de greates' watahmellion
state in de Union ain't nevah been nowhah whah watah-
mellions grow. Texas is de kingdom of de big daddy
mellions of dem all. Yass, sah!" And there are a lot of
people in the United States thoroughly convinced that the traditional
Nemesis of the luscious watermelon is right. They have been unmis-
takably impressed by evidence that cannot be questioned, thanks to
Mr. Harold V. Hough, famous wit and philosopher-announcer at
WBAP of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
As to the scope of the evidence here is a clipping from a recent
issue of the National Broadcasting company's printed announcements:
McNamee Has Southern Admirer
The finest treasures of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms have
been offered from time to time as gifts to Radio stars by an adoring public.
All manner of presents have made their appearance at the National Broad-
casting company's studios in New York, including barrels of oysters, wearing
apparel, jewelry, candy, imported sweetmeats, animal pets and gold fish.
Graham McNamee, NBC announcer and baritone soloist, recently received
from an admirer in the South a watermelon of generous proportions.
So it appears the Hired Hand, as Mr. Hough is known, has been
broadcasting watermelons as far as New
York. It would be interesting to note
just how far these prodigious melons
have "carried." Could it be possible a
melon from the melon hearted an-
nouncer reached California or Wash-
ington state?
Radio Digest solicited a photo of the
miraculous patch where these giants
grow. It was hoped that through these
columns it could be proved that this was
just ordinary and regular, in the soil of
the Lone State state, and that water-
The seeds sure did spell
something like "Um Yum
Yum" if that's Japanese.

melons are only in proportion to the
men, native to Texas. But the Hired
Hand wrote back that their melon
patches were nothing to look at and
utterly devoid of picturesque qualities.
The melon that arrived at our house
weighed 88 pounds and filled a galvanized washtub
almost to overflowing. When an 88-pound water-
melon starts to overflow it is time to resume dis-
cussion of the flood relief situation.
IT WAS a hot day. Trailed by four husky
youngsters dad toted the tub and the big melon
to the lawn beneath the pear tree. The melon
was rolled out on the grass for inspection, and
for the envious gaze of the neighbors in the big
kitchenette apartment building adjoining. The news
spread quickly. Little guests began making im-
promptu calls. They came, singly, doubly and in
droves. The big Texas watermelon was the center
of attraction. There were many questions.
"What is it?"
"What's it look like, can't you see?"
"But it really isn't, is it?"
"Don't be goofy. It came from Texas."
"But it isn't a reg'lar watermelon, is it?"
"Of course, and it's got the Japanese Emperor's
name spelled out with the seeds inside."
^Oh, what a fib!"
"You wait and see."
"Is it a Japanese melon?"
Hired Hand, alias Harold
V. Hough, at the mike put-
ting 88 pound melon on the
air from Fort Worth to
Chicago and other melons
for points north, east and
west.
"Say, Japanese don't grow that big,
do they?"
"Well, it's not a reg'lar watermelon,
I know."
"I don't know. Maybe it's a Radio
melon. It came from the Hired Hand
at WBAP, Fort Worth."
"Oh, I know, that's at 96 on our dial."
"Did they broadcast it?"
"Oh, you silly!"
"I'll bet it's hollow inside."
"Here comes the knife." Marshal,
aged six, was given the honor of making
the first incision. He had no fear. Very
quickly it was demonstrated that there
was not one speck of hollow anywhere
inside. Big, juicy, sweet, and still cold
from the refrigerator car.
And there was enough for everybody
to have until he could eat no more.
The reference to the Japanese Em-
peror originated in a sentence in the let-
ter from the Hired Hand stating that
the melon was en route. It said:
"Please note that your name is spelled
out in the arrangement of the seeds.
There has been some mix-up in the
patch, however, on account of so much
political Radio static. So it may be that
the melon I was raising for the Emperor
of Japan got in the wrong pen, and if
you can't read your initials, you will
know you got the Jap melon through
clerical error. It has been hot in Texas
this summer, but we are all happy.
Plenty of crops, cows and congressmen.
We raised a new batch of each."
And, sure enough, there must have
been a mistake because the arrange-
ment of the seeds certainly looked more
Japish than they did English, as may
be seen from the photograph shown on
this page.
Radio plus giant watermelons with the
Hired Hand as chief administrator will
make Fort Worth famous yet. And it
may come true that Georgia will after all
have to yield the melon palm to Texas.

THIS Radio— what next?
Day by clay the picture is changing.
Science, the great magician, rolls up its
metaphorical sleeves, shakes a watch-me-
now finger and tosses into the cornucopia the
old-fashioned phonograph, the modern Radio re-
ceiver, a moving picture projector, a roll of film,
a few miscellaneous tubes, Radio and photo-
electric— and watch close — see what comes out !
Something long, dark, an artistic piece of fur-
niture?
Ah, a console combining a phonograph, a
Radio receiver, a silver screened speaker and a
moving picture that speaks, sings and plays !
Perhaps we are little too previous in anticipat-
ing the contents of the magic cornucopia. But
such a console certainly is no farther away than
just around the corner, considering the develop-
ments that are already acknowledged facts.
The YVestinghouse Electric and Manufactur-
ing company positively announces, without
equivocation, that it will, "within the next few
weeks," begin broadcasting MOVING PIC-
'I URES from its pioneer station KDKA, Pitts-
burgh ! Perhaps it has already begun as these
lines come into print.
Where you find moving pictures these a-days
you find audio-pictures, and absolute control of
the basic patents that make sound pictures pos-
sible is in the hands of the A. T. & T. and the
Radio Corporation of America.
An official of one of the largest picture
theater chains in America told this writer that
the whole moving picture industry has passed
Over night into the control of these transmission
corporations.
So it would seem that the solemn announce-
ment of the Westinghouse company that it is
now ready to broadcast moving pictures regu-
larly from its key station in Pittsburgh is de-
cidedly significant. Coupled with the announce-
ment officially authorized by the Westinghouse
company is the incidental comment that the
Radio Corporation of America will produce and
market the receiver thai will bring the KDKA
moving pictures into the home.

copia and we will have the audio picture and

then the console combination an-
ticipated above !
A few weeks ago the majority
of our Radio experts smiled
cynically when television was
mentioned. If you persisted they would finally,
with a great show of patience, try to tell you
why television was something for the "far dis-
tant future." It would not be this year, or next,
but possibly in the next ten or a dozen years.
Too much high speed machinery to be syn-
chronized over long distance would be neces-
sary, they explained.
Dr. Frank Conrad, chief research engineer
for the Westinghouse company, has been work-
ing with the moving picture film for some time.
In fact, he had already successfully made it pos-
sible to record full reels of music and pre-
arranged programs. Such a reel could be
attached to the transmitter and broadcast a
whole evening's program from grand opera to
jazz with the spoken announcements inter-regis-
tered as required.
This in itself was a tremendous achievement
concerning which little has been said, although
all the Westinghouse broadcast stations are
equipped to operate these records when desired.
While working with the standard sized regu-
lation moving picture film in its sensitized form
and otherwise, the idea began lurking in the
back of Dr. Conrad's head that after all, it
would be possible to broadcast the little pictures
shown in the film rectangles, 1x^4 inch. To be
sure it would be necessary to flash these pictures
on a screen at the rate of 16 per second, whereas
by the existing method it took many seconds to
complete one picture.
He began working out some high powered
mathematical calculations until he arrived at a
very_ satisfactory theory. That was at the be-
ginning of the summer just passed. Then he
began drawing on the resources of the Westing-
house laboratory for the construction of new
apparatus. He built a sort of camera deyice and
Dr. Frank Conrad, assistant chief engineer of the Westinghouse company, is seen here
with the device he perfected for broadcasting moving pictures. The receiver is represented
by a similar device. Blank white moving picture film is shown in the picture as it appears
before the pictures are developed. The black disc revolves, the reel of film unwinds, tiny
rays of light shoot through the holes in the disc and through the moving picture into a
photo-electric cell and the movies are "on the air." The Westinghouse company states
that KDKA is prepared to send out a regular broadcast of moving pictures for the fans.

a black metal disc with tiny square holes
in precise order near the outer edge. He
rigged up a peculiar kind of light that
would shoot a sharp, clean ray through one
and all of the little square holes in the edge
of the revolving disc.
Then, with infinite pains, he geared the
motor to turn the disc precisely as a tuning
fork registered exactly 5,000 cycles. Oper-
ating on this exact frequency he was able
to synchronize motors operating the disc at
the receiving end with the disc at the trans-
mitting end.
As the disc revolved before the trans-
mitter the light shot through each little
hole in turn and touched a tiny spot of the
picture film. If the ray from one little
square hole struck Tom Mix's white shirt
it passed into a photo-electric cell and sent
a hot surge of current through to the trans-
mitter, but if the beam through the next
little hole struck Tom Mix's black hat it
stopped there and the photo electric cell
left that spot dark by withholding any cur-
rent to the transmitter. The little holes
pass so quickly before the light that it would
seem, if you could follow the movement
with your eye, that a pencil the size of a
needle point was scanning tiny lines back
and across the picture — 60 lines to each
picture. It covers sixteen of these pictures
per second. And so, when these little dots
of varying strength, according to the lights
and shadows of the picture, come into your
receiver with such rapidity, the picture
actually seems to move as you see it on the
screen in the theater.
After describing how the photo-electric
cell, which looks like the ordinary Radio
I
tube, functions by passing electric current in exact
proportion to the amount of light it receives, the
Westinghouse description of what happened at the
demonstration before all the chief officials of the
Radio Corporation of America, General Electric,
National Broadcasting company, and Westinghouse,
goes on to say :
"The beams of light have now become electrical
Probably the most thrilling Radio broadcast rec-
ord of the year was sent out by the Australian-

Howard Melaney, the singing foreman of the Northern Pacific railway, is doubtless the
champion marathon Radio artist of the world. A traveling music critic heard him singing
as he oiled his engine on a mountain in Montana two years ago. That led to an audition.
Now he sings to millions and travels 4,000 miles every week to keep his engagements.

impulses and are sent to the broadcasting
station. Here the beams assume definite
and varied frequencies, some of which are
audible. Dr. Conrad states that these fre-
quencies range from somewhere near 500 to
approximately 60,000. . . .
"At the broadcasting station these fre-
quencies are transposed on a Radio wave
and transmitted exactly as the ordinary
music or voice. The Radio signals now can
be sent across a room, or across a conti-
nent. Their distance range is limited only
by the broadcasting station's equipment.
"In the Westinghouse demonstration, the
signals traversed a distance of about four
miles ; two miles from the laboratory to the
broadcasting station by wire, and two miles
back to the laboratory by Radio.
"To turn these Radio waves back into
light, an arrangement which permits the use
of a mercury arc lamp is used. By this
adaptation the weak Radio currents control
the action of the many times more power-
ful current operating the arc lamp (similar
to the amplifying powers of a Radio tube).
"Thus the mercury arc lamp goes bright
or dim as fast as the current changes and
its light at any instant is in proportion to
the light that the electric eye sees in the
same instant. To return the dots of light
to their original pattern another revolving
disc or scanner is also used to correspond
with the transmitting scanner.
"The use of a mercury arc lamp permits
the Radio pictures to be thrown upon a
groundglass or screen, the first time this
has been done with television apparatus"
The primary elements of transmitting
pictures were in existence before Dr. Con-
rad took hold of the movie phase of it.
His contribution was a feasible method of
synchronism.

Dad Neptune "Sings" at WPG
c^ytJRINE Studio Lives Up to
Its Name with Sea Atmosphere
By Ethel Rattay Fowler
And Uncle Si Hoskins, four miles up the road from
Raspberry Corners in Grass county, can hoist his boots
on the old cane bottom chair and tune in all the cursory
comment Father Neptune may be uttering at the moment.
You can't fail to feel the briny atmosphere after such
a greeting. Then perchance we have the thrill of a big
splash and Air. Reed tells us that one of the Hawaiian
High Divers has just shoved off from an eighty-foot
perch and disappeared beneath the wave — what ho ! He's
up again — blowing and snorting and ready for another
tail spin into the sea.
And the program continues with suggestions through-
out of the rolling waves and the people who master them.
"Sea Memories" is an interesting feature. The Musical
Maids, an instrumental trio, bring suggestions of white
sand and mermaids. Josh Kitching with his banjo brings
visions of the sunny Southland. Sometimes he makes up
for an old darky and that is when those who come to peek
through the portholes enjoy him most.
Citizens of the inte-
rior find WPG a great

agement never fails to

this particular charac-
teristic.

architect and a ship's interior decorator — if there is any
such animule. You find the studio embroidered with
portholes, a ship's wheel in the pilot house, ropes, life
pr< ervers and boats to make the illusion complete.

S/fcARCELLA SAYS "Original Radio Widow
Admits Being Graham's Harshest Critic
By Marcella
«(
wi
'ELL, well, if it isn't Marcella," exclaimed Mr. John-
stone, when I walked into the publicity office of the
National Broadcasting Company, New York City.
"How would you like to run up and see Mrs. Graham
McNamee this morning?"
I don't need to tell you what I said. To meet the wife of the
World's Greatest Announcer ! What would Josephine McNamee
look like? I really felt a little shy of going in and asking her all
sorts of questions. This Mrs. McNamee might be very haughty and
she might not like blonds.
Their apartment is not far away from the National Broadcasting
Company building on Riverside Drive. I can't tell you just where,
because I was so excited and nervous I paid no attention to the
streets ; as you all know, I haven't met very many wives, and then
to meet the wife of the most heard of announcers. It seemed just
a minute before Mr. Johnstone and I were climbing out of the taxi,
entering the pleasant homey apartment of the McNamees, and I was
shaking hands with Mrs. Graham.
I know you are all terribly anxious for me to tell you just what
she looked like. Of course, she wasn't any of the things I imagined.
She is quite short and dainty, and her simple powder blue silk dres
was very becoming. She has blue eyes and black hair. Her
manner is the important thing about her. Although she is gay
and sparkling, she has a restful efficient way of taking care of
you. I felt at home at once, especially when she made me sit
down beside her on the couch. We sat there chatting away
like old friends.
I could see why Mr. McNamee depends
upon her so much, and I want to tell you if
he ever gets to the White House, she would
make a perfect president's wife. I couldn't
help but think of this because when I was
"HELLO, honey, gee,
this is a wild moo
and it's hot, hot,
HOT! Well, what's
the bad news this
time?" Graham Mc-
Namee always calls
his wife in New York
for ver'dict on his
broadcast wherever he
may be.
"HELLO, dear, I'm afraid
you aren't feeling so -well
tonight — your voice falters
a bit. You turn away from
the mike too much. And I
must caution you not to say
'and so' quite so often."
there, the Democratic convention was being
broadcast.
Look at her at the telephone. There she
is, talking to Mr. McNamee late at night.
\ When he is away on some big broadcast, he
pP^ always calls her up after the broadcasting
is over, and it may be any time between
midnight and four in the morning, to ask
her how it came through. She sleeps with the
telephone beside her. Ihink what devotion that
means !
You'd never dream to hear her talk that she had
been married seven years. I think that speaks well
for her husband, don't you? She used to be a
singer herself and that's the reason she has such a
lovely voice, but she says there isn't room for two
careers in one family and Graham's is so much
more important.
Here she jumped up with such an expression of
consternation that I was quite alarmed.
"Please excuse me," she explained, "but Gra-
ham's just going on the air and I listen to every
J>, broadcast. Then I can tell him whether it is good
or bad. I am afraid I am his harshest critic. You
know, when everybody is praising a man, someone
has to keep his feet on the ground, even if that something only weighs 102
pounds. Look what happens to these announcers who have no wives to
keep them on the earth."
As she turned on the Radio set, the familiar voice of Graham McNamee
filled the air. We waited until he finished describing the great hall where
the Democratic convention was being held and a very tiresome speaker
got up and talked at great length about something political. I can't tell
you what, because we stopped listening as soon as Mr. McNamee stopped
announcing and didn't listen again until his voice was heard.
"Don't you ever praise him?" I asked above the noise of the convention.
"I never praise him except in a conservative way and then he knows that
I mean it. I often wire him, suggesting changes here and there. For
instance, you have probably noticed what a large vocabulary Graham has, but it is
easy to use one word too much. When he begins to use the same word a great deal,
I tell him about it. That helps to keep his descriptions from getting tiresome."
"Yes," she sighed in answer to my question about missing all the
big events, "I do have to miss seeing many important things because
if I am there, I can't hear the broadcast. You can't get the effect
if you are sitting behind the announcer. You have to be at the other
end of a loud speaker. There was one football game I really
enjoyed. That was the Stanford-Pittsburgh game in Pasadena.
Somebody loaned me a little portable set and I could listen to the
broadcast and watch the game at the sametime. One of these days
I am going to have one to carry with me."

Movement Has Meaning
HAWAIIAN WRITER Explains Motive of
Native Composers Is to Interpret Beauty
By Gwenfread E. Allen
Special Hawaiian Correspondence.
WHEN you "tune in" on a program of Ha-
waiian music, do you ever stop to wonder
what those dreamy songs of tropic isles
mean? Is one song the same as the other,
all a jumble of Hawaiian words and meaningless
titles?
Nearly all Hawaiian music commonly heard, and
especially that comprising popular programs, is "mod-
Songs of flowers frequently have the word "pua,"
"flower," or "lei," "a wreath of flowers" in the title.
• Every place of Hawaii also has its song. There are
"old Plantation" and "Beautiful Kahana" (Kahana
being a valley several miles from Honolulu), written
by the same composer. There is "Ainahau," which
tells of the home of the romantic little Princess Kaiu-
lani, one-time heiress-apparent to the Hawaiian
throne. There are
"Palolo" and "Pauoa,"
which tell of valleys in
Honolulu.
"The Beach at Wai-
kiki" conjures up mem-
ories not only of the
beach and of "sweet
brown maidens," but of
other aspects of Wai-
kiki. Flappers' Acre,

ern music," written within the last fifty years. But
even the "latest hits" were written with a purpose,
and that purpose was not to raise money for some poi
and sweet potatoes, but to interpret some beauty of
the islands.
To the "malihini," or stranger's ear, Hawaiian
music is sometimes doleful. But never to the Ha-
waiian^ It is always sweet, sometimes sadly sweet,
but it is more often musingly poetic. Hula music,
songs written especially for dancing, are always
bright and gay.
Nearly all Hawaiian music centers around two
themes, nature's beauty, or love for a beautiful girl.
jpVERY flower of Hawaii has its own song. The
*^ sweet smelling green maile vine, the royal yel-
low ilima of the Island of Oahu, the bright red lehua
of the Island of Hawaii, the fragrant mokihana of the
Island of Kauai, the rose-lani of Maui, the pikaki, or
jasmine, all have formed the basis for beautiful songs.

more brilliant than artist ever dared, moonlights such as the tropics
only know. Torch light fishermen. Surf board riders. Hau tree
lanais, flaming hibiscus. All woven in the plaintive strains of "The
Beach of Waikiki."
"Hanohano Hanalei" is a song of that beach on the Island of
Kauai where broad expanses of sand are added to Waikiki's charm.
Hanalei, to island residents, also brings visions of flooded fields of
green rice and sky blue reflections. And the music brings pictures
of hula girls, whose lithe bodies and graceful arms weave intricate
patterns in telling in interpretative dance of the beauties of Hanalei.
Some of the places usually have in their titles the words "wai,"
"water," or "kai," sea. Sometimes they sing of "lani," the heavens.
There are several songs of all the islands in which a verse is given
to describe the beauties of each island. Most popular of these is
King's "Na Lei o Hawaii," in which the symbolic flower of each
island is described. But, the Hawaiians will tell you, the song is
not really about each flower at all, but about the beautiful girls
whose charms, each island boasts, are as lovely as the flowers from
which they weave
their leis.
THE golden age of
Hawaiian music
was during the latter
part of the nineteenth
century, when a trio
of royal song writers
were living. King
Kalakaua, who ruled
from 1874 to 1891,
was known as the
"merry monarch,"
who not only encour-
aged the writing of
native melodies, but
who wrote many
himself. His brother,
Prince Leleiohoku,
and his sister, Queen
Liliuokalani, who
succeeded him as
ruler of the islands,
vied with him in
composing. The
Princess L i k e 1 i k e
also wrote songs
which are still heard.
Best known of all
King K a 1 a k a u a ' s
songs is "Sweet Lei
Lehua," in which he
compares his wife,
Queen Kapiolani, to
the sweet lehua
flower. Rare, indeed,
is the Hawaiian who,
even today, cannot
sing this tribute of
a king to his queen.
King Kalakaua
once left his islands
for a trip around the
world, and, as he was
returning, his people
gathered together to
plan a welcome for
him. As he loved
music so much, the
story goes, they de-
cided that nothing
would please him bet-
ter than a song about
his return. A group
of people, determined
to write the b e s t
song, set to work
and labored all night,
finally finishing a
song which told of
every beauty of the
islands, the flowers,
the birds, the clouds,
the verdant valleys,
the moonlight and
the sea, the mountains, the rainbows, and the beautiful girls. Surely,
no one could write a better song, they thought, because they had
written about everything and there was nothing left for anyone else
to use as a theme.
But, the story continues, their rivals were not discouraged. The
next night a man named Nahinu set to work, and by the following
day he had written an even better song in which he told how the
Hawaiian sun had followed its master around the world, shining
over and protecting him. It was this song, "La Oe E Ka La," which
charmed the king upon his return, and which still charms Hawaiian

audiences today as in days of old.
ANOTHER man who set out to honor the king with a song and
achieved a lasting success was a white man, and one who has
never yet set foot on the shores of Hawaii ! He is Joseph Redding
of San Francisco, and his song, "A Song to Hawaii," is dreamy,
reminiscent, typically Hawaiian. Redding, a friend of many
Hawaiians, had learned much of the islands, and when Kalakaua
paid a visit to San Francisco he wrote his song in tribute to him.
The words, so appealing to the Hawaiians away from home, and
the music, so expressive of island life, were immediately taken up
by the king's glee club, who carried them back to Honoluhj.
It remained for Kalakaua's sister, Liliuokalani, to write the
Hawaiian song which is known around the world. The queen, then
a princess, was returning homeward with a group of friends after
a day spent in the country, when her attention was attracted to a
gallant young American army officer who kissed a pretty Hawaiian
girl who placed a farewell lei around his neck. Perhaps the princess
also lingered to bid
farewell to some
companion of the day.
As the party rode
slowly up the steep
pali which separates
Honolulu from the
windward side of
the island, she hum-
med an old song,
"The Lone Rock by
the Sea," and sang
the words, "One fond
embrace, before we
now depart, until we
meet again." The
words and music in-
trigued her, and the
following day she
changed the music
slightly and wrote
words for a verse and
a chorus. Capt. Henri
Berger, German
leader of the Royal
Hawaiian Band, later
put the song in fin-
ished form for an or-
chestra.
The song, of
course, was "Aloha
Oe."
HONOLULU
loves "Aloha
Oe." It is played on
countless occasions,
when ships arrive,
and when ships de-
part, at dances and
theaters and lunch-
eons and meetings,
and at the end of
every Hawaiian pro-
gram. It is a part of
Hawaii. Honolulans
rise when it is played,
the same as they do
when they pay re-
spect to the old Ha-
waiian anthem and to
"The Star Spangled
Banner."
Of songs written
for Queen Liliuoka-
lani, none is more
popular than "E Liliu
E," a song which de-
scribes the beauty of
the queen as a young
girl. Not only as a
song, but as an ac-
companiment for one
of the best known
hula dances, "E Liliu
E" is widely played.
One of the most haunting melodies written in Hawaii in recent
years is King's serenade, "Iini Au I'a Oe." Like King Kalakaua's
"Alekoki," this is a lament for a lost lover. Its plaintive tune sug-
gests an unknown longing, and so well does it express the half -sad,
half-happy "steamer day" that it is almost always played on the
Honolulu wharfs as the gangplank is lowered from departing
steamers. The national hymn of the Hawaiian monarchy, "Hawaii
Ponoi," is not at all Hawaiian, being of the martial type of most
national anthems. It was written by Captain Berger of the Royal
Hawaiian Band just at the end of the royal regime.

MARYLAND HORSE Wins Heroic Race in

BILLY BARTOX is a beloved aristocrat. Yes sir, he is one
of the bluest of the blue bloods and mighty spry on his legs.
He is the pride and joy of all Baltimore, Maryland, and if it
hadn't been for bit of slithery mud at the last jump he would
have taken first place easily in the great English classic, the Grand
National Steeplechase at Aintree.
And that was the time nearly half a million listeners on the big
Radio station, WBAL, just about dropped dead in front of their
loud speakers. When you have a horse good enough to challenge
the whole English
turf in a national
event like the Grand
Steeplechase at

runs close to fever

tic seaboard simply stood up on their hind
legs and clapped. On account of the high
cost of transportation it was out of the
question to figure on getting up a special
excursion steamer to take the fans across
thi pond And, as always in time of trouble
like that, .Mayor William F. Broening and
oilier delegations of citizens thought of the
possibilities of their favorite station,
WBAL. Would it be possible to get the
details by i ■
CtnpiIAT'S a whale of a big undertaking," declared Director
X Frederick R. Huber, "but I'll certainly see what can be done
about it." Then followed heavy conferences with the big Radio
guns, lengthy cablegrams and radiograms, until finally it was an-
nounced definitely that WBAL would attempt, for the first time in
ory, to broadcast a sporting event taking place in England to
i eners through an American broadcasting station.
Billy Barton sailed in state. There was also another American
horse going under the Old Glory colors for the same event. The
American horses had the best the boal affords, but Billy Barton was
the favorite. One of the ladies upstairs suggested sending down a
bouquel of American Beauty roses to make it a little more cheerful,
hut the trainer objected on the grounds he was afraid Billy would
consider the roses rather from a gastronomic than an aesthetic
point and he had plenty to do to steer him clear of mal de mer
;i- it was. All in all. the trip was OK and put Billy Barton in fine
foi ill' big stei plechase.
Now Aintree was in one grand hubub of excitement when the
1 da) came along. Thousands and thousands of people from
every sector of the globe had arranged their first trip home to be
timed for this great occasion. They swarmed through the gates.
Colors were flying ; tallyhoes and motor coaches with laughing,
cheering passengers trundled along hub to hub. Venders shouted
their edibles and curios. Old Gypsy ladies promised luck when
their palms were crossed with silver. Toy balloons sailed aloft.
Airplanes skimmed through the sky. Billy Barton and all the proud
and noble steeds of Great Britain snorted and pricked up their ears
while waiting for the trumpet call.
WHAT was happening in Baltimore? You should know ! Mayor
Broening ordered out the Municipal Band. They played
"Hands Across the Sea," the British and the American anthems.
Engineers and operators were on their toes. It was getting about
time for the big race. Suddenly there was a click, a Morse code
flash from New York, the flick of a small switch, and America had
Aintree on the air !
The voice of the English announcer came through clearly and
distinctly. He was telling them of what he saw all around — the
general view from top of the grandstand — the horses ! Tht horses !
They were going to the post !
Baltimore and ten states all around sat forward on the edge of
their respective chairs and strained a tense ear toward the loud
speaker.
Boom ! They were off ! A mighty roar ! Voices of tens of thou-
sands echoing three thousand miles across the Atlantic ! Space and
time obliterated!
What was that ? Hooray ! Hooray ! Two leaders were coming
out of the pack. They were over the first jump ! Tipperary Tim
was in' the lead — and a foreign horse, a stranger — ah, the American
horse Billy Barton was second. What speed ! What skill — over the
jumps — another and another — the American horse was gaining.
Another jump, now Billy Barton was in the lead !
Hooray ! Hooray ! Billy Barton, 'tis the American horse — going
like sin ! Beautiful form, taking the jumps magnificently. He must
win. He has a good lead. The last jump — he clears it beautifully —
Oh ! Ah ! Shame ! A muddy patch, Billy slips, slides, and goes down !
The jockey is thrown clear ! Twenty listening turf fans in Baltimore
fell off their chairs. But listen! Billy is up again. The jockey is
unhurt. He jumps to the saddle! They are away! Only Tipperary
Tim has caught up to him! You could almost hear the clatter of
hoofs. Over the line scampered Tipperary and right behind him
came Billy Barton, safe in second place!
npHREE CHEERS for the Red, White and Blue ! Even as far
-*- inland as Kentucky, American patriots and horse lovers heard the
hoofbeats of Billy Barton and that speed-mad flock of thorough-
breds pounding down the course and cheered themselves hoarse.
England, famous for its horse racing for hundreds of years,
shouted its admiration. The gamest and sportingest horse that had
been seen in England for a generation. Three cheerios for the
American horse, Billy Barton !
But it was more than Billy Barton's victory. It was a great
Radio victory. Three cheers for WBAL ! And now we know that
we are on the threshold of a great era. Billy Barton's blue blooded
hoofs flipped a page in the world's history of scientific achievement.

SOME of these days Alaska will
produce wealth from her natural
resources that will make the mil-

look like a piker. Radio is going to help bring that progress about.
It has already achieved marvels in uniting and educating the great
territory, welding it into a conscious entity which is the first step of
organized effort in development.
We, in the milder climate of the Union, are inclined to think of
By Mai Amute
CATCH Ketchikan, Station
KGBU, 750 kc, and you are likely
to hear this merry Music Hour
group broadcasting the "Voice of
Alaska."
Alaska as a great barren waste in the Arctic
wilderness. Do you know that Sitka, the
former capital, has a rainfall varying from
190 to 285 days out of the year ? Since 1900
Alaska has furnished more than half of the
total salmon product of the United States.
If we could get just a little bit more of a
fair-and-warmer summer for the interior,
Alaska, according to the government ex-
perts, would be one of the greatest agricul-
tural countries in the world.
Uncle Sam took Alaska off Russia's hands
in 1867 for a paltry $7,200,000. And at that
a great many citizens made uncomplimen-
tary remarks toward Secretary W. H.
Seward for negotiating the deal. Long be-
fore gold was discovered Uncle got his
money back, cold cash, and since then Alaska
has had a strong shoulder to the wheel in
reducing the national debt.
THE average citizen has as little concep-
tion of the broad expanse of Alaska as
he has of Texas. He thinks of Pacific
coast time as about as far west as the clock
goes. But listen to this from KOMO pub-
licity at Seattle, concerning a broadcast for a graduating class near
Nome: "The hour used, 12:15 am. (Seattle), corresponds to 9:15
pm. at White Mountain, the village not far from Nome, and the
location of the White Mountain Eskimo Industrial School."
Incidentally, 1928 was the first class of Eskimos ever to graduate
in Alaska. Johnathan Wagner, head of the Alaska division of the
United States Bureau of Education, addressed the graduating class
over the KOMO station.
Three changes in time WEST of Seattle to this point — and there
are points still much farther west ! In fact, if you jumped in a plane
and hopped a beeline straight north from Seattle you would hardly
touch the eastern boundary of the territory
at any point.
So it happens that a great many people
live in Alaska at extreme corners who never
pass each other at all in going back and forth to their daily chores.
The railroads are hardly started and many communities do not even
have telegraph or mail communication.
But there are many thousands of good loyal American citizens
living in Alaska. They are bringing the ends together by one means
or another — education, industry and com-
merce. The sooner they are able to work
cooperatively the sooner they will be able
to uncover the prodigious wealth of the
country that is only waiting to be delivered
for the comfort and happiness of mankind.
For that reason the Radio stations of the
Northwest are giving a great deal of atten-
tion to our sister of the North. They broad-
cast special programs and assist the public
authorities in promoting good will and in-
formative service to the people scattered far
from the more favored communities.
Of inestimable value is the alert and well
managed broadcasting station, KGBU, "The
Voice of Alaska," located at Ketchikan,
Alaska, the "First City." It operates on a
wave length of 389.8 meters or 750 kc. It is
owned by the Alaska Radio and Service
company; Harry G. McCain, manager and
John R. Ryno, technician. The station and
operating plant is in the Nelson hotel. The
main studio is in the KGBU building. Other
studios are in Eagles Hall, Coliseum, Chris-
tian Science church and Nelson hotel.
JOHN R. RYNO, announcer, and
members of the Tillicum Enter-
tainers. It is a complete cast for
anything from a mouth organ jig
to grand opera, and includes the
Northern Light Trio.
Mr. McCain states': "The Voice of Alaska was first licensed and
began operations in July, 1926. It is the most powerful, and the
only broadcasting station in Alaska to maintain a staff of artists
and a regular daily schedule.
"It reaches all Alaska, western Canada, and the Pacific coast. A

MR. DIXON gives us in this
article direct and sidelight
views of the great operative plant
of the National Broadcasting
company. Over 400 people are
employed in this beehive of Radio.
AT each end of the lobby are zones of
quiet — lounging rooms in modernistic
style where artists pause to smoke a cigarette
or chat with friends before going on the air.
Opening off the lobby are studios — three
huge ones. A peek into studio A and one sees
a man with rumpled white hair talking earn-
estly to a group of musicians seated in front
of him. He raises his baton and music flows.
He drops it as if in disgust. Somewhere he
has detected an off -note in the orchestra and
it must be corrected. This is a rehearsal and
Harold Sanford, an NBC conductor, is going
to be sure his men know the selection before
it is presented to the critical Radio audience.
A peek into another studio — studio B this
time. It is a huge auditorium and is as quiet
as a tomb. Then one hears a crystal clear
tenor soaring up and up and up, to be lost
among the mammoth lamps hanging from the
ceiling. Unaccompanied, the man is singing
into a microphone. Two other men watch
him from behind a glass window set in a side
wall. The two who watch are in a monitor-
ing booth. The voice of the tenor is being
tested. They shake their heads. The tenor
tries again. They shake their heads and then
come forth to explain in kind, low
tones that his voice lacks the inde-
finable "something" necessary to a suc-
cessful Radio artist. Another audition
is over — just one of hundreds that are
held every week at 711 Firth avenue.
There is still another studio — but a
watchful page prevents a peek. A pro-
gram is going on the air and admittance
to the studio is forbidden.
THE page explains that one may look
into the studio from a small room

teenth level and through a maze of corridors
to a tiny room, cool and comfortably fur-
nished. A Radio speaker is pouring out dance
tunes. There is a heavy glass window in the
side of the room and from this window one
can look down into studio C.
A jazz orchestra is playing. The leader,
busy at a banjo, is Harry Reser. The Clicquot
Club Eskimos are on the air.
A saxophone player rolls joyous eyes at
another saxophone player. The piano player
emphasizes the time with a convulsive move-

sway and the studio seems steeped in the

A red light blinks in the monitoring

One thinks of mummy cases in an Egyptian tomb.
The announcer speaks briefly. His carefully enunci-
ated words are heard across the continent :
"This program is presented by the National Broad-

Sodero's baton swings down and music floods the room
like sunlight when shades are drawn. Moments of this
and then there is singing.
An opera is being broadcast.
Down the swift elevator and again one is in the main
lobby of 711 Fifth avenue. It is near midnight and more
persons are moving out of the building than are coming in.
Some are laughing. Happy because they intuitively
know that their voices "went over" with the invisible
audience. Some are silent. Perhaps there was a catch
in a voice at the wrong moment and they imagine their
efforts were ruined — even though the slight error may have gone
unnoticed.
Men and women, music rolls or instruments under their arms,
stroll out into the night.
Another Radio day is over.
And now the Radio Digest reader may be interested in some of
the casual personalities identified with the great staff of entertainers
employed by the National Broadcasting Company in the studios at
"seven eleven Fifth Avenue."
RETIRED veterans of the circus, dozing by their Radio
speakers, must have been rudely awakened one evening last
summer. The call to battle, known to all circus men, had come
from the sneaker with this famous challenge:
"Hey, rube!"
They must have rubbed their eyes, these old circus men. The
voice was familiar. Where had they heard it before? On the lot
with the old P. T. Barnum circus ? Thirty years ago when the
circus folk battled continuously with the towns people ? Thirty years
ago when "hey, rube," meant grab a tent stake and fight?
Some of them must have heard the identical voice years before on
38
RADIO DIGES T— Illustrated
the P. T. Barnum lot — for it was the voice of Bob Sherwood, last
of the clowns who capered under the Barnum banner.
SHERWOOD, more familiarly known as "Uncle Bob," is re-
creating the circus of yesterday in a series of Radio programs
known as the "Dixie's Circus." The program is broadcast every
Friday night from 7 :30 to 8 p. m., Eastern standard time, and
usually is heard through stations WJZ, New York; WBZ, Spring-
field. Mass. : WBZA, Boston ; KDKA, Pittsburgh ; KYW, Chicago ;
WHAM, Rochester, N. Y. ; WBAL, Baltimore, and WJR, Detroit.
"Uncle Bob' is one of the most colorful characters of the
hundreds of interesting persons who drift in and out of the NBC
studios in New York. He has white hair, but he gives no im-
pression of age. His eyes sparkle and he moves as rapidly as a
youngster in his teens. He clowns a bit when he isn't working and
his greatest delight is to have a group of youngsters about him,
listening to his stories of the circus.
His life history would make a book — in fact it is a book, for he
has written his rem-
iniscences.. In addi-
tion to his career as
a circus clown more
than two score years
ago, he has appeared
in vaudeville and in
the movies. His in-
timate knowledge of
circus life made him
much in demand in
the film colonies when
motion pictures of
the big tops were be-
ing made.
His Radio program
is his own idea and
is a typical example
of his greatest inter-
est in life. The "Dix-
ie's Circus" program
is built about three
characters — Uncle
Bob, little Dorothy
and Dick. Uncle Bob
each week takes the
two children through
Circus Land, telling
them about the ani-
mals and artists and
taking them behind
the scenes of the cir-
cus. He also enacts
the principal roles in
the circus story such
as animal trainer,
boss of the big top,
ring master, barker
and elephant boss.
THERE'S a calli-
ope in the pro-
gram, too, and the
melodies played on
the calliope are real
old-time circus tunes.
A c 1 o w n band of
trombones and saxo-
phones also supplies
musical atmosphere.
It was during a
broadcast which had
as its plot a fight be-
tween the circus folk
nd the townspeople that Uncle Bob intro-
duced the famous "I ley, rube" cry. And
lie did it as it used to be done on the circus
lots — a truly terrifying battle cry.
Now that we have begun to both see and
hear the movies Radio artists are coming
into demand in the moving picture studios.
Aline Berry is one of the first to enter this
double sphere.
MORE than four years ago a little girl from Washington
wandered had: stage at the Theatre Guild in New York and
timidly asked for a job. Perhaps it was her voice or perhaps it
was her eyes or perhaps she was just lucky because instead of being
told to "gel out," she- was taken on as an understudy.
The Theatre Guild at that time was presenting Shaw's "The
Devils Disciple." In the cast were such well known actors as
Hasil Sydney, Roland Young Helen Westlev and others. Martha
Brian Allen, a young ingenue, was playing the role of Essie. The
little girl from Washington studied the different parts in the pro-
duction and watched with eager eyes from the wings as these famous
i layers worked before an audience.
Then came the lucky break that happens more often in fiction
than in real life. Miss Allen had to leave the play on a day's notice.
The little girl from Washington, with several other understudies,
was given a try-out for the part. And the little girl from Washing-
ton made good.
Thus did Aline Berry begin a dramatic career that has taken her
onto many stages, before motion picture cameras and recently before
the microphone.
SHE had an audition in the studios of the National Broadcasting
Company in New York and made her Radio debut in a Gold
Spot Pals program.
While doing Radio work, a theatrical agency sent for her and
offered her a part in a Long Island stock company if she could
learn a long role on short notice. She got her part on a Saturday
night and on Monday night went on as leading woman in "Tommy."
She stayed with the stock company until it closed and then went
back to Radio, playing melodramatic roles in the series of revivals
of old-time plays be-
ing broadcast through
WJZ and stations
associated with the
National Broadcast-
ing company.
To complete her
experience in the
show business she
went into a "talking
movie" studio and
her voice was used
in an experimental
"talkie."
At the present time
she is working in
Radio productions
and in talking mo-
tion pictures.

fications must
a man have to. be-
come one of our an-
nouncers?" Leslie
Joy repeated crisply,
because this super-
visor of the NBC
announcers is a very
keen man who thinks
quickly and accu-
rately. He said:
"First of all he
must have experi-
ence. I save time
by asking a man that
at once. The second
thing is whether he
has had a college
degree. If he has,
it is a decided asset,
because then he will
have had two or
three languages, and
this is a great help
in pronouncing musi-
cal terms and words
and names.
"The third ques-
tion is whether they
are singers. If they
are, they will have
good speaking voices
and will be familiar
with music and musicians. It is very im-
portant that our announcers understand
the artistic temperament, because during
the year most of the big artists of the
country appear before our microphones.
"When they announce their voices must
be understanding. In other words, they
must have Radio personality, and Radio
personality implies a person with a quick
mind, tact and common sense. For instance, a good announcer
will often have to decide things for himself, and we must feel
safe to leave the situation in his hands. When any one applies
to me for a position I can tell in five minutes whether he will
do or not. Size has nothing to do with it. You will notice that
one of our popular announcers is Paul Dumont, who is only
five feet two inches tall, and another announcer with a very
pleasing Radio personality is E. B. Ruffner, six feet seven.
"Applicants applying by mail I judge from the character of
the letter, the paper and the handwriting. You would be sur-
prised how correct an impression you can get from this.
"I like a man, therefore, who has had a college education,
musical training and experience in all sorts of jobs.

^C^LS Covers National Fields
QDGAR BILL Promoted as String of
New Stations are Affiliated
A LITTLE over four years ago when new Radio stations were
making their bow in rapid succession and when these same
stations were still "in a fog," putting on programs of one kind
and another, mostly of the entertainment order, hardly knowing
what it was all about, a gala program was broadcast that marked the
inauguration of broadcasting by one of the largest firms in the country, a
firm with a name that is nationally known.
This new station was WLS, its call letters representing the slogan
of its parent, Sears, Roebuck and Company, the "World's Largest
Store." And there was one big thing that distinguished this new station
from the many others coming on the air at that time, when definite ideas
as to broadcasting and its place in the scheme of things were few, and
ment of farm education, and has proved its
dollars and cents value many times over in
the transmission of market news, weather
forecasts and innumerable items of imme-
diate importance affecting the farmer's
products and his markets.
During the four years WLS has enlarged
many times on its original idea of service
to the farmer and rural community and has
made this service of much greater value by
reporting fully the action of all markets in
which the farmer is interested and bringing

Safford, fiddler; "Mirandy" Ellen

this one thing was service — service to the
farmer.
The first program broadcast by WLS,
Chicago, was on the night of April 12,
1924, and the director of the station for
this first program was Edgar L. Bill, who
has remained as director since that time.
Mr. Bill was one m the first men to see
the real opportunities of service to the
farmer through Radio and he, with those
associated with him in the new en-
terprise, immediately set about to
give this service.
It was rather slow at first, but
WLS was firm in its idea that real
service to farm listeners through
Radio was possible, and that the
conviction was well founded is evi-
denced by the fact that Radio has
taken its certain place as an instru-

hie ago Radio Artists
Entertained on Cruises
Aboard the Edora
WHAT does an announcer do
when he isn't announcing?
What do other broadcast art-
ists do when they have nothing
special to do?
In the Chicago area they go boat rid-
ing. At least that is what they have
been doing during the past summer.
Perhaps some of their eight or ten mil-
lion listeners would be interested in a
composite account of the several cruises
of the Edora, which carried personnel of
the numerous Chicago stations away
from the detail of tuning instruments,
auditions, strained silences and the
oppressive heat that now and then
blanketed the big city.
It was Ed Mattson, better known as
"Matty," skipper of the public relations
department of Westinghouse KYW, who
started the ball rolling with the first
expedition.
"We're going on a cruise," he announced suddenly one May
morning, some weeks in advance, as he turned from his type-
writer and faced the office force, snapping his bright red and
blue suspenders and beaming pleasantly.
"Got the Hudson oiled up for a boulevard voyage? someone
asked.
"Hudson me eye! We're going on a regular sea-going vessel
—a yacht — big powerboat. In fact, it's the Sanitary District's
Edora. It's my blowout. We're all going except those who
can't and we'll make it a party, my party."
Invitations were in the mail that very day.
I lure was a torrential rain the night before the sailing date.
In the morning the- weather was still a bit doubtful as guests
dashed up to the Sanitary District heademarters at Western
avenue and the canal. The- Edora lolled at her dock down a
little slope- from the parking place. She was a luxurious thing,
originally built for a millionaire automobile manufacturer.
.Matty and several of the faithful standbys were there with
sleeves rolled up. They were stirring up orange juice in two milk
cans and it seemed to he a very serious matter.
"In starting out on a cruise one should be well prepared,"
Matty explained as In- swished the paddle back and forth.
"Suppose now we should suddenly become becalmed in mid-
lake. People dying of thirst in mid-ocean is one of the darkest

pages of nautical history. Lack of quaf-
fables under such conditions is one of the
greatest terrors of the sea. The Edora
will be prepared for such an emergency."
The cans were rolled forward into the
tight little cabin. A prodigious punch
bowl by some mysterious magic sud-
denly appeared on the dining table.
Then Yank Taylor stuck his head in the
door and ordered everybody on deck.
Standing on the side of the slope was a
funny-looking man with drooping mous-
tache and a gawky camera on a tripod.
He was making faces and twisting his
ears. His knees were twitching and he
seemed on the point of tears. That was
all part of his act to set the party into
loud and prolonged hee-haws. At the
right moment he pressed the bulb and
the results are shown above.
The Edora sailed down through the
skyscraper canyons with everybody
happy. Great bridges broke open, stop-
ping traffic streams. Big excursion boats
and freighters loomed along the sides,
and then she came to the mouth of the
river, and a view of the blue horizon.
"That tall cylindrical house across the
pier with flaming red sides is the new
crib," said Loren D. Gayton, Chief engineer for the city of Chicago.
"In a few days it will be floated three miles out in the lake and sunk
in fifty feet of water. It will cover a shaft sunk 200 feet below the
lake level and the shaft will connect with a tunnel eighteen feet wide
and running back under the lake to the Chicago avenue pumping
station and from there twelve miles west to furnish drinking water
on the west side. The tunnel is a veritable subway."
Later Mr. Gayton told of this in his program feature, "The
Cruise of the Edora," in the KYW studio.
_ By the time the Edora passed through the harbor gates the golden
tide in the punch bowl had subsided to very low ebb and Phil Alt
was sitting on top of the lid to the most convenient milk can.
"Lemons would have been better," said Phil.
But there was room for argument on that point and Fred Jeska
persuaded Phil to go aft with him and view the misty skyline. Phil
Alt is a bachelor who should have been the father of a large family.
Not heing so endowed by nature he has found time outside of his
duties in a clerical capacity in the county treasurer's office to adopt
the municipal tuberculosis sanitarium and the entire Radio personnel
of Chicago's forty odd broadcasting stations. He found the sani-
tarium patients first. They had a theater of their own, but were
short on entertainment. Then Phil began organizing the Radio sta-
tions to furnish entertainment. That led to his adoption of the

TO BE behind the scenes while the show is going on, to watch
the artists come off the stage and to view the progress of the
play from the wings form the ambitions of almost every
theatergoer who has sat in the audience, removed from the
glamourous professional world by the barrier of the footlights.
A similar ambi-
tion stirs in the , „__ ,„,
breasts of R a d i o

fortably in their
homes and twist the
dials a bit. As the
program comes in
over the loud

voice is heard and
perhaps the person- A

But in that studio
where the least bit
of noise or confusion j
is all seven of the f

ilarly glamourous
life which appeals f
to the audience. j
This desire to see

one which The

On the twenty-

the main studio.
Two stories in

thirty-one feet wide
and forty - six feet '
deep. The acous- |
tically perfect
jehamber with its 1
high vaulted ceiling
is arranged to ac-
commodate large
groups, such as
symphony and con-
cert orchestras.
On the mezzanine
floor above is a
waiting room, one """■■
entire side of which
is glass. Through this transparent partition Miss Judith Waller, director of
guests may look down one floor into the WMAQ-WQJ, Chicago Daily News,
large studio and thus watch the artists and first newspaper owned station in
musicians in action. With the aid of loud Chicago
speakers the -guests will also hear what is
produced in the studio, although the glass partition will keep any
confusion or noise in the waiting room from affecting the musicians
or their renditions. The WMAQ visitors' balcony will be an im-
provement over the ideas evolved for this purpose in any of the
other leading broadcasting stations.
Similar glass partitions are to be installed in the other two studios
which will be adjoining the large one on the twenty-fifth floor, al-
though they will not extend up into the mezzanine above. In this
case the partitions will be arranged for the operators controlling the
programs and the artists in all three of the studios, so that all may
know just when to begin and when to stop, or when to switch from
one studio to another.
On the twenty- fourth floor will be the Radio department of

\ VARIETY of
-Tv educational and
instructive features
has been arranged
to be interspersed
with music and en-
tertainment on the
fall and winter
broadcast schedule.
There will be
talks and lectures
on music, geog-
raphy, history, art,
current events, the
states of the union,
ethics, French,
English, literature,
gardens and many
other equally
varied subjects de-
signed to cover the
hobby and the sub-
ject in which each
of the listeners is
interested.
With the cooper-
ation of William J.
B o g a n , superin-
1 tendent of schools
for Chicago, as
well as H. Wallace
Caldwell and his
fellow members of
the board of edu-
cation, Judith C.
Waller, director of
WMAQ, has ar-
ranged an ex-
panded and im-
proved public
school series for
the coming school
year.
The lectures will
be given in the
WMAQ studio
from 9:05 to 9:30
o'clock each schoolday morning. More than
100 schools within a fifty-mile radius of
Chicago are equipped with Radio receivers
and plan to receive the broadcasts for the
students gathered in assembly halls.
Each Monday the lecture will be on music, with a discussion of
pieces and composers, together with the presentation of descriptive
music, bringing out the points made in the talks. Then on Tuesday
mornings the students will hear geography talks ; Wednesdays will
be devoted to art and Thursdays to history. On Friday of each
week the discussion will cover current events.
The schools will show stereopticon slides illustrative and descrip-
tive of the lectures on art and geography in conjunction with the
talks as they come in over the loud speaker. In many instances

students will be required to submit papers in connection with their
grammar and English lessons on the topic discussed over the Radio
on each particular da}'. Thus the broadcasts are treated in the
manner of actual school lessons.
More mature and adult instruction is embodied in the lectures to
be broadcast direct from the University of Chicago studio in
Mitchell tower. Beginning the first Tuesday in October and on
each Tuesday and Thursday evening thereafter during the college
term WMAQ will present addresses by the instructors and pro-
fessors of the university between 7:10 and 7:30 o'clock.
Another University of Chicago series will occupy part of the
early morning broadcasts. From 8 to 8 :20 o'clock on four consecu-
tive mornings each week The Daily News station will present
lectures direct from the classroom.
The first section of the U. of C. morning classroom lectures to
be given during the fall will be devoted to "Ethics." Thomas
Vernor Smith, associate dean of the colleges of arts, literature and
science, will be the speaker.
Percy H. Boynton, professor of American literature at the
University of Chicago, will present the second section during the
winter. The final group next spring will be conducted by Prof.
Fay Cooper Cole, who will speak on "Anthropology."
Students of the foreign languages will find French lessons, while
those who wish to brush up their English will have a series broad-
cast for their special
benefit this season. r- --,.,„ ............ „,., .„..

THREE of The

variety to the educa-

WMAQ broadcasts.
Dr. Herman N.
Bundesen, former
health commissioner
of Chicago, now
health editor for The

medical adviser for
the Sanitary District,
conducts the "Health

series. Dr. Bunde-

o'clock and every
Thursday night from
7:30 to 7:45 o'clock.
He has advice for
mothers as to the
care of children dur-

for the minor ail-
ments, and what to
do for other mem-
bers of the family to
avoid ailments and
relieve distress in

his regime as health
commissioner Ch i -

WHT Woman's Exchange
Something new in the way of service
always may be expected from WHT, Chi-
cago. Now it is the Woman's Ideas Ex-
change. It corresponds somewhat to the
Vox Pop of publications. Under the direc-
tion of Miss Martha Linn, however, this
feature at WHT makes a specialty of giv-
ing the woman listener the advantage of
ideas found practical by other women
throughout the wide domain of the WHT
family of listeners.
"I believe that the listeners themselves
should have some opportunity for expres-
sion," said Miss Linn. "In fact, it is ob-
viously more practical to draw from the
source of many minds than for any one
woman to sit down and dictate her own
ideas on everything for everybody. So
the women listeners are invited to consider
James Burdette, garden editor, talks on planting and cultivating
the gardens.
In addition to these standard events, features on varying subjects
will be introduced into the broadcast schedule as the need for them
arises.
Aerial navigation come in for special consideration in the plan-
ning of the new 5,000-watt transmitter of WMAQ which The
Daily News erected recently 17 miles directly west of Chicago's
loop, two miles northwest of Elmhurst, 111.
When Walter R. Lindsay, chief operator of WMAQ, completed
his plans for the new station he insisted upon assured safety for
aviators of the district. Four years in the United States air mail
service as supervisor of Radio installation had taught Mr. Lindsay
the dangers which Radio masts present to night-fliers.
Both of the 205-foot towers which support the WMAQ antenna
have been fully equipped with danger lights to warn approaching
fliers. Atop each of the towers is a red flashing light with a bowl
twelve inches in diameter, burning from sunset to sunrise. In
addition, each of the towers is equipped with four range lights,
two at a height of 75 feet on opposite steel uprights, and two at
a height of 150 feet on the other two uprights which are also
opposite each other. Thus three of the four side lights on each
tower as well as the top_ lights are visible from every direction.

Charles Henry Ross
HERE we are again, WCSH, the Eastland at Portland,
Maine. At this time we are introducing Charles Henry
Ross, whom we believe to be the oldest announcer in the
United States.
Charles Henry Ross, to use his own words, "was born at an
early age on his first birthday," which was December 11, 1856, mak-
ing him a little over seventy-
one — and he's on the job day
after day.
Mr. Ross was born here in
Portland and his reminiscences
are a constant source of inter-
est to the personnel of the sta-
tion. Of course there was no
Radio in those early days, but
further— there were no automo-
biles, no telephones, no street
cars, not even horse cars, no
electric lights. Only the most
wealthy people had bathtubs;
in fact, there was no public
water-works system. Every
house had its own well from
which water was drawn and
wells were supplemented by
cisterns for the accumulation
of rain water. Thus the
kitchen was supplied with two
pumps — one for hard water
and one for soft water. In
addition, there were corner
pumps, "town pumps," to sup-
ply water in the event that
private wells went dry.
THE main street of Portland when Henry was a boy was a
primitive thoroughfare. The picture as he gives it to us is of
roughly cobbled streets, lined with board or dirt walks. On either
side were lines of hitch rails and feed troughs where horses were
tied for their feed while the drivers transacted necessary business.
Like a western town in the movies. Up and down the street plodded
patient oxen hauling manufactured goods, principally barrel shook
from the country districts destined to carry molasses from the
Indies. It is interesting to note that the side on which the WCSH
studio is now located was the popular side of the street, patronized
by the bloods of the day and known as "the dollar side." The
"fifty cent side" was shunned consistently.
"The harbor," says Henry, "used to be full of square-riggers
in the 'Indy' trade, principally molasses and sugar. The molasses
found its way, for the most part, to the two breweries and two dis-
tilleries, which turned out rum for home consumption. And Maine
has been dry a long, long time.
OTHER industries which are now long forgotten were pegey
presses, where "wash bait" was made for fishing mackerel
schools and crude oil was extracted from the fish for painting ships,
etc. There were shipyards on all parts of the waterfront. There
were also grist mills for grinding salt and grain.
We inquired about an example of tattooing which appears on one
forearm, wondering if Uncle Henry was holding out any romantic
adventures. The story is amusing, if not exciting. It seems that
in the old days, when Henry was a boy, it was customary to pay
the crews of schooners a little advance money. Then the problem
arose of how to keep the crew on board. Henry's father had his
crew all below decks the night before the schooner was due to
sail and he posted Henry with an old horse pistol to keep them
on board. Henry was then about fourteen. He took his com-
mission seriously. One of the crew, knowing that Henry craved
to be ornamented, tattooed a bleeding heart on the boy's forearm,
hoping thus to bribe him into letting a boat approach to take off
some of the crew ashore. Young Henry stood the ordeal nicely,
but when the question of letting the boat approach was brought up
he stood pat. No, sir ! No boat comes alongside ! And he waved
the horse pistol as added evidence of his determination. He kept
his father's crew aboard and, at the same time, achieved his heart's
desire. Today the unfaded colors of the heart and knife remind him
of that dark and exciting night.
BY TURNS Uncle Henry was train boy or "news agent" on the
railroad. "I've handled more than a million cords of wood
for those cussed engines," he declares. That was in the days of
the wood-burning engines when everybody, even the passengers,
helped pile wood onto the flat-car tender. Then he shipped for short
coastwise trips in various schooners, worked in a grocery store and
finally acquired his own grocery business — was a fireman in Port-
land when the engines (hand tubs) pumped water from reservoirs
at the edge of the road in the days before hydrants were ever
heard of. He was alway: interested in sports and, by the way,
was one of the first group to introduce professional baseball in this
city. And he is now the sole surviving member of that group._
Looking out of the studio windows the other day, while waiting
for our turn to go on the air, Henry suddenly remarked, "You see
that corner across the way? I stood there and sold papers telling
of Lee's surrender and of the assassination of Lincoln." And it
was from that remark that this story grew.
Uncle Henry conducts a household hour from the Lyman B.
Chipman market studios five mornings a week and five days a
week plays the part of County Agent Robbins in presenting ^the
United States Department of Agriculture talks — so we feel he's a
real announcer. Have you any older?
HENRY C. WING and his bride, both of WCSH, Portland,
Maine. Mr. Wing, author of the above article, found "Aunt
Doris" so sweet and competent in the studio he was happy
when she consented to become Mrs. Wing.
Marcella Missed the Bride
THAT artist was mean to put a rolling pin on this picture. Don't
you think so ? For one thing, H. C. and Doris haven't been mar-
ried long enough for anything of that sort, and I ought to know.
Here I, the little blond flapper of the Marcella column, had been
looking forward to seeing Mr. Wing program director of WCSH.
His letters are so interesting. And I arrived at Portland, Maine,
just the day before the wedding. Let's see, that was June 22. If I
had only arrived June 23 I might have been invited to the wedding.
Wouldn't that have been thrilling. I love weddings.
H. C. is tall and blond and has such lovely blue eyes. He told me
that his wife was Aunt Doris to all the children of the Radio audi-
ence of WCSH. They met a year ago during the winter.
"Eventually," said Mr. Wing, "we met and clicked and the kids
lost their Aunt Doris. I am sorry that I can't find a better picture
of Doris, but the local papers have cleaned us out pretty well, and I
know you won't have time to wait until after the wedding. Here is
one I have carried for a year or more — so, if you can return it I will
be greatly indebted."
Isn't that romantic? Isn't she cute? No! I am sorry to say I
did not see her. She was just swamped getting everything ready
for the wedding. Their honeymoon was in the White Mountains.

^IRST in New School of Percussionists This NBC
Star Never JVould Exchange His for Horn
WHILE dwelling upon the varied
activities of an almost unsung
Radio celebrity who recently ap-
peared upon our horizon, it was
interesting to devise circus or vaudeville
billing for him in the phrase "He Makes Music for Millions — Yet
Few Have Seen Him," and in this case the ballyhoo is literally
true. Borrowing from the euphonious Mr. McNamee, his audience
extends "from coast to coast and border to border," and yet you
won't rind him along the hectic stretch of Mazda Lane, or holding
forth upon the concert platform.
The scene of his
entertaining activi-
ties is in the quieter
purlieus of what we
used to call upper
Fifth avenue, where,
after the shutters
have gone up on the
fashionable shops at
twilight, an almost
unbelievable quiet de-
scends upon the dis-
trict— the only night
time liveliness being
in the vicinity of
the NBC at Fifty-
fifth street.
There is no place
around Xew York
just now that holds
for us the same fas-
cination as the home
of this great enter-
prise, organized and
designed solely to
furnish entertain-
ment for a nation.
An evening spent in
its hospitable quar-
ters also furnishes us
with more novel en-
tertainment than we
can find within the
portals of a theatre.
One likes to sit in
one of the modern-
istic reception rooms,
where from hidden
receivers comes a
constant murmur of
music going out on
the two great chains,
and try to visualize
a few of the widely
scattered listeners in
environments so strangely removed from the source of the programs.
There would be the woman in the dilapidated farmhouse up in
the stump country, who told us she hadn't been ten miles from home
in twenty years; the family of musical youngsters who live in a
battered filling-station and garage on a lonely sand road in northern
Michigan; the nightly crowd in a slovenly tourist-camp, where
the portable radio set is the only entertainment ; and the guests
in the music-room of a great country house who glance languidly
up from the bridge tables as a famous name issues from the hidden
console.
All these flash past in swift panorama until one is diverted by
the flesh and blood personalities coming and going under one's
nose, in this strange world twelve stories above the street. Or-
tras and singers perform apparently in pantomime, since now
no sound comes through the studio windows, and there is an almost
fantastic atmosphere about the place, heightened by the variety of
individuals who" appear and disappear like actors upon a stage.
TWO announcers in evening clothes listen respectfully to two suits
of Red Bird overalls, the latter apparently being the orthodox
evening habiliments of important engineers. A rotund tenor in a
tail coat is receiving some final i' Structions from an excited little
Itaharl in a blue smock, who punctuates his remarks with waves of
in. violin. A beautiful woman in a backless gown, whom one has
on the Metropolitan, stage, is talking to a touselcd young man
ri a wrinkled business suit, who could belong nowhere but in the
press department.
By Dorothy Brister Stafford
Joe Greene (at his xylophone and a "close-up")
whom Dorothy Stafford maintains is the greatest
"hammer thrower" in America. He developed
the vibraphone and is in constant demand at the
NBC studios, where he may be seen one night
as an Eskimo and the next as a Persian.
There is a continuous stream of arriving
musicians for this is a busy night, with a
variety of half-hour programs on each
hookup. They disappear into their own
rooms, and emerge, many of them clad, in
of all things — smocks ! Heretofore we had regarded this artistic
garment as the exclusive prerogative of French hair-dressers, and
were unable to gather any authentic data as to why it should be
adopted as a uniform by broadcast musicians.
Now that the studio temperatures are always the same, there is
no need for the undress prevalent in the old days when performers
sweltered in air-tight
rooms, but many of
them still remove
their coats and the
smock evidently rep-
resents the maximum
of comfort.
Only the singers,
who seem to have to
visualize an audience
to produce their best
efforts, cling to for-
mal dress. Here and
there a performer
who is going on to a
theater orchestra or
cafe band wears the
conventional black
and white, but as
many of them ap-
pear upon more than
one broadcast pro-
gram in an evening,
they assume their
working clothes on
arrival.
In an otherwise
unoccupied studio
was a young man
arrayed in the 'most
colorful smock we
had yet seen. He
was busily unpack-
ing saxophones.
"Are you a Trou-
badour?" we asked
with an eye on the
garment.
"I don't know if I
am an Eskimo or a
Gipsy," he replied,
with a grin. "And I
may be an Anglo-
Persian. I've substi-
tuted so much this
week I've lost all track of the nights." We observed him later,
tooting a tricky saxophone, and he wasn't any of these things.
"Variety" said the other day that the NBC was the largest buyer
of entertainment in the world, and it is apparent that once a per-
former has proven his ability as a broadcast artist with this com-
pany, he need have no further worry about employment if he is
willing to forego the evanescent fame that comes from public
appearances, and doesn't lose his inspiration through playing to
four unresponsive walls.
TT WAS in the control of a studio, where our courteous guide
-I- was attempting what we could have told him was the impossible
task of explaining to us the workings of all the dials and machinery
surrounding the young man at the switchboard, that we made our
discovery. We were peeping through the window by the operator's
chair at the orchestra performing in the studio, when our vagrant
attention was attracted and held by the performance of a young
man upon that instrument so necessary to the modern syncopated
orchestra, the xylophone.
With the wealth of new things that were to be seen and heard
about this interesting place, it was perfectly in accord with our
erratic mental processes that we should become wildly curious about
that xylophone-player. We think our guide was rather irri-
tated. We gathered from his manner that he wanted to tell us
about the washed air, or something equally important. But we

CWPTF Solves Upkeep Problem
iJIRECTOR of Raleigh Station Answers
Queries for Independent Broadcasters
a
W
HY don't you broadcast chain
programs? How does your sta-
tion meet its costs? Where do
you secure all your talent
from?"
Perhaps not these exact words, but for sure the same thought is
expressed in the query put with almost consistent regularity to the
manager of every independent broadcasting station many times
during the course of each day.
Strange as it may seem, an answer to these three problems of
the layman fan is also being diligently sought in the majority of
cases by the station manager who sees these questions before him
day and night.
They represent three paramount
problems. As Radio continues its
march of progress in perfection of
technical transmission, perfection
of studio presentation and offerings,
and also the perfection of its own
financing ability, these problems
must be solved by the manager of
every independent station or else he
and his station faces the fate of

Perhaps, however, a safe estimate in
answering the question most generally
would be to assume that seventy-five per
cent of the stations not enjoying a chain
connection at the present time cannot secure
one. They have tried and failed. Theirs is a problem they must
now meet and solve alone. Thus in finding the correct solution to
the other two questions lies the succes or failure of the independent
station for the future. And because the solution must be worked
out by the station alone the task is all the harder.
Admittedly a chain connection would solve completely the talent
problem and more than half solve the operating cost problem.
Standing alone the independent sta-
tion faces the greatest of tasks —
that of competing with chain or-
ganizations for a place in the Radio
world's approval and its own ex-
istence.
The programs must be compara-
tive in their presentation and merit.

nouncer and baritone at

lar with the listener
being passed over without so much as a thought or comment from
the country's Radio populace.
That this is the age of specialization brings to the independent
broadcaster's mind all the more forcibly two of his three major
problems. How can he make his station meet its costs, and where
is he going to secure his capable and qualified talent? These two
problems are harder for the independent station to solve because
of the first — "Why don't you broadcast chain programs?"
While the path of the station connected with a national chain
is not rosy, it is more advantageous and easier than that of the inde-
pendent station in view of the revenue that is derived from national
advertising features and high quality program offerings.
Then, too, such a station is ofttimes considered more favorably
by advertisers because of its prominence and assured audience
through its chain connection. Yet, all stations cannot be chain
stations.
The geographical location of a station, line facilities available,
close proximity of other chain stations, lack of a demand for a
chain program^ outlet through some stations and even the outright
refusal of chain managers to include a station in its network are
but a few of many reasons ; while in fairness to some stations it
may be noted that they themselves are not desirous of forming a
chain connection.
Any one of these reasons or hundreds of others will answer the
question, "Why don't you have chain programs?"
The transmission must be equal in its efficiency and quality, and the
advertiser that uses the independent station must have the knowl-
edge and assurance that he is using one accepted by the Radio
public in as kindly a way as a chain station.
If this prestige can be established, then the independent station
may live, and not be completely eclipsed by the specialization of the
more powerful and so-called national stations. Fire can be best
fought with fire and the independent station and its manager, to
retain their place and solve the answer to those all important ques-
tions, must also use an equal amount of specialization.
LOCATED in the heart of one of the most popular Southern
States, North Carolina, will be found a station rather new to
the Radio audience, yet old in its years. Licensed in 1923 and
operated for a time as a fifty-watt station, it finally took on some
life when in 1924 it changed its numerical call letters to WRCO and
became a 250-watt broadcaster. Then came the first age of national
specialization.
Large companies saw in the exploitation of this word a greater
success for the future. Radio fans the country over are familiar
with WTIC of the Travelers Insurance Company at Hartford.
WLAC of the Life and Casualty Company at Nashville, and WSM
of the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, also at
Nashville, these three great stations representing the progress of
three great insurance companies in the world of specialization.
46
RADIO DIGES T— Illustrated
The Durham Life Insurance Company of Raleigh, North Carolina,
many years younger than these organizations, but recognizing the
wisdom of their actions, completed the quartette of the country's
great insurance companies to adopt Radio by purchasing in 1927
Station WRCO and securing for it a license for 500 watts power.
THIS was followed within three months by an application for
1000 watts power which was also secured, while at the present
time an application is before the federal radio commission for
another increase to super-power wattage.
Thus an old station under the guidance of the Durham Life In-
surance Company has found rejuvenation and the age of speciali-
zation in this line has entered the South. Changing the call letters
to WPTF to fit the slogan of the company, "We Protect the
Family," the station opened its first regular broadcasting schedule
with 1000 watts on April the 8th.
Since the inception of Radio, this section of the South has been
one that is unable to receive any consistent outside Radio reception
during nine months of the year, and so it is not surprising that in
the time that it has taken some stations years, WPTF has been
able in a few months by a plan of specialization to climb to the
front. Still, this station is confronted by the problem of those two
serious questions, for unlike its brother insurance stations, WPTF
is not connected with any chain. It must fight its way alone.
To fight its way alone today, as may be seen, is a far different
proposition than it was a few years ago when Radio was new and
big capital had not taken a hand to effect giant combines to control
all the fundamental phases of Radio.
Station operating costs have risen. Where once a few hundred
dollars a month met the station costs, now thousands of dollars are
necessary to maintain a station that competes with the standards of
the large national or chain stations.
Large staffs have to be maintained to give service to the listeners,
advertisers and to properly operate the station.
Talent that is comparable with that of the national stations has
to be secured, while from some source a revenue has to be derived
to offset the cost of all
this,
enue
from advertising or so-
called commercial pro-
grams. However, there
will be no demand for
the stations' facilities
by the advertiser un-
less the station has es-
tablished a high stand-
ard of efficiency, capa-
ble presentation and a
good grade of enter-
tainers.
In recognizing these
facts WPTF first con-
centrated its efforts to
perfect its technical
transmission and ac-
tual broadcasting fa-
cilities to the point of
highest efficiency. Fol-
lowing the installation
of a new 1000-watt
transmitter with ex-
ceptional modulation
qualities every possible
piece of accessory
equipment was dupli-
cated to anticipate any
emergency that might
arise. Weeks were
spent perfecting tech-
nical efficiency. Finally
the engineering de-
partment pronounced
its part as near perfect
as it could be. WPTF
Sufficient rev-
can only come
was ready to estab-
lish a record for first class transmission.
NEXT, consideration was given to the
studios and staff. All that is accepted
as modern was embodied in these depart-
ments to complete another important phase of a specialization pro-
gram. In its studios WPTF surpassed many of the older southern
stations by the installation of two complete broadcasting studios
connected with high level switching which permits the changing
nf programs from one studio to another without a moment's delay.
Another smaller studio serves a speaker's or announcer's purpose
and also offers a refuge for the artists awaiting their turn at the
microphone. A reception room where guests may see the actual
broadcasting through a large .plate ^lass, business offices and the
director's office complete tin- studio headquarters.
All rooms are equipped with several microphone outlets, mixing
facilities, and the walls are celotex covered, thus making it all
acoustically perfect.
With this phase well taken care of but one more feature needed

program at this one of the most popular
home stations on the coast.
attention — the station staff. In this department WPTF followed a
policy of gradual but intelligent advancement until at the present
time the personnel capably fills the duties of station director, three
announcers, publicity director, program director, commercial adver-
tising man and continuity writer, studio pianist and accompanist,
station hostess, and business office force.
By specialized distribution of work these various duties are easily
taken care of by six people, this group not including the engineering
department. Additional personnel will gradually be employed and
with the picture this well drawn WPTF found itself ready to
treat with two great problems of the independent broadcaster.
The next important question was talent. Where could we get
talent to compete with the great musical centers available to the
chain stations? At the outset this is the most serious problem of
all for many of the independent stations.
FORTUNE smiled on the Raleigh station as perhaps it has not
on any other station in the country, for within its own city
limits will be found six nationally known colleges. Within a few
miles of the city are such well known institutions as Duke Uni-
versity, University of North Carolina, Wake Forest College and
Campbell.
The North Carolina State College is close by the city limits,
while Meredith, Peace and St. Marys and several other smaller
girls' schools are also close at hand. As one may readily surmise,
during nine months of the year, and these are the most important
months, much high grade talent and many skilled and accomplished
musicians are available.
The city of Raleigh itself boasts of more than the average amount
of good talent, Raleigh being the state capital and having this
seemingly natural advantage. Then, too, within less than an hour's
ride in any direction
one comes to ten rep-
resentative American
cities. Wilson, Rocky
Mount, Durham,
Greensboro, Goldsboro,
Smithfield, Fayette-
ville, Dunn and Hen-
derson are all as large
as the average city
that in itself supports a
broadcasting station.
Within its hundred
mile area more than
2,200,000 people are
ready to offer their
best. "Where do you
obtain your talent?"
The answer is obvious.
And now let us take
up the remaining ques-
tion, and after all the
solution to the inde-
pendent broadcasters'
problem. "How does
your station meet its
costs?" The answer
should by now be seen.
Specialization first in
its equipment and
standards of operation,
and a high grade
standard of presenta-
tion not only technical
but also from the stu-
dio has drawn to
WPTF a large num-
ber of both local and
national firms that are
seeking this logical
means of gaining the
support of more than
2,200,000 people
throughout that 100-mile area. Then, too,
the many millions more to be found through
the remainder of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia are served best by
this one station located in the heart of the
Carolinas and bringing to these people the
only consistent and dependable Radio reception for the greater
portion of the year.
But all these facts and figures, true of Raleigh as they undoubtedly
are of other centers of population, do not offset the problem of
the WFIY, HOW and WHERE for the independent broadcaster.
They still remain the same three simple questions that confront, and
always will, the station that has to make its way alone. Their
solution as met by WPTF and as seen by its station manager
remains only a concentrated effort at specialization on the best
standards of presentation, both from the studio and from the trans-
mitting room.
Program schedules of consistent regularity spiced with variety
and a most general all around service must be presented in as good
form as the national chain to insure permanent independence.

°^ENR Nests Atop Civic Opera
Cjreat Lakes Broadcasting Stations to Have Eerie
Home in Chicago Castle of Musical Arts
NEAR the heart of the city of Chicago two magnificent
new buildings, each costing into the millions, are rearing
themselves on opposite banks of the Chicago river at
Madison street.
On the west bank will be the home of the Daily News —
a massive structure of steel and stone extending for the full ^5j
block over a plaza looking down on the lazy waters of the \
river.
On the east bank will be the great Civic
Opera building. Red steel beams are al-
ready streaking into the sky and soon they
too will be clothed with massive stone and
ornate facades, facing into the extension
of Chicago's marvel boulevard, the double
decked Wacker Drive, on one side and the
same sluggish .fiver to the west. * , ■
Crowning these two great structures will

arid above the Chicago
Civic Opera building
will be found the
studio headquarters
of the Great Lakes .
Broadcasting com-
pany, WENR-
WBCN, "The Voice
of Service."
ONLY recently did
these two sta-
tions celebrate their
first birthday anni-
versary as sister sta-
tions. Handicapped
by a comparatively
low wave they have
been broadcasting
some of the finest in-
dependent programs
in Chicago from their
present studios in the
Straus building on
Michigan avenue.
These stations are
owned by Samuel In-
sull interests, and Mr.
Insull, besides being a
powerful utilities
magnate, is also the
business mainspring
of Chicago's Civic
opera. Opera and
music represent the
hobby interests of
his life. He has
made the new Civic
Opera building pos-
sible just as he has
made electric lines,
facing bankruptcy courts, develop
institutions.
Chicago's wealthy citizens who have been subscribing to the
opera year after year with the inevitable deficit at the end will now
see their contributions turn into investments, according to the
sponsors of the new building. Rents for offices and auditoriums
in the opera building will probably pay all the opera deficits above
box office receipts, and allow for good returns to those who are
I'aying the building costs.
All of this is background for the picture in which the twin sta-
tions WENR-WBCN have their part. Already they have a trans-
mission station at Downers Grove, 111., with 50,000 watts of power.
During the summer they have been sending out post-midnight
experimental programs, using this great power by special permission
of the federal Radio commission. The returns from distant points
have been amazing. Will they be able to use this power when they
get under way in their permanent home in the Civic Opera building"?
That is one of several questions pending at the moment. Another
serious question pertains to the future wave of these twin stations,
now operating on 288.3 meters.
"The owners are willing and able to give these stations the very
best that money can buy in the
way of talent and service," said
one of the officials of the Great
Lakes Broacasting company to
a representative of Radio Digest,
"but they do not want to waste
their efforts. We are
trying to get a more
favorable wave. If
we are permitted to
use power and a good
channel, WENR-
WBCN will be able
to broadcast pro-
grams unsurpassed
by any organization
now on the air."
It was admitted
that hostile business
interests were active
in an effort to block
attempts of the Great
Lakes Broadcasting
company from im-
proving its facilities.
Chicago and all the
country within range
would doubtless be
able to hear not only
broadcasts of the
opera, but special
concerts by members
of the opera during
the season. Morgan
L. Eastman, director
of the Edison Sym-
phony orchestra, is
in charge of the pro-
grams and is the
veteran broadcaster
of Chicago. He be-
gan with the West-
inghouse station,
KYW, the first to go
on the air in the
Middle West.

Everett Mitchell, chief announcer, was formerly with WENR
when it belonged to the All-American company. He has a large
following of Radio fans who not only admire his manner of an-
nouncing, but also enjoy his mellow baritone voice in the ballads
that he sings now and then.
There are four regular and two relief announcers, two regular
and one relief organist, one 12-piece symphony orchestra, two reg-
ular mixed quartets, two male quartets, two comedy teams, string
trio, two accompanists, four harmony teams and four soloists on the
WENR-WBCN present staff. The two mixed quartets present two
light operas every week. The entire popular sta.ff takes part in a
comedy feature each Friday . Mr. Morgan intends to introduce
another orchestra from the Standard Oil company of Indiana be-
fore the winter season opens.
This outline of the present organization would seem to bear
out the promise of the powers behind WENR-WBCN that with
half a break in the way of favorable wave length and the
permission to use its power a great deal may be expected from
these broadcasters to be located on the new Civic Opera house.
It probably would be developed into one of the most important
of independent stations, as it has shunned outside affiliations.

Radio entertainment, this power-
fid independent station employs
sixty-three full-time artists and
maintains 110-hour schedule.
KSTP, the Northwest's newest Radio
station will, on October 29th, cele-
brate its "six month" birthda}r, being
on the air for one-half year at that
time. It was on March 29th that President
Calvin Coolidge in his studio at the White
House in Washington, pressed a button which
started the 10,000-watt transmitter of the Na-
tional Battery station and officially opened this
new station to the Northwest. This is the
first station opened by the President and was
the only station to broadcast his speech during
his recent visit to Minnesota.
Since that time KSTP has been serving the
public, and unlike most Radio stations which
lessen the hours of broadcast during the sum-
mer, KSTP increased its program and was
operating at full-winter time schedule during
the summer months. This was in accordance
with the policy adopted by President Lytton J.
Shields of the National Battery Broadcasting
Company when the station was opened.
At 7 a. m. the transmitter goes on the air
with stock market quotations and the shop-
per's guide and continues throughout the
day, running the gamut from commercial
announcements through the farm hour, the
children's hour, the baseball games, dinner
concerts, special musical entertainments and
through the DX journeys of the KSTP
Limited and the Midnight Club until 1 :00
a. m., or later, every week day. The Sunday
schedule is from 3 p. m. until 11 p. m.

up the KSTP staff. They came from every
section of the country with many years of
service in various Radio stations to serve
KSTP listeners. The station now has an
international audience because of the dis-
tance obtained through the power and qual-
ity of transmission. KSTP

^adio Reclaims Fallen Men
RECEIVING SET Privileges in Ohio Prison Improves
Morale and Stimulates Latent Ambitions
By James Gibson
MANY eminent sociologists maintain that the
person who deliberately violates the crim-
inal code has a mental twist inborn of which the
law-abiding world has no conception. For some
there is no hope. But for others who have drifted
into that condition from a borderland of bad en-
vironment there is hope — even after they have
fallen into the current that leads to prison walls.
James Gibson, the author of this article, is a
convict in a- penitentiary which once confined one
of America* s -greatest authors. He seems to be one
of the kind 'Who is finding himself — also by writ--
ing. He is 26 years old and was sentenced January
26, 1926, from Cleveland to the Ohio penitentiary
for not less than tzventy-three years for highway
robbery. — Editor.
GIVE state prisoners Radio and Radio will give the state men.
If you lock a bad man up alone with himself the associa-
tion is likely to make him worse. Give him something
worth while to occupy his mind, to admire, and he will
improve his habits.
Whether this be philosophy or mere wisecracking, I submit it for
what it is. worth to thoughtful people. I have a little time now for
reflection. Radio is "the trick to keep a prisoner thinking healthy

things.
Anyway it works
h e r e in the Ohio
- t a t e penitentiary
w here I have a
steady job along
with a lot of other
regular, workers
who wear the same
brand of gray uni-
forms. It works
here and I think it
probably would
work in any other
prison. We have
from 800 to 1,000
Radio receivers in
this place. The re-
ceivers are the best
little reformers in
the world. A man
has to be on his
good behavior to gmsmmmtmssix
have one, and once
he's got to using one it's a habit. He would about as soon give it up
as he would his right eye.
So every prisoner with a Radio set steps along on the up and up.
He is Radio minded, as they say nowdays. He has no time to think
up any deviltry. And that is what I suppose you call morale. Isn't
it worth while? I believe Warden P. E. Thomas figures it that way.
I le has been keen about Radio in his Big House from the beginning
and has encouraged the men to build their own sets. There are all
kinds of books about Radio in the prison library. Chaplain T. O.
Reed has also been strong for Radio. It's all over the place that the
warden and the chaplain are working hard to get a broadcasting
station for us. I suppose it would be hard to get a government
permit with so many stations on the air, but we are hoping they do.
I f we ever get_ a station here I don't think anybody would be sorry,
because there is plenty of talent to furnish swell programs — plenty
of musicians and good talkers.
SOME of these birds were Radio biiRs before they got here. Now
they are worse than ever. It certainly gives you a thrill to
tinker around with bits of wire and screws and plates just following
the dope on a hook-up from one of the library books, and then clamp
on a pair of headphones and catch a big line of chatter from outside
the walls, especially when you have been in here for quite a while,
like some of them have, and got to thinking of the Outside as some
ort of an unreal dream.
It Mire gives some of these old timers a kick. And the contrap-
iions they make from their ideas out of the books — you should see!
1 doubt if there are any two sets out of the thousand that are alike.
Seme of them would make good freaks for a museum. You would
wonder what the' started out to he. Bui don't worry, every set
means a lot to its owner. No matter how homely and goofy it
looks it is still his baby — like the child that only a mother could love.
Probably nobody else could love it for the simple reason that it
wouldn't work for anybody else.
You would soon realize what they think of Radios in the Ohio
prison if you could see the aerials strung around. There's no such
thing as an outside aerial except outside a cell. Long aerials and
short aerials are strung up and down the main corridors. The
windows are all draped with loop aerials.
Other aerials hang from the ceilings of the
cells like clotheslines and again you -will
find wires hooked to the bedsprings, which
serve as more aerials. The aerials and the
sets make those want them that aren't en-
titled, so they try for the privilege, and
that's another boost for .the morale.
THE set owner
works at his
prison job all day,
and he is thinking
of what he is going
to do to improve his
set, or what he is
going to get on the
air, and pictures to
himself the things
he heard the night
before. He gets a
lot more satisfac-
tion out of that
than trying to
scheme some dizzy-
way of trying to
escape, or what he is going to do to make somebody pay for getting
him into this jam.
What do we like to hear ? About the same kind of stuff most able-
bodied red-blooded he-men like. I think a snappy, fast and furious
ring fight goes over the best. I think the Dempsey-Tunney and
Tunney-Heeney fights were the most exciting things that ever
happened here. And you will always find that when a big fight is
in the offing there is a lot of preparation so nobody will miss a word
of it. Every set is tuned down to the last cat's whisker — we do have
some crystal_ sets. If the station is too far away for the weaker
sets to pick it up we are permitted to string a line from one of the
stronger sets along from cell to cell so that sometimes as many as
twenty are listening to one set.
Once a week we get the American Legion boxing shows from
Indianapolis with Ralph E'lvin at the ringside giving a snappy de-
scription of all the action blow by blow. But there is another kind
of fighting we like. That Mr. Fighting Henderson KWKH, Shreve-
port, La., makes a hit here. He certainly talks with forked lightning.
Besides that his station puts on very interesting programs.
WHEN it comes to music every man for himself. Some of
these bimboes have their ears high on their brows and
others have them down on their necks when it comes to
picking classy and sassy music. There was a census one
night not long ago and they found that fifty different broadcasting-
stations were coming into the Big House at the same time. Of
course, there are a lot of prisoners who go heavy for DX stuff and
then there are some who set their dials on a local and stick to it
through thick and thin, hoping if one number is not so good, the

^LW-WSAI Improve Efficiency
SlSTER Stations Broadcast Simultaneously JVith
Distinct Identities — Same Management
MOULDING the staffs of two rival
5000 watt Radio stations into
one production staff that serves
both, while still maintaining the
individual identity of each, is the interesting
broadcasting experiment being successfully conducted by the Cros-
lev Radio Corporation in Cincinnati.
For seven years the Crosley name has been known in the broad-
casting picture as the owner of WLW, one of the best known and
most popular Radio stations in the country. On May 12 last, in
ceremonies broadcast by both stations, Powel Crosley, Jr., presi-
dent, accepted the control of Station WSAI, the 5000 watt Cincin-
nati station owned for the past five years by the United States
Playing Card Company.
"We realize that each of the two stations has an individual identity
that endears it to vast numbers of its listeners. This identity we
shall keep even though we operate both stations with an organization
made up from the staffs of both," Mr. Crosley said.
When WSAI was moved over to the main plant of the Crosley
Radio Corporation where the studios and control room of WLW
are located, the executive, musical, operating, and program planning
staffs of the two stations were combined to form a single staff
working for both stations under the direction of Ford Billings, who
became the director of WLW on May 1. Only the announcers
are identified with a single station. As the new owner pointed
out, "the listener often comes to locate a favorite station by the
voice of an announcer."
Each station has its own program manager who sees that there
are programs for every minute of the broadcasting schedule. A
newly organized traffic department routes the programs of the two
stations to appropriate locations in the four studios of the organiza-
By Natalie Giddings
tion so that there are no conflicts when the
programs are produced. Continuity writers
prepare for both stations the type of ma-
terial for which they are best fitted.
There is no duplication in the program
material of the stations. Program features for the two stations
show no duplication. Entertainers and vocalists do not appear on
both stations. In this way, the listener associates a favorite enter-
tainer with only one station. A staff orchestra, however, serves
both stations, but a different type of music is reserved for each.
Four days after the announcement that WSAI had been taken
over by the Crosley Radio Corporation, a fourth studio had been
added to those already used by WLW and the control room had
been moved from Norwood, Ohio, to its new location next to the
WLW controls. There was not a break in the service furnished
by either transmitter. The four studios are used interchangeably
under the direction of the traffic department.
When WLWs new 50,000 watt transmitter is installed in Sep-
tember, the programs of both stations will be broadcast from Mason,
Ohio, the present location only of WSAI. The Harrison, Ohio,
site of the present WLW transmitter, and of 8XAL, the Crosley
short-wave set, will be given up when the WLW equipment is
installed in the new fireproof building constructed for it 40 feet
from the WSAI building.
Where many such mergers as that acomplished by WLW and
WSAI have resulted in a division of time on the air, the two Cin-
cinnati stations operate with augmented schedules. WLW regularly
is on the air more than 86 hours a week. WSAI averages more
than 80 hours.
There has been little change in the WSAI programs since the
change in the station's control except that listeners note them as
"vastly improved." Favorite features all were retained in addition
to the new ones that have been added.
Plans for adding new members in every department of its staff
of thirty now are being made. The Crosley stations are looking
forward to an era of broadcasting which promises to be spectacular
in every detail.
Considered among the assets of WSAI which were taken over by
the Crosley Radio Corporation were the Four K Safety Club with
its Two Clowns and Ferdinand, and Grace Clauve
Raine, musical directress of the station. Mrs. Raine
was made director of vocal music for both the Crosley
stations. The Two Clowns continue to entertain daily
at 6 :00 P. M. with their songs, stories, and talks
on safety for children. They count among their mem-
bers 160,000 children who have received Four K Safety
buttons because they know the five rules for safety.
Ferdinand, _ whose bedtime stories are rivaling Hans
Andersen in popularity, could not have his picture
taken because the lawnmower had just cut off his
beeeutiful golden curls.
WHEN Powel Crosley, Jr.,
took WSAI, the rival Cincin-
nati station, under his own
roof he was careful not to dis-
turb the ties created by that
station. The Two Clowns and
Ferdinand, a children's fea-
ture, toddlled over to WLW
house with their toys and their
stories to perform just as al-
ways. Mrs. Grace Clauve
Raine will prepare the same
type of musical programs.

kLANE NUMBER 45, The Chi-

reporting. We are now 25 miles
northeast of Omaha airport. Will
land at 8:03 a. m."
Messages similar to the above will be picked up from the air and
broadcast to the people waiting in airport depots for the arrival
of friends via airplane in the near future just as telegraphic reports
of the progress of railroad trains are now received and posted on
bulletin boards in railway stations today, if the results of the experi-
ments conducted the past summer during the Fourth National Air
Tour by the Crosley Radio corporation are a criterion.
Entry Number 19, which finished fourth in the aviation classic
of the year, was a Waco plane entered by the Advance Aircraft
company of Troy, Ohio, and the Crosley Radio corporation of Cin-
cinnati. It was equipped with a short wave transmitter especially
licensed by the federal radio commission to broadcast on 71.7
meters under the experimental call letters 8XAA. As the Crosley-
Waco ship went into fourth place at the very start of the race and
held this position until the end of the tour, it was always well up
among the first planes to land at the control points and accordingly
its broadcasts were of great assistance to the welcoming committees
and crews awaiting the contestants.
WILLIAM B. BALDWIN, Crosley representative, who had his
first taste of practical aviation during the world war handling
a machine gun with a Canadian punitive air squadron, operated the
transmitter and informed the waiting crowds and officials of the
approach of the tour planes to the various landing fields. The
information, due to the 25-mile range of the transmitter, ofttimes
reached the field long before the planes themselves hove into view.
Through the co-operation of the various local Crosley representa-
tives, arrangements were made in many cities to pick up the plane
broadcasts and rebroadcast them on waves in the broadcast spec-
trum by local stations. Crosley Showbox receivers, equipped with
the powerful Dynacone speakers, were provided at each field and
the messages from the Radio plane were heard by those gathered
at the field. In some cases, where local stations did not exist or
did not possess the equipment necessary to do the rebroadcasting,
low wave adapters were used with the regular sets and excellent
results obtained.
During the last few days of the tour, the procedure was reversed
and instead of having the planes send messages, a receiver was in-
stalled in place of the transmitter and local stations broadcast
greetings to the aerial fleet and weather reports, wind velocity and
direction at surface and other valuable information to the onrushing
planes.
The National Air Tour of 1928 started at Detroit on June 30
and after traveling over 6,000 miles across the country, up the
Pacific coast and back, the planes ended the race in the same city
on July 28. Charles W. Meyers, winner of last year's air derby

the 1927 National Air Tour, was at the
Tavlor stick on the Crosley- Waco plane.
» In addition to the big help given to
aviation by radio in the tour, it being the
first time that broadcasting was used in
the race and the first time that voice has been used in a trans-
continental flight, the talks given by Mr. Baldwin over stations
along the line of flight created good-will for air transportation.
Mr. Baldwin, at one time Radio reporter for the Manitoba Free
Press broadcasting station, gave a resume of the high lights of the
flight from stations in cities where the planes stopped over night.
At others he spoke via remote control from special luncheons
arranged at the airports where the noonday stop was made.
The 1928 tour was not the first one in which Radio played a part.
In the 1927 National Air Tour, Powel Crosley, Jr., entered his
plane and carried a new model receiver for display at the various
fields. The success of the experiment was so satisfactory that Mr.
Crosley decided to go a step further this year and equipped the
plane with the transmitter. Besides the regular broadcast listeners
who were able to keep up with progress of the tour in the vicinity
of their homes by means of the rebroadcasts of 8XAA announce-
ments, amateur operators tuning to the 71.7 meter band were able
to follow the plane over a large part of its route.
Mr. Crosley has been conducting experiments with airplane
broadcasting in association with the United States Army Air Forces
for several years, especially with those at Dayton, Ohio, fields.
It was through WLW that the first broadcasting from an airplane
was rebroadcast through a regular BCL channel. Many years ago
Powel Crosley, Jr., had a receiver and an amplifier in an airplane
which flew over Cincinnati picking up band music from the station,
being heard by residents all over the city and at one time over the
line of march of a parade.
Every day traffic over the air lanes becomes heavier. New lines
are being formed, more ships launched. Every town of any size
is at work planning or laying out airports. As the schedules
become more complex, methods of checking departures and arrivals
will have to be perfected. Thus it seems that the experiments
conducted during the recent National Air Tour can be studied to
good advantage when every plane will be equipped with receiving
and sending Radio apparatus. Radio will be the dispatching system.

to him valuable information on all phases of agriculture through
the many talks broadcast by the leaders in agriculture.
But this service has not been conrined to farm information
and the like. YVLS started out to give genuine service in the
way of entertainment, too, and the success of the entertainment
programs is evidenced by the fact that WLS has long ranked
as one of the leading and most popular stations in the country.
And Variety with a capital V is the rule at WLS — something
for everybody, whether he be interested in the weather reports,
a humorous bit of cross-talk, or religious services and hymns.
The station broadcasts everything from church services to
the old-time barn dance, symphony orches-
tra and opera. WLS has always endeavored
to build unique programs originally and has
encouraged personality and spontaneity.
The WLS Little
Brown Church in the
Yale, services of which
are conducted right in
the studio by mem-
bers of the regular
staff, is known as the
most unusual church
in the world because
of the fact that twenty-
one nationalities and
twenty different re-
ligious creeds are rep-
resented among its
membership, which
numbers many thou-
sands.
And then on the
National Barn Dance
programs, which are
held every Saturday
night, and which have
become a national in-
stitution, the fiddlers
play the old-time barn
dance tunes. There
are quartets, harmony
teams and soloists
who sing the old and
new songs; there are
various instrumental
combinations, such as
Walter Peterson,
known as "The Ken-
tucky Wonderbean,
with His Double Bar-
relled Shotgun" — har-
monica and guitar in
combination — and Ha-
waiian music by Cecil
and Esther Ward, who
have been popular
favorites at the station
for three years.
There is a wide va-
riety of songs, such as
the old Kentucky and
Tennessee mountain
ballads, sung by I'rad-
ley K i n c a i d. ''The
.Mountain Hoy," who
was born and raised in
the mountain districts, and old Scotch
songs and character sketches by Bob
Hendry, known to thousands in the
Radio audience as "The Smilin' Scotch-
man." And the variety continues on
through the other entertainment pro-
grams.
There are Radio musical plays, there
are symphony concerts by such well
known organizations as the Little Sym-
phony Orchestra of Chicago, there are classical male and mixed
quartet programs, string ensemble broadcasts, programs by
famous instrumental and vocal concert stars.
And WLS, top, has set a new standard in the broadcasting
of choral music. During the period from October 1, 1927, to
July I, 1928, 12 different choral organizations with a personnel
of .2,100 people were heard in programs over WLS, and these
i Ik. ui-.es included such well known groups as the Apollo Club
of 100 voices, the Chicago Bach Chorus of 225 voices, the
Chicago Welsh Male Choir of (io voices, the Haydn Choral
Society of HO per, pie, the Chicago Madrigal Club, the Lutheran
Teachers Chorus and many famous church choirs.
And still another touch of the variety in WLS programs
Tiny Renier, the Singing Cowboy, who
rounds up the listeners with his West-
ern songs at WDAF, Kansas City. He's
a real cowboy from the open spaces.
comes in the original WLS showboat, which takes its mythical
trip on the air each Friday night at 10 o'clock and brings to
the Radio audience a replica of the famous old showboat that
steamed up and down the rivers years ago bringing their boat-
loads of entertainment to the populace of the river cities and
towns. All the atmosphere of these river entertainment palaces
is brought to the Radio audience through the WLS Show-
boat— the steamboat whistles, the swish-swash of the paddle
wheels, the trials and tribulations of the captain and his crew,
the docking of the boat and the entertainment "on the top
deck." Years of practice have made it possible to perfect the illu-
sion until one can fancy the scene and all the personalities aboard,
how they are dressed and what they are doing as they are heard
in the various characters represented.
So popular has this type of farm and home service and enter-
tainment Radio program idea developed at
WLS that Sears, Roebuck and Co. has grad-
ually been extending it to other sections of
the country over other stations. From that
definite idea of service four
years ago has come the
Sears-Roebuck Radio Serv-
ice, and now these farm
. and home programs are
broadcast regularly over
the following stations:
WSB at Atlanta, Ga.;
WMC at Memphis, Tenn.;
WFAA at Dallas, Texas,
and KMBC at Kansas
City, Mo. Radio men
trained in the WLS school
of service are in charge of
the Sears-Roebuck Radio
Service programs at these
Stations: George C. Big-
gar, identified with WLS
since the first program, is
in charge at KMBC, Mar-
quis Smith is director at
WMC; William Wilkerscn
is in charge at WSB; and
Bob Poole directs at
WFAA, Dallas, Texas.
The growth of this serv-
ice has been so important
and has such a big place in
the Radio field, and plans
for expansion are develop-
ing so rapidly, a central-
ized organization has be-
come necessary. The
Sears - Roebuck Radio
Service is the result, and
Edgar L. Bill, who has
guided the destinies of
WLS for so long a time
as director, and who is the
man who has been largely
responsible for bringing
WLS to its high rank as
well as developing" this
Radio service to its present
high plane was recently
named director of all Ra-
dio for Sears, Roebuck
and Co. Don Malin, who
.,,.._ , has been with WLS since
PPPB^j^Tanuary, 1926, as musical
director, and who has
played a big part in the
growth and development of affairs at the
station is the new director of WLS. A
thorough student of music, a capable
pianist, and well in touch with things
agricultural, Mr. Malin came to WLS
from the farm journal field. Harold A.
Safford, who came to WLS a year ago
from the newspaper field where he was
managing editor of the Daily Argus-
Leader at Sioux Falls, S. D., has been
named assistant director. He is also violinist and announcer.
Mr. Malin and Mr. Safford, in addition to their many duties
connected with the planning of programs and handling of
affairs at WLS, also divide the announcing of the evening pro-
grams. Fred L. Petty is in charge of the farm and market
programs at WLS. Mr. Petty came to WLS three years ago
and is thoroughly in touch with the farm situation, having been
a practical farmer and seen much service as editor of leading
farm journals.
Ellen Rose Dickey is home adviser at WLS and, under her
direction, the service idea in Radio is carried to the home. Well
known as a director of home economics. Mrs. Dickey came to
WLS from her farm home in Southern Illincis.

Old Judge for Anniversary

IN THE heart of the Tennessee hills, within shooting distance
of New York, Chicago, New Orleans, and Jacksonville, to say
nothing of the Fiji Islands and Alaska, stands WSM, "We
Shield Millions," owned and operated by The National Life,
and Accident Insurance Company, whose Home Office is Nashville,
Tennessee. WSM will swing into its fourth year on the air this
fall and to commemorate this event, a large studio, built first to
incorporate the latest ideas in acoustical treatment, is being erected.
While WSM is known from coast to coast and from border to
border for its Saturday night "Grand Old Op'ry," often referred to
by critics as the music of the hills and the streams, it by no means
restricts its service to a barn dance program. Plans have been
carefully laid to extend the schedule of the station beginning Sep-
tember 1st, when several large programs will be added each week
which will command the services of the best artists in the South.
While the "Shield" station is a member of the National
Broadcasting Company's family, and handles many of its out-
standing programs each week, a realization is always kept in
mind that the Radio audience of America expects an individ-
uality from each of its favorite Radio stations.
WSM put its back to the wall and fought for the sufferers in
the recent Mississippi flood ; it has served Tennessee through two
major elections, staying on the air for a period of
fourteen hours in one case and nine in the other, until
a decision was reached by the voters ; it offered help to
the Red Cross in the Florida disaster and maintains a
daily service sponsored by the various departments in
the State Government of Tennessee. It is a member
of the family of the United States Department of
Agriculture, so classed by handling bulletins that will
help the farmers of the Mid-South.
Edwin W. Craig, Vice President of The National Life and
Accident Insurance Company, has been a Radio fan for seven or
eight years. He realized the possibility of this great science as an
instrument of good will, and caused the station to be erected in
the summer of 1925 and put on the air for its opening program
October 5th of that year. A month later he engaged George D.
Hay, "The Solemn Old Judge," winner of the Radio Digest's first
announcer's Gold Cup, to be the Director. The "Judge" has been
on the job for about three years.
During that time many unusual and novel features have been
introduced to give WSM a distinctive character consistent with its
surroundings. Typical personalities have helped to develop the
atmosphere of the mountains and the countryside.
Where many stations have shown
retrogression away from the more
populous areas WSM has shown de-
cided growth. It has been of special
service to the farmer and now that it has proved its real value to
the community the new studio has been deemed in order.
"And you may tell your readers that we are all very happy over
the appreciation that has been shown for our efforts at this station,"
said the Solemn Old Judge, famous in and out of Dixie.

k MERICA'S first great international
J\ orchestra contest comes to a happy
/ \conclusion with the presentation this
September of the seven plaques to
the seven winners.
Of all the great contests Radio Digest
has sponsored for the Radio fans this first
international contest for the world's most
popular orchestra has proved the most sat-
isfactory. It has stirred up the greatest
amount of enthusiasm on the part of the
listeners, and loyalty for the entertainers
who devote themselves to the task of
presenting the best possible music to their
respective Radio audiences.

the Radio Digest Gold Plaque and the title
of "The World's Most Popular Orchestra."

to Winner
Voted Most Popular
WNAX, Yankton, South Dakota, is the man who put the zeal
and the pep into the campaign. He has not only made the
Gurney orchestra popular, but has stimulated an intense feeling
of loyal support for his station on the part of all of his listeners.
This was proven indisputably by the total vote cast, 411,692 —
a clean victory.
In answer to a request for information about his station and
his organization, Mr. Gurney wrote as follows :
"Station WNAX went on the air February 28th, 1927, ten
days after our company had decided to put in a Radio Station.
This broadcasting license was purchased from the Dakota Radio
apparatus company of Yankton, which had been operating Sta-
tion WNAX for about six years.
"The station when it was first put into operation,
February 28, 1927, was 100-watt power, formerly
called a 'Hay-Wire Station.' Mechanically it looked
like an awful job. The way we found out whether
it would work or not was to put a canary bird in the
center of the machine, and if it could fly out there was
something wrong, but if the canary bird stayed in,
why then everything should work all right.
"But I want to tell you that it certainly got results
in the way of listeners. Many, many letters were
written in to us, stating that the 100-watt
station was coming in very clear ; compared
favorably with the reception from some of
the larger stations. However, knowing the
requirements of the federal radio commis-
sion and desiring also to reach a larger
territory, we contracted, during the month
of April, 1927, for a 1,000-watt, Western
Electric -transmitter, and this was installed
in our new studio on August 22nd, 1927.
"Our Crystal studio is 20x30 feet, and
has accommodated, quite a few times, a
band of thirty and thirty-five pieces, and
due to the fact that our broadcasting sta-
tion is located in a city of only 6,000 people,
it has been necessary for us, in order to se-
cure good musicians and entertainers, to
give them a regular salary and keep them
on as full time paid
musicians and en-
tertainers. Due to .. _
this fact, many of - /; /^M„j:,.,^^,^m^..,
our entertainers
that are with us to-
day have been with
us since starting the
Radio more than a
year. ago.
"We feel that it is -.
the variety of pro-
grams and the qual-
ity of each group
58
RADIO DIGES T— Illustrated
of ntertainers or entertainer on our program that keeps our
listeners with us. Each separate group of entertainers is given a
different time on the air each day. For instance, today they may be
on the air at eight o'clack in the morning and tomorrow they may
start at nine, and that way all during the day. Each group of en-
tertainers is given four to five times on the air each day, of from
fifteen to thirty minutes.
"Gurney's Concert WNAX Orchestra is of course the feature of
our program.
"While they may not receive as many letters from fans as some
of the individual artists, it is the background of our station. Some-
thing that all of the other entertainers tie to, and gain their listeners
from.
"We were fortunate to secure, on about the first of January,
Jirnest H. Lower, who for five years has been drum-major of the
American Legion Monohan Post band of Sioux City, Iowa. This
Monohan Post band has taken five World Championship prizes,
at the legion annual convention, having won first place at Paris
last year, and they will take in the legion convention this year at
San Antonio, with Ernest Lower at the head. Er-
nest Lower is program director and director of the
Radio orchestra at this time.
"Our station is equipped with an auditorium and
there has not been a Sunday, since starting our
station, that we have not had three thousand visitors
or more. Our largest attendance was on one day
about six weeks ago, on Sunday, at which time we
had a wedding in the studio, music furnished by our
orchestra. This wedding in conjunction with our
regular spring, or June Peony Day, brought in
twenty-seven thousand visitors.
"I want to say in conclusion that our company is
now starting off on its sixty-third business year.
Our company was established in 1866 by Colonel
C. W. Gurney, my grandfather, and was con-
tinued by D. B. Gurney, my father, who is still
at ( the head of the management of the business.
"In regard to our Radio transmitter, will say that
we are keeping up to date on all new improvements
m Radio and have just purchased the new Piezo
oscilator and modula-
tor control put out by
the Western Electric
company. This to be
added to our present
1,000 watt Western
Electric transmitter,
which was installed
August 22, 1927,
"We have also or-
dered a new condenser
type microphone which
is put out by the West-
ern Electric company
and this will be in-
stalled within the next
few weeks. Our sta-
tion is the only station
in the two Dakotas
that operates on a reg-
ular schedule full time
from six o'clock in the
morning until eight
o'clock at night, and
we expect and hope
that we will receive
permission from the
Radio commission to broadcast until a later hour each evening."
AFTER the adherents of the South Dakota station had registered
their deluge of votes the Seven Aces, "All eleven of them," ran
the next highest score. Texas is just as loyal, but the people are
scattered over a much broader area. It is more difficult for them to
get together in an organized way to put over such a project as an
orchestra contest. But the fact that they rolled up 237,080 votes
indicates a sincere and powerful drive to bring the Gold Plaque to
Dixieland. They are regular Columbia recording artists and have
a tremendous following all through the South.
Walter C. Krausgrill, chief of the Balconades Ballroom orchestra,
broadcasting over KFRC, San Francisco, ran third in popularity
in the international vote. This orchestra entered the contest a little
late, but once it got started it rolled up a heavy vote, amounting to
94,669. The Krausgrill orchestra is also a record maker, having
produced several selections for the Okeh company.
Fourth in the number of votes cast was the Canadian orchestra,
Guy Waikins and his Art Harmony Seven, Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan. With the facilities of CFQC this snappy organization has
during the past eight years built up a reputation among the Radio
listeners that extends even beyond the boundaries into the western
section of the United States. In fact, letters of commendation have
come from every section of Canada and every state in the Union.
Mr. Watkins is careful to diversify his programs so as to include
classical and standard musical numbers as well as dance selections.
It is not always the performing artist who achieves the greatest
success for a musical organization. In New Orleans a great deal
of credit is given Clyde Randall, director-announcer for WSBM,
for the success of the Dixola orchestra in winning the Silver Plaque
for the southern district. Mr. Randall says of this orchestra:
"T^HE Dixolas for 117 weeks, playing very Monday night for
JL two hours with professional singers. Our mythical train, "The
WSMB," featured them especially, and we have received as many
as 400 telegrams and 2,000 letters for a single program. The mem-
bers are not professional musicians, but youngsters who work in
clerical positions. Narvel Makofsky, the director, is a finished
violinist, saxophone player, cellist, pianist and is a good drummer,
besides being a wild cat with the* fair sex. When the plaque arrives
we shall have pictures taken in the studio — stills and movies."
Richard Christensen, manager for the Paul Christensen orchestra,
WHO, Des Moines, winner of the silver plaque for the midwest
district, writes as follows :
"The Paul Christensen orchestra was organized two years ago
this fall especially for the Fort Des Moines hotel at Des Moines,
Iowa. After our first 'mike' test we were put on the air on an
_ average of five hours
weekly from Station
WHO, the Bankers
Life station at Des
Moines. What small
measure of success we
have had we attribute
mainly to three fac-
tors; first, the kind-
ness and cooperation
of the Bankers Life
company and its Radio
staff, the staff includ-
ing the expert techni-
cal work of the Whit-
ney Bros., the inimita-
ble announcing of Dean
Cole and the level
headed management of
director W. H. Heinz.
Second, the liberties
allowed us by the man-
agement of Hotel Ft.
Des Moines, and third-
ly to the loyalty of our
boys.
"During our first
season we were 'picked
out of the air' by the
manager of Hiawatha
Gardens at Manitou,
Colo. He liked us well
enough to come a thou-
sand miles to give us
a personal hearing.
After the hearing we
signed contracts for
the summer season at
Manitou and since that
time we have followed
a program of nine
months at the Ft. Des
Moines hotel followed
by three months at
Manitou, making a full
year-around job for
us with just time
enough off to jump

from one location to the other,
our contracts for this program
"The past winter season our Radio friends joined in a request
for some records by our band. A request that was granted by the
Brunswick company, for whom we recorded 'Smile' and 'Just
Across the Street From Heaven,' two records which sold so well
that we are booked for more recordings in September.
"Following the release of our first record we played a group of
five engagements out of Des Moines. On every one of the five we
broke all previous attendance records for the halls. Proof of which
I should be glad to furnish on request. Credit can be given only to
the Radio for our success on those engagements.
"Our boys are all under thirty years of age and seem to have
only one goal in mind, which is to make our band the best and
cleanest in our locality if not In the whole country.
"Paul and I have worked side by side for ten years and now as
partners we have held the same bunch of boys together for two
years and expect to hold them for some time to come. A fact of
which we are perhaps a shade more proud than we are of the
progress of the band since its conception."
Apparently the effete East does not take its Radio orchestra so
seriously. Perhaps it is because there are so many orchestras the
general population is more broadly divided in its affections. The
returns showed a great many candidates in the East, but no one
station achieving the united following accorded Gurney and Kraus-
grill.
The highest total in the eastern district was received by the
Century orchestra, playing at WMAK, Buffalo.

WBBM Attains Dual Ambition
PRODUCES Quality to Win Listeners
And Makes Station Pay Profit
GOOD evening, ladies and gentlemen — Radio Station WBBM of Chicago greets
you and trusts that you are in a receptive mood. We shall be with you in a
continuous program of selected features until 11 o'clock. The WBBM Air
Theatre offers unusual facilities for your entertainment.
Thus, the voice of Hugh Aspinwall, Chief Announcer of WBBM, comes on the air
each evening at 7 o'clock, introducing to the Radio audience such celebrities of the
ether as Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians, who in the past year have become
a household word among the listeners of the Middle West.
Remember "way back when" Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawks Orchestra first
entertained you from WDAF at Kansas City? This novel orchestra is also featured
over this station and just for good measure you may listen to the scintillating dance
music of Fred Hamm and His Collegians, by letting your dials rest in the same place.
From its Kimball Hall Studio WBBM offers Vi Bradley, Studio Accompanist, and
the Little Symphony Orchestra known as 'the Studio* Ensemble, consisting of ten
pieces which is under the direction of Beulah Rosine.
For laughing purposes only, the pioneer Radio comedian, Art 'Linick, has been
chosen to appear before the microphone of
WBBM at 8 :20 each evening, presenting
his original creation, "Mr. Schlagenhauer,"
in the form of a comic strip. Art also
comes on the air later in the evening with
comedy songs and patter. A young man
very well known to the ; folks of Radio-
land also entertains over this station.
He is none other than Lee Simms, who
has made a very sensational success by his
individual style of playing the piano.
On Saturday night at midnight we hear
the happy-go-lucky entertainment of the
"Old Gray Mare Club" and on Sunday at
midnight and until the early hours of Mon-
day morning WBBM entertains its listeners
by presenting "The Nutty Club." Both of
these organizations are in charge of the
inimitable Charlie Garland, who is also the
jovial director of this station.
During the past twelve months WBBM
has advanced to a most enviable position
among the independent broadcasting sta-
tions, for it has not only mounted to
notable success as an artistic entertainer
but it has been conspicuously successful as
a commercial station.
The station is owned by Leslie and Ralph
Atlas, brothers, who came into Chicago with
a small amateur station which they soon
built up into a leading position. For a
year they were with the Stewart- Warner
company in Chicago, when their programs
became nationally famous.
With a new wave in a favorable range

the North Side down to the loop,
taking over the studio first estab-
lished by the late Charlie Erbstein
and later occupied by WENR, when
that station belonged to the Ail-Amer-
ican Radio Corporation.
In the tie-up with Guy Lombardo and His Royal
Canadians both WBBM and orchestra profited enormously
in prestige for station and orchestra.

Mrs. McNamee Real Helper
(Continued from page 27)
As we strolled into the music room to
look at several scrapbooks on the table, Mrs.
McNamee pointed out the Radio Digest
Gold Cup.
"Graham and I were so happy when he
won the Gold Cup. Wasn't it lovely of all
those fans to vote for him?"
"Oh, that little silver cup is mine and I
am very proud to have it. I put it next to
the Gold Cup so that everyone will know
that I have it," she said when I pointed out
a little silver cup which stood on the table
next to the Gold Cup. Mr. Atwater Kent
gave me that for being the Original Radio
Widow. See, it has my name on it."
I thought that I would see how the wife
of a great announcer reacts to admiring
letters from other women. "Doesn't Mr.
McNamee get a lot of fan mail?"
"He gets some of the dearest letters," said
Mrs. McNamee. "And they send him so
many things. One sweet old lady with
whom I have corresponded sends us lovely
flowers from her garden. We have had the
most beautiful roses all spring."
"But doesn't he get any mash notes," I
persisted.
"Yes, we do get some pathetic letters
from women who imagine they are in love
with him. But don't you think they must
lead very empty lives to fancy they are in
love with a voice. I feel so sorry for them.
It is my job to answer their letters because
Graham would never have time. He is so
busy with his broadcasting and his concert
work. He has always kept his singing and
his broadcasting separate. The Radio audi-
ence know him as an announcer and the
musical audience as a singer. He has given
over 150 concerts."
"How does he have time to plan his con-
certs?" I asked amazed.
"I help him all I can," she confessed. "I
was a musician before I was married and I
often do research work for him on his pro-
grams and plan his selections. I am work-
ing on his next concert now."
I looked around the little apartment, the
comfortable living rooms designed in soft
tones that would be restful to a busy man
as highly strung as Graham McNamee is
most of the time. It takes a lot of tact,
quick thinking and discretion to be where
he is today. Intuition is really something
every announcer should have, and that
means you have to be very sensitive. I could
see Mr. McNamee coming home to rest.
After all, isn't that the most important gift
a wife can have; the gift of being a restful
person ? The bedroom is carried out in
lavender tones. You can see the lavender
silk covers and curtains.
Before I left I felt I should find out how
an announcer feels toward his announcing.
"Graham feels as if he were a mirror. He
tries to give his Radio audience the picture
he sees as vividly as possible. After all, he
is the eyes of millions of listeners. Isn't it
a big responsibility? I call him a sieve
which isn't, perhaps, poetic, but expresses
what a good announcer should be better
than a mirror does."
And with that, my dears, I came away,
leaving her listening to Graham McNamee's
voice. Isn't she sweet?
Radio Brings Alaska Nearer
(Continued from page 35)
cause of securing local self government for
the people of Alaska, and eventual state-
hood. Thousands of our people live in re-
mote or isolated areas without newspapers,
telegraph, and only infrequent mails. We
serve these inland folk and the sreat num-
ber of seafaring people in the fishing indus-
tries who are abroad upon the Territorial
and North Pacific waters.
"Besides a daily service of news and in-
formation of general interest each day we
broadcast weather and market reports,
movements of boats, fish prices, and general
music and feature entertainment. Prac-
tically all the boats of the fishing fleet are
now equipped with radio receiving sets."
Mr. McCain says it is the purpose of
KGBU to furnish fully and adequately the
service and entertainment needed by the
various Alaskan communities.
All during the past winter the school
teachers throughout the territory have tuned
in KOMO at an appointed hour to listen to
a teachers' institute program. There are
approximately 250 teachers, many of them
several months' travel from the Seattle
headquarters. They go into the interior to
bury themselves for two or three years
from other contact with the world. For
them. the radio has been a Godsend. Their
reports to Superintendent Wagner state
that radio has entirely changed their daily
life. Instead of being limited to the com-
panionship of only the native Eskimos and
hearing the strange jargon of the Eskimo
Sam Guard (center), who conducts the farmers' round
table at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, for Westing-
house KFKX with callers who take part in Radio chats.
language they have been able to hear the
voices from the homeland and find a great
deal of entertainment to while away the
long winter evenings.
And thus radio bridges the enormous
gaps between the great mountain chains
and impassable snows. Nerve centers are
kept alive. Civilization proceeds along the
natural channel of communication and
Alaska awakens to an inter-speaking entity.
It hears the things we all hear — the na-
tional conventions, the voices of the nation's
chosen leaders, the great entertainments and
it speaks within itself, and to its country-
men across the continent.
One of these days Alaska will find a way
to unfold itself and deliver the treasures of
its mighty storehouse to the world. Radio
is helping mightily.
Chicago Radio Stars Cruise
(Continued from page 40)
entertainers. Now Phil has become an in-
dispensable member of every Radio party —
and he plays no favorites.
The old crib was the first stop. It was
the first crib built for Chicago and has been
in service since the time of the civil war.
"But they used good timber in those days,"
said Mr. Gayton, "and we are still able to
utilize much of it that has been submerged
during that time."
Like swarming pirates the Radio folk
took possession of the old castle, scaling
the walls and climbing dizzy ladders to the
lighthouse tower. Then back on the Edora
with Captain Mullen at the wheel and nos-
ing the Edora toward the smoke line of the
Gary steel mills.
Mrs. Plummcr, Mrs. Taylor, the Reh-
berg girls and at times others ventured to
the bridge and chatted with the captain, a
big, kindly man who patiently answered
innumerable questions pertaining to naviga-
tion. He told of ocean voyages and myster-
ious mirages of lake and sea. He pointed
out a channel that will lead from Lake
Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico.
Lillian Rehberg, one the best cellists in
America, delighted in tolling the hour on
the ship's bell. Her sister, Esther, remained
alone on the bridge when the others went
below for sandwiches and coffee. Then it
was that Matty spied her with coat fastened
tight around her neck and brought her a
steaming hot cup of coffee — a gallant lad
is the KYW skipper.
There's a step down from the main deck
to the stern with built-in seats at either
side of the gangway. Darrel L. Gross,
New York lawyer, taking a special post
graduate course at the University of Chi-
cago and announcing between times at
KYW, found one of these seats at the same
time as did Miss Sally Menkes of WENR.
They occupied the
seat together for the
most of the trip
around the end of
the lake. On the
other side Everett
Mitchel, announcer
at WENR sat with
Mrs. Mitchell and
Herman's frau and
one or two other
WENR celebrities.
Cards took the
place of the punch
bowl on the way
back with Mike and
Herman, Fred Jeske,
Yank Taylor, Evans
P 1 u m m e r, Steve
Trumbull and Bill
Fosberg sitting in
and out and all to-
gether in deuces
wild. (Mike and
Herman, you know,
are Arthur Welling-
ton and Jimmy Mur-
ray, respectively, of WENR).
"Never play deuces wild," cautioned
Matty, refusing to be drawn into this game.
But give him a pinochle hand and he's
happy. Yes, he plays for money too.
THE sun was low in the west as the
Edora headed up the river again. Mar-
cella, who had conserved two hard boiled
eggs against the contingency of short ra-
tions and being shipwrecked on a desert isle,
divided with her fellow staff member. At
the Michigan avenue bridge she disembarked
with Maurice Wetzel who was due at the
studio. The Edora sailed back through the
channel and the skyscraper canyons, under
and through the bridges. There was still
the part of a can of orange juice as the
crowd waved good-bye to Captain Mullen
at the Edora's dock and roared away for a
beefsteak snack at the Taylors.
Yesterday, from the time these lines were
written, the Edora took a WLS party to
Waukegan and crashed through a squall
that tossed chairs into the lake. But it was
all good fun, that is what has helped to
make Chicago broadcasting cheery and
worth while during the summer of 1928.
Mention also should be made of the side
trips arranged by Mr. Alt to the old crib
near the mouth of the river for the fish
dinners. Here the hungry Radio entertain-
ers were enabled to toss their own lines
into the water where there always are
plenty of sizable perch and a few white-
fish waiting for the opportunity to seize a
hook. The fish were prepared in the kitchen
of the crib keepers and served within a few
feet of where they were caught— delicious
and appetizing.
Three cheers for Phil Alt — may his tribe
increase, if he can keep the pace !

Joe Green Prefers Hammers to Horns]
(Continued from page 44)
refused to be torn from the fascinating, flashing hammers. We
had seen and heard xylophone players before, and had taken
them largely for granted, like the languid gentlemen who stand
off in the rear of an orchestra with detached expressions and
occasionally bend careless bows over bass-viols. But this was
different. The .performer was doing things to the instrument
and, though we heard but faintly, getting harmonies out of it
such as we had never before associated with the xylophone. The
guide went on.
"You observe the room is practically soundproof, and yet — "
"W h o e v e r is
that?" we inter-
rupted, pointing a
rude finger at the
young man with the
hammers.
"Oh, that's Joe
Green playing on the
Sunlight Hour," was
the reply.
The name stirred
up some misty mem-
ory, but perceiving
that our companion's
mind was running in
other channels, we
somewhat reluctantly
permitted him to
lead us on to new
pastures. What we
really wanted to do
was to stay and see
more of that per-
formance.
Quite some time
later, in the custody
of another host, we
peered into a second
studio. The sweet
rhythmic throbbing
of a marimba (that
Central American
cousin of the xylo-
p h o n e) from the
loud speaker outside
drew us like the
fabled pipe of
Hamelin. Finding
our eyes not quick
enough to follow the
performer's hands,
we looked at his
face. It was flushed
with exertion and
somehow familiar.
■ "This is Joe Green
and his Marimba
Band playing on the
Moonlight H o u r,"
said our mentor.
"Ah, indeed," we
returned. The plot
was thickening.
So a little later,
on approaching yet
another of the ap-
parently endless suite
of broadcasting rooms, which range
from small, intimate chambers to huge
concert studios, capable of seating the
large symphonies and such big organiza-
tions as the Goldman Band, we fore-
stalled our guide.
"No, don't tell us. We know. It will
be Joe Green broadcasting on the Starlight Hour."
He laughed. "No, I believe Mr. Green is through for tonight.
I don't wonder you were expecting him, however. He usually
is broadcasting somewhere." And then he began enumerating
the Radio hours in which the xylophonist is featured, either as a
leader of one of his orchestral units or as a soloist.
"But, my word," we remonstrated. "Is he the only man in
New York who can play these things they beat upon with
hammers?"
"He is the only one who can play them like Joe Green," was
the reply.
The xylophone, the pronunciation of which seems to cause so
much uncertainty among announcers (though why one wonders,
for Phyfe says it is zi — long i— like in Fido), is to many of us
the musical instrument upon which we made our initial attempt
at producing harmony. Ours seems to have appeared upon the
horizon' of consciousness about the time when, like Christopher
Dot Ryker (left) and Ruth Mack, the Sing-
ing Banjo Girls of WJZ, are versatile. When
fingers are tired they use trumpets for a
change. Soon they will be as famous as
Joe Green.
Robin, we were six. It was a gorgeous shining thing about
half a yard long, and the aunt who was responsible for it,
laboring under the inborn conviction that the infantile mind
should be cultivated at every opportunity, informed us seriously
that it was not just a toy, but that one could learn to play a tune
upon it. When scratched gently with a hammer it made a
delicious, shivery noise, and after its resonant qualities had been
exhausted, it proved to be a wonderful train trestle when placed
from chair-rung to chair-rung. It is quite obvious that Joe Green
did not put his first xlyophone to such original uses.
And after witnessing his performance, we left the studio that
night determined to learn more of this virtuoso of the agile
hammers. The alert young gentlemen of the press department
of the National
Broadcasting Com-
pany, however, ap-
parently knew little
of Joe Green's his-
tory, musical or per-
sonal.
"But don't you
know he is abso-
lutely unique?" we
protested. "Do you
know of any other
orchestra leader who
plays the xylophone?
They usually play
the violin or piano."
But when one is
accustomed to brush-
ing shoulders a n d
exchanging hats
daily with all the
great and near-great
in the musical world
of New York, one
orchestra leader
more or less is not
likely to cause one to
become overly ex-
cited. However,
with their usual
courtesy, they prom-
ised to do their best.
For some time
running Joe Green
to earth took on all
the ear - marks of
chasing a chimera,
and when lie was
finally produced in
the flesh — one hun-
dred and seventy
pounds of him — one
readily understood
why he wasn't to be
found standing
around in studio cor-
ners waiting to be
interviewed.
Like everyone else
in New York who is
getting anywhere, he
seems to be busy.
Despite the prevail-
ing delusion in the
minds of the Radio
public that orches-
tras function auto-
matically, and after an hour's broadcast-
ing— also considered light, easy diversion
— they scatter to other pursuits until the
next Radio hour ; there arc such things as
rehearsals, arrangements and more re-
hearsals, all of which leave a leader
appearing on as many features as Mr.
Green little time for what was his principal activity for years
before becoming a Radio star — the making of phonograph records.
Yet Joe Green has made over three thousand phonograph records !
So it is safe to assume that he was a success in his particular
line before Radio discovered him.
Some one said the other day that most of the present generation
of young men take college courses in engineering and become
bond salesmen. Mr. Green attended Creighton University — he
was born in Omaha — and eventually became a drummer with
Sousa's Band. It was at this time that he began to experiment
with other things that are beaten upon. One may learn from
him and from Doctor Damrosch's morning lessons to children
that it is proper to speak of such devices as "percussion instru-
ments," and he became so expert that in 1917 Mr. Sousa made
him xylophone soloist with his great organization, a position he
held for three years. Constant striving for new effects eventually
brought Joe Green the fame he now enjoys.

Radio Occupations Invite Women Workers
(Continued from page 51)
came not only from New York, but from surrounding states and
cities far to the north, showing the widening reach of Miss McCart-
ney's programs and the great interest manifested in far distant centers.
"In regard to entertainment," explains Miss McCartney behind
her big desk piled with schedules and correspondence, "the great
invisible audience is becoming more and more discriminating.
After a recent musical program, for which I myself had vague
qualms, an irate listener-in wrote suggesting in no mild terms that
we were a bunch of bums and needed to drown ourselves in a
bucket of water ! It is strange how many there are who lose
sight of virtues to find faults.
"There was a time not so long ago when it was very difficult to
persuade artists in the mu-
sical and dramatic fields
to break through their
reticent fear and distrust
of the microphone. Today,
however, the best talent in
these fields is eager to be
heard, due to the high
standards raised by the
Radio industry.
"A constant survey of
the# Radio situation is
necessary," she continued,
as she thumbed over the
pages of statistical reports.
"Changes are likely to take
place overnight. Features
popular with the listeners
of yesterday may be turned
down completely toda}".
The whims and fancies of
this unwieldly audience are
matters of vital concern to
us behind the firing line.
The direction of each straw
in the wind is anxiously
nojted as we peruse the- daily
baskets of letters, commen-
datory and otherwise."
MISS McCartney has
averaged sixty-four
programs a month since she
has been on this unique job,
which she undertook with
no previous Radio experi-
ence. She has succeeded in
enlisting the cordial co-
operation of volunteer
speakers, artists, physical
directors, stage celebrities,
sports stars and others to
the number of 1,160 during
nine months of last year.
This enterprising young
executive believes that the
Radio field offers vast op-
portunity of new endeavor
for women. Organizing
ability, genius for detail,
coupled with the persuasive
power of feminine charm,
make women especially suc-
cessful in this work.
Miss McCartney's experience as a business woman in her home
town, Pittsburgh, before her graduation from Columbia University,
and as industrial secretary of the Brooklyn Y. W. C. A. both
proved valuable background for the excellent and interesting work
she is doing in the Radio field.
"There are many hectic aspects to this pioneer work," she con-
fesses. "Humor and pathos, too, are often present. There is fasci-
nation in manipulating a power so extensive. There is a great
chance for service here ; immense possibility for future development."
It is a field not only for the woman with musical talent but
for teachers, students, women with special knowledge on subjects
of special interest to women. Experts in dietetics, home economics
are in demand to conduct lectures over the air for women lis-
teners. And that is what Miss McCartney thinks of Radio.
Just as journalism has in recent years been recognized by uni-
versities and colleges as a profession requiring special training, so,
it is believed, Radio entertainment direction will be considered a
special calling for which one may be fitted by special courses of
study in the higher institutions of learning. It will combine tech-
nique in music, public speaking, folk lore, practical economics,
I usiness ethics, electrical engineering and administration.
"This is the age for women to show their mettle," concluded
Miss McCartney. "New opportunities are developing right along.
Radio is just one big field where women can follow different lines
to win success."
Miss Anne McCartney, who has found inspiring work preparing
helpful Radio programs for New York Y. M. C. A. She sees
many opportunities for women in the many phases of Radio
where women's interests are concerned. Lecturers are needed
as well as artists.
Science Brings Radio Close to Talkies
(Continued from page 21)
"This revolutionary method of controlling equipment," con-
cludes the Westinghouse statement, "indicates in a measure the
extent to which science must go to perfect — say, television or
Radio movies.
"Westinghouse officials state that the regular transmission of.
motion pictures from KDKA, Pittsburgh, will begin in a few
weeks. They also state that the apparatus, when produced com-
mercially, will be sold through the Radio Corporation of America."
One may well imagine the sort of feeling of triumph on the
part of old KDKA, which is credited with having been the first
station in the world to broadcast regular programs, now that it
is to be the first to broadcast regular moving pictures.
AFTER all, nothing has
been said as to the
movietone possibilities. But
if the gap has been bridged
in the picture houses, we
have every reason to ex-
pect that Doctor Conrad
or some other genius will
find a way to send both
picture and sound over the
air.
Does all this mean a
cataclysm in the field of
entertaining?
Moving pictures did not
diminish the number of
actors. They probably in-
creased the sum total ; cer-
tainly the sum total of out-
standing stars. There
probably will be bigger and
better theatres, because
they will have to meet the
higher competition that is
coming out of the magic
cornucopia.
The artists of one group
will find occupation with
the other. This inter-
change has already begun.
There are a number of
cases where it is reported
that broadcast artists have
used their voices for screen
stars in the sound pictures.
Not all voices are suitable
for the microphone, nor
have all the Radio artists
the physical requisites and
histrionic abilities of the
screen star. One may dou-
ble for the other while lips
move in synchronism.
Future announcements
may read something like
this :
"In the audio picture this
afternoon, ladies and gen-
tlemen, we present the lat-
est production of the Ora-
torionic Conservatories,
called 'The Fighting Flut-
terbudget.' The leading
part, Gabriel Bluebottle, will be represented in the audio by the
distinguished opera star, Caesar Bassolo Profundo, while the
eminent Alphonse Thistleblow will be seen in the picture. Miss
Adeline Sweet will sing the part of Carol Devine, pictured by
Phyllis Darling. Thematic score by Watterson Duck. Pro-
duction sponsored by Landreau's famous Tanglelip Face Creams,
known the world over by the slogan, 'The Lips You Love to
iss.
Passing on we come to another growing habit among a great
many broadcasters — the horrific disgrace of broadcasting phono-
graph records. The lowly phonograph record was the most
reliable source of genuinely good music in the early days. But as
studios_ grew apace the phonograph record slipped into an ever
deepening disfavor as a Radio musical source. Everything was
done to discourage its use. The federal authorities made it
obligatory for the announcer to state beforehand that he was
about to commit a record to the air so the outraged citizen
would know that he was not being fooled into thinking he was
listening to the real thing. To be hoodwinked in such a manner
would be outrageous fraud.
That rule is still in effect, but many first class stations are
now using records just the same. Opinion is changing. It is
now quite possible to hear a production from a phonograph record
superior to that available in the studio. Only artists of proven
ability and popularity are ever registered on a phonograph record.
RADIO DIGES T— Illustrated

Danny Yates, formerly with the Vincent Lopez orchestra, and often heard
over the NBC nets, is now starring over CKAC from the Cascades at
Montreal. He is 27 years old, but in spite of his youth has traveled far
and held responsible leadership of important musical organizations.
While conducting the Windsor Hotel dance orchestra he is now studying
a ver' wee bit Francais.
The method of making and reproducing
a record probably has much to do with the
possibilities of phonograph records today.
There is no friction. The stylus is a point .
of light. The record may be on celluloid
or on wax. It may be conveyed electrically
direct to the transmitter without the use of
a microphone, and therefore without the
odd miscellaneous noises bound to creep
into a studio. This process makes it possible
for the original sound vibration to go out
electrically controlled, wave for wave, pre-
cisely as it is received, wave for wave. The
quality of reception is governed by the
efficiency of the receiving set with even
better chances of superior reception than
that afforded by the ordinary method
through the studio.
Testifying to this effect Clinton R.
White, president of the Independent Broad-
casters, made the following statement to
the members of the federal Radio commis-
sion:
"An artist sings through the studio mic-
rophone and he sings only once," said Mr.
White. "If there are any errors in it, the
listener gets it just as it is. When a phono-
graph record is made an artist sings, not
once but a dozen times, if necessary, until
it is absolutely perfect. In other words, it
is the very best that that artist can do.
Therefore, the electrically produced pro-
grams (the broadcasting of phonograph
records) are better for that reason. The
artist gets a chance that he does not get
over the microphone to correct any errors
or any break in the music."
"Is it your opinion that electrical repro-
duction is a very important contribution to
broadcasting?" asked Louis G. Caldwell,
chief counsel for the commission.
_ "Absolutely," replied Mr. White. "Sta-
tion WENR, Chicago, is using electrical
reproduction for two solid hours each
morning, 300 other stations all over the
country are turning to it."
.Mr. White declared that he used these
records in connection- with direct adver-
tising,, and that they are announced as
being phonograph records, in accordance
with the commission's ruling.
He explained to the commission a plan
whereby an advertiser who desired coverage
in several cities of the country could have
records made and distributed to broad-
casters in these cities and arrange to have
them played for transmission to the Radio
audience at a certain hour on a certain
evening. This would constitute a sort of
chain, but would be used by only one station
in one community, leaving the listener's dial
free. These advertising records could be
distributed to 100 or more stations electric-
ally equipped to reproduce them throughout
the country.
Abdullah Bey Broadcasts
(Continued from page 47)
place previously. Suddenly the door to this
room banged open. A shadow appeared on
the threshold and a voice announced, "I,
Adullah Bey, am here."
By some means he g"ot into the circle and
soon was doing his stuff — ringing bells,
tooting horns, mind reading and telling in-
timate details of the lives of those present
on the committee. It was most startling
and amazing.
Suddenly there flashed a pocket spotlight
on him, revealing a tallish figure in turban
and flowing robes. The face was dark as
of a Hindoo. But there was no time to see
more. With a horrible shriek the figure
melted into the floor (which is wood covered
concrete).
Wetzel and Boroff and D. L. Gross,
assistant announcer, called for lights and
although the room was almost instantly
flooded with light no sign of the mysterious
visitor was evident. After a careful search,
however, the turban was found under the
piano or possibly behind a curtain. A mes-
sage was in the depths of its folds. It
said; "I go, but I shall return — and with a
vengeance," or something like that.
This discovery brought fresh confusion.
Members of the committee regarded each
other suspiciously as they came face to
face behind curtains or under shadowy
furniture. They invaded the sacred pre-
cincts of the control room, risking sudden
death from high voltages. Still no Ab-
dullah Bey. Reaction began from other
sources.
In a few minutes the entire switchboard
of the Congress hotel was tied up with
incoming calls from all parts of the country
— many claiming that the mystic's message
to listeners in the Radio audience had been
intended for them.
To this writing nothing further has been
heard from Abdullah Bey. But the true
mystic waits long and patiently for his
opportunity — and who can tell?
Radio Rescues Fallen Men
(Continued from page 50)
next one will be just the berries. Some of
the more powerful receivers stay close by
while the little fellows roam afar. I know
one chap with a two-tube set who has a
neatly printed log of more than 100 sta-
tions. In fact, there are several two-tube
sets that have close to a century logged.
A sneer titters around outside once in
awhile and somebody . makes a crack that
prisoners are coddled nowadays. That's not
true. It may be a fact that they have
thrown out the old torture systems and
come to realize that after all a prisoner
is a human being and not always altogether
God forsaken. He thinks and he feels. It
is better for all concerned to have him
think and feel in a healthy, constructive
way than in a viscious, destructive way.
Give him something worth while to think
about, something to admire and when he
comes out he will be a decent, useful citizen
to the state.
And, as I said before, Radio is the trick
for that. I think the most of us realize
there is something more than sentiment
back of the Radio privilege. I am not wise
to all this psychology stuff — I have my own
troubles. But I can see a point to it and
you can't miss the fact that if good service
and good conduct produce the best results
on the inside they ought to work the same
on the outside when you are on yrour own.
There has been many a man who found
himself here and afterward gone out to find
fame and high regard from all the world.
SO I, like the others, come to my cell at
night with a different feeling. I do not
wince when the steel bolt clamps the door.
My headset is already on and Polly, my
little pal receiver, is perched in front of me.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of
the Radio audience," says the announcer.
Convict No. 55540 fades out of the picture.
James Gibson, gentleman, is at his receiver
with the rest of the ladies and gentlemen
of the Radio audience. I turn the dials here
and there for a moment and Polly says :
"My Dear Mr. Gibson: I think we have
about 1,000 smart entertainers at your serv-
ice this evening. What would you suggest ?
How about a jaunt down Broadway for a
few of the latest song hits, or possibly you
would like to sit in at a banquet at the
Statler in St. Louis? Some of the besl
wits of the nation are there and — ah, I
believe we are going to have a complete
show broadcast from a theatre in Chicago.
There's an operatic program in Cincinnati
and a fight in Detroit — all at your service."
Such a pleasant world after all ! Why
should I ever take a chance with my free-
dom again? Why should anybody?

Mrs. Olive Sharman of WJR.
How to Vary the Omelet
a IXTORE tempting- and healthful
1VA meals with less work," is the slo-
gan adopted by Mrs. Olive Sharman,
the director of the WJR Modern House-
keeping and Cooking School. What she
tries to do is to teach her Radio audience
to spend a little more time and thought
on the simple and tasteful preparation of
fresh fruits and vegetables and less on
making elaborate desserts. She consid-
ers the making of nourishing stews and
the use of inexpensive cuts of meat in
simple but satisfying and substantial
dishes very important to the young-
housewife.
"Teach the young cook first the mak-
ing of a good soup or a fine omelet in
preference to a layer cake or a lemon
pie," said Mrs. Sharman, smiling.
Here are a few of the omelet recipes
Mrs. Sharman gave her listeners re-
cently.
Plain Omelet
Separate the yolks of four eggs from
the whites and to the yolks add J/2 tea-
spoon salt, few grains pepper and four
tablespoons hot water. Beat until yolks
are thick and lemon colored. The
longer you beat this mixture the more
tender your omelet will be. Beat the
whites until stiff and fold into the yolks
until the whites have been all taken
up by the yolks. Fold in, do not beat
or stir. Heat an omelet pan and butter
the sides and bottom. Turn in the mix-
ture and spread evenly with a knife —
place on range where omelet will cook
slowly, being sure to turn the pan
occasionally so the omelet will brown
evenly. When well puffed and brown
underneath, place in a warm oven to
'finish cooking. The omelet is cooked
when you can touch it lightly with your
finger and when it is firm to the touch
and does not cling. Remove it from
the oven. Fold and turn on a platter
and pour around it one and one-half
cups of white sauce.
An omelet will not stay up indefinitely
and you must not expect it to. The
omelet mixture is so light and delicate
that it must be served immediately. No
matter how well made, an omelet will
always shrink when cooling, so the
thing to do is to serve it quickly and
eat it while it is still at its best.
To Fold and Turn an Omelet
Hold an omelet pan or frying pan
by the handle, with the case knife make
two one-half inch creases opposite each
other and at right angles to the handle.
Place the knife under the part of the
omelet nearest the handle, tip the pan
to nearly a vertical position, carefully
folding one part over the other. It will
hold without cracking or breaking if you
are careful.
Mushroom Omelet
Peeled mushrooms.
*4 saltspoonful white pepper.
4 eggs.
Mix the well-beaten eggs and season-
ing and pour over the mushrooms, just
encircling the mushrooms with egg.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying
pan, lift the mushrooms into it care-
fully and fry brown. Each omelet
should be two inches in diameter. If
one likes them well done, cover the fry-
ing pan and do not turn the omelets, as
this will spoil the delicacy of the egg
mixture.
Orange Omelet
3 eggs.
2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
Salt.
1 tablespoon lemon juice.
2 oranges.
5^ tablespoon butter.
zy2 tablespoons orange juice.
Follow the directions for making a
plain omelet. Remove the skin from
the oranges and cut in slices, sprinkle
well with powdered sugar; put remain-
ing slices around omelet and sprinkle
with powdered sugar.
Jelly Omelet
Make a plain omelet and spread any
desired flavor of jelly on the omelet
just before folding it. Fold and sprinkle
with powdered sugar.
Ham Omelet
Beat the whites and yolks of four
'eggs separately. To the yolks add two
teaspoons butter, a pinch of salt and one
cup cooked ham finely chopped. Make
a smooth paste of one teaspoon flour
and one-fourth cup of milk and grad-
ually add one-half cup of milk and the
well beaten whites of eggs. Combine
the two mixtures, pour into a hot,
greased frying pan and bake about fifteen
minutes in a moderate oven.
Spanish Omelet
Follow the directions for plain omelet
and serve with the following Spanish
sauce.
Spanish Sauce
Cook two tablespoons butter with one
tablespoon finely chopped onion until
yellow. Add one and three-fourth cups
tomato and cook until moisture is nearly
all evaporated. Add one tablespoon
sliced mushrooms, one tablespoon capers
and one-fourth teaspoon salt and a few
grains of cayenne.
When Company Comes
C4~V^7HAT to serve when company
VV comes," remarked Mrs. Mary
Work of WHK, Cleveland, "is the ques-
tion the listeners of the WHK Cooking
School ask me most often. It is a prob-
lem, and at least once a week we talk
about what to serve and how to serve it
just a bit more carefully than when the
family eats alone.
"This dinner menu is one which can
be prepared any time of the year and
will be a convenient one to keep in the
cook book."
Mrs. Work is well prepared for her
task of directing the Cleveland Cook-
ing School of the Air. Her love of both
cooking and teaching and her training
in both makes her a favorite with the
homekeepers who tune in this station
each morning.
MENU
Shrimp Cocktail
Fillet of Beef
Rice Ring filled with Green Peas
Harvard Beets
Orange and Grapefruit Salad
Pineapple Pie
Shrimp Cocktail
Shrimps.
2 teaspoons horseradish.
3 tablespoons tomato catsup.
Yz teaspoon salt.
2 tablespoons vinegar
4 tablespoons lemon juice.
J/2 teaspoon tobasco sauce
1 teaspoon prepared mustard.
Mix horseradish, catsup, salt, vinegar,
lemon juice, mustard and tobasco sauce
thoroughly. Pour over shrimp and
serve in cocktail glasses.
Fillet of Beef
1 fillet of beef.
Bacon.
Mushroom sauce or brown sauce.
WHK's Mrs. Mary Work.

RADIO DIGES T— Illustrated
The fillet is the tenderloin of beef
under the loin and is really the solid
tender part sold with porterhouse
steak. It corresponds to the tenderloin
of pork in the pig. Being very lean it
must either be larded or rolled in a
thin slice of beef fat or thin strips of
bacon; it is then either roasted or
broiled and served with a rich brown
sauce or with mushroom sauce.
Season the fillet with salt and pepper
and place in an open pan. Have the
oven very hot so that it will sear over
at once. A four-pound fillet requires
about 40 minutes to roast. After roast-
ing about 20 minutes, add a little hot
water.
Rice Ring Filled With Green Peas
Cook the rice, using two quarts of
water to a cup of rice. When tender,
let cold water run through it and
drain. Season with butter, salt and
pepper and pack in a buttered ring
mold. Bake with the mold set in a
pan of hot water. When ready to
serve, unmold on a large plate and fill
the center with buttered green peas.
The green peas are very nice buttered,
but if you prefer them in cream they
may also be served in the rice ring.
To unmold the ring, run a knife
around the edge then invert over the
plate and shake gently, or tap lightly
on the mold.
A ring mold makes a very pretty
shape for many vegetables, such
as spinach or scalloped tomatoes.
Harvard Beets
Wash twelve small beets, cook _ in
boiling water until soft, remove skins
and cut beets in thin slices, small cubes,
or fancy shapes, using vegetable cut-
ter. Mix one-half cup sugar and one-
half tablespoon cornstarch. Add one-
half cup vinegar and let boil five min-
utes. Add beets and let stand on back
of range one-half hour. Just before
serving add two tablespoons butter.
The beets may be chopped very fine
and seasoned in this same way. Be
sure to boil the vinegar, cornstarch and
sugar mixture until it is clear. If corn-
-tarch is not properly cooked it will
make a cloudy sauce.
Orange-Grapefruit Salad
Remove the skin carefully from your
orange and grapefruit sections and ar-
range your fruit in fan shape, alter-
nating a piece of orange with a piece
of grapefruit and garnish with sweet
pepper rings. A mayonnaise dressing
is good with this salad.
Pineapple Pie
1 can grated pineapple.
4 tablespoons cornstarch.
Y teaspoon salt.
1 cup sugar.
Yn cup water.
2 tablespoons shortening.
1 egg yolk.
7/2 lemon, juice and grated rind.
1 1 cat pineapple in sauce pan. Mix
cornstarch, salt and sugar with one-
quarter cup water. Add to pineapple
and cook until mixture thickens, stir-
ring constantly. Then add lightly beaten
egg yolk, shortening and lemon. Cook
for two minutes. Remove from fire
and use as filling for a baked shell.
• o er with meringue.
Mere is a little helpful hint in regard
to cooking your pie filling. Always add
the hot mixture gradually to beaten egg
yolks and never add the e.ug yolks to
the hot liquid. If n small amount of
egg is added to a larger amount of hot
mixture, it often cooks the egg too fast
and causes it to curdle. If the hot
mixture is added slowly to the egg, it
will heat the egg slowly and cook it
gently.
This is a good thing to remember
i«i regard to all egg cookery.
Pastry for Pie
1% cups flour.
% cup lard.
54 cup water.
Y* teaspoon baking powder.
Y% teaspoon salt.
This makes two single crusts.
Sift together the flour, baking pow-.
der and salt. Cut in the fat with two
knives, When fine, add a small quantity
of cold water and fold in what flour it
will take. Add more water in small
quantities until only a little dry flour
remains in the bowl. Press the mix-
ture together with the fingers. Enough
water may be added to take all flour
into the mixture. Roll to the required
thickness.
Mrs. Sally Work of WMAK.
For the Cooky Jar
MRS. SALLY WORK, whose pleas-
ant voice is heard directing the
cooking school of WMAK, Buffalo,
each morning, hot only advises other
women on how to feed their families in
less time and with better food, but she
tries to give them the idea that home-
keeping is a real job and one which re-
quires as much skill as any other job.
"Cooking after all is not a task but an
interesting game. What you give your
family to eat makes them what they are.
The dinner table should be a place of
rendezvous for the family, where they
can discuss the problems of the day
and enjoy themselves. So that not only
is the mother the cook, she is the hostess.
The daintier and more appetizing she
makes the table look, the better will
the food agree with every one.
"It requires careful management to
plan menus and shopping lists a week
ahead so that there can be no slip-up on
the day's routine, and it means just as
careful an allotment of time to do the
actual work of preparing meals each day
and still have some leisure time to relax.
Salads may be made in the morning, or
at least started, ice-box cakes and des-
serts can be made sometimes the day
before, roasts cooked on Saturday may
be finished on Sunday, and these will
supply tasty cold meats for several
days."
As Autumn means the beginning of
school, Sally Work's favorite cooky
recipes will be appreciated by the
mother who keeps a cooky jar.
Sugar Cookies
2 cups sugar.
1 cup shortening.
3 eggs
3 tablespoons water or milk.
3 level teaspoons baking powder.
1 teaspoon nutmeg.
Yi teaspoon cloves.
3 cups flour.
Cream the shortening and sugar, beat
in whipped eggs, add sifted baking pow-
der with one cup flour, then water and
spices; add remaining flour gradually,
working *in more flour until dough is
stiff enough to roll. Sprinkle flour over
pastry board. Make a ball of dough .
and lay it on the board. Rub rolling
pin with flour and roll out dough into
a sheet one-quarter inch thick. Cut in
round cakes, sift granulated sugar over
each and bake quickly at 400° to 400° F.
in a hot oven. These cookies will be
easier to handle if you chill them in
the refrigerator before you roll them.
You can roll a chilled cooky mixture
much thinner than one which has not
been chilled, and the chilled mixture
will not be so likely to stick to your
board.
Here are some simple ways to vary
these sugar cookies:
Chocolate Cooky
Add two squares of melted chocolate
to cooky dough.
Spice Cooky
Add one teaspoon of cinnamon, one-
quarter teaspoon each of nutmeg, all-
spice and ginger to dry ingredients.
Nut Cooky
Add Y^ cup of chopped nuts for top
of cookies before baking.
Cocoanut
Either one cup cocoanut on top of
cookies before baking or add to the
dough.
Filled
Roll about one inch in thickness. Cut
into rounds and spread half with fillings.
Cover with a second round and press
down the edges. For the fillings use
one cup dates, one cup sugar, one-half
cup water, cooked until thick.
Peanut Butter
Add three tablespoons of peanut butter
to the shortening and proceed as for
sugar cookies.
Fruit Roll
Grind and mix together one cup
prunes, one-half cup dates, one-half cup
figs, one-half cup sugar. Roll dough to
about one-quarter inch in thickness.
Spread fruit mixture over cooky dough;
then proceed as for jelly roll. With
a sharp knife cut into one-inch slices
and bake.
Decorated
Cut the plain cooky dough in various
shapes and before baking decorate with
candied fruits, cherries, citron, orange
peel, raisins or currants. Also make
designs by the use of almonds, pecans
or walnut halves. A very fancy cooky
can be made with an almond daisy on
top. Place four or five almonds in a"
circle in the center of the cooky with
the pointed ends of the almond together.
Soft Molasses Cookies
1 cup shortening.
1 cup sugar.
1 cup molasses.
1 egg.
1 tablespoon vinegar.
Yz cup cold coffee or
Yt. teaspoon cloves or allspice.
Y?. level teaspoon baking powder.
3 cups flour.
1 level teaspoonful salt.
1 teaspoon soda.
1 teaspoon cinnamon.
1 teaspoon ginger.
Work the shortening until very soft
and creamy. Add the sugar gradually
and when well blended beat in the egg.
Then add the molasses, vinegar and
coffee. Mix and sift all the dry in-
gredients and add to the liquid, usin.n"
more flour if necessary to make a very
soft dough. Drop from a teaspoon on
to a greased pan and bake in a moderate
oven about .fifteen minutes.

Arnoux, G. C, Director-Announcer. One of

You would almost expect his
hair to be white. Few an-

for seven years. He began his
work at WBAP, Fort Worth,
at the famous Texas station,
and used to thrill his listeners
with romantic tales of cow-
boys. Now that he is direct-
ing KTHS he has given up his
cowboy ways and leads a quiet Radio exist-
ence. This may be due to Mrs. Arnoux.
Arnoux, Natalie, Violinist. Played the first

Barnes, Edith F., Secretary to Superintendent,

Barnes, Pat, Announcer of WHT, Gold Cup
Winner of 1927. Mr. Barnes
was interested in motion pic-
ture productions before he
went to war and only studied
voice accidentally. When he
came back from France, he
produced "A Buck on Leave,"
which was very popular and
which toured the United
States. He tried to get big
producers interested in it for
pictures but it was too soon
war. As director and an-
nouncer of WHT he has won a large fol-
lowing. Pat has that Irish sense of humor
which always adds spice to any program
he may be directing. He even announces
market reports in a droll way.
Barnet, Jack, Program Director
Portland, is an old hand at
the radio game. He received
his early training at KDKA,
Pittsburgh, and showed such a
keen appreciation of what a

became program director of

there, he furnished a number
of radio programs to the net-

station as the key. He is
both a business man and a showman. In

that sense of showmanship to know what

While putting in regular hours at KYW
he puts in 80 per cent of his outside hours
taking a special course of post-graduate
law at the University of Chicago. That
accounts for his smooth appealing voice to
the jury of Radio listeners.

and Program Manager. Mr. Haburton
joined the staff of WLW five years ago
as a Co-operative Engineer
from the University of Cincin-
nati. After "chaperoning" the
WLW transmitter through the
•1924 Democratic National
Convention and almost forty
hours of "twenty-four votes
for Underwood," Haburton de-
cided that announcing would
be more entertaining than en-
gineering and abandoned the
latter profession. Since then he has de-
voted all his time to announcing and pro-
gram arranging. He claims to have
announced everything but a transoceanic
airplane flight and everyone but the
Queen of Roumania.

WMAQ as Amos 'n' Andy. In
fact, the only announcer Cor-
rell and Gosden can work with
successfully. Without Bill.
Amos 'n' Andy would lose a bit
of its delightful and entertain-
ing perfection. A Scotchman.
and proud of it, Bill does not stop witii
only announcing. His deep mellow bass
voice comes forth regularly over WMAQ
with Auld Sandy, a delightful burring voice
in Scottish tunes and poetry. He is re-
membered for his KFKX, Hastings, Ne-

Hay. George, Director-Announcer WSM. "Sol-
emn Old Judge." Gold Cup
Announcer of 1924. He be-
gan his Radio career as a
newspaper man. When the
Memphis Commercial Appeal
started WMC, it fell to George
Hay to put on the programs
incidental to his Radio page.
His announcing was so indi-
vidual and had such an ap-
peal for the public that it
soon became his real job. George Hay was
the announcer who introduced the Missis-
sippi river boat whistle. When he left
WMC for WLS, Chicago, they substituted
a steam whistle for the river whistle.
From WLS he went to WSM where he is
still presiding at the microphone. Not
only has Mr. Hay won fame as an an-
nouncer, he has written a book called
"Howdy, Judge."

Hough, Harold V., is simply another name
for Hired Hand, director of help at WBAP.
entertaining announcer with
much original wit,
He
is an
Contralto,
His club, "Why Tell
the Truth," is over-
flowing with mem-
bers and bids fair to
be the largest organ-
ization on- the air;
that is, if Congress
does not legislate
against it. When he
is not announcing,
the Hired Hand
grows one or two lit-
tle wa termelons
which, he claims, will
have the names of
the recipient inside.
Sometimes the wrong
name appears and
causes a lot of trou-
ble. Last year h i s
watermelons were
smaller than usual,
only occupying one
washtub apiece. We
would like to see
what Texas could really do. The Hired
Hand is also famous for his announcing
of the Sunflower Girl. By the way, you
can get records of her voice.

next thing Radio fans found
him at WTMJ, Milwaukee.
But when he discovered
that Milwaukee has lost its
flavor, he consented to re-
turn to WGES, where he is now. He has a
fine Radio personality and a nice voice and
has many friends. He is planning to use
many new features at WGES. He is always
good as an entertainer himself and has a
very pleasing voice, and doubtless will be
one of the leading voices of the future.

KYW before he retired for
several years. But, of course,
he could not stay retired, and
when all his fans had given
up asking where that charming Sen Kaney
had gone, he suddenly appeared in the Chi-
cago Studio of the National Broadcasting
Company.

Kay, Lambdin, Little Colonel, Announcer of
WSB. No one who has ever
heard Lambdin Kay say At-
lanta, Georgia, has ever for-
gotten it. In fact, these two
words coming over the loud-
speaker or ear phones have
) thrilled more than one fan
seeking distant stations.
Lambdin Kay belongs to the
early and select group of an-
nouncers who lured the DX
fan to late hours. Whenever a Radio sta-
tion has a birthday party, Mr. Kay is one
of the guests. The rumor is that he got
married this last summer, but he refuses
to make any statement. At least he does
not deny it.

the handsomest man in Radio.
In spite of the fact that he

of the fact that he was a

Reid remains a very modest

reason he is so popular. His most excit-

ning so many Radio laurels the last two
years. The Radio Rodeo Radio, one of
the biggest Radio productions in the last

Tison, W. Walter, Director- Announcer. This
genial Director of WFLA is a
native Floridan, born in the
northern part of the state dur-
ing the Spanish - American
AVar. lie specialized in Radio
at Harvard University. Mr.
Tison brings to the microphone
the wealth of his experiences
as Radio operator, both during
the World War and after-
wards. Naturally enough his
first experience in voice transmission was
with the American destroyers. Evidently
his tone quality was good even in those
days. After he left the U. S. Shipping
Board, he belonged to the staff of WSB
and when the 500-watt equipment of this
station was sold to Clearwater he took
charge of it. Have you heard his clever
pronunciation of Florida?

J^B^ ball conies around, the Daily
.ji^BM^ News station, WMAQ. call's
^f| upon Hal Totten to do the
announcing and for the sea-
he leaves his editorial
desk. Fans think no one ran
announce these two sports
like Hal. As most of his the
years of newspaper work has
been spent writng sport copy,
it is not queer that he should qualify in
this capacity. He remembers football an-
nouncing when the Radio reporter faced
a mike exposed to all sorts of weather
and often the reception was spoiled by
rain. Of course, now the announcers sit
tranquilly behind glass and report each
play undisturbed by the weather.

c£^eber and Fields on the Air
^ETERAN Comedians Panic Stricken in First Microphone
Appearance — Forget Audience Has "Mind's Eye"
a
W
HERE'S Deac Aylesworth?"
"Downstairs," somebody
answered. "Weber and Fields
are to wind up the program. They've never been
in front of the microphone before and they're scared half to
death for fear they'll forget their lines."
The inaugural program of the National Broadcasting Com-
pany was going out over the air. It was a new venture in that
the artists taking part were not all together in one place, but
in cities widely scattered about the country. This was the
New York end of the program and a newspaper man, a friend
of the famous comedians, went downstairs to see if he could
help them.
Behind a big screen in one of the dressing rooms of the
theatre, there were the veterans Weber and Fields, studying
scraps of paper like school boys cramming for an examination.
Fear was written on their faces and, holding their hands, tell-
ing them not to be scared, that they would come through all
right, was Merlin Aylesworth, affectionately known as "Deac,"
president of the National Broadcast-
ing Company.
"Stage fright is a mild sensation
compared with the real, downright
terror of the victim of Radio scare,"
said Mr. Aylesworth later. "Weber
and Fields were supposed to put on
some of their old stuff that made
their team famous years ago. But
Joe Weber got so scared we had to
drag him over to the mike by force.
And then he was so excited that he
forgot most of his lines. Fields
wasn't so bad, but the two of them
certainly gave us enough to handle
for a while!"
By Nels Osborne
ONE would think that these co-
medians who are now close to
their sixties and have been entertain-
ing thousands of people since they
were less than ten years old would
have no difficulty of this kind. No
doubt they realized, however, that
their success in this new venture
depended entirely upon the words
they spoke; that was all they could
send out over the air. Their cos-
tumes, that provoke mirth the mo-
ment they are seen availed them
nothing in this new role. The audience was also blind to
their droll mannerisms. Lacking the inspiration of having
the visible crowd with them, the pair quailed before that un-
responsive disc known as the microphone.
But they forgot a tremendously important thing: That their
huge audience knew them well. Even the children acquainted
with Mutt and Jeff — and what child is not? — feel that they
know Weber and Fields, for the mishaps of the two famous
pairs are much alike. Just the voices of the comedians fired
the imagination of that vast invisible audience so each saw as
plainly as through the eyes the immense, padded girth of
Joe Weber, and lean, lanky Fields.
Thousands had witnessed the impassioned Mayer (Fields)
trying to gouge out the eyes of the inoffensive and blundering
Mike (Weber); had watched the poker scene in which the hap-
less Mike is relieved of his roll by the calculating Meyer and
his two chance acquaintances; had seen the statue bit in
which the pair impersonate, under trying circumstances, the
dying gladiator and his assailant.
The first of these classic moments dates as far back as 1887,
and every line of them has been pawed over since by un-
numbered variety actors until there is nothing new in them.
But every one in that vast Radio audience who had ever seen
Weber and Fields well knew that they were worth seeing.
The keynote of the Weber and Fields comedy that appeals
alike to old and young seems to have been unintentionally
struck at their first public performance when the boys were less
than ten years old. In those days, balls in Turn Hall on East
Fourth St., of New York City, were the social events of the
district. The chairman of the entertainment committee oc-
casionally called on the youngsters' older sisters, and the girls
persuaded him that here was a promising blackface song and
dance team. So the boys got their first engagement, two
TDACK in the first ambitious days
-D of the National Broadcasting
company it was considered to be a
smart idea to get the two old vets,
Weber and Fields, to do their stuff
for the big hook-up. Everybody
knows this team. Nobody would miss
a chance to hear them on the air. So
the two great comedians were per-
suaded that it was a duty to their
country, and their constituents espe-
cially, to spring a few of the old side
splitters in front of the microphone.
What happened is interestingly told
by Nels Osborne, an eye witness.
complimentary tickets for their mothers
being their pay.
They came on the stage backward so
they would not be so confused by the lights and audience that
they would forget their act. But in spite of that precaution,
they forgot their cue, and burst into song at the wrong place,
their voices being out of key from fright. Then panic seized
them and they danced when they should have sung and sung
when they should have danced. The orchestra tried to catch
up with them and failed. And when Fields should have lightly
vaulted into Weber's hands and been somersaulted into the
air, they missed their count and he landed on his head with
such force that a cloud of dust arose from the stage planks.
Plucky but dazed, he bounced up and danced frantically to
catch up with the music, but all to no purpose.
The audience went hysterical with laughter. And when it
was all over and the manager remarked, as he wiped his eyes,
that "you kids sure have a great act," the boys resolved to
start out next morning and get a real engagement, in a
theatre. Inside of two days they
had it, too. How they held it illus-
trates well the ingenious methods
the two have always used in sur-
mounting difficulties.
CANNY Weber was afraid their
good fortune might not last
very long, so he kept his job in a
cigarette factory, leaving Fields to
carry on as best he could each day
until Weber was free to join him.
The two were supposed to go on
the stage singing "Here we are, a
jolly pair." So, to make up for
Weber's absence in the early shows,
Fields led in by a long string a
stray kitten he had adopted for the
purpose.
In the confusion attending the
opening of the theatre, it was sev-
eral days before the manager dis-
covered that one of his pair was
missing part of the time. When he
heard the explanation he remarked:
"You boys will get on all right!"
The result of the conference was
that Weber quit his job at the fac-
tory and the two put all their time
and wits on their act. The fact
that they have been just as hard workers ever since no doubt
accounts for their present position as entertainers of first rank.
Off stage, these two men known to millions, and whose
names have been a byword in American family life for years,
are almost colorless, without personality and vitality. Several
times the team has separated, and Weber and Fields went
divergent ways, but neither achieved much success alone.
Their work together, however, will go down in history as that
of comedians of rare genius and showmanship. And through
the Radio, millions of people who could not enjoy them other-
wise hold their sides with laughter over the situations pre-
sented by probably the greatest team of fun makers the world
has yet produced.
With all these successful years behind them it was with just
a bit of surprise that officials of the National Broadcasting
company found them so unnerved before their Radio debut.
"It seems almost like it vas that we are starding all over
again," said Fields when he found he could breathe again and
not have the whole world hear him. "I vonder what it iss the
peobles are saying aboudt us — vat chumps we are."
"To make it a success," he added later, "I think we should
talk from a real stage with a real audience for us to see. Then
everything would seem natural. Of course we would have to
keep in mind those who cannot see us and do more talking as
we act. But going through the business in the regular way
would give us more ideas for gags and what to say."
That the Radio appearance was indeed a success, was in-
dicated by the heaps of mail received for Weber and Fields at
the offices of the National Broadcasting company immediately
after they had made their first appearance.
In an effort to satisfy a demand for more entertainment of
a similar nature various stations throughout the country have
added teams who have had rather mediocre success.

<W^ew World Music Wins Favor
JMELODIOUS Strains Typical of Southern Republics May
Have Originated With Races Who Lived in Ice Age
PROBABLY at no time in history has there
existed a more friendly feeling between
the republics of the Americas than the present.
The Pan American Union, with headquarters
in Washington, represents twenty-one repub-
lics. Last year the U. S. Navy Station NAA
in cooperation with this organization broadcast
a series of concerts as a token of good will to
the southern nations. The courtesy has been
reciprocated and Mr. Franklin Adams, coun-
selor of the Pan American Union, tells Radio
Digest readers of The New World Music.
By Franklin Adams
WHILE the people of the United States have for years
been familiar with "La Paloma," that Cuban love song
suggesting the old fashioned Senorita behind the lat-
ticed balcony, gazing down upon her' serenader
equipped with a guitar, and also, perhaps, that "La Golon
drina,'' the plaintive song from Mexico used as the "Home,
Sweet Home" number in all Mexican programs, it can be
generally stated that music from the Latin American lands
was almost unknown in the United States until a few years
ago. Then suddenly there arrived from the metropolis of the
south, Buenos Aires, a waltz by Robledo, one of Argentina's
most popular composers, which swept over this country and
became the "Valencia" of its day.
Probably no composition was more universally used by
phonograph, player piano, band, orchestra and hand organ
than this selection, "Three o'Clock in the Morning." The
chimes heard in this number came from the Westminster bells
in the San Martin Tower in Buenos Aires. This clock tower
was a gift from the British colony in Argentina's metropolis
to the nation in honor of its First Centenary of Independence.
Argentina has since sent us many tangos.
One of the very popular compositions over the world, the
overture "II Guarany," was credited in most part to European
composers, though Carlos Gomes, who supplied the score to
the famous opera, was a Brazilian and utilized the folk themes
of the Guarani tribes of Brazil in his musical score.
THREE years ago the United States Army Band, impressed
with the fragmentary selections drifting north from the
other American nations, decided to arrange for importation of
music from all of the twenty other republics of the New
World. The leader and his band of eighty-five musicians were
amazed at the number of marvelous selections which came to
them in manuscript form. They learned later that it was not
considered necessary in the Latin Amer-
ican republics, where each leader was
capable of arranging the full score for
his band, to use "ready made" instru-
mentations. The directors much pre-
ferred "to roll their own," for this
method allowed them to exert their own
individuality and at the same time to
adapt the instrumentation to the ability
of the musicians under them.
Over four hundred pieces of music
from Latin American sources have been
added to the repertoire of the Army
Band, and every three months the Ad-
jutant General of the Army supplies to
the ninety-seven bands attached to the
various posts fifteen selections of Latin
American music.
It was this unique collection of music
'.rom the New World that caused the
Commissioner General of the United
States' Participation in the Exposition
at Sevilla, to request of the Secretary
of War permission to have the Army
Hand play sixty programs of New
World music at the Ibero-American Ex-
position at Sevilla next spring. The
Secretary of War was much impressed
and plans were perfected for this im-
portant visit. Concerts will also be played in Paris, San Se-
bastian, Madrid and Barcelona.
Senor Don Alejandro Padilla y Bell, Ambassador of Spain,
said to the members of the Army Band when it complimented
him recently with a typical Spanish serenade before his home
in Washington, "As Columbus discovered the New World,
you have discovered and made available its really wonderful
and impressive music."
There is no doubt but that Europe will be much impressed
by the programs which the Army Band will present to the
public. Many of the selections will be arrangements of folk
music of the indigenous tribes of the New World. Music that
was composed long before the "Conquistadores" reached the
New World.
NOT only have the Latin Americans demonstrated their
marked ability as composers, but they are shining today
the most brilliant of stars on concert and operatic stage.
American managers have, as a rule, considered it advisable to
have the artists under theiir management featured as Europeans,
but gradually their New World origin is being disclosed so
that today at least thirty vocalists and instrumentalists from
the southern republics have been accorded first line positions
in the galaxy of stars.
This situation brought forth a large interrogation point. Why
are these Latin Americans so unusually gifted? Dr. J. W.
Gidley, eminent scientist of the Smithsonian Institute, comes
forward with the answer.
In direct opposition to the claim of anthropoligists that man
has only been five thousand years in the New World, Dr. Gid-
ley emphatically states that the figures may be all right as far
as they go, but that they do not go far enough, or it may be
that the decimal point has become nervous, for he has proof
that man has been fully five hundred thousand years in the
New World and not five thousand.
Investigations covering a number of years has proven that
man lived and hunted the wild beasts in Florida, Mexico,
Central and South America as far back as the Pleistocene or
Ice Age, when the northern part of this continent was covered
with gigantic glaciers. Through these ages he evolved and
reached such a high cultural stage that the modern world
views with amazement his wonderful temples being unearthed
by scientific expeditions in various parts of the New World to
the south of us.
With his building, architecture and art developed his music.
Many of the ancient peoples conducted their lives with a
musical ritual. Songs sung today in connection with the plant-

Find New and Old Waves in Radio Digest
AS THIS issue of Radio Digest
goes to press the orders of the
federal Radio commission state that
the new allocations will go into ef-
fect at 3 a. m. November 11, 1928.
However, letters and telegrams re-
ceived by this magazine from va-
rious broadcasters state that unfa-
vorable awards are going to be
hotly contested by court actions.
Whether or not the court actions
interfere with the carrying out of
the present plans the reader is
equipped with both old and new
waves in the tables published here-
with. Remember that Radio Di-
gest is the one national magazine
to serve between the broadcaster
and the listener.
Preserve this number until the
next issue of Radio Digest, which
will come in December. Any fur-
ther changes will be corrected at
that time. Suggestions from our
readers for further improvements
are always appreciated.

Caldwell Explains Radio "Pie"
"When mother serves pie to a large, hungry family, she
must plan her operations in two steps: First, she must make
the pie as large as possible, with the materials available.
Second, when the pie is ready, she must divide it among the
pie-eaters as accurately as possible, according to the pie-rights
and claims of each diner." Thus reads a statement concerning
the new allocations by Radio Commissioner Caldwell. It
continues:
"The radio-broadcasting problem, in many respects, is like
this matter of equitably distributing a single pie in a lusty,
growing family.
"What the national total of broadcasting can safely be, while
still preserving good Radio for all the people of the United
States, has been the subject of long and careful study by the
members of the Radio Commission, with the aid of many of
the country's best engineers. Hardly had the 1918 Act been
passed, before all sorts of broadcasting allocations and solu-
tions were being analyzed, in an effort to find a plan or
arrangement which would be most flexible to_ meet the varying
requirements of the different zones while insuring good re-
ception. Literally, dozens of plans and allocations have been
built up, studied and revised.
"And all of these various and differing plans have shown
that if good Radio reception is to be preserved, the broadcast-
ing band will not hold more than 150 to 165 stations of 500
watts and upward, operating simultaneously. After trying
out every conceivable expedient, we come invariably back to
this figure, that there can be no more than 165 such stations
on the air at one time during night hours.
"So our national Radio pie is limited to 165 simultaneous
stations of 500 watts and above, and this national total we
must divide equally among the five Radio zones and then
within those zones, proportionally to state populations.
"The new re-allocation which was put under way with the
Commission's general order No. 40, and which is to go into
effect in November, accomplishes this equalization of the coun-
try's facilities. It follows the Davis amendment completely
and exactly. All present licensed stations will be continued,
but on such a basis of sharing time that their total time is
equivalent to 165 full-time stations.
"But the new allocation afso provides a greatly improved
basis for Radio reception by so arranging the channels that on
70-odd out of our 90 wave lengths, there will be the very best
of receiving conditions this winter, especially for the farmers^
"T T IS these millions of remote listeners who live 75 miles
A or more from any broadcasting station, who will be the
chief beneficiaries of the arrangement, particularly in their
future ability to hear clearly the smaller stations in their own
neighborhood and states. At least 60,000,000 people are in-
volved in this improved service. And, these remote popula-
tions— on the farms and ranches, in the mountains, along the
coasts, and in towns, villages and crossroads, make up the
very folk to whom Radio means most, as a source of news,
inspiration and entertainment. And later, as increased power
is used on the cleared channels assigned to various sections,
there will be no home anywhere within the nation which will
not enjoy a diversity of satisfactory broadcast programs.
"A second feature of the re-allocation is the preferred treat-
ment accorded to the smaller stations. Under the Commis-
sion's new plan, the regional stations of 50 to 1,000 watts are
given essentially clear channels, so that they may be heard
to the full extent of their service ranges. Separations of 1,200
to 1.000 miles have been preserved on these channels, assuring
excellent reception, as compared with former conditions where
separations of 400 and 500 miles were common. Many of
these 500-watt regional stations furnish important services to
farmers and rural residents in their own states and neighbor-
ing states, and the new plan will restore operating conditions
similar to those enjoyed prior to 1926.
"Nearly one-half of the total number of assignments to be
authorized by the Commission under the new plan will be for
local' stations of 10, 50 and 100 watts. In fact, the number of
such assignments practically equals the total of the higher
power-, and provides for a considerable increase in such sta-
tions far beyond the present number of community stations.
'']\/I V trips of inspection throughout my own zone, which
1VJ. includes New England, New York, and the North At-
lantic seaboard, have convinced me that the usefulness of
every home receiver would be expanded in a new dimension it
it could pick up, at one end of the dial, local or neighborhood
broadcasting from a 10 to 50-watt broadcaster in its own com-
munity. Or course, such local offerings must be kept widely
i parated from the great regional and national programs which
are and always will be the backbone of Radio. But without
interfering with our present splendid national services, we can
easily find room for hundreds of such "locals" for all the time
they care to be on the air (usually only one or two nights a
week), for the broadcasting of local events, school debates,
basketball games, town meetings, sermons, and affairs of only
nearby interest, usually not acceptable by general broadcasters.
"Such a service to hundreds of local communities can be
supplied through the development of the new allocation plan.
And throughout the new assignments, improved positions on
the dial have been provided these 'locals,' by advancing num-
bers of them to higher positions, where they can be comfort-
ably listened to by even the more obsolete small-town sets."
New World Music Wins Favor
(Continued from page 86)
ing of the maize and the potatoes in the highlands of South
America trace back into the mystic past.
THOUSANDS of melodies in use by the Incas have been
set down today by modern composers and are being sung
and played both in America and Europe. Investigations have
found that the ancient traditional scale employed by the Incas
was identical with that of Ancient Greece, which, according to
Nicomachus, was identified with the sun, having its keynote
on the fourth degree of the scale, like the sun in the center
of the planets.
The Army Band has added to its repertoire selections using
the ancient pipes of the Incas, the quenas, and another instru-
ment from Central America, the marimba, has only been added
to the Army Band's musical equipment.
Latin American music is becoming known to the Radio
public now that ninety-seven Army bands are being gradually
equipped with these selections. Washington, the capital city,
is making rapid progress in the development of its plan for
becoming one of the great musical centers of the world. The
Music Division of the Library of Congress, with its auditorium
especially arranged for the rendition of chamber music, has
attracted music lovers from a wide range of territory through
its musical festivals held semi-annually.
The creation of the United Service Orchestra by the Pan
American Union was another step toward giving the capital
city musical attractions. This organization, made, up of mu-
sicians from the Army and Navy musical groups, was especially
created to play music from the New World. It has already
given four concerts at which many of the numbers were es-
pecially composed for this new organization and received their
premiers in Washington.
While at present the United Service Orchestra consists of
eighty-six musicians, it is planned to later expand it until it is
the largest in the world. Other plans call for the providing of
entire programs of music to be played and sung for the first
time. Such unusual musical evenings will undoubtedly serve
as feature events for general broadcasting circuits so that the
people of the United States will be brought into closer contact
with the "Other Americans," and the medium will be the
language which all can understand — music.

Visible Opera Promised Soon
SIT IN YOUR Parlor and by a Simple Twist of JVrist
Hear Famous Stage Artists and See Them, Too
VISIBLE as well as audible opera is
a possibility of the not very distant
future for your Radio set. The
science of television has taken enor-
mous strides during the past year. The
broadcast of a complete grand opera by
sound and by televison is a goal toward
which some of the best minds in the
business are working today.
Many of us have only come to know
a little of what opera has to offer since
it has been broadcast piecemeal from
time to time. Imagine sitting in your
parlor and viewing the gorgeous stage
settings and costumes of the artists as
they sing you the immortal dramas!
OPERA. The name opera comes
from the Italian and indicates generally,
a musical work. The art form of opera
or "Music-drama" is of ancient origin,
having reached a stage of great perfec-
tion under the Greeks, but it probably
had an even earlier origin.
Opera has several distinct develop-
ments, grand opera; simple opera (in
which everything is sung), and opera
comique (a comic opera with spoken
dialogue). An operetta, a light form of
opera is generally of short duration with
the song and dialogue alternated.
AFRICANA (The African). Opera in five
acts. Music by Meyerbeer; text by Scribe.
Produced in Paris, 1865; London, 1865; New
York, 1865. Story: Vasco di Gama, an ex-
plorer, is betrothed to Inez, daughter of the
King of Portugal. The king wishes his daughter
to marry Don Pedro and later to gain his end,
the king orders Vasco to prison. To save Vasco,
Inez marries Don Pedro and they sail away to
find a new land. Vasco follows, but through
the treachery of Nelusko, his ship is wrecked
and most of the crew massacred by Selika's
people, the Queen of India. Selika, however,
saves Vasco's life and they are to wed when
Vasco hears the voice of Inez. Selika then gen-
erously allows the lovers to escape regardless
of her own sentiments, then kills herself by
inhaling the fumes of the blossoms of the
poisonous Mancanillo tree.
AIDA. Opera in four acts and seven scenes.
Music by Verdi; text by Ghislanzoni. First
produced in Cairo, Egypt, 1871; Paris, 1876;
London, 1876; New York, 1873.
Story. Aida, daughter of the King Amonasro
of Ethiopa is being held captive by the Egyp-
tians at Memphis. She and Kadames, a young
Egyptian soldier, are in love with each other.
Radames departs to lead the Egyptian army
against the Ethiopians, and Amneris, daughter
of the King of Egypt, who is in love with
Radames, learning of the attachments of the
young lovers, becomes furious.
The victorious Radames returns in a blaze of
nlory, with many Ethiopian prisoners, including
Aida'a father, Amonasro, who is released by the
king at the request of the young captain. As a
reward for his victory, the king offers Amneris,
his daughter, in marriage to Radames.
In the next, the Nile scene, Aida is forced
by her father to persuade Radames to turn
traitor. Because of his love for Aida, and his
unwillingness to go through with the marriage
with Amneris, Radames agrees to the plot, but
is overheard by Amneris. When the young
i, true t" his love, refuses to forsake Aida,
he is denounced as a traitor by Amneris, and
condemned to be buried alive in a vault. When
he is entombed, he finds concealed there, Aida,
who I to 'In- with him. Here they die
in each Others arms, while above them the
.it Princess kneels in prayer.
ANDREA CHENIER. Opera in four parts.
Music by Umberto Giordano! libretto by Luigi
i Presi nt' •! in Milan, 1896.
Story: Gerard, a servant and revolutionist,
in love with Madeline, who loves
Audi' Through a letter Madeline and

terposes just as they are about to flee; Chenier
and Gerard duel with swords and Gerard is
wounded. The lovers flee but are captured later.
Gerard, knowing that Chenier has been cap-
tured, writes an indictment against him, despite
the pleadings of Madeline. Later Gerard de-
clares that he will save his rival, as Madeline
has promised herself to him (Gerard). Gerard
then tells the crowd that the charges against
Chenier are false, but the mob demands the
poet's death. Madeline enters Chenier's cell in
the prison of Lazare with Gerard. She has
bribed the jailer to allow her to substitute her-
self for another woman prisoner so that she
may die with her lover, Chenier. Together she

secretly wishes to marry her himself. Almaviva
persuades the village barber, Figari, to arrange
a meeting for him. and gains entrance to the
house disguised as a dragoon, but is arrested
by the guardian. Not discouraged, he returns,
pretending to be a substitute for Rosina's music
teacher, who, he says, is ill. The appearance of
the real music teacher, Don Basilio, spoils this
plan, and the count retreats for the second time,
having, however, arranged a plan for elopement.
Bartolo finally arouses Rosina's jealousy by pre-
tending that the count loves another, and she
promises to forget him and marry her guardian.
When the time for the elopement arrives she
meets the count, intending to reproach him, but
he convinces her of the base plot of Bartolo,
and the lovers are wedded by a notary, just as
Bartolo arrives with the officers to arrest the
count. The opera, by many, is considered
Rosini's masterpiece.

Story: Hans, a servant in the household of
Kruschina, has won the love of that rich peas-

married by her father to the rich but half-witted
Wenzel. Wenzel is the son of Kruschina's
friend, Micha. Kezal, the marriage broker,
offers Hans 300 crowns to renounce Marie. He

small garret of the quartier Latin, in a happy-
go-lucky and carefree manner that is typical of
Bohemians. Rudolph makes the acquaintance of
Mimi, a little flower girl; Marcel meets the gay
Musetta, who plays at love with him. Alternate

has joined the gypsy band. Arline has angered
the gypsy queen and during a moment of rage,
the queen accuses Arline of stealing. Arline is

ever, and returns to Lola, who accepts his at-
tentions.
Santuzza, in despair, appeals to Turiddu's
mother, Lucia, who attempts to help her. San-
tuzza is scorned, however, and goes to Alfio
revealing to him the faithlessness of his wife.
Alfio then challenges Turiddu to a duel. Tu-
riddu bids his mother farewell, asking her to
take care of Santuzza, whom he regrets having
wronged. The duelists go to the field, and soon
peasants rush upon the stage, telling of the
death of Turiddu.
CHIMES OF NORMANDY. A comic opera
in three acts. Music by Robert Planquette;
text by Clairville and Gabet. First produced in
Paris, 1877.
Story: Henri, Marquis de Valleroi, is ro-
mantic and adventurous. During his absence
from home strange things happen. Gaspard, the

Henri decides to investigate. Germaine and Ser-
polette, with Grenicheux, enter his service, and

WINNER OP HONORS at Aurora. C. E. Allen, jockey,
receives the congratulations of the Misses Vera Maroz and Eva
Strohm of Chicago. Whenever you see smiles like these there
is but one explanation— Pepsodent.
MISS MURIEL WIES comes ashore from the Nancy Lee at
Portsmouth. Hers is a smile seen often among social circles —
its charm is partly due to Pepsodent — the scientific dentifrice
that brightens teeth by removing dingy film.
Dazzling smiles are gained
so easily
This special film-removing dentifrice is advised for
twice-a-day use in cleansing teeth and combating
the commoner tooth and gum disorders
MODERN dental research has thrown
a new light on dull, "off-color"
teeth and on many of the commoner
tooth and gum disturbances. Both con-
ditions now are largely charged to a
stubborn film that forms on teeth. To a
film ordinary brushing has failed to re-
move successfully.
For that reason, a new and essentially
different way in tooth and gum care —
the Special Film-Removing Dentifrice
called Pepsodent — is being widely ad-
vised by dental authorities. A tooth paste
different in formula and action from any
other dentifrice. Dentists widely urge its
use at least twice each day — every day.
By running your tongue across your
teeth, you can feel that film — a slippery,
viscous coating. Film clings to teeth and
stays. It absorbs food and nicotine stains,
and makes teeth look dull and clouded.
It supplies a breeding place for the germs
of decay. Film, also, is the basis of
tartar. And tartar, with germs, is a cause
of pyorrhea.
Pepsodent removes that film in gentle
protection of the enamel, giving teeth
thorough cleanliness and high lustre. It
aids in firming tender gums in accor-
dance with the latest scientific findings.
It increases the alkalinity of saliva and
thus combats acids of decay.
Teeth lighten as dull film coats go.
Gums harden and take on healthy coral
color. You note a marked difference in
both teeth and gums. Please get a
tube at your druggist — only a few
cents — or write to nearest address
below for free 10-day supply.

Story: Don Carlos, son of Philip II, King of

means ceased to love Don Carlos, though mar-
ried to his father. Moved by jealousy she in-
forms the King of the conditions of affairs,
whereupon he orders his son Don Carlos thrown
into prison. While his friend Rodrigo visits
him there he is shot by the king's friends.
Don Carlos is freed and goes to the monastery
of St. Just to keep tryst with the queen. The
king surprises them there, and his anger once
more aroused he hands over Don Carlos to the
officers of the Inquisition, and thus to his death.
FAUST. Opera in five acts. Music by Gou-
nod; text founded upon Goethe's tragedy. First
produced in Paris, 1859.
Story: Faust, a German philosopher, after a
life of meditation, becomes disgusted with the
smallness of human knowledge and his own in-
ability to unravel the mysteries of nature. He
summons to his aid the Spirit of Evil, who ap-
pears to him under the form of Mephistopheles.
Through the supernatural power of Mephisto-
pheles, Faust is restored to youth and endowed
with personal beauty and luxurious garb.
Mephistopheles, in a vision, reveals to him
the village maid, Margaret, with whom the
Faust falls in love. Margaret, noted for her
loveliness, has been left by her soldier brother,
Valentine, under the care of dame Martha, a
worthy but not very vigilant personage. The
maiden at first rejects the stranger's advances,
but Faust, aided by the influence of Mephisto-
pheles, urges his suit, and Margaret yields.
Later, Valentine, Margaret's brother, who has
learned of her betrayal, is killed in a duel with
Faust. Overcome by the calamity of which she
is the cause, Margaret's reason becomes affected
and in a frenzy she kills her infant. She is
thrown into prison, and Faust, aided by Me-
phistopheles, obtains access to the cell in which
she is confined. They both eagerly urge her to
escape, but Margaret, in whom holier feelings
have obtained ascendancy, spurns their proffered
aid, and expires. She is borne to heaven.
FRA DIAVOLO. Comic opera in three acts.
Music by Daniel Auber; text by Scribe. First
produced in Paris, 1830.

time at the inti. Lord Rocburg and his wife,
Lady Pamela, arrive. They have been robbed,
and Lorenzo and his men go after the bandits.
Another guest, the suave Marquis of. San
Marco (Fra Diavolo, the bandit), next comes in
— to flirt with Lady Pamela, and to gain access
to the noble Lord's money-belt. He is dis-
tressed when Lorenzo returns with the jewels
and news of the slain robbers. The young man
is given a reward and enabled to marry.
That night, the marquis and two followers,
Beppo and Giacomo, conceal themselves in Zer-
lina's room to rob Rocburg in the night. Lo-
renzo arrives; discovered, the marqtlis makes
both him and Rocburg believe that he has been
conducting affairs with Zerlina and Lady Pa-
mela. Both men challenge him. Next morning
Zerlina discovers Beppo and Giacomo were in

are forced to betray their chief. He is led into
a trap and is shot, whereupon it is found that
Fra Divaolo and the marquis were one. All
ends happily.

LOHENGRIN. Romantic drama in three acts;
words and music by Richard Wagner. First
produced Weimar, August, 1850, under the direc-
tion of Liszt.
Many of Wagner's most beautiful melodies
come in the story of the son of Parsifal. Lo-
hengrin, a Knight of the Holy Grail, who is sent
to earth to protect Elsa, wickedly accused of
the murder of her young brother by Tetramund
and his wife, Ortrud. Lohengrin overcomes Tel-
ramund and wins Elsa as his bride. Upon her
he lays the well known verboten that she shall
ask no questions concerning his past. The un-
fortunate girl, under the influence of the pow-
erful Ortrud, is filled with curiosity, and at last
asks Lohengrin the fatal question. He satisfies
her curiosity, but is compelled to return at once
to Mont Salvat and disappears in the distance
in his swan-drawn boat. The motifs in this
opera are infinitely beautiful throughout.
LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR (Loo-chee-ah).
(Donizetti.) Opera in three acts. Text by Cam-
merano. Music by Gaetano Donizetti. First
produced in Naples in 1835.
The plot of the story was taken from Sir

Ravcnswood, but her brother, Lord Henry Ash-
ton, who was quite unaware of the love affair
between them, has secretly arranged for her
marriage to Lord Arthur Bucklaw, a wealthy
nobleman. Ashton wishes this marriage as it
would aid him in a financial way. Later, he
learns of his sister's love for Edgar and in an
underhand manner convinces Lucia that Edgar
is not true to her. Due to the intense pleadings
of her brother she finally, very much against her
will, says that she will marry Lord Arthur.
Then the wedding scene at which the famous
sextette is sung. It is at this time the heart-
broken Edgar arrives to denounce Lucia for her
unfaithfulness. He is evicted from the castle
and Lucia, whose mind has become deranged,
suddenly kills her husband and then dies. Ed-
gar's sorrow is more than he can bear, so he
stabs himself while in the churchyard at Ra-
venswood.
MANON LESCAUT (Man-on Les-koh). (Puc-
cini). Sung in Italian. Opera in four acts, the
libretto, founded on Abbe Prevost's novel, be-
ing mainly the work of the composer. The Abbe
Prevost romance has been treated operatically
by several composers.
Manon's brother, Lescaut, is escorting his sis-
ter to the convent where she is to complete her
education. While Lescaut is carousing with
companions, Manon meets des Grieux, who
chances to be dining at the inn, dressed as a
student. School not appealing to the girl, she
agrees to elope, thereby spoiling the plans of
Geronte, who had planned to abduct her. Manon
tires of des Grieux and his poverty, and leaves
him for Geronte; but when 'des Grieux appears
again she runs away with him. Geronte de-
nounces Manon as an abandoned woman. She
is condemned to be deported to Louisiana. Des
Grieux and Lescaut try to rescue her, but the
attempt fails and the former begs the com-
mandant to permit him to accompany her. In
the final scene the lovers are shown in a
"desert" near New Orleans. Des Grieux leaves
Manon to search for water, and returns just in
time to see her die in his arms.

Friedrich Von Flotow. Libretto by Wilhelm
Friedrich Reese and St. George. First produced

court. Life to Nancy and Lady Harriet is even
duller than before, for in their adventure, Dan
Cupid short four arrows true to the mark.

to the Queen and is restored to court as the
son of the Earl of Denby. Plunkett and Nancy
are reunited and they plot to bring Lady Har-
riet and Lionel together, whom they know love

Rose of Summer." He recognizes" the owner as
Lady Harriet, whom he knows as Martha, and
sweeps her into his arms.
MIGNON (Meen-yon). (Paris, 1866.) (Am-
broise Thomas.) Opera in three acts; text by
Barbier and Carre, based upon Goethe's "Wil-
helm Meister;" music by Ambroise Thomas.
First production, Paris, 1866; London, 1870;
New York, 1872.
The first act opens in the yard of a German
inn. A group of actors, including the beautiful
Filina, are on their way to the Prince's castle,
where they are to give a performance. A stroll-
ing band of gypsies arrives, and Mignon, who
is with them, is ordered to dance for the en-
tertainment of the guests. The girl is weary,
and on her refusal to dance, Giarno, the leader,
threatens her. Lothario tries to protect the
young girl, and Giarno turns upon the old man.
Wilhelm, a wandering student, appears and
rescues both Mignon and the harper, and to
save the girl from further persecution engages
her as his page. Wilhelm is invited by Filina
to join the troupe in their visit to the castle.
He consents, and the flirtation which follows
arouses the jealousy of Mignon, who, touched
by Wilhelm's kindness, has fallen in love with
him. In despair she is about to throw herself
into the lake when she hears the notes of Lo-
thario's harp. She asks his protection, and
rashly tells him she wishes the castle would
burn to the ground. The demented old man,
thinking only to please her, goes into the castle.
Filina and the actors appear, and Filina sends
Mignon to the castle for some flowers she has
left there. Suddenly flames burst from the win-
dows, and Wilhelm rushes to the burning build-
ing and carries out the unconscious Mignon.
Wilhelm is soon cured of his infatuation for
Filina and discovers Mignon's true devotion.
The third act takes place in the palace of
Lothario, who has instinctively returned to his
ancestral home, bringing with him Mignon.
They are accompanied by Wilhelm, who now
realizes that he loves his youthful ward. The
young girl is soon discovered to be the long lost
child of Lothario, who suddenly recovers his
reason. Father and daughter are reunited, while
a blessing is bestowed on the young people by
the happy Lothario.

ORFEO ED EURIDICE (Or-feh-oh ayd Ay-
oo-ree-dee-cheh). (Orpheus and Eurydice.)
(Vienna, October 5, 1762.) (Gluck.)
Book by Ramieri De Calzabigi; music by
Christoph Willibald von Gluck. First production
in Vienna, October 5, 1762, Gluck conducting.
First Paris production, 1774, when the role of
Orpheus was transposed for high tenor. First
London production at Covent Garden, June 26,
1770. Other revivals were during the Winter
Garden season of 1863; in 188S (in German), by
the Metropolitan Opera under Walter Datn-
rosch; the English production in 1886 by the
National Opera company; the Abbey revival in
Italian in 1892; and the Metropolitan production
of 191(1, with Homer, Gadski and Gluck.
The opera has had only one adequate Amer-
ican production previous to this Metropolitan
revival, and that was during the American
Opera company season of 1886 — the Abbey re-
vival of 1892 meeting with but poor success.
This opera, which has been called "Gluck's
incomparable masterpiece," and of which the
great Fetis wrote, "it is one of the most beau-
tiful productions of genius," may be properly
termed a purely classical music drama. The
music is exquisite in its delicacy and grace,
while the story is an interesting and affecting
one. "Orpheus" may be called the grandfather
of grand opera, it being the oldest work of its
kind to hold its place on the stage, the first rep-
resentation occurring over 150 years ago.
The story concerns the Greek poet, Orpheus,
who grieves deeply over the death of his wife,
Euridice, and finally declares he will enter the
realms of Pluto and search for her among the
spirits of the departed. The goddess Love ap-
pears and promises to aid him, on condition
that when he has found Euridice he will return
to earth without once looking at her.
PAGLIACCI (The Players). (Pahl-yat-chee.)
Dramatic opera in two acts by Ruggiero Leon-
cavallo. First produced in Milan, 1892.
It opens with the world-famous "Prologue"
in which Tonio, the clown of the strolling play-
yers, parts the curtains and explains that the
play is taken from real life; reminds the audi-
ence that actors are but men with passions and
emotions like our own, and that the author has
tried to express the real feelings and sentiments
of the characters. The "Prologue" ends when
Tonio orders up the curtain.
The first act shows Canio and his band of
players returning from parading the village. He
announces that the performance will begin at
seven that evening and takes leave with Peppe
(the Harlequin). Tonio remains behind and
makes love to Canio's wife, Nedda, but she
scorns him, striking him with her whip for
which humiliation he swears to be revenged.
Silvio, a rich young villager, is also in love
with Xadda, and begs her to flee with him. She
refuses but vows that she loves him. This is
all overheard by the spurned Tonio, who imme-
diately tells Canio. Canio comes to kill Nedda's
lover but arrives too late. He demands, but she
refuses to tell him the name of her lover.
In Act II the audience is assembled and the
play begins. A situation is then presented
which is very akin to the drama of actual life
which we have just recounted. Punchinello
(Canio) arrives and surprises the lovers (as
the playlet demands), then he loses his head
when he hears Columbine (Nedda) repeat the
very words he heard her say to her lover.
Columbine (Nedda) tries to save the situation
by continuing the play. The audience is de-
lighted with such "realistic acting." He again
demands the lover's name until Nedda, stung by
his taunts, defies him (Canio) and is stabbed by
him. She falls, calling for Silvio, who rushes to
the stage from the crowd, only to receive in
turn the dagger of the enraged husband.
As Canio stands stupified he drops the dagger
and cries, "The comedy is ended."
PEARL FISHERS— Pescatori di Perle (Paris,
186.1). (Bizet.) (All sung in Italian unless
otherwise noted.)
Thia beautiful opera tells of the love of two
Cingalese pearl fishers for Leila, a priestess, and
of tin- generosity of the unsuccessful one, who
help hi rival and his love escape at the cost of
his own life. Nadir appears to Zurga, a lifelong
friend, during a dance of the pearl fishermen. A
mysterious veiled lady, who comes once a year
to pray for the fisheries, appears and begins her
invocation. Despite her veil, she is recognized
by Xadir and contrives lo let him know that
1 ■ is love is returned. She is reminded later, at
RADIO DIGES T — Illustrated
a temple, of her vow to renounce love and mar-
riage. The high priest, who reminds her that
the penalty is death, then leaves her alone, and
Nadir enters. The lovers are surprised by
Nourabad, the high priest, and Nadir flees. He
is recaptured, and Zurga is brought to pro-
nounce sentence upon the pair. Their funeral
pyre is ready when Zurga cries that the camp
is on fire; the lovers escape in the melee; Zurga
later confesses and is burned to death.
MIKADO (Gilbert and Sullivan). Light Opera
in two acts. Text by Gilbert. Music by Sul-
livan. First produced in London, 1885.
The scene is laid in Japan. Nankipoo, the
son of the Japanese Mikado, flees from an unde-
sirable marriage with Katisha. He falls in love
with Yum-Yum, the ward of Ko-Ko, who se-
cretly wishes to marry her himself. Because of
his ill-luck in this affair Nankipoo starts to kill
himself but is intercepted by Ko-Ko's execution-
ers. Later Nankipoo is the hero of a fake execu-
tion but is recognized by his father and Ko-Ko
is caught in his deception. The deceiving Ko-Ko
is then' forced to marry Katisha, and Nankipoo
gets the girl of his heart.
RIGOLETTO (Ree-goh-let-toh). An opera in
three acts by the great Italian composer, Verdi.
First presented in Venice, 1851.
The story tells of the young profligate, the
Duke of Mantuna, who loves every girl whom
he meets. He is aided in his conquests by the
deformed jester, Rigoletto. Count Monterone,
father of one of the Duke's victims, meets
Rigoletto and hurls an awful father's curse upon
him, which affects him (Rigoletto) because of
his own daughter, Gilda. On his way home
Rigoletto meets the assassin, Sparafucile, who
offers to kill any enemy he may have. Rigoletto
sends him on his way but tells him that he may
use him later.
Later, Gilda (Rigoletto's daughter) falls in love
with the Duke and is abducted to his palace,
with the aid of Rigoletto, who is unaware that
it is his daughter.
When Rigoletto learns of what he has dont
and that he is too late to save his daughter, he
swears vengeance and arranges to have Spara-
fucile murder his master.
Sparafucile has his attractive sister Maddalena
lure the Duke to an old tavern. Maddalena,
however, falls in love with the Duke and induces
her father to murder a substitute. Gilda, who
has been taken to the Inn by her father to wit-
ness the Duke's "fickleness," overhears the plot
and determines to save the Duke at a sacrifice
of her own life.
SAMSON ET DALILAH (Sam-sohn-ay-Dah-
lee-lah). A biblical opera in three acts. By
Saint- Saens. First produced in Weimar in 1877.
Samson is the self-appointed leader of the
Hebrews, and after a great battle returns a
triumphant victor. His great power had won for
the Hebrews. Dalilah, a beautiful woman, came
with flowers to pay homage to the warrior and
Samson, unwillingly (because he had been warned
of her) fell madly in love with Dalilah.
Later, in her own home, Dalilah uses all her
charms to induce Samson to reveal the plans
of the Hebrews and when he refuses, she calls
for the Philistines, who overpower and capture
him. They chain him to a heavy mill which is
grinding corn for the Philistines and torture him.
Samson is taken before the High Priests, who
are celebrating their victory at a banquet in the
temple and is made sport of. He prays to God
for strength, is answered and pulls the pillars
from beneath the roof. The Temple crashes down
amid shrieks and groans.
TANNHAUSER (Tahn-hoy-zer) (Wagner).
One of Richard Wagner's most notable music
dramas. In three acts. Words also by Wagner.
Tannhauser, a brave knight, has been under
the evil wiles of Venus, living a life of passion
and evil. He tires of such a sordid existence
and returns to his home. He is joyously wel-
comed by Elizabeth, whose love for him is pure
and holy.
There is to be a song tournament and the one
who wins is to have the hand of Elizabeth as
the prize. Tannhauser is urged to compete in
the contest, which is to be on individual com-
positions on "The Nature of Love." Because of
his recent experience with Venus, Tannhauser
renders a song of such a disgusting passionate
appeal that the Minstrels draw their swords to
slay him. He is saved, however, by Elizabeth,
who pleads for his life.
Tannhauser repents and realizes the greatness
of the higher love. He joins a band of pilgrims
and starts for Rome to ask forgiveness of the
Pope.
Elizabeth has been watching and waiting for
the return of Tannhauser, steadfast in her love.
but when she finds that he is not among the
band of Pilgrims which has passed, she passes
away.
Tannhauser appeals to the Pope for forgive-
ness but is told that it is impossible. He is
heart-broken and intends to return to Venus-
berg and Venus, but he meets his old friend,
Wolfram, and tells him of his intentions. Then
a band of Pilgrims is heard approaching. They
come with the good news that the Pope's staff
has blossomed and that Tannhauser was for-
given. Tannhauser kneels in prayer as the body
of his beloved Elizabeth is carried by.
TOSCA, LA (Toss-kah) (Puccini). An opera
in three acts based on Sardou's novel. Text by
Illica and Giacosa. Music by Giacomo Puccini.
First produced in Rome, 1900.
Mario Cavaradossi is in love with the beautiful
Tosca. Scarpia, the head of the police, has ma-
liciously imprisoned Mario when he is found to
be hiding a friend, a state fugitive. In the ab-
sence of Mario, Scarpia makes ardent love to
Tosca, and threatens to bring about the death
of Mario unless she gives herself to him. Be-
cause of her great love for Mario she consents
to this. Scarpia has told her there have been
orders issued to the soldiers to use blank cart-
ridges in their guns. He has, however, secretly
instructed them that genuine bullets be used.
Mario has been told, in the meantime, by Tosca,
who has stabbed Scarpia, of the plan and he is
to feign death after the firing.
When the execution takes place, Mario falls
to the ground and it is not until she calls for him
to arise does Tosca discover the terrible tragedy.
The body of Scarpia has been found and the
officials enter to arrest Tosca, who throws her-
self from the Castle Wall— to death.
TRAVIATA. Opera in three acts; libretto by
Piave, based upon Dumas' "Lady of the Camel-
ias"; music by Verdi. First presented in Venice,
1853.
Verdi's opera "Traviata," and Sarah Bern-
hardt's playing of "Camille," are the two famous
adaptions of Dumas' story. The story is simple,
but appealing. Violetta is one of the beautiful
and spoiled courtesans of Paris. Alfred, her lover,
after a long suit has at last persuaded Violetta
to give up her gay life and live with him in his
humble apartment. Alfred's father, whose aims
for his son are of another sort, comes to Violetta
and persuades her to release his son from the
marriage. Violetta unselfishly agrees, but be-
ing left alone seeks comfort in' returning to her
former gay life. Alfred, who has been made to

licly insults her. The heroine gallantly remains
by her promise to Alfred's father, and not until
too late does the young man discover the truth.
He seeks her again only to find her dying.
TROVATORE. Opera in four acts. Words by
Cammanaro; music by Verdi. First produced in
Rome, 1853.
Before the curtain rises on the first act, it is
necessary to know that, many years before, the
father of the present Count di Luna had burned
the mother of Azucena, an old gypsy, who in
revenge had stolen the young brother of the
Count, and at the opening of the story had
brought up Manrico as her own son, Manrico be-
ing quite unconscious' of the plot of the gypsy.
As a Troubadour he has gained the love of Leo-
nora, also admired by the Count. In the first
act Manrico and the Count meet in a duel, their
paths having crossed on the way to Leonora. The
Count's life is generously spared by Manrico. In
the next act Manrico is seen in the gypsy camp
under the care of Azucena, recovering from a
wound. He hears that Leonora, whose affections
are in his favor, believing him dead, is about to
take the veil. Also .he hears the Count intends
to abduct her. He hastens to the Convent in
time to rescue Leonora. One tragedy after
another darkens the third act. Manrico learns
that Azucena is in the power of the Count, con-
demned to be burned. Still believing her his
mother, he flies to the rescue and is in turn cap-
tured by the Count. The gloom is even darker in
the final act, where Leonora, to save Manrico.
agrees to wed the Count, but on the signing of
the order swallows poison. In retaliation the
Count orders Manrico to instant death, and only
learns, when too late, from Azucena that he has
killed his own brother.
ZAZA (Tsah-sah.) Opera in four acts. Libretto
and music by Ruggiero Leoncavallo. First pro-
duced in Milan in 1900.
Zaza, a concert singer loves Milio Dufresne but
discovers that Dufresne is wed '=d to another. She
tells him that she has discovered his deception
and also that she has told his wife of their in-
timacy.
This is untrue, but Dufresne curses Zaza an I
kills her love for him.

Okeyed by "Gannon
Ball" Baker
The Stransky Vaporizer has
passed the rigid tests made on
"Cannon Ball" Baker's Proving
Grounds outside Indianapolis.
"Worthy the investigations of
every motorist," writes Baker.
"A single trial will prove the
worth of your vaporizer. I heartily
recommend it to all motorists."

Durable Dane
as he looked the day after he
knocked out Joe Gans for the
lightweight championship. Bat
made 40 miles on: a gallon
with a roadster and, 33^2 miles
a gallon with a touring car.
Bat writes: "Most of the
public know me well enough
to know that I never bunked
them in my life. And when
I say your vaporizer is all
you say it is, I mean it."
Drives 1300 Miles Without Buying Gasoline
A. remarkable test was recently made on the
Stransky Vaporizer by J. R. Wood of St. Louis.
On his Oldsmobile he had been getting only 17
miles a gallon of gas. After installing the
Stransky he drove 3000 miles and averaged 30
miles a gallon. Thus he got in effect 1300 miles
of free gasoline.

H. H. Cummings has saved
1905 gallons of gasoline on
50,000 miles. "I have used
one on my 1922 Ford which
I i have driven over - 50,000
miles," he says. "I am get-
ting 30 miles a gallon where
before I got only 12 to 14
miles a gallon."
Virgil Barnes,
N. Y. Giant Pitcher, says:
"Words can not express my
delight with the Stransky
Vaporizer. I left New York
City after the close of the
baseball season with a vapor-
izer on my Chrysler 60. When
I arrived in Holton, Kansas,
I found I had averaged with-
in a fraction of 47 miles per
gallon of gas."
Finds a Gasoline Well In His Own Back Yard !
Geo. South of Kansas City. Mo., owns a Ford

Who Else
Wants to Save Gasoline?
A SOUTH DAKOTA man has discovered an amazing gas-
saving invention now installed on over two million cars
of every make. Already over ten thousand car owners say
it increases gas mileage 25 per cent to 50 per cent . . . cleans
out carbon without touching the engine. . . adds more speed
and power . . . and saves an astonishing amount of money in
gasoline and repair expense. There is a model for every car,
truck, tractor or gasoline engine. Anybody can install it in a
few minutes.
This invention is based on newly disovered facts about
potential gasoline power . . . startling facts, that few car
owners know about. For example, it is now found that the
average man wastes at least 20 per cent to 30 per cent of his
gasoline through improper combustion. And many more in-
teresting discoveries, too detailed to mention here.
Read on the right what other car owners say about it. Then
accept the inventor's special introductory offer. He will send
you samples to test without obligation to buy. If you find it
doesn't do for you what it has done for other car owners, he
will pay a cash forfeit for the few minutes you've spent in
testing it.
Don't send a penny now. Simply send your name in coupon
below and get full description of this queer little device that is
saving money for other car owners. No obligation, of course.
But if you really want to cut down the high cost of running
your car, this is your opportunity. Tear out the coupon below

HELLO everybody! There is so much

There have been so many weddings
that it seems as if one never gets to
the end of them. KYW's Uncle Bob
got married this summer. Uncle Bob
is, of course, Walter Wilson, who is so
well loved by the children who listen to
KYW. Listen to this because it is a
real Radio romance. Mrs. Lola Fischer
Marks of Davenport, Iowa, heard Uncle
Bob over the air and liked his kindly
stories so much that somehow or other
they met, and there you are. Uncle Bob
says the bigger you are the harder you
fall and Uncle Bob is not very tiny, so
he must have fallen hard.

One of the sweetest marriages this
summer was that of Polly Willis and
John Clark. I told you all about how
that happened in the last issue.
Wouldn't it have been terrible if John
had gone to WBZ before Polly came
up to sing at KYW? Just think, they
would never have met. Well, they did
meet and now Polly Clark is appearing
at WBZ with her husband and they just
love to sing love songs together.
"Billy and Helen" started the epi-
demic of "loveitis" at KOIL by turning
their little comedies of married life into
actuality, when they were married last
spring. While on their honeymoon
they broadcast their little skits from
many stations. Their real names are
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Marshall. Patricia
of KOIL says they started everybody
else in the station getting married and
now it's simply impossible to find any-
body who is single.

"I am very glad to state that after
testing many aerials in my laboratory
I find your Sub-Aerial is the best for
clarity of tone and elimination of
static, also for greater volume and
selectivity.
Your Sub-Aerial will fill a long-felt
want among the Radio Fans."
A. B. Johnson,
Radio Engineer
Chicago, May 9th, 1928
"Received my Sub-Aerial and it has
been installed as per directions. We
are more than satisfied with the re-
sults. The tone is marvelously clear
without static interruptions. We
would not consider changing back to
an outdoor aerial under any circum-

GROUND AERIAL!
Get Amazing Distance — Greater
Volume and Finer Selectivity
Without Distortion
Why go on listening to terrible static and other madden-
ing outside noises? Now you can get the real music your
present Radio is capable of giving, by hooking your set on
to the clear, practically static free ground waves with
Sub-Aerial. The air is always full of static and your over-
head aerial picks it up and brings it to your speaker. So
why stay in the air — when you can use the whole earth
as a static and noise filter with Sub-Aerial?
SUB-AERIAL is a scientific, proven system of taking
the radio waves from the ground, where they are filtered
practically free of static. It brings these filtered waves
to your radio set clear of static and interference common
with overhead aerials. The result is positively clear
reception, remarkable selectivity and greatly increased
volume. The overhead aerial is a thing of the past because
it is the weak link in radio. SUB-AERIAL has replaced
overhead aerials because SUB-AERIAL is 100% efficient.
How can you get good reception without one?
Low Original Cost — No Upkeep Cost
SUB-AERIAL costs no more than an overhead or loop
aerial and less than many. Its first cost is the only one.
SUB-AERIAL is permanent. No trouble — no hard work,
or risking your neck on roofs.
25'Year Guarantee
SUB-AERIAL is guaranteed against any defects in
workmanship or material and against deterioration for
25 years. Any SUB- AERIAL which has been installed
according to directions and proves defective or deteriorates
within 25 years, will be replaced free of charge; and also
we will pay $1.00 for installing any such new replacement.
TRY IT FREE!
We know so well the surprising results you'll get that we'll let you
put in a Sub-Aerial entirely at our Risk. You be the Judge. Don't
take down your overhead Aerial. Pick a summer night when static
and noise interference on your old Aerial are "Just Terrible." If
Sub-Aerial doesn't Sell Itself to You Right Then on Performance —
you needn't pay us a cent. Send for "all the Dope on Sub-Aerial."

Oscar Heather of WBCN-WENR is
such a dear. He always knows just what
to answer so that we girls
will be satisfied. Paul Mc-
Clure is new in Radio, he
says, Mrs. LS, and is the
Sunshine announcer. He
is twenty-eight years old,
a blonde, blue eyed, good
looking, single. His hob-
by is "Ben Jonson." What in the world
do you mean by that, Oscar? Mr.
Heather says he has been down in Iowa
and over in Michigan and Mr. McClure
is very popular with the ladies. He
doesn't have to tell us that, does he,
girls?
Mary of Oklahoma, Zack and Glenn
of KTSA were so nice about my letter.
Zack sat right down and answered it.
I am going to quote from it. "We feel
highly complimented by having you ask
our history, musical status, color of hair,
married or single, etc. Truly, we have
never given this information to anyone,
but we feel that when you know the
real truth you will protect us from the
public. Haven't decided what I'll say
about myself yet, so I'll tell about Zack
first, his best qualification being the
way he can sing — AND HOW — partic-
ularly adapted to Radio work. His next
best qualification is, I suppose, his
brown hair and eyes and very smooth
olive complexion. (I say this because
he seems to go over mighty good with
the fair sex.) Sorry his hair isn't curly
— this is one of his greatest drawbacks.
Zack is not married YET — but it won't
be long now — as he is contemplating
entering upon the 'sea of matrimony'
ere the year has passed and I suppose
it is about time, as he is now in his
twenty-eighth year.
"Say, Marcella, after fifteen or twenty
minutes of heavy thinking — I've come
to the conclusion that personal modesty
prohibits me from telling just how good
I am, so I have asked, the office girl to
come here to the typewriter and give
you the information you want."
"Well, I don't know why Mr. Hewitt
should be so hesitant to write about
himself. I know if I could sing the
mean tenor he supports Mr. Hurt with,
I'd want to tell the world about it.
Zack and Glenn play their own accom-
paniments. Glenn is dark with black
hair and it's curly, hazel eyes and he
is twenty-eight and also unmarried.
I think he is depending on leap year- just
a bit, for he is very bashful — until he
starts giving orders around the studio —
then in accents loud and blustering he
tells you HOW. The way I have to
answer the telephone, along with my
two assistants, when these two are put-
ting on one of their request programs,
is something terrible." She signs her-
self the Office Girl. Doesn't that make
you feel as if you were there? They
sent me such a teeny-weeny picture it
couldn't be used.
Louise asks me about Jack and Gene.
They were at WEBH before they went
to WLS. What keen ears you have.
Don't waste any time on Louie's Hun-
gry Five, because all the Hungry Fivers
are married. The leading Five is Herr
Louie. There's some mystery about
them, because that is all the information
WGN will give out and I am sure we
would all like to know how they became
hungry.

Ned, that handsome Mona Motor Oil

I Said"Goodbye"to It All
After Reading This
Amazing Book
-Raised My Pay
700%
When a man who'has been
struggling along at low-pay
suddenly steps out and com -
mences to earn real money —
$5,000 to $10,000 a year— he
usually gives his friends
quite a shock. But such
things happen much more
frequently than most people
realize. Not only one, but
HUNDREDS have altered the
whole course of their lives
afte^ reading the amazing book illustrated at the
right.
Where Shall We Send Your Copy Free?
As an example of what this book has done, the
career of R. B. Hansen of Akron, Ohio, is just a
typical case. Not long ago he was a foreman in a
factory at a salary of $160 a month. One day this
remarkable volume, "Modern Salesmanship," fell
into his hands. Today Mr. Hansen has reaped the
rewards that this little volume placed within his
reach. His salary runs well into the 5-figure class —
actually exceeding $10,000 a year!
Another man, Wm. Shore of Neenach, California,
was a cowboy when he sent for "Modern Salesman-
ship." Now he is a salesman making as high as $525
in a single week. O. D. Oliver of Norman, Okla-
homa, read it and jumped from $200 a month to
over $10,000 a year!
There was nothing "different" about any of these
men when they started. Like many others, they
subscribed to the foolish belief that successful sales-
men are born with some "magic gift." But "Modern
Salesmanship" showed them that nothing could be
farther from the truth I Salesmanship has certain
fundamental rules and laws — laws that you can
master as easily as you learned the alphabet.
City and traveling sales positions are open all
over the country. For years, thousands of leading
firms have called on the N. S. T. A. to supply them
with salesmen. Employment service is free to both
employers and members.
SEE FOR YOURSELF why this FREE BOOK
has been the deciding factor in the careers of so
many men who are now making $10,000 a year. No

MARCELLA
(Continued from page 118)
There's a young lady in Denver who
lias completely vamped the announcer
of KOA, Freeman Talbot,
and Mr. Talbot is such a
nice man too. However,
she really is very devastat-
ing and perhaps he is not
to blame. Look at her
pretty brown eyes and her
lovely mouth. She is Kath-
ryn Louise Talbot. Otherwise, says Mr.
Talbot, known as Kitzi. Isn't she the
sweetest little thing and pretty? Bless
her little heart.

Two little girls from Oklahoma have
asked me about that wonderful tenor at
WGN, Frank Roberts.
Girls, he is the most
attractive man, unmarried
and girl shy. Isn't that
terribly unusual these
days? He is five feet nine
inches tall, weighs 148
pounds and is 26 years old.
He has melting innocent blue eyes and
blonde curly hair. One reason he hasn't
much time for girls is because he is
studying at the Chicago Musical Col-
lege, sings in church on Sunday and
broadcasts at WGN.
* * *
John Patt of WJR made fun of my
request about Jack Franz, Les. He sent
the answer to the statis-
tical department of the
Radio Digest. You know,
some of the Station Direc-
tors look upon Marcella's
department as sort of a
detective bureau. I think
that's just because they're
married, don't you? Or maybe it's just
because they are so used to being
checked up on. Anyway, Mr. Patt an-
swered all of our questions. Mr. Franz
is married, 26 years old, has brown eyes
and hair, and his chief hobby is golf.
He came to Detroit in 1920 from Lon-
don, England, where he had been a well
known pianist. He did not take up the
organ until he arrived in this country.

I was just reading your letter, The
Sweet Heart of Sigma Chi, in which you
speak about Bobby Griffin
and wondering where
Bobby was, because he
left WBBM and WJBT
early in the summer, when
in came a letter from
Bobby from Gainesville,
Florida. You must tune
in WRUF now to hear him. I am sorry
I can't answer your question about the
Masked Marvel. He's a mystery still.
Here is the latest on Dick Wells of
WHBF. From his description and his
boyish grin, I guess he is some heart
charmer. Six feet tall with black eyes
and black wavy hair, he is very good
looking. His hobbies are dancing, driv-
ing sport Chrysler, and Radio Research
work. Needless to say, he is not mar-
ried.

You will never guess who came in to
see Marcella this summer while she was
on her vacation. I knew you couldn't
because it just seems as if he comes
from the very edge of the world, Cliff
Jones of CFQC. He is tall, with brown
eyes and black hair, and slim. He is
very attractive, so I heard. Here's what
Cliff wrote to Marcella, "So Marcella
was on a vacation. I ask you, is that
nice? Surely you would not deceive a
poor little boy from the wilds of North-
ern Canada, the Land of the Midnight

I Used To Be
A 'Stylish Stout'
"F
The personal story 01
a woman who made
herself over into a
slim, graceful, buoy-
ant healthy person —
free from the ill-ef-
fects of obesity.
"T was a perpetual tor-
ment for me to be
stout. I couldn't go
anywhere without being re-
minded that I was fat. I
couldn't walk a block without
sitting down. Even the light-
est housework quickly tired
me. My heart would beat too
fast if I hurried. I was afraid
to accept invitations because
I knew people would always
be talking about me. You
can imagine what misery fat
caused me — aches and pains
In my body as well as mental
worry.
"But that's all over now,
and all the credit for my
wonderful improvement goes
to Annette Kellermann. I
had heard how she, called the
world's most perfectly formed
woman, had once been a puny,
ailing sickly child. I found
out that her figure had not
changed by a fraction of an
inch, or by the least part of
an ounce, in over 16 years.
I wrote to Miss Kellermann,
told her all about myself, and asjied what she could
do for me.
"In reply she sent me a charming letter and a copy of
her delightful book called, The Body Beautiful. • That
book, I can truly say, was the turning point in my life.
It rescued me from the misery of fat, and showed me
the way to make myself exquisitely slim in a short while
And it was so very easy. Actually, it was a delight
for me to follow her instructions — light exercise for only
15 minutes a day, and plenty of the right kind of satis-
fying food that produced energy instead of fat. It was a
revelation, even to me, how quickly my weight began to
decrease. I felt better from the very first day.
"Please don't think that my case is unusual. Miss
Kellermann has helped me wonderfully. But she has
also helped 35,000 other women. So, if you are inclined
to stoutness, write at once for Miss Kellermann's book
and get her advice on reducing. It may be worth more
than you realize in greater vitality, better health and
a more beautiful figure."
******
Miss Kellermann will be glad to send you, free, a copy
of her book, "The Body Beautiful." She will also tell
you about her method of reduction — a sane, sensible,
scientific way that takes off your weight and at the same
time increases your energy and .strength. Simply send

Helen, when you asked about Louis
John Johnen, the petite and very attrac-
tive little publicity girl at Crosley's
WLW-WSAI was in the office. You
remember Natalie. She said the follow-
ing things about Mr. Johnen, "Louis
John Johnen causes more women in the
Ohio Valley to haunt their Radio sets
than any other baritone in captivity. He
is heard regularly at WLW on Tuesday
nights at 9 p. m. and at other times as
a soloist. He is a member of the Cin-
cinnati Zoo Opera Company and of the
faculty of the Cincinnati Conservatory
of Music. His ambitions are mainly set-
tled on Europe, a fact which makes
every girl in the Radio audience long for
a Radio set that will pick up Radio Paris
when Louis finally lands on the banks
of the Seine."
* * *
Has anybody heard Al Carney on the
air lately? No one at WHT seems to
know where he has gone. Where, oh
where has our little Al gone?
* * *
Somebody who calls herself a Fan
asked me about Norman Brokenshire
and I thought you would like to know
that I saw Norman this summer when I
was sailing down from Boston to New
York. There he was on board ship and
he got up a regular midnight show for
all the passengers. My, I was thrilled!
He looks just like his pictures, has
brown hair, brown eyes, is mediumly
tall, and his voice still has that thrilling
quality.
Vera, you don't know what you
stirred up when you asked me all those
questions. The boss at WHO, Mr.
Heinz, got hold of my letter and his
reply was so funny that I am still chuck-
ling over it, but I am afraid to publish
it because you know what Mr. Cole and
Mr. Whitney would do to me. Besides
I have seen both men and Mr. Heinz
can't fool me. Imagine, he says Mr. Cole
is enjoying his sixth marital venture.
Isn't that a joke? We will have to wait
until Mr. Heinz is away and try again.
Naughty, naughty, Mr. Heinz. We
know him too.
You also ask about the Studio Pest at
KOIL, Vera._ "No, Bill Goodrich, 'The
Studio Pest,' is no longer with us," says
Patricia of KOIL, "but whenever he
drops in to visit our station, he goes on
the air for a short time. Right now the
Mona Motor Oil Orchestra, of which
he is a member, is in Texas. Bill is
really a handsome brute, young (about
22, I believe), tall and athletic looking.
He has blue eyes and medium colored
hair."
So you have fallen for the handsome
Donald Clark, Marion? I don't blame
you, he is the best looking
thing as you can see from
his picture. He is five feet,
eleven inches tall, and
weighs 140 pounds. He
has a dark complexion,
brown hair and eyes. A
man as good looking must
be married, don't you think? When he
isn't announcing, or singing, and that's
his ambition, to be a concert singer, or
turning out short stories and lyrics, he
is playing tennis or golf.

Masters Better Known
WORKS of the old master com-
posers are better known today
than ever before. Through Radio they
have reached the masses of the people
of the world. To retain this list con-
venient with your new log Radio Digest
preserves the short biographies for your
convenient reference.
BALFE, MICHAEL WILLIAM. Born Dublin,
1808. Violinist at Drury Lane, London, 1824. First
baritone, Paris Opera, 1828. First opera was pro-
duced in Italy. Married Lina Rosa, Hungarian
singer. Wrote 31. operas, including "Bohemian
Girl," s-ung in many languages and popular the
world over. Wrote many songs in addition. Died
1870, Rowney Abbey, England.
BACH, JOHANN SEBASTIAN (Bahkh),
Born Eisenach, Prussia, 1685. Family very musi-
cal and was taught violin by father. Afterward
studied clavichord. Chorister at Luneberg, 1700.
Organist, Armstadt, 1704; appointed court organ-
ist at Weimar, 1707; 'then Concertmeister. Kapell-
meister at Coethen 1717 to 1723, then director of
several Leipsic churches. Married twice; 20 chil-
dren. Was greatest master of fugue and counter-
point, and first to introduce present method of
fingering for pianoforte. Works numerous, in-
cluding 300 church cantatas, many organ works,
suites, concertos, etc. Larger works include
"Mass in B Minor," "Christmas Oratorio,"
"Passion of St. John and St. Matthew." Bach
died in 1750, after having become almost blind.
BEETHOVEN, LUDWIG VAN (Bay-toh-ven)
(1770-1827). Born Bonn, Germany, 1770. Began
study of music at age 4. Played at concert at 8.
Began composition at 10, writing a cantata and
"nine variations." Assistant to concert organ-
ist at 11, at 12 conductor of Court Opera Or-
chestra (without pay!). When 14 was granted
a salary of 150 florins (about $80 a year!). In
1787 made first visit to Vienna, a great event for
the boy. Compositions not important until 1795,
but from then to his death wrote 260 works. Only
opera, "Fidelio," produced Vienna, 1805.
Beethoven's influence on art of music very
great and can hardly be estimated. He died
March 26, 1827; buried in Vienna.
BIZET, GEORGES (Bee-zay). One of the
greatest musicians of the modern French opera
school was Georges Bizet (1838-1875). His first
operas were "The Pearl Fishers" and "Djamileh."
In "Carmen" Bizet composed one of the most
pleasing and popular operas of all time. Although
not an opera the music which Bizet wrote for
Alphonse Daudet's drama "L'Arlesienne" is one
of the greatest compositions of a dramatic type
which has been found in modern music.
BRAHMS, JOHANNES (Brahmz) (1833-1897).
Rightly regarded as one of the greatest masters
of the modern school of music. His works are
monuments of technical skill, ranking with those
of Beethoven and others of the world's foremost
composers. He wrote almost entirely in sym-
phonic forms. He wrote many beautiful songs
and several symphonies, serenades, concert over-
tures for orchestra, and the Hungarian Dances.
CHOPIN, FREDERIC FRANCOIS (Show-
Pahn) (1809-1849). Frequently called "the poet of
the piano." A Pole by birth and deeply devoted
to his native land, whose folk music he constant-
ly uses in his own compositions. He is often
classified as a member of the French Romantic
School. His great Sonata in B minor reflects
his sorrow on the downfall of his native Poland.
His Mazurkas, Polonaises, Krakoviaks, reflect his
love for his homeland. He was the first great
composer to bring into prominence the use of
national characteristics in his compositions. His
works are for piano solo, with the exception of
a few songs and his two concertos for piano and
orchestra. Chopin is regarded as the greatest
poetic musician who ever lived.
DVORAK, ANTONIN. The greatest of modern
Bohemian composers, was born in 1841. Died
1904. In the early nineties he spent three years
in New York City as artistic director of the
National Conservatory, a result of his stay being
the wonderful "Symphony, from the New World,"
which has for its basic motive a number of the
American plantation melodies.
GOUNOD, CHARLES FRANCOIS (1818-1893)
(Goo-no). Born in Paris. Father, artist, died
when Gounod was five. Taught by mother. Won
Conservatory Prix de Rome, 1837. Became organ-
ist San Luigi Church; contemplated priesthood.
In 1850, when Mass became successful in England,
asked to write a work for Paris Academie Opera
"Sapho," 1851, a failure. Work unimportant until

WITH THE AMAZING
REESQNATOR
TRADE MARK
The REESONATOR is an instrument designed to balance the antenna
and to tune the coupling tube, which increases the volume and selectivity of
your machine. It will enable you to play with dance volume stations which
are barely audible or sometimes entirely inaudible without it. It will also
decrease battery consumption 30%, as you do not have to apply as much
power to obtain the desired results. It does not require tuning for every sta-
tion you receive; only when additional selectivity, power or distance is
required. It is attached externally to the machine, and can be attached by
anyone, without tools, in a minute. REESONATOR as illustrated is espe-
cially designed for Single Dial Atwater Kent Models 30, 32, 35, 37 and 38. Crosley, Bandbox,
Showbox and Jewelbox. All Radiola Single Dial Models; also Dayfan, Apex and similar
radios. On the above machines, the REESONATOR is connected in parallel between the
antenna and ground binding posts. State type of machine on which the REESONATOR is to-
be used when ordering. Equivalent to two extra tubes on your machine. The REESONATOR
is- an instrument of beauty, made up in a rich, highly polished mahogany brown color.
What Some of Our Users Say
TESTIMONIALS
Gentlemen : We wish to inform
you that the REESONATOR we pur-
chased from you some time ago is
meeting with our highest expecta-
tions. We have found it of much
value in aiding reception, increasing
volume, clearness of tone, and ena-
bling us to get stations which we
otherwise could not hear. We have
found it to he well worth the price.
Yours truly, N. N. Fisher,
Janesville, Wis.
Gentlemen: Last month I bought
one of your EEESONATORS and I
rind it to be just as you said. Now,
I have no trouble in bringing in far
stations, and it cuts through inter-
ference gojd. It makes a big im-
provement to my set.

Dear Sirs: I have received and
placed in operation one of your
REESONATORS on my 35 set
and I am more than pleased with the
success of same. My set now uses
about one-third less power than for-
merly and at the same time I am
able to get and separate stations
that I was absolutely unable to hear
before the REESONATOR was in-
stalled.
By E. J. Young
Greensburg, Pa.
Gentlemen: After a thorough test with the REESONATOR, I now undertake to write you what
I think of it; marvelous, -wonderful! It does just as you stated. My power and volume have doubled
themselves on all stations, and I can get distance more clearly and with stronger volume. I operate
and own a VIII with your REESONATOR. I would not part with it for many times its value.
Thank you. — James H. Dowe.

Masters Better Known
(Continued from page 121)
1859, when masterpiece, "Faust," appeared, most
famous of all operas — given 1,500 times in Paris
alone.
GLUCK, CHRISTOPH WILLIBALD (Glook).
(Weidenwang, Upper Palatinate, 1714; D. Vienna,
1787.) Studied music at Prague and later in Italy.
Encouraged by Marie Antoinette in Paris, he in-
augurated much needed reforms in opera agarhst
violent opposition. One of the earliest and most
renowned of dramatic composers. His two great-
est operas, "Orfeo" and "Armide," produced
respectively in the years 1762 and 1777, are still
to be found among the mainstays of the modern
repertory and are given by critical opinion a
high place among the greatest masterpieces of
operatic writing. The simplicity and grandeur
of Gluck's style have seldom been approached.
GRANADOS, ENRIQUE (1869-1916). Composer.
The hopes of Spain for a great national composer
were built largely upon Granados, who, with his
wife, was drowned upon an ocean journey in 1916,
shortly after his opera, "Goyescas," was given
in New York. He wrote many brilliant works
for the piano.
GRIEG, EDVARD HAGERUP (1843-1907)
(Greeg). Born Bergen, Norway, 1843. At 6 began
musical education under his mother. At the age
of 15 was sent to Leipsic Conservatory. Returned
to Norway, 1863, and began writing the original
and spontaneous music which was to make him
famous. Grieg really founded a new school of
Scandinavian music. His short piano pieces are
charming works of their class and his numerous
songs full of poetic feeling. The Peer Gynt Suite,
written for Ibsen's dramatic poem, "Peer Gynt,"
is pehaps the best known of all his compositions.
Grieg died September 4, 1907.
HANDEL, GEORGE FRIEDRICH (1685-1759).
Born Halle, 1685. Father a barber, afterwards
valet to Prince Saxe. Intended for law, studied
harpsichord secretly. Visited Court at 7. Heard
playing organ by Prince, who offered to educate
him. Went to Berlin in 1698, precocity astonish-
ing all. Entered Halle University, organist at
$50 a year. Wrote two operas, 1705, at Hamburg.
Visited Italy, then England, where he settled,
1718. Wrote first English opera, "Rinaldo." Di-
rector Royal English Academy Music, 1720, pro-
duaing many operas. British subject, 1726. Par-
alysis, 1737, induced by opera worries. Turned
to oratorio, 1737. "Messiah," greatest of oratorios,
1742. Almost blind, 1752, worked till death, 1759.
Burled in Westminster Abbey. Wrote 40 operas;
none now performed.
HAYDN, FRANZ JOSEF (High-dn). Born
Rohrau, Austria, 1732. At 5 years of age was sent
to school at Hainburg, where for two years he was
taught rudiments of music, playing on the vio-
lin. 1740 taken to Vienna by Reutter as chorister
at St. Stephen's, where he learned singing, violin,
clavier and composed a great deal. Later sup-
planted as singer by brother Michael. Became
first capellmeister to Prince Esterhazy. Com-
posed 30 symphonies, 40 quartets and became
known and admired all over Europe. 1791 visited
London and received degree from Oxford. 1792
returned to Vienna, where he gave lessons to
Beethoven. Died Vienna; 1809.
HERBERT, VICTOR. This famous director was
born in Dublin in 1859, and at the age of seven
was sent to Stuttgart as a student of the 'cello.
After some years' study and a tour of Europe,
he accepted the position of solo 'cellist in the
orchestra at the Metropolitan Opera in 1886. A
more brilliant career as conductor became pos-
sible and, after having been bandmaster of the
Twenty-Second Regiment Band and conductor of
the Pittsburgh Symphony Orche=tra, Mr. Herbert
organized in 1904 the Victor Herbert Orchestra,
which has had a most successful career. All this
time Mr. Herbert continued to compose operas,
writing more than 25, including two grand operas.
. Mr. Herbert's great fame as a composer of
operas has somewhat obscured the fact that he
is a gifted 'cello virtuoso, and when but a young
man held the position of first 'cellist in the Stutt-
gart Court Orchestra..
LEONCAVALLO, RUGGIERO. Born Naples,
1858; died Rome, August, 1919. One of the leaders
of the so-called "Young Italian" school. He
wrote many operas; but his fame rests almost
entirely upon "I Pagliacci," which was first pro-
duced in Milan, in 1892, and has since been a
favorite, especially with American audiences. In
1906 and again in 1913 he visited the United
States.
LISZT, FRANZ (List) (1811-1886). The great-
est piano virtuoso of his time.. His technique
as a pianist as well as a composer was colossal.
He was the Inventor of the symphonic poem. His
(Continued on next page)

greatest works are thirteen symphonic poems,
the "Dante" and "Faust" symphonies', two piano
concertos for orchestra, oratorios "Christus" and
"St. Elizabeth," several Masses, many songs and
last, but not least, the Hungarian Rhapsodies
for piano. Liszt wrote nearly four hundred com-
positions for piano which form a large part of
the repertoire of the modern concert pianist.
MACDOWELL, EDWARD (MacDowel) (1861-
1908). A musical genius which America has pro-
duced. Although his training in composition was
obtained principally in Europe, he never lost
his American expression. One of MacDowell's
early teachers was the great pianist, Theresa
Careno.
MacDowell was the head of the Music Depart-
ment of Columbia University. After his death
there was established in Peterborough the Mac-
Dowell Colony, where American musicians,
writers and artists may go and quietly work.
MacDowell wrote a remarkable suite for or-
chestra based on Indian themes.
MASSENET, JULES EMILE FREDERIC
(1842-1912) (Mahss-'n-nay). Jules Massenet, whose
death occurred in 1912, was one of the best known
of modern French composers. He was born in
Monteaux, near St. Etienne, in 1842, and num-
bered among his teachers Ambroise Thomas,
composer of "Mignon." At the age of twenty-one
he carried off the Grand Prix de Rome with his
cantata "David Rizzio." He composed prolifically
for the lyric stage, the orchestra, the voice and
the piano. His latest work, "Therese," was re-
cently produced at Monte Carlo. One of his most
popular operas is "Manon"; others are "Herodi-
ade," "Werther," "Le Cid" and "La Navarraise."
MENDELSSOHN, FELIX (Men-dl-sohn).
Born on February 3, 1809. His father was a Jew-
ish banker at Berlin. He received his first music
lessons from his mother — then Ludwig Berger
became his tutor for the piano, and Zelter, a
very learned theorist, for counterpoint. When
twelve years old he began to compose— wrote a
trio, some sonatas, a cantata and several organ
pieces. His home life was most favorable to his
musical development.
In 1824 Mendelssohn began to study under the
celebrated pianist, Moscheles, and he soon be-
came a mature musician. In 1826 he gave to
the world the overture "Midsummer Night's
Dream." Conducted the famous Gewandhaus
Chorus in Leipsic. He later married Cecile Jean-
renaud, the daughter of a clergyman. Completed
"Elijah," his greatest works, in Leipsic in 1846.
The dealh of his sister, Fanny Hensel, proved
such a great shock that it resulted in his death
at Leipsic in 1847.
MOZART, WOLFGANG (1756-1791) (Moh-
tsart). Born 1756, Salzburg. Son of musician and
teacher. When 4 could play piano, at 6 wrote
a concerto. Learned violin and traveled as a
prodigy. At 11 wrote an opera, never given. At
12 concertmeister of Salzburg church, and wrote
several Masses. When 13 went to Italy, where
the young genius astonished by his musical
knowledge. Was knighted by Pope. Produced
and conducted his opera "Mitridate," 1770. Re-
turned home, and in 1782 married Constance
Weber. Period of poverty followed, ended by
production in 1786 of "Marriage of Figaro." This
success followed by greatest work, "Don Gio-
vanni," in 1787. Other operas were "Cosi" and
"Titus," not successful. In spite of failing health
from overwork wrote "Magic Flute," produced
1791, and died some months later. Besides operas
wrote much sacred and chamber music, many
orchestral works, etc.
NEVIN, ETHELBERT (1862-1901). A popular
American composer. Was born in Pennsylvania in
1862. Studied piano and composition in Boston.
Then directed his atention to composing. Nearly
all his compositions are lyrical — both for voice
and the piano. His most famous composition is
"The Rosary," although he wrote a great num-
ber of songs that are now well known. His
lamentable early death occurred in 1901.
OFFENBACH, JACQUES (1819-1880). Known
as the originator of French burlesque opera, was
born in Cologne, the son of a Jewish cantor. In
1849 he became the director of the Theatre Fran-
cais, where many of his most popular operettas
were later produced. The exceeding cleverness
and animation of his music is everywhere rec-
ognized. His last and only really ambitious work,
"The Tales of Hoffmann," has been produced
many times of late in this country, and has
countless admirers.
PUCCINI, GIACOMO (Poo-chee-nee). One of
the most famous Italian composers of the Opera.
He was born in 1858. His operas are among the

most popular of the Italian repertoire at the
present time. Puccini died in 1924.
PONCHIELLI, AMILCARE (Pohn-kee-el-ee)
(1834-1886). Born in Cremona, Italy in 1834. He
was the composer of many works, the most
widely known being "La Gioconda," which he
composed in 1876. His death occurred in 1886.
RIMSKY-KORSAKOW, NICHOLAS (1844-
1908). Was one of the greatest masters of the
Russian School. In 1861 he became interested seri-
ously in his music. After a year's serious theo-
retical study he was ordered on a trip around the
world in the Russian navy. He composed during
this period a symphony which was the first work
in this form ever written by a Russian. Later, he
accepted the post of Director of the St. Peters-
burg Conservatory, a position he held until his
death. He resigned from the navy in 1873, but
still held the post of Inspector of Bands. The
greatest of his thirteen operas are "Sadko," "The
Snow Maiden" and "The Tsar's Bride."
ROSSINI, GIOACCHINO (Ros-see-nee). One of
the greatest of Italian opera composers. Born
Pesaro, Italy, 1792. Mother opera singer and
father musician. Studied piano from 7. At 15
went to Bologna Conservatory. When 16 wrote
cantata, and in 1810 an opera. During 1812 pro-
duced five light operas, and in 1813 first grand
opera, "Tancredi," a success; then "Italian in
Algiers." In 1816 produced his finest of comic
operas, "Barber of Seville." In next eight years
wrote twenty operas. Went to London, 1823, and
produced his works with success. Went to Paris,
managed Theatre Italien, producing his master-
piece, "William Tell." In 1832 wrote famous
"Stabat Mater." Last years spent quietly and
happily among devoted friends. Died in Paris-,
1868.
RUBINSTEIN, ANTON GREGOR (Roo-bin-
stine) (1830-1894). Was one of the greatest pian-
ists the world has ever known. Rubinstein wrote
many operas, for his chief wish was to be remem-
bered as a composer and he placed great hope
in the creation of what he called "Sacred Opera"
(oratorio to be enacted with costume and scen-
ery). In addition to this he produced many sym-
phonies, piano concertos, chamber music com-
positions and over one hundred songs, yet he
will live as a composer principally because of
his piano compositions. His piano works are
always melodious and of a simple, sincere beauty
that makes an immediate appeal.
SAINT-SAENS, CAMILLE (San Sah(h) (1835-
1921). A most important composer and dean
of the modern French School. Saint-Saens was
equally prominent as a pianist, organist, con-
ductor and composer.
His works include symphonies, piano, violin
compositions and a number of exquisite songs.
"Samson and Delilah" is considered his greatest
work. Saint-Saens possessed a rare gift of
melody and, although he rarely departed from

was the greatest of all song composers, and really

MSS. valued by Officials at $12.50 (!), but which
afterward made the fortune of several publishers.

Masters Better Known
(Continued from page 124)
R. F. and conductor Great Lakes Naval Band
during war. Composer of comic operas and
marches.
STRAUSS RICHARD, of Vienna, is undoubt-
edly one of the greatest musicians of today. He
has been called the dean of living composers.
For many years he has been the presiding musi-
cal genius of the Vienna opera.
His phenomenal creative powers, his genius
for interpretation so evident in his performance
in conducting the great Strauss Symphony Or-
chestra, sets him apart in that order of musical
geniuses which numbers only one or two in a
generation. It is remarkable that one man
should be endowed with so many talents, for
Richard Strauss, the conductor, is equally as
famous as Richard Strauss, the composer. He
has composed many very beautiful songs, and
contributed generously to different forms of
music — symphony, symphonic poem, song liter-
ature, opera.
When Strauss last toured the United States
with his great symphony orchestra he received
the highest honors that the American press and
public could bestow.
SULLIVAN, SIR ARTHUR SEYMOUR (1842-
1900). Celebrated British composer, of Irish par-
entage, best known to the world through his
inimitably clever and witty comic operas, written
in collaboration with W. S. Gilbert. The success
of practically all of these works has been un-
exampled in America and Great Britain. Many
of Sullivan's songs are also great favorites,
notably his "Lost Chord."
TCHAIKOVSKY, PETER ILYITCH (1840-
1893). The most distinguished of Russian com-
posers and the greatest representative of what is
known as the modern Russian school was trained
mostly, under Rubinstein in Petrograd; from
1866 to 1877 instructor of harmony in Conservatory
of Petrograd. Visited New York in 1891 at the
dedication of Carnegie Hall. Is known as one of
the greatest and most powerful of orchestral com-
posers; also wrote numerous operas, few of which
have been produced outside of his native land.
THOMAS, AMBROISE (1811-1896). Famous
French dramatic composer; gave to the world
numerous dramatic works, of which "Mignon"
has done most to perpetuate his name. "Ham-
let," "Le Caid" and "Raymond" have also had
their share of popularity.
VERDI, FORTUNIO GIUSEPPE FRANCESCO
(Vair-dee). Born 1813, near Roncole, Italy. Par-
ents, though poor inn-keepers, gave him spinet
lessons from parish organist. At 10 succeeded his
teacher at church organ. Boy became so popular
that village sent him to Milan for further study,
where director of Conservatory refused .scholar-
ship because of lack of talent ! (Many years
after, this same institution was renamed Cons,
di Giuseppi Verdi in Verdi's honor.) Then
studied with Lavigna, returning to Roncole to
marry Sirta Barezzi. Settled permanently in
Milan, 1836. Died in 1901.
WAGNER, RICHARD (Vahg-ner). Born Leip-
sic, 1813, son of city official. Father died, mother
married Geyer, actor, when Wagner was 6.
Family moved to Dresden, boy studied piano.
Profoundly affected hearing Weber's "Frei-
schutz." Composed string quartets, overture,
a symphony. Began opera "The Wedding," 1832,
unfinished. Directed Magdeburg Opera, 1834.
Married Mina Planer, actress. (Separated 1862,
marrying divorced wife of Hans Von Bulow.)
Conductor Riga, Russia, 1837, began "Rienzi."
Failed. Went England in small vessel, con-
ceiving idea "Tristan" and "Flying Dutchman"
during storms. Failed London, lived poor, ob-
scure in Paris. Wrote dance music. "Rienzi"
produced Dresden, 1842, through Meyerbeer.
"Flying Dutchman" followed. "Tannhauser,"
1845. Fled to Switzerland in revolution, 1849.
Began "Niebelungen Ring." Returned Germany,
1861. "Tristan" dropped as "unsi-gable" after
57 rehearsals. Vienna. Helped by King Ludwig
of Bavaria. Built Festival Theatre, Bayreuth,
1876. Last opera, "Parsifal," produced there
1882. Went to Italy for health, died there 1883.

Every cleaning minute shows
greater results
POSITIVE AGITATION
I here is a new exact meas-
ure of cleanliness for
floor coverings — the
amount of dirt removed
from rugs for every min-
ute of cleaning.
Here is the real test
of any cleaning method. And in
this test the Hoover has repeat-
edly proved its ability to remove
more dirt per minute.
"Positive Agitation" gives the
Hoover this greater dirt-per-
minute capacity. This sensational
cleaning principle beats out the
deepest-buried dirt from your
rugs. To this deep-beating are
added sweeping which removes
the lint, and suction which
gathers up the dirt from the sur-
face of the rug. Only in cleaners
made by The Hoover Company
are these three essentials of thor-
ough cleaning combined.
We shall be glad to demon-
strate in your home the Hoover's
ability to remove the most dirt
per minute. Phone your local
Hoover Dealer.

the simple but wonderful device, invented by Dr. J. Harris Rogers, — - —
eminent radio scientist, which has put the aerial out of date. Can
be installed in just a few minutes. Use it with any set.

'Loud and Clear Under All Conditions
with the Patented, Perfected
ROGERS
ANTENNA
Amazing results obtained. Even in mid-summer when static is worst — when
electric storms are raging — and in blizzardy winter weather — which conditions
make listening actually impossible with the aerial — this wonderful underground
antenna delivers DX in full force.
A Scientist's Invention that
Baffles the Weather by Using
Ground 'Waves
You get faulty reception now because
you are using aerial waves — the waves
that static most easily disturbs. Dr.
Rogers' invention utilizes ground
waves which are less affected by static.
That's the reason why the most par-
ticular radio fans are discarding their
aerials and using the Rogers Patented
Underground Antenna. They want
service all the time.
And here's another point — safety.
When you install the Rogers device,
you are through with roof climbing to
make repairs on an aerial. And you
get rid of the outside wire that in-
vites lightning to strike and which
would carry the current into the house.
No lightning danger when you have a
Rogers Underground Antenna — and
always loud, clear DX.
FREE TRIAL on Your Own Set
It costs you nothing to find out what Dr. Rog-
ers' invention will do for you. Install it (that
takes only a few minutes). Then compare re-
sults with those you get from your aerial. Make
the test under trying conditions. Switch from
one to the other. Then you will know. If you
don't find that the Rogers Underground Anten-
na is all we claim the test costs you nothing.

TWO GREAT SPECIALTY CARS — SOMETHING
NEW IN AUTOMOBILEDOM
Now Stutz brings to a climax another epoch in
the automobile industry.
When Stutz produced its revolutionizing eight-
cylinder overhead camshaft engine in 1926, it
made motor-car history. With it came the
worm drive and lowered center of gravity, also
the many new safety devices, including safety
glass, for which now Stutz is justly famed.
Today that valuable pioneer work reaches its
finest flowering in two re-
markable specialty cars.
An even greater Stutz — and
an entirely new car, the
Blackhawk !
And here are some of the re-
markable things they share in
common :
(1) Four speed transmission,
IT IS EASIER TO TIP OVER A PILLAR THAN A
PYRAMID. STUTZ WEICHT IS PYRAMIDED
which all truly modern automobiles must now
standardize.
(2) The "Noback," one of the greatest aids to
safety ever invented, by which back rolling on
inclines is automatically prevented.
(3) Gasoline pump, which operates under any
engine speed, insuring an absolutelyuniform gas-
oline supply at carburetor under all conditions.
(4) Positive de-celeration, perfectly controlled
speed to meet road-needs of
today.
(5) Safety, comfort, luxury,
expressed in bodies by
Weymann, Fleetwood and
Le Baron.
Two great specialty cars —
"most modern of them all"
—Stutz $3395 to $6895—
Blackhawk $2345 to $2955

ONE of our readers writes to the
Voice of the Listener that each
new issue of Radio Digest seems just
a little bit better than the last. This
gives us untold satisfaction because
that is just what we are striving for.
We hope fervently that our friend will
feel that we have kept the faith in
the production of this issue. We
have tried herein to make our longish
articles of more general interest than
heretofore. Mr. Archie Schonemann
assisted us very ably with the short
features and one special article on
Jazz vs. Old-Time Melodies, which
he signs. This article will interest
both pro and con for modern style.
* * *
STARTING at the very front we
ask you to especially note our
cover. It is a long step from the old
news print tabloid to a cover like
this. We would be interested to
know how our readers feel about this
four-color style cover. The subject
is Miss Coe Glade, a new opera star
who played for the first time this
year with the Chicago Civic Opera,
winning the particularly effective
role of Carmen. Mr. Roy F. Best,
whose covers have been seen on the
Saturday Evening Post and other
well-known magazines, is the artist
who made the pastel of Miss Glade.

NOT long ago we told you that
television was here in fact. The
article attracted some attention.
Many insisted that it still was con-
fined to the experimental laboratory.
C. Francis Jenkins, inventor of the
first motion picture projection ma-
chine, has applied his past experi-
ence along this line to the art of
Radio-vision, or television, and is
actually broadcasting moving scenes
to thousands of "lookers" — a name
that probably must come as the par-
allel of the "listener" — and in this
issue of Radio Digest he tells you all
about it. He gives you a glimpse of
future developments also.

AL JOLSON probably is the most
talked-about actor in America
today. And while he may not exactly
be classified as a Radio star it is the
microphone, the essential heart of
Radio, and developed to its present
efficiency by Radio, that has made it
possible for Jolson to acquire his
tremendous success. Gerald King,
former staff representative of Radio
Digest in California, now director of
the Warner Brothers broadcast sta-
tion. KFWB, has had opportunity to
watch Jolson work, talk to him and
observe the production of his famous
audiofilm, The Singing Fool. Mr.
King has written an intimate article
about the whole story from begin-

Radio Can Solve Problem
FROM time to time some multimillionaire arises and
offers a vast sum of money to the individual who
will submit the most feasible "solution to the prohibi-
tion problem." The people make their own laws in
the United States. Sometimes they change their
minds, and when they do they indicate it at the ballot
box. It would seem from the last general election the
great majority still believe that they were right the
first time. In a republic the majority rules. So it
appears there could be no serious question of right
or wrong concerning prohibition. The agitation seems
to be mainly on the part of some of the metropolitan
newspaper publishers who like their liquor and dislike
the round-about way it takes to get it. They print
venomous cartoons and construe every possible crime
as being the consequence of prohibition. They call
authorized government police officials "dry snoopers
and gun men." They plead the cause of the bootlegger
and clamor for the blood of the law-enforcing agent.
They even assail and belittle the members of congress
for acting according to the expressed wishes of their
constituents. When they find their own lobbies balked
by counter lobbies of watchful citizens they writhe and
froth with hatred. That is the prohibition problem as
it really exists.
The solution of this problem, in the main, consists
of counter publicity. Very few papers have the cour-
age to take an opposite point of view. But there is one
medium of publicity that is even more potent than the
newspaper. That medium is Radio. In every locality
there are good stalwart patriots who have the respect
of their fellow citizens. Let such men come forward
to the defense of their country. Let them step up to
the microphone of the local broadcasting station and
reverse the guns of malice, misrepresentation and
deliberate falsehood propagated by the alcoholic news-
papers. Let them analyze every perverted fact with
the white light of truth. The majority of the people
are always right. The majority of the minority are
sincere in their desire to do right and act right. The
really vicious are, after all, only a very small minority.
Integrity, honor and truth over the air and into the
home will be effective in exposing the ulterior motives
of the bleary press. Exposed and weakened, this
strongest salient of the bootlegger's front will diminish
in effectiveness. The violator of the Volstead law,
lacking the connivance of a trustworthy newspaper,
will sink to the same level as the trafficker in contra-
band. A crime will be a crime without a halo. Who
wants to be a crook? Radio can solve the problem.
Programs Deluxe for All
THOSE who have been peering into the future,
touching the tender growing things that are soon
to bear fruit, tell us in this issue that soon our greatly
improved Radio program will be designed with all the
elaborate care of a modern photoplay production. It
will be a tangible commodity that can be put in a box
and sent to China, if necessary. New processes, new
inventions and new media make it possible to work out
a program on a specially designed film or heavy wax
disc. The "scenes" are shot, studied and re-taken if
not up to the desired quality. Enough material may be
taken to keep a broadcasting station going constantly
for a week, but through eliminating, revision and
assembling the supreme essence is put into one eve-
ning's program that will be as near perfect as human
genius can make it. Then from the master "negative",
will come the prints for the stations.
The little station will have the same chance as the
big station. The competition will be in the ability to
produce the most attractive programs with most
famous artists. Toll lines will be used only for news
events.
With all this in prospect up bobs the horny head of
the little old music racketeer. Following is an article
that appeared on the first page of the Chicago Herald
and Examiner of February 21, 1929 :
"Operators of phonographs or other mechanical
devices for producing music in Radio broadcasting sta-
tions, on and after March 1, must be members of the
Chicago Federation of Musicians, according to an edict
issued yesterday by President James C. Petrillo.
"About twenty-nine stations will be affected. Should
they refuse to comply, Mr. Petrillo said, a strike of
orchestras would be called.
"While no musical knowledge or training is neces-
sary for the operation of the phonograph, a salary of
from $90 to $115 a week, depending on the hours
worked, must be paid to the person who changes the
disks or turns the crank. The salary is based on the
hours the phonograph is used."
England Gives U. S. a Program
In the early days before television became such a
by-word everybody was trying to pick up foreign sta-
tions. We don't hear so much about it lately, although
some of our best DX rangers are obtaining splendid
results. What a surprise, therefore, when on a winter
day not so very long ago we casually listened to an
English station sending us a program over the National
net! We are promised there will be more such pro-
grams in the near future. It comes by wire to the
seaside, leaps the Atlantic by short wave, scampers
over a phone to New York and spreads out on the net
— wonderful !
Static Conquered Once — Perhaps Again
YEARS ago in the early days of the motion picture,
there frequently appeared zig-zagging across the
screen little white flashes of forked lightning. This
was especially true in cold weather and was more
noticeable in the news films than in the photoplay pro-
ductions. The little flashes were indeed a form of
lightning. It was our old enemy, Static. Millions of
dollars were lost in moving picture film because of
static generated in the camera by the whirring sensi-
tized film slipping through the velvet light traps. Then
came specially coated film and other devices to elim-
inate static. Today one rarely sees evidence of static
in motion pictures. And perhaps static that still inter-
feres a great deal with Radio transmission will be
conquered by science in a similar way. One writer
recently described the action that takes place as a flow
of negative electrons up through the ground wire, the
set and antenna. When lightning occurs there is a
discharge of these negative electrons that causes a
crash in the receiver. Now that they have the problem
analyzed, perhaps we can expect someone to find a way
of meeting the conditions that will eliminate the crash.

YOU MAY have met Guy Lombardo and his
Royal Canadians while they were presenting
one of their programs from WBBM and WJBT.
Here is Guy himself, the tzventy-five-year-old
director of the orchestra, and the personality
back of the organization. He was born and
raised in Canada, plays the violin, knows what
Radio fans zvant in music, and is1 a popular
entertainer on the air as well as in the cafes
and on the concert stage.
^ombardo Started Band Young
^irst Professional Appearance Made Before
Meeting of Mother s Club in London, Ontario, in 1918
MORE THAN a decade ago, a boy in long pants, with
a brown shirt and bow tie, presented his orchestra
at a meeting of the Mothers' club in London, Ont.
There was nothing significant in the fact that his
orchestra consisted of three boys, and should have properly
been called a trio. Further, there was little other than passing
interest in the program presented by this juvenile band.
The fact remains, however, that the lad of fifteen years had
his own ideas relative to presenting numbers, and he possessed
enough personality to instill considerable enthusiasm not only
in his fellow musicians, but the mothers who composed his
audience.
All of which is of special interest in considering Guy Lom-
bardo and his Royal Canadians. Anything or anybody attain-
ing eminence in the world invariably has a beginning that
transcribed to the printed word makes interesting reading, and
such is the case of Lombardo and the organization he has
built up in ten years.
The Royal Canadians have a fol-
lowing in and near Chicago, and the
elements that have brought about
their success include the personality
of Guy Lombardo, the director of the
band, and the fact that his men pro-
vide slow, hot and sweet music for
the dance fans.
CHICAGO has its musical sensa-
tions every now and then. It
has fostered, encouraged and sort of
taken to its heart Lombardo and his
Royal Canadians. This band came to
Chicago September 1, 1937, and be-
came just one of a great number of
orchestras that provide programs
nightly for the thousands of dance
fans who inhabit the city.
In less than a year Lombardo and
his Canadians started on a nation-
wide summer tour which carried
them to every part of the United
States. This gave them added pres-
tige in the field of popular music
dispensers. Fact is that the Royal
Canadians have become an estab-
lished institution in this country, and
the reputation they have made in
Chicago is being carried to the four corners.
The Lombardo Radio programs broadcast from Stations
WBBM and WJBT became the most popular in the middle
west, according to the officials of these stations and this fact
was substantiated by the tremendous influx of telegrams that
were received nightly.
Their fan mail numbered as many as 500 telegrams nightly
and they were delivered within a period of two or three
hours prior to one of Lombardo's Radio request programs.
THE GRANADA Cafe rose from south side obscurity to
become the real center of Chicago night life, and the
acknowledged leader of the city's night clubs. Lombardo's
Columbia records advanced to among the best sellers.
Every theater and hotel manager, agent, society function
chairman and cafe owner from miles around, made a beaten
path to Lombardo's door, bombarding the orchestra with
price offers that were beyond the wildest dreams of the lad
of fifteen who made his first professional appearance before
a Mothers' club meeting in London, Ontario, ten years ago,
as the director of an orchestra of three pieces — including
himself.
There are three Lombardo brothers in the orchestra. Guy,
the leader, is the eldest, and famous at the age of 25. Guy is
an artist on the violin. Lebert is the sparkling cornetist of
the orchestra. He doubles on the drums and trumpet. Car-
men, the youngest, is a clever saxophonist, singer and com-
poser. Carmen is usually heard in the vocal chorus of the
Columbia records made by the Royal Canadians, and is the
author of several popular songs, including A Lane in Spain,
Coquette, I Dreamed You Kissed Me, and Rosette.
All three of the Lombardo boys (and all the rest of the
orchestra except one American, who has been added in the
last year) were born in London, Ontario, Canada', and that
little city saw the youthful and very modest beginnings of
A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD mu-
■/jL steal enthusiast with his own
three-piece orchestra — all of 'teen
age — gave his first concert in 1918,
in London, Ontario. Later he and
his fellow musicians gave pro-
grams for invalided Canadian soldiers
and charitable affairs. Then vaude-
ville beckoned, and engagements in
Cleveland and Chicago followed, with
the usual round of presentations at
Stations WBBM and WJBT. A
nation-wide tour was the climax.
Briefly, that is the story of Guy Lom-
bardo and his Royal Canadians.
Their music has been described as
"slow, hot and sweet."
the Royal Canadians orchestra. It began, as previously men-
tioned, as a three-piece combination — Guy on the violin, Car-
men on the flute, and Fred Kreitzer on the piano. Kreitzer is
still the pianist of the orchestra. Lebert later joined as a
drummer.
The boys began entertaining invalided soldiers and playing
at charity affairs. They added another musician or so to
their unit from time to time, quickly acquired local fame, and
before long embarked on a successful tour of Canada.
IN 1923, the Lombardos came to the United States for a
six months' vaudeville tour. They were signed afterwards
by the Claremont, in Cleveland, and played at that restaurant
during 1924, beginning the broadcasting over WTAM that
built them the reputation of being the greatest Radio enter-
tainers in the nation. From the Claremont they went to the
Music Box at Cleveland, where they remained two years.
Later came the historic ten months'
run in Chicago, which was only ter-
minated when they went on a sum-
mer tour of the United States under
the management of the Music Cor-
poration of America. They were
contracted to return to Chicago in
September of last year.
This orchestra of ten men has the
unusual record of but one change in
its personnel in five years. The or-
chestra works as a unit instead of
featuring individual performers, al-
though every man is an entertainer
and their repertory includes novel-
ties, singing in solo, duet, trio and
harmony.
Variety, a theatrical magazine,
pointed out last year that "Guy Lom-
bardo and his Royal Canadians have
become the most popular cafe orches-
tra in the city within a few months.
Their music is exactly what Chicago
wants — slow, hot and sweet, with
well-spaced intervals of peppery stuff
to bring a slight trace of dew to the
forehead. Concentrating on this ver-
sion of modern dance music, the
Canadians have developed it to a
point far beyond the immediate
increasing Radio rep, the Canadians are catering to the mike
in their broadcast periods. Their music gets softer, the unique
vocalizing is done almost in whispers with small megaphones
turned upwards, and numerous other concessions are made
to acquire perfect etherization. The guitar player, for instance,
climbed upon a chair to let the mike catch a solo break of
exactly four notes — and the dancers seemed to enjoy the idea."
AND THAT isn't all, for Lombardo's orchestra has attained
the success it enjoys because it is a band wherein team-
work is given first consideration. Most of its members can
star as soloists, but the work of the unit is given prestige over
that of individual effort.
The Royal Canadians have built up a reputation through
their desire to play dance numbers in such a manner that
the public will constantly cry, "More, more, more." They
have presented a series of programs that are a delight to the
ears and satisfy the feet of the most analytical dancer.
The Royal Canadians inject novelty into their work:
the idea of something new and highly diverting has been
carried out in their presentations, and Lombardo's boys can
always be relied on to have something different in the way of
musical interpretations for the dance fans who have followed
them during the months they have been featured in Chicago.
Radio enthusiasts have found unusual joy and pleasure
in listening to the programs of Guy Lombardo and his Royal
Canadians because they have sensed the likes and dislikes of
the Radio public, and they are ever alert to play up to an audi-
ence rather to have their work be of the ordinary and self-
satisfied kind.
There is snap and fire to their fox trots, and their waltzes
have that dreamy and tantalizing swing that appeals to the
dancing public. By injecting novelty features and a variety
of unique Meas of presentation, Lombardo and his Royal
Canadians have established themselves as Radio favorites.
s Al Jolson
Sidelights on Career of
As "Singing Fool," Jolson
shows he can do a Fandango.
Mi?. KING, author of this' article, was
formerly staff representative of
Radio Digest on the Pacific Coast. He
resigned to become director of the Warner
Brothers' broadcasting studio, KFWB.
There he met Jolson and watched him
work through to the completion of The
Singing Fool.
ONE of the most difficult assign-
ments for an interviewer is to get
a story on a world-famous per-
sonality that is a little different
from the ordinary run of stories dished
up day after day for a public that de-
mands news about its heroes and favorites,
a story that can show a new angle, a new
interest or a different twist on an old
story that everyone knows.
More particularly, it is tough to write
something about Al Jolson, for years
known as the "world's greatest enter-
tainer" and who, since contracting with
Warner Bros, to make talking-singing
has had the facilities of a world-wide publicity
service to make his every act and deed known.
Stars of the silver-screen have no private life.
Their daily actions, thoughts, their homes and
even down to the well-being of a favorite pet is
news that is chronicled throughout the world. If
Jolson goes to a dentist, for example, that is
news because the loss of a bicuspid might inter-
fere with his rendition of "Sonny Boy" or put a
lisping inflection into his voice that might render
it useless for the talkies. And the whole world
is interested in this new and latest development
of the erstwhile silent screen.
But the request came clicking over the wire one day from Radio Digest's
editor for a different story on Jolson, and although it came just at a time &
when new transcontinental network programs were upsetting our
schedules at KFWB, with a temperamental program director tearing his
hair about them, the commercial manager trying to adjust local accounts
to fit in, the building of a new studio and the removal of our transmitter
from its hallowed location of four years, Tequests
from editors are in the nature of commands and
must be obeyed. A rainy Sunday afternoon (yes,
it does rain occasionally in California in the win-
tertime) furnishes the opportunity to think back over this romantic
story of Vitaphone. But, I hear a reader saying: "Isn't this to be a
story about Al Jolson?" It is, my children, but this story of Al Jolson
is a story of Al Jolson and the talking pictures and the two must be
told together.
Several years ago, the Bell Telephone Laboratories, that great
experimental section of the telephone company, began to make a
scientific investigation of the possibilities of synchronizing sound and
speech with a motion picture, a dream that had lacked fulfillment since
the very first days of the leaping celluloid and a problem that had
engaged the attention, among many others, of Thomas Edison. Emi-
nently fitted for this research work was this great laboratory. Sound
is the basis of the telephone company's life and transmission of sound

In 1925 the experiments had advanced to a stage where the American
Telephone and Telegraph
Company invited whom they
considered the leading busi-
ness head of the largest mo-
tion _ picture company to a
preview of a synchronized
talking motion picture. It is
reported that this man after
viewing the laboratory's fore-
runner of our present-day
talkie said that the thing had
possibilities but that he could
not use it until it was per-
fected. Other interviews and
other showings followed. No
company could be found that
was interested. The telephone
company ordered the talking
picture idea be shelved for
a while.
Meanwhile, on the Pacific
Coast came word of the ex-
perimental talking picture.

His Greate
Greatest Theatrical Success
JCifigr founded the company and had battled with the
© disasters that usually overtake independent pro-
ducers until their company was on a sound basis,
although not comparable in size to the larger com-
panies. One reason for their success, however, had been the policy to
try anything that held the remotest promise of better method in the
production of film plays.
Hearing of this possible talking picture the New York office was asked
if they had heard and seen it. They had not but Harry Warner, presi-
dent of the company, and his brother, Sam, made arrangements for a
viewing. They saw and they were conquered.
Sam Warner was enthralled with the possibilities of the device. It
was crude, it was not practical according to film usage and production,
but the words the players spoke and the sounds that came through a loud-
speaker synchronised perfectly with the movement of their lips.
From that day on Sam Warner talked of talking pictures day and night
and dreamed of them after going to bed. So contagious was his
enthusiasm that he convinced the more sceptical officers of the company
and Warner Bros, decided to take one of the biggest gambles in the
history of films — to stake practically their all on the future of the
talking picture.
The difficulties to overcome were
enormous. Not only must talking
films, or at least plays with sound
effects, be produced, which
required an initial outlay of
several millions of dollars,
but then there would be no
market for them until theaters
were equipped to handle the
sound part and this required
an investment of from $7,500
to $20,000 on the theater own-
ers' part. Theater owners
who were interviewed said
the scheme was crazy and
that they never would install
the necessary equipment to
show the pictures even if they
were produced.
Realizing all
this, Warner Bros,
went ahead with
their plans. In
New York they

/T WAS as a blackface
minstrel that Al Jol-
son first achieved fame.
He became known as the
Great Mammy Man,
for his heart-touching
mammy songs. Although
he commands a packed
house wherever he goes,
the audible pictures mul-
tiply his audiences thou-
sands of times.
Warner started his experiments to per-
fect the device to a point where it would
be practical and could be used with
ordinary film and pictures. Months
passed and the picture world, that had
laughed when it was announced that
Warner Bros, were to market a sound
film under the trade name of Vitaphone,
nearly forgot the existence of it.
Then, in the fall of the year following,
came another announcement that got
attention in every film office and theater
throughout the country. Sid Grauman,
considered one of the most astute show-
men of the country, whose Egyptian
Theater in Hollywood was the first of
the atmospheric film playhouses, the
man who introduced to the picture the-
ater the prologue idea, advertised a
world premiere of a new kind of picture.
It was John Barrymore in "Don Juan,"
and the wily Grauman further amplified
his statement by adding that he had
done away with his usual prologue on
the stage and would present instead, by
means of Vitaphone, Al Jolson, the
world's greatest entertainer. Not only that but during the
showing of the picture no great orchestra would play in the
pit but the picture itself carried a synchronized Vitaphone
accompaniment by Henry Hadley and the New York Philhar-
monic orchestra.
Grauman's first nights are a tradition, but the opening of
"Don Juan" made Hollywood history. Every film executive
and craftsman that could get into the theater was there for the
premiere performance. They saw "Don Juan" and they heard
Henry Hadley and the great orchestra that he leads. But
above all they saw and heard and chuckled with Al Jolson as
the great entertainer sang his songs and pulled off a few
wisecracks.

Open Letter
from Jessica ^Jjragonette to G\Jou
MISS JESSICA DRAGONETTE, prima donna of the National
Broadcasting company, has kindly taken her pen in hand to
give you a few intimate personal impressions. It's so sincere and
youthful you will enjoy it.
"DEAR RADIO FRIENDS:
"The Radio Digest has asked me to
tell you about my Radio career, the thrills of my first broadcast,
and my advice to young artists ambitious for Radio careers. I
a mdeeply touched, but frankly it seems so silly for me to talk
about myself, and as for giving advice, I am so constantly oc-
cupied with studying out my own career that it never occurred
to me that anything I might say could be of any value to others.
"I should so much rather take this
opportunity to greet you all; to
thank you for your wonderful en-
couragement which is my inspira-
tion and, above all, to thank you for
thinks I should engage a secretary to take care of my
mail, but I cannot think of it. Somehow I feel it would be
an insult to allow other hands than my own to answer your
letters or send my picture when you ask for it.
"But I forget myself — Radio Digest has asked me about
my first appearance before the microphone. Well, it happened
by the sheerest chance two years ago. Two years is actually
not a long time, but in Radio it is almost ancient history.
Things move so quickly; new thoughts, new methods, new
discoveries, new wonders emerge every day. It is an industry
in the making, and how fascinating it is to be part of it!
"I was not thrilled at my first microphone appearance. I
didn't like it at all. I experienced great nervousness and
was conscious of an immense distrac-
tion that I can best describe if I
tell you that I had the sensation of
being pulled in all directions at once.
of applause
the beautiful welcome to your fire-
sides. For I really sing in your
homes, and it is that compelling fact
which your letters reveal to me that
keeps me disinterested in any other
kind of career.
"Of course flattering offers come,
and they delight me beyond measure— I am so feminine. But,
look! Heres a letter from a dear old lady in Atlanta who
never misses me; one from a big chap in Minnesota who is
practically confined to his room; here's another from a couple
in California who always call me 'their Jessica,' and now a
delicious, tiny girl from New Orleans who says, 'Please send
me two pictures of you and tell me all about your social
and musical life.
"Ts ANY flattering offer worth leaving these dear friends?
A No, nothing could compensate their loss. I agree with Con-
rad that 'something human is dearer to me than all the
treasures of India.'
"My Radio work with the National Broadcasting com-
pany does keep me busy. I sing to you only a few hours
each week, but most all my time is spent in preparation for
our fireside visits. There are rehearsals, singing lessons,
dramatic lessons (I still study, you know, that's why I felt
so funny when the Radio Digest asked me for my advice to
young artists) and hours spent arranging my programs. It's
no easy matter to find new songs each week that I like to
sing and that you like to hear her sing. My very efficient sister

after the performance, appalled me.
I wanted to run away and never come
back.
"Several days passed with no word
from the station. I was convinced
I was a total failure, and was more
than ever inclined to agree with my
friends that I had taken a false step. Oh, I was a hopeless
failure !
"Then a small packet of letters was forwarded to me. I
was thrilled. The relief to know that you actually heard
me and felt me. I understood then the distraction I had felt
was no distraction at all, but rather the concentration of
your thoughts centered on my song. I had not been attuned
to you.
ii \ FTER that I determined to study this microphone, this
X3L silvery, elusive star-shaped instrument that first opened
your doors to me. I ha«d to know its secrets, I wanted your
doors always open to me.
"I learned that sincerity is the first requisite; that color
of voice is all important. I found that the microphone loves
beautiful and gentle tones; a maximum of quality, with a
minimum of quantity; that effects are rather a question of
tempo than dynamics; that great concentration is required
to put genuine feeling across; that the voice is compressed,
then released with perfect control and direction, like press-
ing down music and giving the essence, the perfume instead
of flowers.

"Jessica would have been equally successful as a concert,
operatic or light opera star," said Miss Liebling. "She has the
ability to project herself into any scene, and an instinctive
sense of style. Also, she is a very fine linguist, and this brings
her close to her Radio audience. Miss Dragonette also is
possessed of that quality that is known as charm."
Jessica combined her songs with those of other popular
groups of the air when she was heard as guest star of the

"Now, when the announcer calls: 'Five minutes — three
minutes — two minutes — stand by!' I feel an immense thrill
as I stand before the microphone collecting myself, and think-
ing personally of you. Every atom of my being is alive and
sensitive. I am keen and tingling, ready for the performance,
for that is the way I speak to you.
"Radio to me is the greatest industry of the age; we realize
time and space. The world is our stage, and the hearth of each
individual is our audience. I like to think of you working
with your hands, listening to me and singing with me — our
song making a singing world.
"Radio's intimacy and subtlety appeal to me. I merely
suggest and you fill the picture each in your own way.
It is amusing, the picture some of you form of me. You think
of me as tall, dark and fat! I am even addressed as 'Madame'
— imagine! If you could see. me ducking under the arms of
the tall tenors while the production manager adjusts the
microphone to its lowest position for me, you would be
amused, too.
"You ask in your letters: 'How do you do it?' It is no
secret. I work hard, of course, but that, I believe, is the secret
of any success. Work, work and then more work. The great
truth back of Radio is that the voice is the most powerful
medium that we have. Radio has proved that the voice depicts
the personality far more than the visible appearance. It is
as possible for us to build up our ideas with the ears as it
ever was with the eyes. This has always been true, but per-
haps we never realized it before. Women who have gone
down in history as beauties were often not beauties at all.
It has been the same with our great actresses. What was
Sarah Bernhardt but a voice? And often voices have not
even been charming. They have indicated some human quality
which people could come to love. The voice, rather than your
blue eyes, your brown hair and the way your wear your
clothes, can tell all that you are.
"I hope I haven't wearied you with this long letter, and I
trust I have answered some of the questions the editor of the
Radio Digest asked.
"It's been so nice to chat with you, and I am grateful for
this precious opportunity."
Faithfully yours,
JESSICA DRAGONETTE.
AND isn't that just the kind of a letter you would imagine
this modest little lady would write? Her vitality, her
intenseness and her real sincerity of feeling are revealed in
this too brief a letter. Imagine the pride of her instructors!
Miss Liebling, her teacher, talks enthusiastically about her
pupil. In her apartment where Galli-Curci, Frieda Hempel
and other singers of world fame have congregated, Miss
Liebling referred to the rapid rise of Jessica Dragonette.
The teacher soon recognized the girl's remarkable talent
and offered, her every encouragement. She worked with and
for her devotedly. Is it any wonder that Jessica has in her
heart such a glowing affection for Miss Liebling?

His Ideas of How They
P\A..AVlzMo(ith
IRST proofs of this issue of Radio Digest were
forwarded to Senor Xavier Cugat of Hollywood,
Cal., for his characteristic comment in black and
white. The results of his observations are before you.
You will find herein an interesting story referring
to Paul Whiteman by Mr. Archie Schonemann, who
has been writing about music and musicians for a
score of years. On other pages can be found an
article about Merlin H. Aylesworth, the writer being
Gene Mulholland. Gerald King has told the story of
Al Jolson on other pages and Sophie Tucker's picture
can be found in the picture album.
Mr. Whiteman's heavy jowls and facial expanse is
only exceeded by the expanse of his vest and waist
coat. Paul once was a violinist; now he plays all
instruments through a brilliant arranger, Ferdie Grofe.
Colorado gave Paul Whiteman to the world; California neglected him,
and now the whole world has accepted him. Every year Whiteman
becomes bigger — not exactly physically — but in a musical way, and he. is
probably the foremost and best known international exponent of syn-
copated music.
Then Senor Cugat offers us a sketch of Merlin H. Aylesworth, President
of the National Broadcasting company, familiarly and generally known as
"Deac" Aylesworth, and chief of the NBC net. "Deac" is a Hawkeye; he
was born in Cedar Rapids, migrated to the West, and now, with two score
years back of him he presides over the destinies of a great broadcasting
chain. Not very big, physically, is
"Deac," but a tremendous fellow just
the same.

wit and satire. Sophie Tucker has admirers
everywhere she goes, and all Al Jolson has to
do is to sing a mammy song, roll his eyes
heavenward and traffic becomes paralyzed.
Sophie and Al have gone into the talkies, and
where they have delighted thousands in the past,
it is safe to presume that millions will ex-
perience the thrill from hearing their
voices and derive joy and pleasure from
their reparatee. The hit that Al Jolson
has scored in the talkies, will probably
be duplicated by Sophie, for in many
respects she is like Jolson. Senor Cugat
has brought out with striking effect the
Jolson eyes, the pretentious white col-
lar, the indifferent string tie, and those
hands of Al's which seem to wave ma-
jestically and even musically as he sings.
If you, dear reader, have not met Paul
Whiteman and his band you have missed
a thrill in life. Indirectly you have be-
come acquainted with Mr. Aylesworth

entations of NBC, for he is the

The Panther Mine Syncopators gave him the air and a startled world wondered how far down
they had reached.
Pit of
JAZZ, the unruly musical child of the present day who is
constantly smashing tradition, violating the old rules
covering tempo and tone values and ever alert to kick
over what is considered conventional, has tippled over
the applecart.
At various times jazz has been up in the air, down in the
mouth, out of sorts, and kicking up a fuss. Now the truth
has come to light and jazz has talked up from a coal mine,
sending up to the world the same old, haunting, tantalizing
strains that have resulted in this form of music being gen-
erally dubbed as American.
The truth about the broadcast from the West End Number
Four mine of the Panther Creek, Inc., has been revealed. It
was sponsored by Station WCBS of Springfield, 111., right
from the heart of the Illinois coal belt.
C. H. Messter, director of WCBS, which has its studio in
the St. Nicholas hotel, was responsible for the novel stunt
whereby a jazz band talked in tones of syncopation from a
studio set up 200 feet below the surface of the earth.
The boss room of the mine, located near the main shaft,
was fitted up for a studio. The orchestra, Radio station offi-
cials, employes of the mine, photographers and newspaper
representatives crowded into the cages and descended to the
improvised studio.
Old-time miners stood in awe; a white mule — one of the
four-legged kind — deliberately wigwagged his ears in won-
derment, and the party from the land of clear skies, growing
trees and blooming flowers stood huddled together in won-
derment.
The studio was whitewashed. Within it were a piano,
chairs, desk and other furnishings. Prior to the broadcast
the party from WCBS enjoyed a sight-seeing tour of the
mine, during which time they inspected the equipment and
studied actual mine operation below the surface of the earth.
Director Messter of WCBS, garbed in white overalls, blue
jimiper and a miner's cap, presided during the presentation of
the novel program. He announced the musical numbers, elab-

his eyes.
The orchestra was honored with the title, Panther
Creek miners. It was costumed in overalls, caps
and jumpers. The members of the orchestra were as follows:
Pete Bohnhorst, first violin; Emmet Gore, second violin; Betty
Rieffler, piano; John Stewart, 'cellist, and Henry Leeder, bass
viol.
A thoroughly underground flavor was given to the program
as a result of the appearance of Harry Marshall, the Singing
Scotchman, who presented a group of songs. Marshall indi-
cated he was at home in any mine, having had considerable
experience in South African gold mines, some of which, he
said, are 8,000 feet deep.
The program of popular music consisted of ten numbers,
and both the masters and popular writers were represented on
the air. That the program offered was a success is evident
from the countless letters received from fans throughout the
middle west.
Director Messter worked out the details of the broadcast
with representatives of Panther Creek, Inc., and the pro-
gram which extended over an hour was carried to points hun-
dreds of miles away from the station.
The entire broadcast was as much a novelty to the Radio
artists as it was to the fans who picked up the program. For
many members of Director Messter's staff the descent to the
depths of a coal mine, and the subsequent trips about the pit,
were as interesting as the broadcast was to the fans of the air.
It is believed the broadcast from the mine was the first
ever given by a Radio station, and a remembrance of the
event has been preserved for posterity by a series of pictures
which included a white mule, the orchestra, WCBS staff and
a group picture of the entire party.
Director Messter's descriptive story of the mine, its entry-
ways, mules, cave-stables, with the usual bands of rats and
mice scurrying about, together with the life underground, was
one of the high lights of the program which started about
7:30 o'clock. In front of the shaft a number of cars of coal
were loaded and ready for hoisting, and the black walls, and
strange shadows stood out in contrast to the white walls
of the studio.

'Radio flayers
/^TALKIES"
By Milton Samuel
PACIFIC coast Radio drama producers see in the
revocalized film an opportunity for the use of
seasoned and experienced Radio players in the
movie-talkies for Hollywood actors whose
voices are not in keeping with their screen person-
alities.
It has been pointed out by drama producers that the
revocalized film, or the method which makes use of
two sets of actors, a pantomime company and an audio
company, holds great promise for artistic success of
the talking film.
"To turn to the stage for doubles in the audible por-
tion of the movie-talkie would be the wrong method,"
is the opinion of Wilda Wilson Church. For five
years Mrs. Church has directed Radio dramas at KGO.
She has produced for the stage and has appeared in
the movies, so her opinions are drawn from experience.
"In searching for talent for our Radio dramas at
KGO," Mrs. Church goes on to say, "We find
stage training helpful because of certain dramatic
values, but most stage technique in the use of the
voice has to be unlearned. The microphone in
the Radio drama, as in the talking picture, will
have nothing of stage technique of voice projec-
tion. Unlike the human ear, the microphone has
no ability to compensate. It merely collects the
sound, with an extreme degree of accuracy, which
is presented to it. The talking film needs expe-
rienced Radio actors who know their microphone.
;<T7,IVE years ago a little group of players met
-T night after night at KGO, the Pacific coast
station of the General Electric at Oakland, Cali-
fornia, carefully working out a technique by

rehearsal, A Baker's Dozen.
/N the last issue
of Radio Digest
we were told that
" a lot of good jobs
are waiting for
men and women
who can demon-
strate that they
have 'Radio ears'."
Mr. Samuel herein
elaborates upon
what has gone be-
fore in his inter-
view with Mrs.
Wilda Wilson
Church, who has
been one of the
most consistent
producers of Radio
plays in the coun-
try. In this en-
deavor she has the
whole - hearted
backing of the
General Electric
company station,
KGO, Oakland,
California. It is
explained here why
voices in the "talk-
ies" sometimes
sound unnatural.
Distance from the
microphone may
alter the entire
character of a
voice. The Radio
play and the pic-
ture sound drama
have much in com-
mon. Radio pre-
pared the way.

which the dramatic text and accompanying sounds would best
go out over the air when picked up by the microphone.
"One of the first things we found at KGO was that the
voice could not be used as on the stage, but must be modulated
in tone to adapt itself to a microphone which can make a
breath intake sound like a cyclone. Those in the ranks of my
players at KGO with stage training were found to be less
qualified for Radio than those without stage experience.
"There was one applicant at KGO from the stage who rec-
ommended his ability to make his voice heard for 'blocks'.
'But,' he was told, 'you could not make your voice heard in
New York from the Oakland studio. You will have to leave
that to God and the microphone.'
"We found at KGO that stage instructions seemed to mar
naturalness, which is the main requisite for the Radio drama
as in the 'talkie.' The range of naturalness for the voice was
found to lay within one foot or nearer of the carbon micro-
phones," such as are
used in the National
Broadcasting com- __- —
pany studios in San „,<-'"""
Francisco, "and
within three feet of
the condenser mi-
crophones used at
the General Electric
station. Bert Hor-
ton, one of my KGO
players, is noted for
his naturalness. He
reads his lines with-
in a distance of one
to three inches from
the center of the mi-
crophone.
"The hollow, muf-
fled or hoarse noise
we hear from the
screen comes to us
because the actor
cannot be placed
within the range of
naturalness of the
microphone being
used, which at all
times must be out of
camera range. _ Un-
der such conditions
a woman's voice
may sound like a
man's, or a few feet
of action may
change the quality of
a man's voice until,
vocally, he assumes
another character.
UCTAGE actors
O who have
taken part in the
plays at KGO have
had to exercise great
care to keep the
voice from rising to
too great volume in
emotional scenes, for
the station is easily
knocked off the air
and silence rather
than sobs is apt to
reign supreme.
"At present the
voices from the
movie-talkie are for
the most part 'up-stage.' They blare at us from
of the picture. If an actor approaches from a
t lie voice is near. Voices do not enter or leave the room
in the 'talkies' as they are made now. They stay in one
spot. There is no depth, no movement, no light or shade.
With the revocalized film, separate performances can be given
by 'optical players' and 'acoustical players.' This system
allows the actors to concentrate on the camera when before
the glare of its kleig lights, and gives them a chance to speak
directly into the microphone.
"Simply, sincerely, naturally and evenly the voice must go
through the microphone, and the greater the emotion, the
quieter the voice and the nearer it must be to the microphone.
Emotional speech is easily blurred and much such speech has
been forgiven from the stage. Actors before the microphone
in the Radio drama as in the 'talkie' are allowed no such
privilege. They must speak plainly or not at all.
"The movie-talkie will make Radio listeners much more
lenient toward 'effects.' The public has by this time learned
that sounds do not sound like themselves over the microphone.

ting stones, and heard sounds which resembled nothing so
much as false teeth rattling around in a glass of water. They
have seen rooter sections of thousands giving college yells,
which sounded like a couple of terriers that had treed a cat.
UT^HE first time that we wished to stage a gun shot at
JL KGO, we went to the mayor for a permit and fired a
revolver with an empty shell out of the studio window. What
was said of that shot from Central America to Alaska is not
for print. Some threatened to come to Oakland to show us
what a 'real gun' sounds like by trying one on us. Now we
hit the seat of a leather chair with a drum stick and the lis-
tener is satisfied. When we slammed a real door it sounded
like a cork from a pop bottle. We were asked if there were no
real doors in the 'great open spaces of the West.' One listener
drew a diagram and showed us how to hang microphones
overhead, when we
acted our parts. He

acted our parts, as

what they are doing
now in Hollywood.

where an electric
button will release
any 'noise' desired.
The sound of rain is
produced by a cas-
cade of tiny glass
beads. How often
have I seen perspir-
i n g property men
hold a bucket of
water up near the
microphone while
sousing a rag up and down to sound like the waves of the
sea. One difficult problem in one of our plays was to have
the voice sound hollow and still clear as if down in a mine.
The result was secured by having the actors speak into the
grand piano against the lifted top.
"In spite of all difficulties and often against great discour-
agement the Radio play goes on, because the audience
demands drama. Despite criticism the screen talkie will go
on, because in time the mechanical defects will be overcome,
and nothing can reveal the manifold reactions of the mind and
heart so well as the human voice reinforced by the body in
pantomime."
Mrs. Church did not care to make comparisons as to the
vocability of various of the most popular stars who charm the
eye. Mary Pickford, Clara Bow, the Talmadge sisters, the
Costellos and many other screen celebrities have already had
their microphone experiences on the air and some of them have
proven successful with their own voices in the talkies. But
that is no reason why those who are the least bit doubtful
should not take advantage of a double with a proven voice.

pxy Gives Beethoven Feature
(<^\QINTH Symphony" Presented as
Premier Before Mike of NBC Chain
AVING a penchant for hanging up new records in the
field of broadcasting, Roxy has sponsored a presenta-
tion of Beethoven's famous Ninth Symphony.
It takes courage plus to mobilize the forces necessary to
do justice to any of the symphonies of Beethoven, and Rotha-
fel with the Roxy Symphony Orchestra and chorus have done
the trick. That it has met with the approval of Roxy's fol-
jwers throughout the country is evident from the letters that
nave piled up in New York, and which are the most convincing
proof of the success of this latest and most stupendous under-
taking on the part of the New York Radio impresario.
The program was presented through the NBC net, a special
staff of artists gathering for the occasion. The first perform-
ince of Beethoven's Ninth is said
to be the first on the air and, accord-
ing to present plans, will be the
forerunner of other equally inter-
esting contributions from the mas-
:rs.
The Beethoven work was given
with many prominent musicians
taking part, the number including
Gladys Rice, soprano; Douglas
Stanbury, baritone, and Harold Van
^)uzee, tenor.
With these musicians Roxy has

Roxy has presented Casella's

Italia, and although this com-
position has been presented in
concert halls, it remained for
Rothafel to sponsor its pre-
miere before the mike. Ten
million listeners are said to
have been in the audience
which followed the Italia,
which is a rhapsodic treat-
ment of Italian folk-songs.
The Roxy Symphony or-
chestra having played an im-
portant part in the above pres-
entation of Beethoven's fa-
mous work, it also has offered
to Radio fans under the baton of Joseph Littau, Rosamunde
Overture by Schubert and the Military Symphony of Haydn.
Another program in keeping with Roxy's plan to present
the works of the masters included Massenet's Overture to
Phedre, the Symphony in D Minor (Second Movement) by
Franck, the Gitanella Suite by Lacomb, and Romeo and Juliet
by Tschaikowsky.
The idea of offering the best in music to the fans that follow Roxy will
mean that thousands of dials will be tuned for the east to pick up from
the NBC the new programs.
Gladys Rice comes from a family of the stage, her father John C. Rice
being none other than the man who was associated- with Tom Wise in
that comedy, Are You a Mason? Then there was Sally Cohen, who was
Mrs. Rice, and the mother of Gladys. Miss Rice's first professional engage-
ment was at Mount Vernon.
Douglas Stanbury, baritone, and Harold Van Duzee, tenor, are valuable
additions to Roxy's staff. They are young artists whose work in the past
has justified the new responsibilities that have been given to them by Roxy.
Direction of the new concert programs has fallen to Erno Rapee, musical
director of the Roxy theater, who has a splendid assistant in Joseph
Littau, who has taken up a large part of the work on account of the
recent illness of Conductor Rapee.

HE b'gosh character that
in days gone by has sym-
bolized the hick, has passed
from the picture. Today he is a
memory; he and his straw hat, chin whiskers, denims, and
boots are numbered among the things that were rather than
the things that are.
The climax of the week with its milking, chores, threshing,
sewing, plowing and planting came Saturday night when he
drove to town. There he exchanged gossip, cussed and dis-
cussed everybody in general and nobody in particular, and
viewed with alarm or reviewed with pleasure the events of
the week. _ •
In those days there were no automobiles, silos, gang plows,
or windmills. In their place were surries, granaries, foot
plows and a wheezy pump.
Below, Gus and Louie, comedy
characters, join the band.
Quite The Rage
The late Cal Stewart brought down to posterity the voice
of the old-time hays"eed, and in the legitimate drama he left
one of the best drawn and most carefully outlined characters
that flourished away back beyond the present generation.
Matt Thompkins is doing for the Radio what Stewart did
on the phonograph and the stage. In the Chesebrough Real
Folks he is bringing back to life the characters of the rural
districts and especially those of the small town.
In the group on this page Matt, who is none other than
George Frame Brown, occupies the center position. He is
the originator and producer of Real Folks. Brown has given
to Radio a half dozen characters, notably Dr. Mu, a Chinese
philosopher; Capt. Peterson, he with the Swedish dialect;
Luke, a lovable soul of the great open spaces, and now comes
Matt.
Matt can scrape a fiddle, do a jig, drink cider from a bung-
hole, play a mouth harp and call dances.
"Alamand left, do, se, do," are all familiar to Matt, who
can chant with characteristic rural gusto the old call which
runs —
"Turn to the right and balance all, three steps back and spit on
the wall."
Here is Matt in this picture, with Martha, his wife, standing
behind him, and prepared to defend every word of wisdom
that drops from his lips. Elmer, their adopted
nephew, who is all eyes and ears, sits on the
floor.
Then there is Mrs. Templeton Jones, to the
extreme left, who has means and is eager that
everybody should know it. Next is Gus Oleson,
the Swede, who is a master in the art of talking
without saying anything, and the lady with hat
and jabot is Mrs. Watts, a Cockney character
which is played by a real English woman.
Harold Overbrook, one of the gay, young
blades of the village, stands in front of Matt,
and to the right of Martha is Mrs. Bessie Stevens,

PERHAPS it was in
the belief that "all
things come to him
who waits" which
caused the broadcasting sta-
tion in the Allen theater at
Akron, O., to go along all
this time with the call let-
ters WADC and no slogan
to fit them. It was getting
out right well, and with pro-
grams that no station need
be ashamed of, but no one
that had any connection
with it had been able to
think of four words begin-
ning, respectively, with W, ,„ „
A, D and C, which would
form themselves into an announcement fit for
Akron to be remembered by.
Then, along came the Graf Zeppelin, making
new history, setting new records and establish-
ing new precedents.
And along came her commander, from Lake-
hurst to Akron, making some new contracts
for the promotion of travel in lighter-than-air
craft and with the events of that trip came the
slogan to WADC.
"Watch Akron, the Dirigible City," is, in-
deed, a slogan worth waiting a long time for,
is it not? The answer is "yes," and the Radio
station is now devoting some of its efforts to
spreading this advice to all of the world that
it can reach.
WADC believes in giving its listeners plenty
of music, along with those things with
which it claims its right to existence from the
standpoint of "public service, convenience and
necessity." Orchestras of many kinds and
sizes are heard from the Akron station.
Special dance music is supplied three times
a week by Gene Fogarty's orchestra, playing
in one of the largest ballrooms in the city.
Besides, there is one hour of "old time" music
each Wednesday evening. Contributing to
these programs are Warner Coplinger and his
Cumberland Mountain entertainers, who are
recording artists, the Haymakers and Dad
Haskins and his Hicktown String Band.
But the instrumental music is not overdone,
by any means. On the station staff are such
practically extinct street corner German band. There is also a
wood-wind ensemble, which furnishes for the WADC Radio
audience a type of music which is comparatively rare, as broad-
cast programs go, these days. The station also has two good
string quartets at its beck and call.
It furnishes bridge games, both auction and contract, to the
card players who like to listen in, and whatever there is in the
way of variety that is not of local origin comes through its
microphone in the form of broadcasts over the Columbia chain.
In addition to these features, which have been growing
gradually to their present total, WADC offers church service
every Sunday morning and has been doing so for a long time.
One of the newest features is a Sunday
evening Radio hour, with the Rev. George
W. Knepper, an old acquaintance of the
Radio audience, as the speaker. The music
for these latter is furnished by the Stein
Quartet, directed by John Stein, who was
co-starred with the Russian concert pianist,
I Alexander Brailowsky, during the recent
concert season, when programs were given
in the armory at Akron. The Sunday eve-
ning services were inaugurated and have
been maintained particularly in the interest
of shut-ins.
Three concerts a week, played on the big
pipe organ at the Allen theater also form a
part of the regular entertainment from
WADC.

Hawaiian groups are one of the reg-
ular offerings of the station on Friday
evenings. Several of these groups are
available in the vicinity, but the ones
most often heard over WADC are the
Honolulu Duo, the Royal Hawaiians,
the Four Drexler Brothers and the

for children on Saturday afternoons

broadcasts.

American Newspaper Awakens
Apathy of the Old World
By Golda M. Goldman
Special Correspondent
HIS is the Chicago Tribune in Paris, calling the
American colonies in Europe." Thus was inaugu-
rated, at 11 p. m., Paris time, on the night of Novem-
ber 6, 1928, one of the most sur-
prising broadcast programs
which ever went on the air in
Europe.
The great interest manifested
on the continent in the American
presidential elections had been
growing to a climax similar to
that which electrified the United
States during the early days of
November, and the thousands of
Americans detained abroad,
either by business or by pleas-
ure, were loudly lamenting the
time that must elapse before the
returns could reach them. How
numerous these Americans
abroad are may be judged from
the fact that Department of the
Seine (City of Paris) announced
in October that there are 26,187
citizens of the United States
permanently domiciled within its
limits, not counting the tran-
sients!
Therefore, when the an-
nouncer called, "the American
colonies in Europe," it was no
empty cry, for similar num-
bers are to be found in Lon-
don, Berlin, Geneva, and a
host of other continental cap-
itals.
It was these thousands that
the European Edition of the
Chicago Tribune had in mind
when it determined to cele-
brate election night by provid-
ing an all-American program,
with direct cabled election
returns. This program, which
went off flawlessly, began at
11 p. m., and continued until
4 a. m., and the results were
all that this enterprising jour-
nal could have wished.

Government Control Hampers
Development of Broadcasting
By Francis Dickie
Paris Correspondent, Radio Digest
'HILE Radio broadcasting has made great progress in
France during the last eighteen months, it is still a
very long way behind that in America. Two important
factors make for this state of affairs: First, the slower, more
easy-going temperament of the French people and their greatly
lesser initiative, and secondly, the
;hief and most formidable cause,
the French government itself.
The state, having the monopoly
}f the telegraph and telephone sys-
tems in the land, has taken in the
/ireless telephone and telegraph
rights, and for months has been
considering the monopolizing of the
privilege of broadcasting. To date,
however, the government has been
so busy with rriatters more im-
portant to the country, that the
broadcasting has remained in pri-
vate hands. In the present unsettled
state of affairs the people owning
receiving sets do not pay any
license, thus making any census of
Radio impossible. The number of
sets, however, must be enormous.
A great many people in the various
cities have installed them. It is
in the country, however, and the
small provincial towns where Radio
has become most popular.
NATURALLY, with the \
Damocles sword of gov-
ernment monopoly hanging
continually over the heads of
the owners of private broad-
casting stations, the tendency
toward expansion and bigger
investment has been curtailed.
Private owners have contin-
ually raised their voices in pro-
test, but have been unable to
receive any assurance from the
government of a continued
lease of rights. Their activities
and the making of improve-
ments have been curtailed and
no one can tell when a govern-
ment order may be issued, clos-
ing them down with a conse-
quent loss of money invested.
The chief sufferer from this
state of affairs is, of course,

THE Revelers, NBC stars, with Shaw, Melton and Glenn, standing, and Black and James seated.
Quartets Warble for the Masses
RAST and JVEST Present Brilliant Artists to Public
MOST every station has a male quartet and a score or
more have attained Radio fame in the Chicago dis-
trict alone in the last decade.
The Revelers have become famous. They are on
the air Wednesday nights in the Palmolive hour, offering a
series of interesting selections in the coast-to-coast network
of the NBC system.
They have a reputation as a recording and Radio quartet,
and their sway among the masses is due to an extended reper-
toire which they present. The quartet consists of Elliot Shaw,
baritone; James Melton, tenor; Wildred Glenn, bass; Frank
Black pianist and arranger, and Lewis James, tenor.
Another well known singing organization is a regular late
evening program attraction at WMAQ, the Daily News sta-
tion in Chicago, and it bears the name of the Aerials Male
quartet.
The Aerials are all old-time quartet men, and each member
has had extended experience in fraternal and church work.
Paul Mallory is second tenor; Eugene Dressier, first tenor;
Fred H. Huntley, baritone, and Frank H. Collins, bass.
Mallory, Dressier and Collins have been active in the Scot-
tish Rite Choir of Chicago for many years, and Huntley is a
baritone of more than ordinary ability. Doubtless many of
you have heard the Aerials frequently, and here is where
you see 'em. Wouldn't you just like to know what they are
gazing at so intently?

"Chough Town's" Not Half Bad
QIVIC OPERA and Symphony
Redeem Chicago's Good Name
By George Redman
CHICAGO, some say, is a tough town. They call it the "bad boy" of
American cities. For a number of years the rest of the nation, fed
on screaming headlines in sensational papers, has looked askance
at this "Sodom" on the lake. Bloody tales that have kept press
wires humming etch a gory picture in the national mind — Chicago, the
littered battleground for merciless gunmen, gang wars, dubious politics.
Chicago, in the classic words of Ainiee Semple McPherson, the "trap-
door to hell."
But among many of Chicago's glorious attributes is musical art. The
National Broadcasting Company, spokesman to uncounted millions, has
established studios in
the city, and people
throughout the nation
have begun to wonder.
Listeners in Omaha,
Kansas City, Minne-
apolis, and throughout
the great central west,
dial local stations and
hear an NBC program
from Chicago. Ex-
pecting the rattle of
machine guns, they
hear instead a voice
presaging the rumble
of timpani and drums
in a great orchestra.

ING JAZZ is Dead, Long Live the King."
The_ rumor that jazz has passed on has
persisted for a decade, and yet this child
of American- musical expression was never
better health nor looking forward with
greater anticipation to the future than it is today.
Jazz at intervals is lampooned, praised, reviled,
lauded, excoriated and excommunicated, but this
fledgling that seems to be anti in its "relationship with
everything of a musical character, threatens to go on
its merry way violating fixed forms, smashing the
traditional in music, and otherwise working to cross
purposes with what is considered standard in music.
Jazz has come to stay, to have its say and even in
its own way. It epitomizes a cross section of American
life; jazz symbolizes the intensity of our every day
existence, and reflects the complex noises that emanate from
the streets of the city.
Jazz transferred to the realities of life is represented by
towering buildings, the crash and grind of the city, the roar of
its traffic and the hurry and speed of every crowded moment.
The soul of the American cries for noises and dissonances, and
jazz satisfies the longing he has for a phonetic intoxicant.
There is very little of the pastoral in American life today.
It does not contain the elements that make for graceful poetry,
nor does its appeal lie in the romanticism that satisfied the
human family in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
(<T AZZ," Paul Whiteman once reminded the writer, "is what
*J we see as we go about from day to day; it is our life
expressed in musical terms.
"Further," he said, "jazz has been a factor in bringing to
the masses a sense of appreciation for the music of the masters.
Take Cho-Cho-San, the fox trot based on the melodies by
Puccini, the Song of India, adapted from Rimsky-Korsakow,
and the Meditation from Thais, another fox trot by Massenet-
Grofe, all of which have been popularized through special
arrangements made for syncopated bands.
"As for the future of jazz, it is impossible to tell what the
demands will be tomorrow, and changes are being made from
day to day in popular musical forms."
As for Radio, Whiteman has some very pronounced ideas
about the subject and referring recently to his concerts via
the Columbia Broadcasting System, he said:
"What interests me most about my extended broadcast ven-
ture is what the public is going to teach me about music. Let
us have a nation wide jury of music critics when I start my
series of concerts in the Old Gold-Paul Whiteman Hour on
Tuesday nights.
Ci"V7S7"HEN it is all over I want to know more about
VV what the American public likes than anyone has
ever known before. I will appreciate musical criticisms.
One result will be to make possible comparative study of
the musical tastes of various sections of the country that

"Now, for a moment, I
would like to consider this
question from the point of
view of the listener, or, in
other words, the Radio
public. Hundreds of musi-
cal programs are presented
nightly on the air, and the
choice of orchestra and
type of music to be heard
is a large one. I do believe
that the Radio public is
willing to receive jazz with
an unprejudiced mind, but
in most cases classical pro-
grams on the Radio have
never been more success-
ful, due to the fact that the
individual musicians are
better able to play old and
well-known pieces than
they have played for many
years. I do not for a mo-

it is an exaggeration to call the best of its kind in the world,
to present jazz and rhythms in such a way as to make a
miversal appeal to my unseen audience."
Ted Lewis, the tragedian of jazz and he of the funeral mein
ind mournful habilments, is one of the foremost apostles of
inadulterated jazz. Lewis would inject the extreme in his
music; resort to novel presentations and make a bid for
popular support through his clowning with a clarinet and
saxophone.
The irrepressible Ted would not worry over the fine points
of syncopation. His plan of action is to take a
lelody, mobilize his band, and then work out his
iterpretation of the number, disregarding the
thought of following a stereotyped plan of action.
Lewis saw the possibilities some years ago
)f featuring Bagley's National Emblem March,
jsing the small town band as the idea for its pre-
sentation. The song, Bees Knees, afforded Lewis
another opportunity for his own in-
terpretation of a popular number, and
<\e utilized his alpaca coat, flaring
cape, battered derby and saxophone
md clarinet to a good advantage in
his own idea of what was proper in
the rendition of the song, Fate, and
more recently, another number,
^augh, Clown, Laugh.
|~0HN Philip Sousa, a composer and
bandmaster of many years, has
found amusement in jazz because it
has featured the ridiculous, and at
times tends to the vulgar.
Sousa's programs within a decade
tiave continued to feature the old
time numbers, such as the Stars and

School Cadets and others that his own
pen have made famous, and more recently
his band has turned more and more to
the presentation of numbers that are not
lacking in the features that give them a
tremendous vogue with the present gen-
eration.
Who can ever forget the brilliant pro-
grams that Sousa presented in 1900, and
even at the time of the Omaha Exposition,
when Arthur Pryor was numbered among
the trombonists of his band, and yet when
compared with his concerts today the
difference is apparent, for Sousa is play-
ing to another generation, and his pro-
grams are arranged to satisfy the tastes of
the present age.
A score of years ago Victor Herbert,
.. — mBBotShEI while featuring his own orchestra, played
countless programs using his own com-
positions. Then as now the public never tired of his Oriental
Dance from Wonderland and his Entr 'Acte from Mile Modiste.
The popularity of Herbert's music today continues, and
Mile Modiste, The Only Girl, The Velvet Lady, Eileen, Dream
City and the Magic Night, and other operas from his pen have
increased in popularity.
Herbert's tremendous following was built up long before
the advent of the saxophone, an instrument which he said he
found little difficulty toAandle from the standpoint of com-
position, but otherwise wne which grated on his nervous
system.
THE music of Herbert has a following wherever it is broad-
cast; it does not however, possess the snorts, and cackles
that are offensive in jazz, but rather its appeal is in its unique
color, the eloquence with which beautiful themes are handled,
and finally the resourcefulness in handling timbre and dynamics.
All are representative of Herbert, who before his death com-
posed four brief serenades for Whiteman's orchestra.

(&TUDIO in Oakland, California,
is the Rendezvous of Famous Artists
A SMALL army of artists takes part in the daily pro-
grams sent out from KLX, and offers almost every-
thing known in the field of entertainment for the fans
who follow this station.
KLX has for its slogan, "Where Rail and Water Meet," and
its sponsors have nailed to the masthead of the station the
suggestion:
"Midway on the dial you'll find programs worth while."
Having been long active in the field of news dissemination,
the Oakland Tribune has taken up a similar service in Radio,
and daily the Tribune siren comes on the air to announce
the hour and present the program features that have made
the station popular on the Pacific coast.
P. D. Allen is manager of KLX, which was founded
November 20, 1922, and the job of making up daily programs
has been delegated to Charles Lloyd.
Lloyd has gathered in the Tribune studio a great band of
Radio stars, and they have built up a big following in the
West. Something to appeal to everybody is perhaps the best
expression one could use in telling in a few words the idea
that animates Lloyd in working out the details of his programs.
A regular feature appearing each week day is George Otto's
Hawaiians. They star with ukes and guitars, presenting the
catchy and dreamy melodies of the Pacific islands. This unit
numbers four men, and its members are right from Hawaii,
which means they have the background and the understanding
of the music of their native land.
Then there is Brother Bob, who talks late in the afternoon.
Some of you may have heard his interesting chats, and fol-
lowed him in his talks before the mike.
Two fine comic artists are Rastus and the Professor, who
have featured the quaint expression, "I know it." Their col-
ored dialect is immense; they understand the humor and the
chatter of the Negro, and have a naive way of
putting over their lines.
Some of you fans have heard Thelma Hall,
whose soprano voice has charmed listeners of
KLX. She is a popular singer identified with
Jean's Hi-Lights.
KLX has another well-known Radio enter-
tainer in the person of Tatyana Popova, a Rus-
sian mezzo-soprano. She is on the air during
the presentation of the evening programs, and
her happy manner and carefree spirits have both
contributed to the hold she has on the Radio
public along the coast.
Charles T. Besserer is the popular organist at
Station KLX. He is a splendid artist.

KMBC Presents
VARIETY
VARIETY being the well known spice of life KMBC at
Kansas City believes in spice. Tuning in this popular sta-
tion, associated with the Kansas City Journal-Post, one
obtains a well flavored program whether it be by night or
day. The success and popularity it has widely achieved may be
attributed largely to the vision and foresight of Arthur B. Church,
managing director, and of its program director, George C. Biggar,
who not only organizes the variety of entertainment but takes the
"mike" himself. He has not lost sight
of the vitally important fact that the
voice of the station is the only contact the
personality of the station has with its
audience; an item somewhat overlooked
by many station heads who feel that the
business of being an announcer is trivial
and well within the scope of a schoolboy's
spare time.
Mr. Biggar does his own announcing
and does it well. The KMBC audience
reaches out through a strata of bridge and
tea circles, busy housewives, resting busi-
ness men, workingmen's homes, stock
buyers and sellers, farmers and
farmers' families, and into homes
that touch every walk of life.
There is need for varied enter-
tainment and information. All
must be pleased.
Market reports, problems of
the home, weather conditions,
spot news of the hour take up
the daylight span of broadcast-
ing. There is something passing
in review all the time. But when

The Arkansas Woodchopper is one of those
old-time singers who regales with the tunes
of long ago. His repertoire includes the care-
free and happy old ballads such as "In the
Shade of the Old Apple Tree," "Blue Bells,"
"Old Black Joe" and "Mother Machree." His
own guitar accompaniments, his genial per-
sonality and infectious good humor make the
Arkansas Woodchopper a welcome personage
before the "mike."
Then for the benefit of the lovers of genuine
Scotch humor and the Lauder type of songs
there is Jock, the Wee Scotchman. Jock is
a master of the dialect of his
native land and can roll his

chuckle, typical of the sons of

For the Great Game of "Getting Distance"
SINCE the beginning of
Radio broadcasting, lis-
teners have been inter-
ested in seeing how far
their sets would reach. Who
was not proud the first time
his set reached across the con-
tinent? In the earlier days of
broadcasting it was quite a
feat when the listener in New
York heard Chicago. As time
went on transcontinental re-
ception became more com-
mon, until the increasing number of sta-
tions crowded the wavebands. In the last
few years the air has been so crowded that
DX reception has been difficult.
Now, again, thanks to the federal Radio commission, we
have a chance for worthwhile DX reception, as a glance at the
chart of clear channels shows.
Eastern listeners will find clear channels for Pacific coast
stations, coast listeners clear channels in the East, and Midwest
fans have clear reception from both directions. As a matter
of fact, conditions for DX reception are better now than ever
before. Not only are there more clear channels, but the sta-
tions have higher power than ever before.
But, you may ask, why all this talk about DX; why not listen
to the programs from the local station? One of the marvels
of Radio broadcasting has been the ability to tune in stations
in any direction. The DX fan is in one sense an explorer, for
by turning the dials he can get a symphony concert from New
York, dance music from Los Angeles, a talk from Denver, a
barn dance from Nashville, or the World's Pioneer Broad-
casting Station at Pittsburgh.
SITTING in his easy chair, the fan can tour all parts of the
United States. With the new high-power receiving sets
fans should have no trouble on the clear channels. Even Chi-
cago and New York listeners have a chance for DX with the
clear zones in the city allocations.
The thrill one gets in tuning in a program miles away is
hard to equal. Long before man dreamed of Radio there was
romance in distance. Today distance still lends enchantment,
for who isn't thrilled by hearing an orchestra across the con-
tinent. Fans can try for anything from 8WMC St. Johns, New-
foundland (400m.) to KGBU Ketchikan, Alaska (333m.) this
season.
You veteran DXers who were on the air when KGO Oakland
used to come through on 312 meters — when KFKX came in
like a local — when WDAP Chicago was on the air, will all be
hard at it these days, but you fans who don't know the thrill
of DX, check over the set, get a log of the new waves, and
try your hand. The chances are excellent. Let's go!
Reception of foreign stations on the broadcast waves has
developed until now programs can be tuned in from stations
in Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia. The best
transpacific station is 2BL Sydney (New South Wales). It
may sound like a fairy tale to hear broadcast programs at a
distance of 10,000 miles, yet 2BL can be tuned in many morn-
ings of the year about 6 a. m., E.S.T. (9 p. m. in Sydney).
There is little interference at this hour. The best months for
2BL are March and October. It often has good volume and
the announcement is given "Station 2BL at Sydney." All
types of entertainment can be heard. Often at 6 the GPO
clock and chimes sound the hour.
THE BEST (and most famous) transatlantic station is 2LO,
the London station of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Many interesting programs have been broadcast since the first
one in November, 1922. London can be tuned in on good
winter evenings on 361 meters.
To obtain the most satisfactory results there are certain
important rules pertaining to the location, condition and op-
eration of the receiver which one should follow diligently —
rules that others as well as I have found to be most practical
if not absolutely essential. These rules follow:
1. A good location.
2. A high aerial.
3. The best possible ground.
4. A set 100% efficient — selective — with tubes and phones in
the best of condition.

Furthermore, one should
keep in touch with the devel-
opment of Radio in all parts
of the world. By experience
one learns the best times to
listen for DX. We do not say
that reception of the Antip-

it depends much on proper at-

that DISTANCE LENDS ENCHANT-
MENT.
FOR a number of years the writer has been receiving foreign
stations and consequently he has become interested in Radio
in all parts of the world. Located in the eastern part of the
United States, he has been successful in tuning in medium wave
stations on several continents during the past five years. 2LO
London has been heard every year since the International
Tests of 1923. During the winter of 1927-28, it frequently
came in with fair volume. EAJ6 Madrid, EAJ1 Barcelona,
and Hamburg (Germany) have been logged on the Continent
and OAX Lima in South America. JOAK Tokio and KGU
Honolulu have been tuned in under very favorable conditions.
The Australian broadcast stations have been coming in every
fall and spring since 1926. 2FC, 3LO, 4QG, SCL have been
logged a number of times. 2BL Sydney has an exceptional
record, for it has been heard many times with good volume.
The writer has kept in touch with Radio in other lands in a
number of ways. He corresponds with fans in England, Aus-
tralia, and China, and receives Radio papers from England,
Argentina, and Australia.
By letter he has kept in touch with foreign stations in all
parts of the world. He values very highly letters and cards
from the stations mentioned above confirming reception of their
programs. Feeling that many fans are interested in the inter-
national development of Radio, he has outlined the situation
in various parts of the world.

Dissolves
Radio Keith Orpheuna Hour Represents
LIKE the warm spring sunshine against a frosty-
snow bank the permeating good will and
friendly influence of Radio broadcasting melts
down one frigid barrier after another — and now we have the spectacle
of America's old established chain of vaudeville houses in the ranks of the
broadcasters.
Until recently the management of the Keith and Orpheum circuits considered
Radio an enemy to the theatrical interests. Too many people, so they reasoned,
would be only too happy to have the entertainment of talented artists come to
them over the air and down through the all-embracing throat of the Radio
reproducer at the neglect of the box office.
No artist with a contract for stage appearances with
these old established houses was signed but that one
specific clause was inserted to the effect that said artist
must not be heard over the Radio during the term of
that contract.
Now, everybody knows that the Radio Keith Orpheum
hour over the National Broadcasting company network
every Tuesday night at 11 o'clock, E. S. T., is one of
the most enjoyable periods of the week. The inaugural
program a few weeks ago was one of the sensations of
Radio history with pickups from the leading Radio
Keith Orpheum houses located in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago and Milwaukee. All
were shoved into the big Radio perform-
ance with such smooth deftness it was
difficult to imagine that the bill represented
such a wide spread of territory.
Gone were the old prejudices as the stim-
ulating list of headliners was flashed to the
listening audience of millions. Is it con-
ceivable that thousands in that audience as
the result of that broadcast would not feel
sufficiently aroused to go and hear the
artist direct when the opportunity afforded?
Whence came this change of heart? The
inside story has not all been told — probably
never will be. The first crack in the armor
seems to have developed last summer when
the publicity director in the Chicago area
persuaded his conferees that no serious
harm would come from a try-out of a few
broadcast announcements of current attrac-
tions at the Palace. Tom Mix was on his
way west from New York. A special
reader was sent out over a local station
announcing the appearance of Tom and his
horse, Tony, on the Palace stage. The
result was surprising. The regular summer
slump seemed instantly overcome and the
big Palace came very close to a complete
sell-out.
Other experiments followed with equally
surprising results. They were actually
getting right into the homes. Radio listen-
ers were interested in vaudeville. They
really left their receiving sets to see a
vaudeville show! The result was that
Radio Keith Orpheum theaters throughout
the whole territory were instructed to place
announcements with their local broadcast-
ers. All the Chicago Radio Keith Orpheum
houses are now on the air regularly, with
the leading houses on daily except Saturday
and Sunday. Even the Palace Sunday mat-
inee has come from a half-sold house to a
regular complete sell-out every Sunday
with hundreds turned away, and from no
other promotion than Radio.
All this doubtless had its effect in the
ultimate change of policy — and the final
acquisition of important stock by the Radio
Corporation of America. With the advent
of the latter company into the organization
came the rather mystifying question of

"Why?" What is the RCA going to do in the theat-
rical game? Various statements and theories have
appeared. Attempts to get definite and detailed infor-
mation from headquarters by Radio Digest have not been entirely successful.
• One story published under the authority of a news syndicate stated that the
RCA was planning to line up a string of good theaters for television shows on
a big scale. It was indicated that the Radio corporation would produce
master shows in key centers and send them either by wire or short wave
transmission to affiliated theaters on the circuit. Thus the patrons of perhaps
a hundred or more theaters would be sitting in far scattered communities and
listening and seeing the same performance emanating from a studio located
and operating as one of the present-day Radio broadcast chain studios.
The question as to the truth of this story was
put to various people in New York and Chicago.
And only evasive or "buck-passing" answers
were received.
Perhaps the Radio Keith Orpheum hour is an
experiment leading to an arrangement of this
sort. And eventually that may be still another
phase of the Radio of tomorrow.
There have been transcontinental broadcasts
before the opening of the Radio Keith Orpheum
hour, but none jumped about the country from
one town to another with so little interruption
The exact chronological order of events is not
available to the writer at this moment. It is
recalled, however, that the master of ceremonies
in the New York studios of the National Broad-
casting company indicated that the curtain was
going up in the Boston theater where Henry
Santry's orchestra played an overture to be fol-
lowed later by incidental music.
The next scene shifted to New York, and other
entertainers stepped out from the wings. Every
listener could easily visualize a stage and perhaps
the very artist announced for that particular
number, Will Fyffe, the celebrated Scotch come-
dian, who had been in Chicago the week before,
was readily visualized by patrons of the Chicago
Palace when he was announced in New York
with his peculiar and fascinating line of patter
from old Scotland.
With scarcely a flutter the scene was shifted
to Philadelphia where a blackface team shuffled
out before the Radio footlights and regaled the
audience with African wise-cracks and snappy
comebacks. The orchestra played, a new name
appeared in the Radio annunciator. It was Mae
Murray and her marimba band. Mae, all palpi-
tating and so misjudged as an utterly frivolous little thing, stepping from past
to present, talks solemnly and draws an impromptu moral from the fact of
her broadcasting, for which she contritely apologizes when it is all over.
There is no intermission on high-priced toll lines, so the next curtain goes
up in Chicago where Adela Verne, billed as the world's greatest woman pianist,
is seated at the piano. When you hear her you feel that the claim is fully
justified — at least you never heard any woman play with greater mastery and
feeling. And perhaps you might go so far as to say you never heard lordly
man do a more artistic interpretation on the piano.
Now you are back in New York where Miss Edith Evans is singing to you.
You certainly will want to see the girl who can sing like that when she comes
to your local theater — and that's where the old vaudeville czars made their
mistake for so long, in their contempt of Radio.
You may miss the handclapping but there is no time wasted before you
discover that your ears are now listening to what is going on in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin — quite a hop, but you never noticed it. Nick Lucas, the crooning
troubadour, is pleasing you with his gentle tenor voice and a faintly sighing
ukulele. You sure are glad to hear Nick again, as you have learned to like
him from hearing him come to you from various broadcasting stations where
he first acquired fame as a sweet singer.
And so the program goes. You realize now that
another big field of fine entertainment is opened to
the Radio listener. Another formidable ice barrier
has melted away and you have a great deal to antici-
pate for the future in the way of notable talent for
your Radio entertainment.

Tulsa and Tells the Southwest All that
Can be Told in Language of Masses
THIS job of being voice of an entire state is no joke. Just
ask any of the KVOO staff. For four years now this
station has been operating under the title, The Voice
of Oklahoma.
Back in 1924 several thousand people gathered in Bristow,
Okla., to celebrate the opening of KFRU (since changed to
KVOO), the first station in the cowboy state to use the
enormous power of 500 watts. Hundreds of artists took part
in the twenty-four hour program initiating the station. It
was then operating on an average of six hours daily. E. H.
Rollestone was its founder.
Two years later another entertainment heralded the instal-
lation of a new 1,000-watt Western Electric trans-
mitter and an increase in operating time to ten
hours daily.
Last year another step was taken in the advance-
ment of "Oklahoma's Voice" when the equipment
was moved to Tulsa with its added talent facilities.
Shortly after the stock of the corporation was
bought by W. G. Skelly, Tulsa oil man.
Improvements are coming so fast
that even the staff cannot keep up with
them. New studios, higher power, in-
creased personnel and everything that
goes to make a first-class broadcasting
station. KVOO is now operating in
one of America's finest studios. This
includes two studios, inner and outer
offices, reception room, control room
and smoker lounge.
From a technical standpoint, im-
provements are just as elaborate. The
new transmitter, using 5,000 watts, will
be.located at a point about fifteen miles
from Tulsa. A stucco bungalow is
being constructed to house the appa-
ratus, and will, in
addition, provide
living quarters for
operators and en-
gineers.
At present
KVOO is main-
taining the most
complete schedule
of any broadcast-
ing station in the
southwest, giving
u n i nterrupted
service an average
of fifteen hours
daily. Opening
with a shopping
hour at 10 o'clock
each morning, the
Voice of Oklaho-
ma broadcasts al-
most continuously
until 1 a. m.

Every conceivable
type of entertainment
goes on the air during
this daily period of
broadcast. Markets,
sports, farm talks, vo-
cal numbers, organ
musi c, instrumental
soloists and ensembles
and dance orchestras,
each have a turn at
the mike daily in ad-
dition to the chain
broadcasting.
KVOO was
the first south-
western station
. ,„a to obtain a
berth on both
theredand
blue networks
of the NBC.
At present it
is carrying the
great majority
of well known
broadcasts of
both chains.

^Alabama
Until recently the great State of Alabama has lagged far
behind the majority of the states with respect to Radio.
While other states have been forging ahead with the instal-
lation of one and in some instances several super-power
stations, Alabama has been forced to content herself with
two very small stations. About four years ago that indescrib-
able Radio bug began working on two of Alabama's leading
characters, P. O. Davis and L. N. Duncan, both of whom
were connected directly with Extension Service of Alabama.
Through the beneficence of the Alabama Power company
a station located at Birmingham, and operated under the call
letters of WSY was given to the Alabama Polytechnic In-
stitute of Auburn, Ala.
This station was operated by the college for a while, then
enlarged to 500 watts through a gift of Victor Hanson, owner
and publisher of the Birmingham News and Age Herald. It
was soon found that a 500-watt station was inadequate to serve
the purposes of the college, and plans were formulated for
the purchase of a new 1,000-watt Western Electric station
which was later installed at Auburn.
Because of the small population
within the consistent coverage of the
one KW station and the lack of
talent in Auburn, Mr. Davis and
Mr. Duncan decided that a super-
power station located at Birming-
ham, Ala., which is geographically
near the center of the state and near
the center of the population of the
state, would serve the State of Ala-
bama in a far greater way than could
ever be expected in Auburn.
After many conferences arrange-
ments were made for the City of
Jesse L. Drennen, Jr., 13-year-
old vocalist, at right; also, Wal-
ter N. Campbell, manager,

Birmingham to pay half the op-
erating expenses of the station
should it be removed to Birming-
ham. A new 105 C type West-
ern Electric transmitter, the third
built by Western Electric Company,
was purchased by the Alabama Poly-
technic Institute of Auburn, and in-
stalled at Birmingham with remote
control studios in Auburn and
Montgomery, Ala., the state capital.
The Protective Life Insurance
company of Birmingham which
had been contemplating the installa-
tion of a broadcasting station, offered
to co-operate with the officials of the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute by fur-
nishing and equipping a suite of
studios which were to be used by
WAPI. The entire fourteenth floor
of the Protective Life Building in
Birmingham was turned over to the
station. This layout consists of one
large main studio, a smaller studio
and an auditorium with a seating
capacity of 300. All of these were
prepared acoustically.
Plans having been completed for
the installation of the station, Mr.
Davis, who had been made general
manager of the station, began to look
around to find some one to take
charge of the station as manager. It
was his desire to find a man who was
experienced in radio.
After making several visits to
various stations he dropped in at
Nashville where it was suggested to
him by interested parties in that city
that he might be able to secure the
services of Walter N. Campbell who
for two years had been connected
with two of Nashville's radio stations
— WLAC and WBAW. An offer was
made to Mr. Campbell, who ac-
cepted and began work December
15. 1928.
W. A. (Bill) Young, who
had been connected with
WAPI for two years when
it was located at Auburn,
was brought to Birming-

JACKSONVILLE
PICTURE the royal
palms, orange groves,
white sand and a great
stretch of water, and
you have a hasty picture
from an airplane of Florida.
True, as you near the earth
you come upon magnificent
avenues, stucco houses of
colors that defy description
and baffle the imagination,
and everywhere acre upon
acre of vegetation that seems
to run rampant.
Then suddenly a city, with
its imposing business sec-
tion, dignified residential dis-
trict and well appointed out-
lying centers of activity. And,
amid it all blasely rising into
the blue are the towers of
WJAX, which became an ac-
tive going Radio station Nov.
26, 1925.
WJAX speaks for Jackson-
ville.
"And, why?" you ask.
The answer is simple, be-
cause the station is maintained
by the City of Jacksonville.
Therefore, when WJAX is
on the air, Jacksonville is speaking for its 140,700 inhabitants.
John T. Hopkins III, formerly of WCAP, is the manager,
announcer and chief engineer at WJAX, and around these
three responsible positions the activity of the station radiates.
The burden of caring for the musical features provided by
WJAX is carried largely by Mrs. Irving Messick, who is not
only accompanist for the countless artists that broadcast from
the station, but a piano soloist of the first rank, and director
of the Aeolian Trio.
If WJAX has any music to offer to the Radio fans, Mrs.
THROUGH WJAX
m Sunny Florida
Messick handles the infinite details essential
to the presentation of the best and most
popular numbers.
Of the soloists — and there are many —
Nina Gifford has given pronounced evidence
of her success as a Radio artist by her three
years' service in WJAX. Her repertoire
includes ballads and grand opera selections,
and her work before the mike is of such a
character as to reflect credit not only upon
herself but upon WJAX and its manage-
ment.
The schedule at WJAX is followed daily
except Sunday, and since the station was
founded, its programs have included almost
every feature that has been carried over the
air during the last few years.
The responsibility of working out popular
programs has been planned with infinite
care for detail by Manager Hopkins, who
has, through his years of experience in the
broadcasting field, been able to analyze pub-
lic taste and at the same time satisfy the
most analytical demands of the public.
Give them what they want and in the way
they want it, seems to be the slogan of Man-
ager Hopkins, whose success at WJAX has
been due largely to his ability to take seri-
ously this truth, and put it into effect.

DOESN'T Florida sound wonder-
ful in the winter or early spring
time, especially when it is cold
outside and then when
winter and spring are
half way intermingling?
I had my mind all made
up that I would take a
trip down the Eastern
coast in that great big
flying machine and tell
you all about those Southern announ-
cers, but, of course, all one's dreams do
not come true. I must confess that I
was influenced for a Florida trip by
Walter Tison of WFLA and Dudley
Saumenig of WSUN. When you look
at those two nice men you can't help but
feel that Florida is a place where men
are men. They are tall you know and
good looking and such a sense of humor.
I really ought to know because they took
me out to dinner and we went to one
of those big hotels where they have an
orchestra and all kinds of waiters and
you have so many courses it takes a
long time to eat.
Walter Tison is blonde and quite slen-
der, blue eyes of course,
and the softest voice.
Dudley Saumenig is six
feet two inches tall and
he's just the opposite of
Mr. Tison, because he
has black hair and he's
quite tanned. What a
merry twinkle he has in his eye and
what funny remarks he makes. I
couldn't help but wonder if he tells those
odd jokes when he broadcasts. Tune in
these two stations. With their new
transmitters, I am sure you can hear
them. Oh, well maybe I can go to
Florida next year.
* * *
Some of these men are simply impos-
sible. That Ollie Riehl is
one of them. I never saw
such a man. My boss
sent me to the National
Broadcasting company
and said, "Now please get
him to write a story
about the future of Radio
programs." And I went but did I get a
story? I should say not. Just as Mr.
Riehl would open his mouth to speak
to me, the phone would ring. Once I
heard him say, "All right dear," I pre-
sume he is married, but, my goodness,
you would never get time to ask him.
Then when I was all ready to ask him
whether he thought Radio would be big-
ger and better in would come the engi-
neer and ask him something. Then an
artist wanted to know whether such and
such was so. Really I never saw anybody
trying to see more people than Mr.
Riehl. The worst of it was he asked me
to come over just at noon and I nat-
urally though he would take me to lunch.
Not he, why he never eats lunch. All
he was having for his mid-day meal was
a glass of malted milk and he was fin-
ishing that when I came in.
But he really is a dear, full of fun and
just chock full of ideas and that's the
reason he doesn't have time to interview
anybody. When you are trying to get
Radio programs all over the country
By Marcella
and make them absolutely perfect, you
would be surprised how many things
there are to consider.
ELIZABETH ANN, how nice it was
to get a letter from you. It seems
a long time since you have written.
Don't I think Leslie Joy devastatingly
good looking? I should say I do, and his
picture does not do him credit. He has
the most attractive blue eyes and the
keenest I ever saw. Not married either!
You would like Mr. Ruffner if you were
to see him. He is tall and quite tanned
and athletic looking. Wasn't that a
dreadful thing about the Eiffel Tower of
Radio. I assure you that wasn't my mis-
take. Of course, I have met the little
pink wife and she is very pleasant in-
deed. What I referred to was Johnnie
Frenkel and look what that printer did.
Elizabeth Ann, here is a letter from Carl
Menzer, himself and I shall quote it as is.
"Sorry I haven't been able to get up to
your office but next time I'm in Chicago
I certainly will avail myself of the
pleasure. (Nice phrase, wasn't it?)
Haven't been there for a month and a
half, though. Dropped in to see the air-
craft show on my way back from Saska-
toon, Sask., and had to hurry for a
basket ball broadcast.
"Who do I come to Chicago to look
at? Well — The Genna Boys and Al
Caponi pledged me to their fraternity;
nice bunch of boys; and then I have to
go in to wind the town clock period-
ically. Been having some trouble get-
ting Wm. Hale T. pointed in the right
direction, too.
"Here's the dope: Drew MacDougal
is a student in the University of Iowa
and used to be one of the operators at
WSUI. Got so busy with studies that
he had to give up the Radio operating
a couple of weeks ago. I'd guess he was
about five feet ten, blue or brown eyes,
black or brown hair, and awfully good
looking. Elaine Bair is the same sweet
girl. I'll enclose a little photo of her.
They have glue on the back of them.
Told her they come in mighty handy to
paste over holes in the windshield of
one's car or to paste wrapping paper on
packages. Seriously, though, her organ
programs are extremely popular. Wish
she could do some recording. Jimmy
Toyne plays relief for Elaine when she's
home visiting Mamma and Papa Bair
at Clinton, Iowa. Only thing wrong
with Jimmy is that recently he went and
done as others have did. Got married,
doggone him. Guess that's about all
the gore.
"Oh, say! We're starting a novel
broadcast tomorrow which will be given
every Tuesday and Thursday at eleven.
Broadcasting University class room
exercises with mikes right in the class
room. Ever hear of it before? And,
Marcella, if you'll promise to use some
extremely good pictures of WSUI's new
studios, artists, etc., in Radio Digest,
I'll see they are sent pronto. Want
story about the station, too? We have
the most beautiful reception hall of any
broadcasting station in America! No
Blah.
"Would like to have you visit WSUI
and the University of Iowa."
Would we like those pictures of ar-
tists? I will say we would.
* * *
It is so lovely of you, Thelmo, to
want to see a picture of the blonde flap-
per, Marcella, but I have never had any
taken. However, here is the picture of
Bernice, and Mr. Tomy of WRJ writes
as follows:
"Bernice" is just Bernice — at least she
has gone without the family name for
so long that she has to give a couple of
thinks to remember it herself. She be-
came staff pianist for WCX, lately
absorbed by WJR, in 1923, and was
perhaps the greatest factor in making
the Red Apple club nationally known.
She is frequently at WJR but is just
now in vaudeville, teaming with Thelma
Bow with whom she was long associated
on Radio. "Bernice" probably has the
most distinctive technique of any pian-
ist heard on Radio. Once you hear her
you will never fail to recognize her
work. She is 23 years old, or will be in
a few days, and is not married. She's
not so hard to look at, either, as the
accompanying picture will disclose." He
also says that Bernice and Thelma Bow
are booked in Chicago for the last of
February and he will have them call me
up. Watch for the next issue and will
tell you all about them. These men
never seem to get in all the details we
like, do they? Funny when I was in
Detroit last spring I missed Bernice. I
gave you her picture recently.
WHAT bad luck one does have, some-
times. There is Alois Havrilla. I
caught just a glimpse of him when I was
in New York and thought he was very
nice, but did not have time to really get
a good impression. He is a visiting
announcer with the NBC and was in
and out of town last week. I am
awfully sorry, Hortense, that I could
not get a good chat with him. I will
see what can be done for the next issue.
Ellen dear, when your letter came in
asking about Happy Hank, WGN was
immediately written to asking for the
information you wanted and his pic-
ture. Instead of sending back a reg-
ular photograph, that WGN publicity
man sent a pen and ink sketch, which
I will just bet you Hank drew himself,
and here is the answer to my letter:
"The enclosed picture was taken of
Happy Hank at the tender age of four.
His favorite_ hobbies include yachting
on his palatial steam yacht, wintering
at Palm Beach and wiping the dishes
for his wife. Hoping you are the same,
Hank Harrington."
Can you imagine! I think Hank
drew that funny picture himself, and
everybody knows no Radio announcer
could afford a steam yacht and take trips
to Palm Beach. I really can't see why
these_ men treat our serious questions
so frivolously Thank you so much for
inviting me to visit you if I am ever
up that way. I would love to.
* * *
LITTLE JACK LITTLE certainly
has wound his way into the hearts
of his audience. There are ever so
J,8
many requests for his picture. You will
find it in a different section of the mag-
azine. Yes, Jack is married and his
wife travels with him much of the time.
She is devoted. Jack may be small but
he is very good looking. He has blue,
eyes and light hair and has pink cheeks.
There is something very attractive about
him. Of course, I have seen him! He
is 5 feet 3 inches tall and is about
twenty-eight years old. He was born
in Waterloo, Iowa. I wonder if any
of our Iowa readers remember him.
* * H=
Even though Ford and Glenn are not
on the air at this minute, Helen wants
to know more about them. Both the
boys are married and have very nice
wives. At least I have never heard any
complaints against them. Ford Rush
was born in New Orleans over thirty
years ago. He is six feet tall and
weighs close to 200 pounds. Glenn
Rowell was born in Pontiac, 111., about
thirty years ago. He may not be as
tall as Ford, but he weighs more. Aren't
they a jolly pair? Did you know that
Edgar Bill, director of WLS, brought
them together.
* * *
You are a little late, Elsie, asking for
information about Lewis
C. TeeGarden of KEX.
He became engaged last
month to that very pretty
contralto, Alice Prindle.
It just seems as if they
ought not to allow the
Radio stars to be so good
looking because it is so fatal to the
announcers and directors. Oh, just lots
of them have been ensnared by so-
pranos, not to speak of contraltos and
pianists. It doesn't give us girls on
the outside very much chance, does it?
It is no wonder Mr. TeeGarden has such
a lovely, deep voice. He is a graduate
of the Alviene School of Dramatic Art
in New York City and has had several
years of professional experience. He
seems terribly young to be getting en-
gaged, don't you think?
Here is a picture of my little name-
sake, Marcella Roth. We
have quite a close feeling
for each other just be-
cause we have the same
name. However, Mar-
cella Roth is a little red
head instead of a blonde
and, although she showed
no signs of a peppery temper when she
was up here several years ago, I ex-
pect she can hold her own. Marcella
is back on the air again as the Twi-
light Story Girl of WWL, New Or-
leans. Tune in at 7:30 p. m. Saturday
nights and you can hear her read her
delightful stories. My goodness, what
an old Radio star Marcella Roth is.
She has been on the air for at least
two or three years.
* * *
HERE'S a letter from a Radio fan
who has been listening to programs
for the last four years. She asks me
about the United Lansinger. Has any-
body heard him lately? I haven't, not
a word. The Ray-O-Vac Twins are
broadcasting under their own names
of Russ Wiley and Bill Sheehan at
KMA, Shenandoah. The gay pair you
hear at WDAF called Jack and Jill
are Dean Fitzer and Juanita Collins
Fitzer, his wife. There, now, it is out.
Is Mr. Fitzer fat? I should say not.
He is tall and well built, unless he has
put on weight the last two years, and
has the dearest little mustache.
Jill is a little lady of 115 pounds, blue
eyes, dimples and golden hair. There
is a little "Jill" called Shirley Dean.
Did I tell you about going to Detroit
this year? In that way
I met that handsome
John Patt at WJR. Oh,
I am very much afraid
he is married. In fact,
Jessie, I saw Mrs. Patt,
although I was not intro-
duced. Let me see, John
has been in the Radio field ever since
WDAF first went on the air. He has
always been right hand man to Leo
Fitzpatrick both at WDAF and WJR,
and not only that, he was on the air when
he went to the University of Kansas
at Lawrence. This isn't a new picture,
at all. In fact, Mr. Patt is just dread-
ful about sending out his photographs,
and I thought, even though this was
taken two or three years ago, it might
give you a general idea of his appear-
ance. Of course, he is much more ma-
ture nowadays. You might say that he
grew up with Radio, because he has done
practically nothing else.
H. Dean Fitzer, WDAF Director.
There was a director,
His name was Dean Fitzer;
He had a cute whisker
On top of his kitzer.
MY GOODNESS, why can't that at-
tractive team, Jack and Jean, stay
put. Now they are at WLW. Here
is the latest information about them,
Jinny. (I just know that printer is
going to print your name Jimmy.) Jack
and Jean are so mischievous that it is
terribly hard to get any information
out of them. Every really serious ques-
tion they laugh at. Doesn't it sound
like them? For instance, when asked
if they were married, they seemed to
take it as a perfect joke. Of course,
they are both very young. Both have me-
dium brown hair and blue eyes. Gean
Carroll is tall and slim and Jack Grady
is shorter and heavier. They used to
sing in vaudeville and met four years
ago, when they decided to team _ up.
Jack is the one who plays the piano
and Jean plays the harmonica and
guitar.
Where do you think that attractive
Walter Campbell has gone now? I
know you could never guess, Betty,
WAPI, Birmingham, Ala. Another rea-
son I should like to have gone south.
You remember, I said he telephoned
me and said he was going to a new
station.

Henry Wing certainly got fooled
when he went to WLBZ. He thought
the snow would be so deep that he
would be snowed in for the winter and
Radio would be his only communication
with the outside world, and he says
they haven't had a bit of snow yet
and his letter is dated January 18. It
seems as if winter is not what it was.

Lucille says she has palpitations when-
ever she hears Bob
Brown of WGR. Here
is what Anne Stewart
writes:
"In answer to the
unanimous question of
the feminine half of the
Radio audience, the pro-
file is that of Bob Brown at WGR,
whose distinctly friendly and sym-
pathetic personality over the air has
made him a favorite in the two years
he has been before the mike. New
York is Bob's birthplace, but he has
spent the greater part of his twenty-
six years in Buffalo. He holds swim-
ming championship records, likes to
play golf, is adept at boxing and dis-
plays his versatility in his ability at
writing, whether prose or poetry. Radio
is both vocation and avocation for Bob,
and, like the mailman who went on a
hike on his day off, Bob's spare time
is spent knocking about the countryside
in his sport roadster, visiting as many
Radio stations as he can crowd into
each trip. He sings baritone and
strums a mean ukelele. And, oh, yes, a
whisper to Marcella, appearances in
Bob's case are not deceiving — he is just
as personable as he looks and, sur-
prisingly enough, is still single."

While I was over at the NBC I saw
Mr. R e d m o n — by the
way, I spelled his name
wrong last issue. He is
the best looking thing.
This picture doesn't do
him justice because it
only shows what a nice
grin he has and it does
not tell you how fascinating he is. I
heard just in a round about way that
he had a fight with his girl. I don't
see how she had the heart. Somebody
else is just sure to pick him right up,
because he has the most irresistible
eyes. You can hear him on the air
every now and then. But I think he
likes to write better, and his programs
come over the Midwest network.
While I was in the office I decided
I wanted to see just how they sent out
the programs and so I went out to the
room you rarely hear anything about,
and without which you would never
hear all the enchanting voices you like
so well, the control room. Charles Gray
was in charge. Don't you remember,
I told you about him last issue? He is
the one who works the controls at the
opera and makes it possible for you
to get lovely music. Do you know
just this Chicago office alone, not to
speak of all the other NBC offices all
over the United States, gets from 12 to
13,000 telegrams a month, and with one
little flick of a finger Mr. Gray could
control 100 tons. Just imagine! All
the networks are worked with buttons
just like our electric lights, and fancy
what would happen if Marcella, for in-
stance, poked the wrong button.
* * *
If you have an questions you would
like to have answered, please write to
me and I shall be glad to help you get
better acquainted with your Radio
friends. Besides, I love to hear from
you. Remember that Marcella sees all,
hears all and tells everything, so do not
be afraid to acquaint her with any
personal secrets you want broadcast
in this column.
W
Jenkins Discusses Television
(TZamous Scientist Says Visual Broadcasts JVM
Supplement, not Supplant Tomorrow's Programs
By C. Francis Jenkins
Vice-President in Charge of Research Jenkins Television Corporation
IF I remember correctly, the great English novelist, Charles
Dickens, began his book, "A Tale of Two Cities," with a
series of brilliant contrasts intended to impress the reader
with the fact that the period of which he was writing
was one of the utmost confusion, both in Britain and in France.
Now, if I were gifted with Dickens' ability as a writer, I
should set down some more such series, for confusion is un-
questionably the dominant note with regard to the present
status of television. Inasmuch, however, as I am not an author
but a scientist, I shall have
to content myself with a
simple statement to the
effect that television is a
most misrepresented sub-
ject and let it go at that.
Some, who have appar-
ently allowed their enthu-
siasm to get the better of
their good judgment, ve-
hemently assure the public
that television is here and
that it is even now ready
to compete with sound
broadcasting for a share
of its interest. On the other
hand, competent engineers,
speaking on behalf of some
of our most powerful elec-
trical organizations, are
just as vehement in their
assertions that television is
at least five years away.
And, to cap the climax,
some have even gone so
far as to say that television
is a ridiculous impossibility,
and that it will never be
here. Small wonder, then,
that the average layman,
hearing television lauded
to the skies on one hand
and disparaged and even
ridiculed on the other,
should hardly know what
to believe.
The fact remains, how-
that television is a
ct in which the gen-
mblic is intensely in-
ed, not so much
se of its novelty as
>se it looms up as a

I have been asked
e editor of Radio Di-
to make an attempt
Hispel — if such a thing
t ssible — some of the
mists and camouflage
which becloud the issue at
this time. Although this
promises to be no easy
task, I believe that, before
I have finished, I shall have at least given a satisfactory answer
to that pertinent question, "Where do we stand in television?"
IT is my honest opinion that the views held by both classes
of extremists are wholly inconsistent with the true facts
of the case. Television is not — most emphatically not — perfect
at this time, and it is not on the verge of setting itself up as
a rival of sound broadcasting for the affections and the atten-
tion of the Radio public. And, to speak with all frankness, I
do not believe that it ever will. Television, when it does come,
will supplement rather than supplant the excellent efforts on
the part of our sound broadcasting stations to entertain and
enlighten the public.
On the other hand, an unbiased and impartial analysis of the
present status of the art will, I believe, inevitably force one to
the conclusion that television can no longer be classed as a
mere experiment. I submit that television as it stands today,
has achieved a technical development quite comparable to that
of ordinary broadcasting at the time of its debut in November
of 1921. This opinion, may I add, is quite generally held by
competent and disinterested observers.
So much has been written regarding the basic principles of
television that the Radio minded public is generally familiar
with them. Television, as its name implies, is simply "seeing
at a distance," either via
Radio or wire. At the
transmitting end, the sub-
ject must be analyzed,
broken up or dissected into
a number of parallel and
overlapping lines of vary-
i n g luminous intensity.
Usually this is accom-
plished by means of the
so-called scanning disk, a
revolving circular plate
containing a number of
holes so arranged as to
form a spiral or eccentric
curve. In the more pop-
ular form of television
pick-up, the scanning disk
causes a powerful light
source to be reduced to
narrow pencils of light
which sweep across the
subject, line by line, as
each hole comes into
action. When the last line
has been reached, the be-
ginning of the spiral brings
the hole for the top line
into play, and the cycle is
repeated. According to
whether the pencils of light
fall on light or dark spots,
there is a corresponding
reflection of light, since
the subject is otherwise in
darkness. A photoelectric
or light sensitive cell con-
verts the line by line scan-
ning of the subject into a
series of corresponding
electrical values, which are
amplified and impressed
on the carrier wave of the
Radio transmitter. This is
the indirect method of.
pick-up.
SINCE it is quite impos-
sible to have news
events held in darkness for
the benefit of our television
pick-up, another method
has had to be worked out
whereby images in broad
daylight may be scanned.
This is the direct method of pick-up, and only recently has it
been essayed with some degree of experimental success. Here
the subject is fully illuminated by daylight or other unham-
pered source of illumination. However, instead of the photo-
electric or light sensitive cell being free to pick up the reflected
light, as in the method previously described, in this case we
place our photoelectric cell in a dark box or camera. Now we
employ a scanning" disk, with a suitable lens system, so that
the photoelectric cell scans the subject line by line.
At the receiving end, our problem is to take the line-by-line
summary of the subject, as represented in electrical terms, and,
by reproducing the lines in e:cact sequence and individual
intensity, weave an animated image which will be a faithful
replica of that televised at the transmitting end. For this pur-
pose we employ a scanning disk, revolved in perfect step or

commercial television sets.

synchronism with the disk at the transmitting end, together
with a neon lamp or glow tube as the variable source of light.
The neon lamp is a most sensitive electrical mechanism, incor-
porating a plate or plates which glow with a pinkish luminosity
in accordance with the strength of the incoming signal. The
glowing plate or plates are viewed through the whirling holes
in the scanning disk, during a small part of their total circular
sweep. This causes a glowing screen made up of parallel and
overlapping luminous lines, in the absence of a television
signal. As a signal comes in, however, the lines are no longer
uniformly luminous, but rather are luminous and dark through-
out their length, forming a pattern.
SO it is apparent that the television image is really composed
of a series of transmitted parellel and overlapping lines.
Really, at any given instant, the television image is simply a
single dot of light, just as the motion picture image at any
given instant is a still picture. In television our problem is
infinitely more complicated. We must weave an entire picture
with successive dots, in less than a sixteenth of a second. We
simply weave our images with such rapidity that the human
eye, which retains an impression for a scant sixteenth of a
second, cannot follow the process. Television, then, is nothing
more than a new and fascinating form of optical illusion, based
on electrical means and made possible by the inability of the
eye to respond to rapid changes of scene.
Such, briefly, are the means which the modern scientist has
taken to demonstrate that the human eye is a fallible and
readily deceivable mechanism. The basic principles which he
has utilized, however, are very old, being practically coincident
with the earliest attempts to transmit sound through space by
electrical means. Nearly fifty years ago, pioneer television
experimenters were working with scanning disks. They had
conceived the idea of light-sensitive cells, utilizing the element
selenium. They had recognized the necessity of keeping the two
scanning disks in step. They had resorted to the line-by-line
analysis of their subjects. A system of radiovision, patented
by Nipkow in 1884, utilized a selenium cell, an objective lens
and a spirally perforated disk rotating between the cell and the
lens "to dissect the scene."
I mention this with the two-fold idea of correcting the
widespread but erroneous impression that television is dis-
tinctly a modern development and of acknowledging the debt
which the present twes the past. With all due respect to
what the present-day television experimenters have accom-
plished, the reader should bear in mind the fact that theirs
has been the task of compiling and refining the basic technique
originally supplied by the scientists of nearly half a cen-
tury ago.
RECENTLY, television, once considered the mad dream of
the lunatic, has come into good standing as a subject for
research and engineering development. Utilizing the well-
known principles available to all, many workers have engaged
in this field. Baird, a Scotch inventor residing in London,
has made notable progress irf television, refining the scanning
disc technique at the transmitting and the receiving ends to a
considerable degree. Dr. E. F. W. Alexanderson, of the
General Electric company and the Radio Corporation of
America, has made good use of the enormous engineering
facilities at his disposal in refining the usual technique. Like-
wise with Dr. Frank Conrad of the Westinghouse company,
who has worked along the lines of broadcasting television
pictures picked up from standard motion picture film. There
are many other workers both here and abroad, all engaged
in refining the usual standard technique. Perhaps the tele-
vision work of Dr. Frederick Ives, of the American Telephone
& Telegraph company, is the most outstanding in point of
results, but it must be remembered that any worker can
obtain beautiful detail if given a sufficient number of commu-
nication channels, whether through space or over wires. The
question of available communication channels is one which
has seriously handicapped all of us engaged in developing
an economical solution of television.
AS FOR myself, I began experimenting with television in a
serious way back in 1925, and I suppose I enjoy whatever
advantage there may be in an early start. In many respects
my decision to engage in television was a natural climax to
my previous experimental efforts. In 1894 I had designed
and constructed the first motion picture projector, taking
cinematography out of the peep-hole, penny-in-the-slot stage
and placing it in the theater where it might develop into a
leading industry. Subsequently, picture transmission over
wires and Radio engaged my efforts. I turned my earliest
attentions to the facsimile transmission of pictures, maps and
drawings over wires and later by wire. My efforts in this
field were attended by some measure of success, and I was
able to develop a system of broadcasting weather maps to
ships at sea. This technique I placed at the disposal of the
U. S. navy, who made good use of it.
From the transmission of still pictures to that of animated
images was a logical step, and in 1925 I decided to take
it, beginning my experiments with the so-called "Radio
movies" at that time. Like all other experimenters, I at first
made use of the existing technique of television transmission
and reception. It was not long, however, before I found
myself hampered by the impracticability of televising or pick-
ing up my subjects directly. The crude scanning disc and the
small amount of reflected light proved, for a time at least,
formidable barriers, as did also the reception scanning disc of
huge dimensions with its very small image of poor luminosity.
In order to overcome the transmitting difficulties, I resorted
to the use of film rather than the subject direct. In other
words, I simply film my subject in a suitable manner, so as
to obtain a silhouette picture — the figures in black against a
white background. There are no delicate shades or half-tone
values. From the negative I make the necessary number of
positive prints, so that a number of television transmitters
can handle the same subject simultaneously, without the neces-
sity of costly and not altogether practical wire tie-ups. The
positive film is placed in a machine not unlike a standard
motion picture projector. As the film moves along through
the mechanism, a scanning disc causes a powerful pencil of
light to it line by line. Depending on the transparency of
the film, more or less light reaches a photo-electric cell, which
in turn controls an electric current. The electric current is
enormously amplified and placed on the Radio carrier wave
for transmission.
AT THE receiving end, the problems have proved not so
simple to solve. Here my legacy was the unwieldy scan-
ning with its eccentric arrangement of holes, an electric glow
tube or neon lamp with low luminosity, and an image about
one inch square. These are the elements now being employed
by most television experimenters.
In order to gain compactness — obviously, any device with a
three-foot scanning disc can never prove attractive for home
use— I developed the scanning drum which can be as small
as six inches in diameter. In this drum I have placed a
special form of neon lamp with four plates instead of the
usual one or two. These plates are arranged to flash in
rotation, corresponding to the first, second, third and fourth
quarter of the drum holes, at the proper time, so as to
weave the luminous image made up of so many lines. Fur-
thermore^ in order to conserve the small amount of light
available in the first place, I have made use of light-conducting
rods from close proximity to the glowing plates, out to the
holes in the scanning disc. With these details worked out, it
remained only to provide a suitable optical system with
reflecting mirror and magnifying glass, so as to produce an
apparent screen image about six inches square.
For many months back, I have been engaged in broadcasting
our Radio movies from two transmitters in our Washington
laboratories, namely, one signal on short waves, for a general
coverage of the nation, and the other on practically broadcast
wave lengths, for local lookers-in. Also, I have encouraged
boys and grownups to participate in television reception, even
going to the extent of supplying television kits at cost price,
so that with an old electric motor, anyone could tune in my
Radio signals at an investment of about $2.50! All this has
been done in the firm belief that television, as with broadcast-
ing, will have to be a co-operative development, with many
taking part.
WITH this brief description of my own system, I shall bring
to a close my resume of the present status of the television
art. It goes without saying that television, as it stands todrv
is far, far from perfect. There are many and serious problem
to be solved, not only in the matter of the television presen
tation itself, but also in the direction of detail, illuminatioi
synchronization, and finally, the establishment of a nation
wide service for our potential lookers-in. The solutions of al
these problems, however, are in capable hands and they ma}
be expected as a matter of evolution. In my humble opinion
it is utterly ridiculous to discredit television on the ground
that it is not now perfect.
Those who argue against it on the ground of imperfection
are in a class with those who scoffed at the steam engine of
Watt, the locomotive of Stevenson and the crude airplane of
the Wright brothers. _ Yetit is a matter of history that these
inventions prevailed in spite" of all efforts to discredit them
and that they have become integral parts of our civilization.
And so, I believe, it will be with television. The service
which television is capable of bringing to the masses of this
world is too patent and too vital to be dismissed with mere
adverse comment.
What is more, I cannot agree with those who claim that
television is going to come as a result of the effor'cs of any
single man or organization. The thing is too vast and too
complex for such a fate as that. Television, like Radio
broadcasting, will reach its ultimate development through a
nation-wide pooling of ideas, technical brains, financial
resources and, if I may say so, the hearty and intelligent
co-operation of the amateurs. Radio broadcasting owes its
present status, in large measure, to the unsung efforts of
thousands of plain people who do not share the dignity and
distinction that comes with an "E.E."
51
And what is the ultimate in television? That, indeed, is a
most difficult question to answer, for there is a vast difference
between the ideal and the practical. We hope, in the near
future, to be able to work with channels of sufficient width to
permit the transmission and reception of pictures incorporat-
ing a reasonable amount of detail, but it will be a long time
before we attain anything like the crystal clear sharpness of
the motion picture. We are working on better light sources
— tubes which, while retaining the extreme sensitivity of the
present neon lamps, will be capable of infinitely greater illu-
mination, and with projecting systems which will permit us
to flash our image on a fair size screen so that it may be
viewed by entire theater audiences. And we have high hopes
of perfecting a camera for outside work which will permit
the picking up of persons or events without the use of the
motion picture film as at present.
Some day, perhaps, in the not too distant future, our theater
audience will be able to enjoy instantaneous and fleeting
glimpses of important news events through the medium of
synchronized television and broadcast productions. And,
finally, there is something more than a remote possibility
that through the medium of an international television serv-
ice, we here in America will be able to see the coronation of
the King of England, the Epsom Derby, the inauguration of
the president of France and many other events which we now
know only through the medium of the newspapers. Who,
indeed, knows?
{Subjoined to the above article written by Mr. Jenkins especially
for Radio Digest is a report of a broadcast on_ the same sub-
ject which he made from WFBM, Indianapolis, January 22,
1929.— Editor.)
MY initial activity if-P
in this develop- If ',
ment began about fif- Ij
teen years ago, and j
has been the subject 1
of active study ever 1
since, except for time ij
out for war work.
Immediately after i|
the Armistice, I set 1
up a laboratory de- 1]
voted exclusively to 1
this development; B]
took on some enthu- B
siastic young folks; Ij
and after practicing |
on still picture trans- j
mission for some Bi
months, our first |
public demonstration 1
of radiovision and 11
radiomovies was 1
made June 13, 1925.
This attainment re-
ceived rather wide
publicity, and the
favorable comment of scien-
tific and technical authority,
but still the public remained
indifferent.
But eighteen months later the demonstration by the Bell
Telephone company of wire transmission of living images from
Washington to New York City put the seal of approval on
previous predictions of the possibilities in this new art, and
stimulated activities therein to a surprising degree.
For ourselves, as Radio is a two-ended proposition in which
there is no occasion for receivers unless someone is broad-
casting, I decided it was time to begin broadcasting.
So on July 2nd last year, 1928, we began regular scheduled
broadcasting of radiomovies. We chose motion pictures
because of the difficulty of getting interesting performers into
our studio on scheduled hours with certainty. Judging from
our experience of the past few months, I think it is likely that
visual Radio will develop very much along the lines audible
broadcasting did.
It will be remembered that audio broadcasting was begun
by an amateur who set up a crude transmitter in the corner
of his garage, broadcasting first from talking machine records,
and later from singers in person standing before a home-made
carbon button microphone. Those who picked up his broad-
cast entertainment did so with Radio receivers they had made
themselves, out of a bit of galena, a cat-whisker, two pie
plates, and some coiled hay wire.
BIG business became interested in Radio as a means of
entertainment only after the amateur had demonstrated
the tremendous possibilities inherent in this crude toy.
As I had the honor of amateur standing in Radio, and know-
ing what splendid things the amateurs had already done in
Radio, it very naturally occurred to me to invite them to join
us in the development of television.
And so we began radiomovies broadcasting on short wave
lengths and without previous announcement. It is quite likely
that no one got our first broadcasts, perhaps not even our first
week's broadcast. Possibly no one tried. But eventually
fellow amateurs came to understand that we were broadcast-
ing on a regular schedule which they could depend upon with
as much certainty as on a railway time table.
And then things began to happen. Boys and girls all over
the country, science teachers in colleges and universities, and
others less easily placed, began writing in to us for information
on how to build receivers, where to get scanning disks and
neon lamps, and with detailed questions regarding the hundreds
of little tricks of technique which go to make up successful
reception.
This activity, as I have explained, began only a few months
ago, but tonight many thousands of amateurs will tune in on
W3XK with certainty, proudly exhibiting the results to daddy,
mother, and sister Mary, or perhaps it is somebody else's sister
Mary, doubly proud as he explains that he built his receiver
himself.
And after the show he writes us in typical amateur code
language with an enthusiasm which is contagious. _ And it is
from these reports that we get the suggestions which enable
us to improve our processes and our mechanisms.

De Forest and Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, Jr.
AM an enthusiastic believer in the cleverness of the ama-
teur and the probabilities of surprising development when
he takes up radiovision as an avocation after the day's work
at a regular task.
In spite of the universal asknowledgment of the ingenuity
and cleverness of the American boy in discovering valuable
communication
channels in the sci-
entifically scorned
short-wave Radio
bands, a noted Radio
engineer was quoted
last week as saying
that "the govern-
ment should confine
its television licenses
to experienced and
responsible organi-
zations, such as the
Radio Corporation of
America," I am still
quoting — "f o r only
such organizations
can be depended up-
on to uphold high
ideals of service in
television."
That gentleman
has sadly neglected
the history of great
inventions. He has
" -~2 overlooked the fact
that no great labora-
tory, despite its in-
estimable contributions to sci-
ence and engineering, has ever
yet brought forth a great,
revolutionary invention upon
which a new industry has been founded.
Professor Morse, a portrait painter, invented the telegraph,
and the system of dots and dashes by which we communicate
electrically; it was Dr. Bell, a teacher of the deaf, who gave
us the telephone; Mr. Sholes, a farmer, tinkered up the type-
writer; Mr. Berliner, a clothing salesman, gave us the disc
talking machine, and Mr. Tainter, a lawyer's clerk, the wax
cylinder phonograph; Mrs. Jacquard, a dressmaker, invented
the Jacquard loom which gives us beautiful figured fabrics;
Mr. Lanston, a groceryman, made the monotype casting
machine; Dr. Dunlop, a physician, built the first pneumatic
tire; Mr. Eastman, a bank clerk, gave us the portable kodak
hand camera; and Rev. Goodman, a country preacher, the film
roll used therein; the Wright brothers, bicycle repair men,
worked out the flying machine; and Mr. Jenkins, a stenog-
rapher, invented the motion picture projecting machine used
in every theater the world over to this very day.
IT has always been a poor man first to see these things, and
as a rule the more magnificent the vision the poorer the man.
_ And, by the way, that is right comforting, too, for I some-
times think that perhaps I myself may yet do something
worth while if only I stay poor enough, long enough.
So my answer to the contention that radiomovies and radio-
vision for home entertainment may be expected only from a
great organization is to refer to the record of great inventions,
and to cite the thousands of amateurs who are now nightly
watching with fascination our Radio pantomime pictures in
their home-made receivers, as little Gens-Marie performs tricks
with her bouncing ball; Miss Constance hangs up her doll

No Border Lines
MEAN people sometimes have a habit of slurring, and
making scurrillous remarks pertaining to the physical
charms of Radio artists. It all is manifestly unfair,
because, just look, here on this page we have four
very beautiful young women who are particularly popular
with Radio au-
diences. - , -
And, turn
right or left,
you will find
many charm-
ing faces
through our
album and our
feature pages.
The lady in
broad brimmed
hat and fairly
bubbling over
with good
spirits is Ethel
of the Ethel
and Harry
team at WHK.
Her full name
is Ethel
Hawes. Any
Ohio listener
will tell you
that Ethel and
Harry have a
very precise
faculty of get-
ting down to
the everyday
life of the av-
erage married
couple. They
have little tiffs,
m a ke wise
cracks to each
other, go
through the
domestic mill
with i t s daily
grist of trials,
t ribulations
and rifts of
sunshine.
It's all so
natural and
convincingthat
thousands of
listeners have
written to
WHK asking
if Ethel and
Harry are
really married,
or are they
just play-act-
ing.
Well, are
they?
Hush, don't tell a soul. They are married.
Oh, positively, but NOT to each other.
Ethel writes the little stories that they broad-
cast every day. And that Ethel giggle — lots of
girls try to imitate her! Just to hear that one
little giggle is enough to drive an ordinary case
of blues to the bottom of the sea where all
blues belong.
Did you ever hear Ethel and Harry do a job of
papering the house over the Radio? It's better than
any vaudeville sketch you ever saw on the stage, and
some listeners have been known to laugh themselves
into hysterics.
The sweet senoritas at the bottom of the page are visitors
to American audiences from our neighbor republic below
the Rio Grande. They are famous in their own country
as El Trio Garnica Ascencio. In fact, they attracted so
much attention that an American impresario heard of
them, made inquiries and engaged them to come to New
York for a series of phonograph records. On their way to
the great American metropolis they visited Cuba and sang
at the principal theatres throughout the island, winding up
their tour with one triumphal engagement at the Encanto
theatre in Havana.
Among the many Spanish airs which they have brought to
American audiences is "Ojos Triestes" (Sad Eyes), which
promises to become a national hit in a very short time. While -
in New York they have been heard over the National Broad-
casting company stations. The Trio Garnica Ascencio do their
share to refute such ill mannered imputations that vocal artists
do not lean toward excess pulchritude.
That women have a place in the Radio picture and are as
versatile as men is apparent when one considers that Ethel
can write playlets, home and human interest stories in addition
to Radio continuities. She has been
active _ in newspaper work in Cleve-
land, is a home loving body and a
popular Radio entertainer.
The Mexican maids inject the dash
and _ fire of Old Mexico into their
singing, and have been such popular
Radio artists that a long time engage-
ment is before them in the United
States.
Already we are much indebted to
our sister republic to the south for
many new queens and nobles in the
revered circles of our screen royalty.
Our great opera companies and our
orchestras from the wildest jazz to
symphonic bear the names of Mex-
ican artists. Is it not time that we
should reasonably expect something
extraordinary for Radio audiences?
Welcome to the United States and
welcome to the American Radio

and your pretty faces are your coun-
try's ambassadors (or should we say

soulful melodies of your country.

9£e Entertains 40,000,000 Fans
Service and Best Programs Available, Are the Ambition of
"Deac" Aylesworth, NBC Chief
By Gene Mulholland
LIFETIME of concentration on the job at hand has
made Merlin Hall Aylesworth president of the Na-
tional Broadcasting company at the age of 40. This
same life philosophy also is held responsible for mak-
lg that concern the biggest of its kind in the world.
Mr. Aylesworth reversed the Horace Greeley maxim and
ime out of the west to make good. Rather he was brought
it of the west — proof of the theory he has always held,
riat the man in demand is the man too busy doing his own
)b to look around for another one.
"I've always been too busy to worry a lot about what was
ring to happen to me in the future," he has been quoted as
ying. This habit of doing the present job first led him
rom an obscure law office, collecting bad debts for a western
junty medical society, to the executive desk in the NBC
lilding at 711 Fifth avenue, New York.
Temporary stations along his highway of success have been
le chairmanship of the Larimer
inty, Colo., republican organiza-
)n; the executive office of the
jlorado Public Utility commis-
>n; the Utah Power and Light
)mpany; the offer, which was de-
lined, of the republican nomina-
an for governor of Colorado, and
New York office as managing
irector of the National Electric
right association.
His policy of "the public be
pleased" has piloted the NBC to
the forefront and made of it the
biggest business of its kind in the
world during the two years he has
been at the executive helm. And
he still has maintained his reputa-
tion as a "regular fellow" among
associates and subordinates alike.
WHEN Mr. Aylesworth took
over the presidency of the
NBC he outlined a policy of pleas-
ing the public, embodying three
major points. "First," he said,
"we'll find the programs giving the
fullest measure of service to the
public; next, we'll establish the best
facilities for such service, and,
lastly, we will make the entire structure self-sustaining. Obvi-
ously, if broadcasting is to survive, it must stand on its own
legs."
The entire NBC organization has been built on these three
fundamentals. Programs for the housekeeper, for the farmer,
the churchgoer and the politician are daily features through
most of the sixty stations affiliated with the company, together
with dozens of broadcasts appealing to the public in general.
That the public has been pleased is evidenced by the esti-
mated potential Radio audience of 40,000,000 persons today.
"And the public is going to be pleased with the National
Broadcasting company as long as I find it possible to please
it. Those three fundamentals are as much effective now
as they were the day they were announced," Mr. Aylesworth
says.
"We have just about realized our earlier ambition to give
Radio listeners in all sections of the country every event of
national importance. We will continue to do this and at the
same time provide everything that is worthwhile in music
and other entertainment," the NBC executive will tell you.
When he took control of the then newly organized Radio
broadcasting company, Mr. Aylesworth was variously termed
"Czar of Radio," the "Radio Regent," and the "High Com-
missioner of the Air." Today those terms are practically
forgotten, while the nickname "Deac," given him as a youth,
still sticks among his friends and associates.
DURING his school and college days the Radio official
was known merely as "Deac" to all with whom he came
in contact. He liked the name then and he likes it today.
He remains the crisp, businesslike, but informal person he
was in his school days when he organized debating societies,
managed athletic teams and directed glee clubs.
The nickname was bestowed in his early youth when the
" SCIENCE some day even may find
kj a way to bring food into the
kitchen bit by bit via Radio, and there
reassemble it for our consumption — that
sounds like nonsense, but Radio itself
was nonsense not so long ago. To say
that we are at the end of development of
Radio, or any other art, would be ab-
surd." Thus President Aylesworth, 40,
with the vision characteristic of his
years, speculates upon the future of
Radio, pointing out at the same time
that "the men who think the most boldly
in the present age are the most apt to
be right." If Radio justifies its right to
exist, it should be an enriching influence
in the lives of the people, and he seeks
to bring about this condition.
son of the Rev. Barton O. Aylesworth played with other
youngsters in his home town of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Early
in life the family migrated to Colorado, where the father
deserted the pulpit for the school and later became presi-
dent of the Colorado Agricultural college.
The son received his higher education at the college of
his father, The University of Colorado, The University of
Wisconsin, Denver University and Columbia University. He
not only ranked high as a student, but gained a large follow-
ing for his work with the campus organizations.
When he was 24 years old he embarked on his business
career, his first job was the collection of bad debts for the
Fort Collins, Colo., Medical society. Records of the organiza-
tion for that period show that few delinquents escaped his
attention. His court record was impressive and judges and
lawyers alike came to know that when "Deac" Aylesworth
tried a case that case would be presented fully prepared and
with strong legal logic to back up
his points.
He jumped from law to politics,
becoming chairman of the Larimer
County Republican organization.
His success there was immediate,
and it was there that Mr. Ayles-
worth developed his desire for con-
tact with people. This desire led
him to heed the call of the Colorado
Public Utility commission and he
accepted the appointment as chair-
man of that organization in 1915.
He was then 28 years old. He re-
mained there three years before re-
signing to plunge yet deeper into
public relations work as assistant
to the vice-president of the Utah
Light and Power company.
I
T WAS with the Public Utility
commission, however, that his
career as director of business
enterprises was really launched, and
so intense was his interest in his
work that he declined the repub-
lican nomination for governor of
his state.
The National Electric Light
association brought him out of the
west from his Utah office and made him managing director.
He was told that the job was as big as he cared to make it,
and he made it so big that there was no question as to his
ability when his name was mentioned for the presidency
when the National Broadcasting company was founded.
Considerable persuasion was necessary, however, before
Mr. Aylesworth could see that the new place offered greater
opportunity for public service — now a part of his very life
— than the one he held.
Although his work with the light association — which did
not confine itself strictly to lighting problems but extended
into practically all branches of the power industry — had
been crowned with much success, he did not feel that his
job was done. R. H. Ballard, president, had brought him
from Utah to reorganize the association. The reorganization
had been accomplished in such fashion as to make the
N. E. L. A. the leading body of its kind in the world, but
its managing director had grown with it and he still felt there
was work to do there.
His duties in "bringing up" the lighting group led him to
practically every section of the United States and gave him
many contacts with the big men of the country. Among
these were Owen D. Young, of the General Electric com-
pany; Gen. Guy E. Tripp, of the Westinghouse company,
and others associated with Radio broadcasting. They "talked
him into" taking the proffered place.
ASSOCIATES say Mr. Aylesworth has "licked his job"
in making the National Broadcasting company the most
important and largest broadcasting system in the world. But
he says he is still learning it, and will as long as Radio broad-
casting continues to grow. "And don't think that Radio
broadcasting won't grow for years and years to come," he
declared in a recent interview.
u
The executive scouts as "absurd" the idea that Radio broad-
casting may some day replace the newspaper or magazine.
"Nothing ever takes the place of anything — a new invention
only enhances the value of other things," he declared. He
also believes that there is always something new, and that
the men who think the most boldly in the present age are
the most apt to be right.
"For instance, science some day even may find a way to
bring food into the kitchen bit by bit via Radio and there
reassemble it for our consumption — that sounds like nonsense,
but Radio itself was nonsense not so long ago. To say that
we are at the end of the development of Radio, or any other
art, would be absurd."
In the face of a statement that the modern Radio receiving
set is so nearly fool-proof that almost anybody gets good
results from it, Mr. Aylesworth once listed the three most
common mistakes made in handling Radio receivers and five
suggestions for improved reception. The three mistakes listed
were: Not learning to tune the set properly in order to shut
out "cross talk," forcing the last possible volume of sound
from the set and careless
handling of the very sensi- *mi«iammximimmimmmmmmmmmmmi
tive and highly technical
instrument.
First among the five sug-
gestions for improved Radio
reception was to keep the
batteries adequately
charged. The others were:
(1) burn the tube filaments
at the specified voltage, (2)
keep antenna and leaders
tight, (3) keep all connec-
tions tight and clean, and (4)
last, but not least,
leave the set alone and
call in a competent
repair man whenever
anything goes wrong.
AS A MATTER of
fact, according to
the New York NBC
official: "We are
just beginning t o
learn what there is
to know about the
Radio business. We
are able "to gauge the
size of our audience,
to a certain extent, by
the number of receiv-
ers known to be in v.
use. New York state,
with the largest state
population, leads in number
of sets in operation. The
fewer sets are located in
states like New Mexico and
Nevada, where, according to
population, there is prob-
ably a larger number of re-
ceivers per person than in
some of the more densely
populated centers.
"So far as has been deter-
mined the male and female
audience is about the same.
Naturally, on special events
like baseball games or big
fights the male listeners are
in the majority, but per-
haps only slightly at_ that.
The woman of today is be-
ginning to learn via Radio
broadcasting what is the
attraction that keeps the
wage earner downtown to
see the fight card.
"On the other hand, many programs broadcast during the
day are directed solely toward the feminine ear. But the
average program is a family affair, and we strive for enter-
tainment that will appeal directly to the entire circle as they
are grouped about the home fireside," Mr. Aylesworth
declared.
It is the hope of Mr. Aylesworth that Radio broadcasting
will make the people of the United States feel like "they've
been somewhere," give them wider experience and make their
lives richer. It is his aim to produce programs that will
make the Texas farmer or Kentucky mountaineer feel in
touch with the wisest, the most talented and the highest-
thinking folks of the world. And at the same time keep them
informed of the everyday events of their time and posted
on all world affairs.
THE NBC chief believes that there will always be some-
thing new to do, especially where Radio broadcasting is
concerned and he works as hard today as he did three
years ago when he took the reins of the great company
at a time when he was "barely able to tune in a station."
It is his desire to keep not only abreast of the times, but a
thought ahead of them whenever possible. To this end much
of his time is spent in study and in contact with various
persons connected with the technical departments of his
organization.
His tremendous energy, product of almost perfect health,
enables him to keep going at top speed long after persons
with lesser initiative and persistence have sought rest from
any particular task. "Good physical condition is the founda-
tion for a good job, for without good health the brain will not
function," he said in an interview shortly after he was named
president of the company.
Mr. Aylesworth not only preaches good physical condition,
he practices it. Only recently has he deserted tennis for
golf. At the net game he was considered very good. At golf
"he's not quite so good yet,
but watch him a year from
now," a friend once re-
marked after a tour of the
links.
One of the reasons ad-
vanced by Mr. Owen D.
Young for engaging Mr.
Aylesworth was the latter's
ability to make and hold
friends. Bruce Barton once
said: "The power to form
friendships, which is nothing
more nor less than the habit
of showing one's self
friendly, is one of the
great powers that lift
men up. 'Deac' Ayles-
worth has it."

N ASSET brought
from his early
days as a preacher's

siders all-important —

worth spends little
time worrying about
the crumbling and de-
cay of business. To
h i m the possibilities
of tomorrow are thrill-
ing rather than other-
wise— when he thinks
about tomorrow at all.
And the president of the
National Broadcasting com-
pany attempts to fill his
organization with men hav-
ing that same faith. The
young man who comes to
his desk looking for a job
must have poise and balance,
and be able to give a com-
mon sense reason for his de-
sire for that particular job.
They must be honest, and
there is little chance for
them if they display evi-
dence of "flipness" and conn
tempt for the ordinary
things of life.
"While I have nothing
against intellectuality and
am one of the most devout
worshippers at the shrine of
intelligence, I realize that
about 99 per cent of all suc-

men and women, would be classed as Babbits by the super-
cynics, who lead the super-egoists of intelligentsia," he
declared recently.
He thinks the young man who exhibits symptoms of con-
tempt for the so-called Babbit type and his methods is start-
ing in business with a handicap and will be difficult to teach.
His opinion is that, although modern business is crying for
good executives, there is little room at the top for the
youngster who feels himself to be the mental superior of
his elders or above ordinary modes of living and conservative
lines of thought.

6^an Mail Startles Coe Glade
QOVER BEAUTY Surprised by Shower
of Postal Applause at Radio Debut
OH YES, indeed, the gloriously beautiful dark-eyed
maiden on the Radio Digest cover this issue is a real
girl! And do not imagine for a moment that Mr. Roy
F. Best, the artist, exaggerated her beauty one iota.
And just to verify that statement behold the photo of Miss
Glade on this page!
When it was decided to have a singer from the Chicago
Civic opera on the Radio Digest cover the artist and a repre-
sentative of the magazine conferred with the National Broad-
casting company and the Chicago Civic Opera company
representatives as to the most 'logical candidate.
The artist was du-
bious.
"These opera sing-
ers," he said, "are apt
to be stout; that is to
say, almost fat. Do
you really think we
could find a singer
suitable for a cover?"
"I'll show you one
who is not fat and
never will be fat," re-
plied the opera repre-
sentative. "And more
than that, she is
young, a brilliant star
with a wonderful fu-
ture, and if you do
not admit she is good
looking, then I have
my doubts of your
good judgment as an
artist."
And with that re-
mark the gentleman
of the opera produced
a folder of photo-
graphs of which the
view on this page was
one.
"That's Carmen —
Coe Glade as Car-
men!"
"A peach ! ' ' ex-
claimed the magazine
representative.
"Perfect!" ejaculated
Mr. Best. "When can
I see her?"
"Can I go, too?"
asked the magazine
man.
An appointment was
made and a week
later the two callers
waited timidly at Miss
Coe's door in the
Congress hotel. It
was a dim corridor
and there was a misty
twilight in the room
as a slim, big-eyed
young woman opened
the door.
But the eyes were
smiling and there was
a softly warm smile
on the lips as Miss
Coe graciously ex-
tended her hand and
admitted the two rather awed adventurers into the sacred
precincts of her private room.
For a moment it seemed just a little hard to approach the
object of the call.
"Of course," she said, "I was expecting you. Mr. Clayton
told me you would be here. Perhaps you would like to see
some of my photographs. I have some very nice ones taken
by a photographer in Florida who seems to understand how
to make pictures that please me. But that may be because I
am so happy when I am in Florida. I think it is wonderful
there. And you would love it, too, Mr. Best. Oh, yes, you

to make sure that she is <* real girl and not an artist's fancy.
would, I know. There is such a wealth of color. You know
what Innes did. And the water, the trees, the clouds, the
beaches — sometimes you seem to float in an atmosphere of
pure aqua-marine. Dear me, the telephone — please excuse."
She flew to the telephone. In a moment she was back again.
She brought an armful of photos. Mr. Best selected half a
dozen from which he proposed to compose his preliminary
sketches. And then came the adieus. Afterward he went
back to the dimly lighted room when there was the fleck of a
waning sun that seemed to seep its way in, touching with
radiant fingers her cheek and pressing back purple shadows
that reveled in her
raven hair.
Letters from the
Radio listeners have
told of Coe Glade's
success. Her Radio
debut was in the op-
era Carmen on the
opening night of the
Civic opera. She sang
the loveliest arias
from the stirring
work of Bizet. And
the postal applause
that followed from
the millions who had
heard over the great
network of the Na-
tional Broadcasting
company almost
frightened her. She
had not had such an
experience before.
And as she appeared
in subsequent broad-
casts there came even
a greater deluge of con-
gratulatory messages
from an appreciative
Radio audience.
On December 23,
as the result of the
mail plea, Miss Glade
was given the Carmen
role and handled it in
such a manner that
she won unanimous
praise from the critics
who attended the per-
formance.
"She is the kind of
a Carmen that makes
the lights seem to be
turned up a bit when
she comes on the
stage and the music
to sound a little more
golden," wrote one
critic of her perform-
ance. "She likewise
has exactly the kind
of voice that Bizet
must have had in
mind when he wrote
the score, a dusky
mezzo-soprano that
can glow warmly or
snarl chillingly, and
do either with equal
surety and intensity.
"In fact, when you try to itemize her qualifications for the
part, you find that she has probably more than anyone since
the time that Maria Gay was a debutante. Her interpretation
is a youthful Carmen, but she would seem to have been born
with a comprehensive sense of the stage; a naive Carmen at
times but she has the faculty of doing everything certainly
and yet with an appearance of deft and carefree ease. She is
good to look upon and sang the part angelically, and she
created an illusion."
Others commented both upon her voice and the fire Miss

GJHE "Girl Ideal"
GQJ'ms Dickason
GLOBE Trotter and Author Carries Diamond
Purchased in Burma Five Years Before
Meeting Sarah Rorer While Working on Manu-
script of His Latest Book
DETERMINED to remain emphatically sin-
gle, a vow which he kept during six
cruises around the world, Deane H. Dicka-
son returned to his native land a short
time ago, met the girl of his heart, Miss Sarah
Crawford Rorer, and was married December 27.
Five years ago, while in Burma, Dickason bought
a diamond for what he termed, "the girl ideal," and
after going to Colorado to write a book, he suddenly
and unexpectedly came upon the girl. Early in the
year the young married couple sailed
from New York aboard the Resolute,
to be gone five months.
Dickason's most recent book, Ports
o' Call, was completed a few months
ago, and it will be published in the
spring. Within its pages he has set
forth his experiences while cruising
about the world.
Miss Rorer, a senior at the Univer-
sity of Oregon, spent the summer in
Colorado, returning later to her home
in Eugene, Ore. She is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Rorer, her
father being president of a bank in
Eugene. Dickason is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. D. H. Dickason, formerly
of Denver, and his father is special
agent in charge of the United States
Department of Justice now stationed
at Butte, Mont.
Before leaving this country with his
bride, Dickason purchased a home site
above Oakland and Berkeley, over-
looking the Golden Gate, where he
and his wife will live upon their return
to this country.
Dickason is a Radio favorite, lec-
turer and globe trotter.
Young couple set off on long
marital cruise to many inter-
esting points along journey
of life. Few lecturers are
known to Radio audiences
around the world as is Mr.
Dickason.

WHEN the idea was conceived that Prescott should have
a broadcasting station, it was looked upon as having a
champagne taste with a beer pocketbook. Nevertheless the
idea burnt constantly in the minds of the optimists. They
collected data; they talked and received discouraging setbacks,
but they persevered until their dreams came true, and promi-
nent among this go-getting little group was Lome Knight
who worked untiringly by applying gratis his electrical expe-
rience. The fascination of broadcasting held this little group
like a magnetic force because it opened up new channels for
the inquisitive mind, and finally the birth of the idea took
place in February, 1925, and it was christened CFLC (in-
terpreted locally as "Canada's Foremost Little Community").
Like most youngsters, CFLC was mischievous and annoy-
ing, but gradually it began to know better. People like
CFLC because it is original, and serves the public.

^nique Features Over WTMJ
^AN ANNOUNCER from College Footlights, a German
Zither Player and a Girl Organist Add to These Programs
A RADIO history which extends over seven years, and
which started with occasional programs broadcast over
the old WAAK station, at that time the only broadcast-
ing station in Milwaukee, down to the present when
they have their own station and an array of talent which
would do credit to any Radio studio, is the development of
the Milwaukee Journal's Radio activities in the broadcasting
field.
Radio audiences everywhere know and appreciate the wide
variety of entertainment and instruction they have available
through this station, WTMJ. The Journal has been particu-
larly successful in its efforts at getting to-
gether a group of artists whose personality
projects itself well over the microphone.
In selecting "Russ" Winnie as announcer
for WTMJ, a new departure was made in
choosing a young man who had starred in
amateur college dramatic productions and
thus has the well trained voice and finish of a
Did you one night recently hear an announcement of
strange articulation come over WTMJ that perhaps you did
understand, and perhaps you didn't? If you did understand
you know what it was all about. If you didn't understand
what was said you certainly had no difficulty in understand-
ing the unique zither music which followed the announcement
made in German by Herr
Chris Deutsch — the only
artist who announces in
German.
Herr Deutsch plays
old German folk songs
good speaker, but, at the same time, having been graduated
from the University of Wisconsin only a little over a year ago,
retains the zest and pep which a youthful viewpoint gives
to news.
From the Southwest, a land famous for peaches, Margaret
Starr, the studio's Official organist and accompanist, came to
WTMJ, and those who know her personally as well as those
who feel acquainted with her from hearing her lovely music,
feel that, in Margaret Starr, the Southwest lived up to its
reputation.
Miss Starr is a person of sunshine and rain. In other
words, she is exceptionally versatile. At one moment she is
feeling frightfully soulful when she accompanies some singer
through the strains of a sad, sad song. The next moment
she's all smiles and gaiety as she plays' the latest rollicking
musical hits. Nor is Miss Starr accompanist only. She is
heard in recital a mere three times daily from WTMJ, so
numerous have been the requests for the delightful way she
makes her golden-voiced organ "talk" to her audiences.
ABOVE is Russ Winnie, who
brought his college diploma
and experience in amateur theat-
ricals with him when he came to
WTMJ as announcer. At the left
is Margaret Starr. Although she
seems but a slip of a girl, Miss Starr
does great things on WTMJ's huge
pipe organ, both as soloist, in which
role she is heard three times daily,
and as accompanist.
and melodies on his zither in a way that has endeared him to
the hearts of his American listeners as well as those who
hail from the Fatherland.
Myrtle Spangenberg reserves her hour every afternoon ex-
cept Sunday for "Buddies' Hour," when she sings songs re-
quested by the World War veterans at Soldiers' Home, near
Milwaukee, and at Resthaven, another hospital for veterans
at Waukesha, Wisconsin.
As you know, there's a power behind every throne. At
WTMJ there are two powers — William Benning, the studio
musical director, and "BCL," the radio editor of the Milwau-
kee Journal, who is also director of the broadcasting station.
"Bill," as his radio audience and Milwaukee friends call
Mr. Benning, broadcasts piano recitals and directs the aug-
mented WTMJ orchestra, as well as arranges for all musical
numbers sent over the air from this station.
"BCL," or Mr. Hertel, used to give cleverly entertaining
pianologues. Now that the press of other duties leaves him no
time for appearing before the microphone, BCL manages the
station. Occasionally he gets an hour or two to sleep.

What Innovations Portend
By Maurice Wetzel
IS RADIO broadcasting soon to scrape an acquaintance
with Old Man Efficiency and Old Man Economy? If so,
does that mean we are to have any radical changes in
the manner of presenting programs?
Having made a study of this problem for some years,
the Radio Digest has asked me to forecast this phase of the
Radio of Tomorrow as I see it. Those indefatigable twins,
Efficiency and Economy, have been stalking the present
profligate order of things and I believe we are on the eve
of great improvements. I believe great feature Radio pro-
grams are to be produced in much the same manner as
great feature photoplay films — perhaps even far more costly
in the original production than present day programs but
available to every broadcaster in the land and,' incidentally,
available to every listener in the land.
By eliminating the prodigious telephone tolls that pay for
a nightly transcontinental criss-cross of wire service the great
producing organizations will be able to employ the best of
operatic and theatrical talent in making wax or film electrical
transcripts. There will be no monopoly of service. Those
who now are producing the finest programs will doubtless
continue producing the finest programs under the new system,
but there will be an open market with competition that will
force all production of programs to a high standard.
When Orlando R. Marsh originated the system of using a
microphone as a stylus to cut a transcript he made a long
stride toward the refinement of the Radio program as I see
it for tomorrow. Other very recent refinements have made it
possible to utilize these ultra perfected media for electrical
reproduction with an excellence that is practically flawless.
The talking pictures have helped in this way. One of the very
best of these reproducing machines designed primarily for
the picture theater has been modified with still further refine-
ments for broadcasting. It is a recent invention and perhaps
owes its primary success to the application of new ideas in
recording processes and thus eliminating the magnification
of friction sounds. Experts even have failed to detect the
electrical reproduction of this device from direct broad-
casting. In fact I assume to say that a thorough and fair
test with the best of wire transmission compared to electrical
transcription you will find the latter method with today's
latest facilities far more satisfactory.
There is, to my notion, a close analogy between Radio broad-
casting and the motion picture industry. Of course in Radio,
sound is the only vehicle, and even when Radio-vision is
perfected the audible part will still predominate, because
ultimately, Radio-vision will be the out-growth of broadcasting
as we know it today.
RADIO station directors are now facing the problems that
confronted the motion picture producers during the begin-
ning of that profession. The limitations of Radio must be
recognized as were the physical restrictions of the movie.
Whatever effects the Radio impresario may develop, what-
ever ideas he may wish to convey, whatever "stage setting"
he may construct in the studio, in the loud speaker, or in the
listener's mind, his thoughts must necessarily find their
means of communication in sound, and sound alone, until
such time as Radio-vision is a reality for the masses.
All this is patent, but I mention it to call attention to the
fact, that just as there are tricks in the manufacture of movie
films, so will there be subterfuge in the weavings of the Radio
loom. If Through Venice in a Gondola is the presentation
to be broadcast, the unseen audience will hear the dull thuds
of the pole against the side of the craft, while the gondolier,
singing in native tongue, pilots his passengers through the
canals. Other boats pass with a gentle swish of the water,
a guitar is heard in the distance — it is a young swain serenad-
ing under a balcony up ahead; the gondola ripples toward
him, the music is louder, he is playing "Funiculi Funicula,"
while the tourists stop to listen. Then perhaps they pass a
restaurant where Tony is singing, or perchance the old white-
haired 'cellist is giving a lesson in his studio 'neath the shadow
of the Bridge of Sighs.
True, all this could de done with the proper acoustic effects,
in the studio — it all has been broadcast very successfully.
True, also could the Photophone and the Movietone send its
recording equipment over to Venice, and with proper directors
and producers "take-down" the whole succession of scenes.
True, once recorded on the side of the film or on a Vitaphone
record, the sounds alone could be broadcast by any trans-
Experts Predict Perfect
Television Sets Soon
THINK of your Radio entertainment of last year,
the year before — and the year before that. What
changes you have seen ! Changes are taking place right
now. What will our Radio be next year, or Tomorrow?
Radio Digest has put this question to a number of
persons who seem to have been working along the for-
ward line of progress. In this issue you will find two
of the salients of the front line — one, the form of
Radio from the standpoint of program production,
which practically everyone concedes to be operating
under a tremendous burden of expense inordinate to
the results achieved. Is there not a more economical
means to the same end? Can we profit from what has
been accomplished along other lines? These questions
and similar ones were put to Maurice Wetzel who saw
the problem shortly after broadcasting began and has
been working thoughtfully toward a solution.
mitter, with all the songs and music, announcements, et cetera,
either on the film or record, or in the form of a typewritten
continuity that the announcers and speaking cast would read
into a microphone.
ALL TRUE, and that is my point. Why not record it, and
then send the "program" on its way to station after sta-
tion, to entertain thousands upon thousands — even put it on a
network, if need be? But why produce things in studios,
entailing great expense, countless rehearsals, only to broadcast
them once? Any really worth while program, costing much
thought, money and preparation, could be repeated at some
future date, and it seems a shame not to record it, thus saving
needless duplication of work — and so I say, "Syndicate!"
Network broadcasting, such as that of the National Broad-
casting company, Columbia and other chain hook-ups, at least,
has enabled a single good program to be broadcast from
various transmitters although many stations that have wanted
the chain programs have been unable to get them. Of the six-
hundred-odd stations in the United States, there are only
about 100 on the various networks. And this means approxi-
mately 500 stations find no syndicated releases available.
In 1925, when I was with the Furniture Manufacturer's sta-
tion, WOOD, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I recorded, on wax,
several Radio programs that could well be syndicated to a
number of stations. The mechanical deficiencies to that end
were: First, _ lack of proper recording facilities; and second,
lack of electrical "pick-up" equipment. I did, however, succeed
in making several hundred records of out-door and other
effects, that would have been very difficult to achieve in the
studio. For example, we recorded a complete rodeo that the
Grand Rapids Furniture manufacturers sponsored in the
Michigan State Fair Grounds, later using it as the basis of a
separate broadcast, to remind the listeners of what we had
done previously. I got quite a "kick" out of hearing myself
announce the next feature of the "round-up."
I BELIEVE that the Radio broadcasting of the future will
have, as its major function, the transcription of programs
that are largely made up of special recordings. There are
many reasons why such an eventuality should be considered
logical. The transcription idea permits the adaptation of all
conditions to complete the finished product. On the other
hand, as conditions now_ exist, suppose we are planning a
special gala program with advance publicity. Everything
is set for a work of art — a splendid announcer, the best of
instrumental talent, the most artistic of singers, perfect studio
conditions acoustically and mechanically — and then this hap-
pens; the announcer inadvertently mispronounces a word or
announces the wrong number, the violin soloist gets nervous
and slips on one important note, somebody bangs the studio
door, the soprano picks up the wrong music, a member of
the male quartet stumbles< over a chair in aproaching the
mike; or perhaps the advertising account calls for Paul White-
man and his orchestra and the flu has knocked out eight
members of the orchestra temporarily, Al Jolson, booked for

Feature Programs for All
n
Probably no invention has been anticipated with
such zest by so many people as practical television, as
it has been called. Many great minds have been delv-
ing into the problem and television in its first crude
form is now a fact. While others have been talking
and whispering, J. Francis Jenkins, father of the mov-
ing picture projection machine, has for some time been
broadcasting scenes and action that are actually being
tuned in and seen on receivers by television fans. He
and his organisation have gone so far as to begin mass
production in a nine-story factory in New Jersey. So
Television is HERE. And we asked Mr. Jenkins to
write us about that absorbing topic as one sub-division
of our Radio of Tomorrow. And in our next issue of
Radio Digest you may hear of still other phases.
—EDITOR.
an exclusive program has had to go to bed with laryngitis —
you see what may happen, any one or more of these incidents
that may mar or utterly ruin the perfect program. But the
time is set — there is no escape and the thing goes "as is." It
can't be undone or done over. It's just too bad.
THERE is a solution to all this — a panacea for most of the
troubles of broadcasting, and that is to follow the pre-
cedent already set by the motion pictures, phonograph records,
magazines and newspapers. In all these businesses the finished
product does not reach the consumer until dozens of engineers,
producers, directors, editors, and assorted experts, have passed
upon its perfection. Yet in today's broadcasting, we have
allowed hour after hour of schedule to leave the transmitter
fairly saturated with error, due to the human element in
the program and technical personnel.
Everyone knows that if a motion picture story calls for
numerous scenes on board ship, throughout the scenario,
all the ship "shots" are taken at one time, and later pieced
into the complete film where they fit. The same could be
done with a Radio program. Everyone knows that if a cer-
tain scene in a movie drags, the director has it taken again,
and again, if necessary — all to get a final perfect result.
The same should be true in a Radio program, and a record-
ing process to that end, is in the writer's opinion most feasible
and necessary. To record a program under perfect conditions,
subject to stopping it at will, even going over a "scene," if
need be, would make for perfection in the program of to-
morrow.
In 1913, I made one of the first recording mechanisms for
hand-played piano rolls. During 1914, I performed consider-
able experiments in recording, on wax, the work of such an
artist as Max Kortlander, now, and for some time, recording
manager of the Q. R. S. company. I recorded for that
company in 1915, and except for the time spent in the air
service during the war, was intimately associated with the
mechanical reproduction of music until 1921, when Westing-
house KYW came on the air in Chicago, and when I first
became interested in the actual business or technique of broad-
casting.
THERE is, possibly, no connection between "Radio Broad-
casting of Tomorrow" and my earlier activities with the
broadcasting business, which by the way, started with sponsor-
ing the first commercial program in the City of Chicago, in
1922. However, prior to that time, I had seen the possibilities
of applying to the "wireless" business, the same principles
that had obtained in other mass communication enterprises.
Throughout 1923 and '24, while associated with KYW, it
had been constantly going through my mind that there was
a considerable duplication of effort in the broadcasting picture
and when in 1925, I elected to join my school-boy acquaint-
ances in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with whom I jointly operated
station WOOD, subsidized by the furniture manufacturers'
association, I made definite experiments in view of recording
Radio programs and sending them on to be re-broadcast
elsewhere from stations with available equipment.
It was during this period that we discovered the possibilities
of registering permanently outdoor and other sounds of various
sorts, incorporating them into subsequent Radio programs,
and after shooting several successful programs exploiting
this idea, it occurred to me that we might inscribe on a phono-
graph record, a complete Radio program, announcements,
music and all, that could be broadcast at a later date, by our-
selves, or any other Radio station.
During the year 1927, while I worked at the Brunswick
Recording studios in Chicago, I explained my idea to Ralph
Townsend, recording engineer of the Brunswick-Balke-Col-
lender Company, and I recorded a complete thirty minute
continuity announcement program, which was electrically,
mechanically and artistically the realization of my earlier plans.
THIS experiment gave me the courage of my earlier con-
victions, and proved to me that, not only was it possible
to record an entire Radio program with perfection, but that it
opened a field of "spot" broadcasting, hitherto impossible, and
therefore untouched. Smaller stations all over the world were
crying for just this sort of an opportunity.
I still had my recording apparatus intact when the famous
Dodge hour, featuring Will Rogers, was broadcast. I took
down the whole proceedings, as Radio Digest readers will
remember. It is rumored that it cost Dodge Brothers $75,000
to put on that program. I could have put on the same pro-
gram at any station for practically nothing, making use of
the recordings I made.
Along this line, one of the largest automobile manufacturers
asked me the other day, how much it would cost to put his
program on three hundred Radio stations simultaneously. He
knew that all the networks could not give him such a coverage.
He wanted to use specially made phonograph records, and,
knowing that he could not please all kinds of listeners with
any one program, his intention was to use a dozen different
musical programs, all of which, of course, would carry sub-
stantially the same publicity announcements for his motor car.
NOW I come to my prophecy of Radio broadcasting. I am
firmly convinced that the future of Radio lies in the
broadcasting of highly organized programs recorded on some
medium of reproduction. It doesn't matter whether it be
wax, celluloid or metal. I am fully cognizant of that which
has been done on records, film and steel tape. The medium is
irrelevant; I am speaking strictly of the underlying idea. It
all comes back to the syndication of effort, and to that end.
I see a future for the organization that has at its fingertips
a perfect program unit, combined with merchandising facilities.
I am not mindful of so-called Radio Television. Dr. Conrad,
of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company,
successfully transmitted motion pictures in the summer of
1928. Simultaneously, this same company was broadcasting
talk and music on a celluloid film, while at the same time,
the transmission of picture signals was admitted to be more
than a laboratory experiment.
Then there are the experiments of C. Francis Jenkins, of
which, the editor tells me, you may read in this issue of Radio
Digest, so let the engineers and the scientists give us pictures
with our Radio, as soon as they can. After all, a motion pic-
ture is in reality a quick succession of still pictures— an optical
illusion; therefore, the transmission of a succession of still
pictures is as feasible as the transmission of a single picture.
The time will come when the bright orange glow of the Neon
tube will be replaced by a black and white image, and then
will come electrical means to natural color.
Who knows, but what the present trend toward stereoscopic
movies may soon be transferred to Radio-vision and what
with color, depth, talk, music, who can predict the future of
Radio broadcasting. Let the scientists tell us the details. All
I claim is that there will be syndication of effort.
THE Radio program of the future will be sent by parcel
post, or express in a package, just as movies, phonograph
records, player rolls, newspapers and magazines are shipped
to the consumer today. There is no more reason to send
Radio-vision programs over long, expensive land wires than
there is to send the "blind" programs of today over costly
telephone circuits. There is enough duplication of effort and
duplication of programs up and down the dial.
It is my contention that when Radio television becomes an
60
every day matter, it will not be by means of land wire from
a single central studio, except, of course, when instantaneous
nation-wide events take place. It is much more economical
to record a program on some medium of reproduction, being
sure that the program is perfect before releasing it, and then
sending copies to various broadcasting centers throughout the
country.
It was my privilege recently, to be present at an audition of
one of the recorded programs that are now being syndicated
throughout fifty-odd stations in the United States and Canada.
I was deeply gratified to see my earlier idea carried out and
it is without hesitancy that I say that the future of Radio
broadcasting lies in the distribution of good Radio programs,
recorded in metropolitan centers, and circulated throughout
the smaller areas, so that independent broadcasting stations
throughout the country may avail themselves of high grade
continuity programs, and at a very small fraction of the
original cost, due to pro-rata merchandising principles.
No doubt there
will be various "fly-
b y - n i g h t" pro-
moters exploiting
this phase of Radio
broadcasting. It is
to be expected. But
the field is limited
to the few record-
ing centers, because
such an endeavor
not only needs
Radiotechnique but
expert recording
facilities as well, of
which there are
but few.
rE, here at KY-
W, have been
investigating this
situation very thor-
oughly. We have
heard of several
stations who have
been propositioned
to "tie-up" on three
year contracts with
various organiza-
tions who promise
to supply a com-
plete program serv-
ice. It goes with-
out saying that
most stations will
consider very cau-
tiously before con-
tracting with a new
connection for any
long period.
Another predic-
tion I would like to
make is that the
big newspaper
chains will have
more and more to
do with broadcast-
ing. A metropoli-
tan daily has such
a wealth of material
with which to build
programs, that it is
very logical to ex-
pect to see the broadcasting of to-
morrow in the hands of the news-
papers, or the newsgathering and
disseminating, agencies who are
already prime examples of syndicate operation.
The philosophy of the printing press is applicable to the
art of broadcasting and although a newspaper furnishes some-
thing new each day, still remember its reference room, or
"morgue" — how invaluable it is to go back into the files and
dig up some picture or article when it is badly needed again
as a repeat story, with or without additions. Radio studios
of the future will have their reference rooms — "morgues," if you
please — where, carefully protected from dust, will be various
programs filed by subject matter, indexed and cross-indexed.
And, these program files will not be libraries, they will be
bins of records or films. When an orchestra plays "Kamennoi-
Ostrow," of Rubenstein, and has once played it perfectly for
Radio, it stays played, and becomes item No. so-and-so in the
program files. And so will be the case with complete pro-
grams. A half hour of concert music, properly built and
announced, is just as good a year from tonight as it is tonight.
The same applies to any program, except, of course, one com-
posed of current popular tunes.
A WELL-AUTHENTICATED rumor states that numerous
of the best equipped broadcasting studios in America today
are soon to be supplied with special recording facilities, to be
used in conjunction with national broadcasting. And I can see
in my mind's eye companies producing programs for Radio
distribution, nation-wide distributing organizations, that will
syndicate programs on records or films to the Radio "theater,"
which, of course, is the independent station.
Of course, moving picture film is wide enough to have several
bands or channels of musical program, side by side, if no
pictures were needed, and for this reason, the film may in the
final analysis, be the logical means for program distribution,
because the program would run as long as the film traveled
before the photo-electric cell. Mechanical means of shifting
the film sideways could either select another composition, or
the film could be reversed to continue the original number;
thus, a thousand feet of film might represent an hour or more
of program. Think of being able to fade out a song by slowly
dimming the light,
g^^^^i^^,^^^^^ or by spraying
black ink on the
music lines with an
air brush.
However, the
lowly phonograph
record even in the
twelve-inch variety,
that has a playing
time of four and a
half minutes per
side, has already
been used success-
fully to syndicate
programs merely
making use of a
double turn table
device provided
with a simple auto-
matic relay pick-up
dropping device
which permits rec-
ord after record
being used with no
perceptible break.
Maurice Wetzel (left) is shown with a strip of
Musicolor film with sound record of Kreisler's

trical recording, testing broadcasting master record.
AND, along the
record line,
various companies
are making circular
disc records that
play a half hour and
an hour, so you see
the mechanical in-
hibitions are neg-
ligible. The Vita-
phone records that
you hear in your
movie theater are
sometimes sixteen
inches in diameter.
Possibly in this
discussion of the
Radio of- Tomor-
row, should be
mentioned the old
" wired - wireless "
that the utility com-
panies could so
easily make use of
over their already
established facili-
ties that reach into practically every
home. How simple it would be to
sit down to your Radio set that
receives its current from your light
socket, and to know that over the same wire are coming a
dozen different programs. Your "receiver" may have no
aerial nor ground, no static, no interference, no heterodyning,
no fading, no "blooping," no trouble at all — and still you can
switchon at will a dance band, a symphony orchestra, opera,
educational talks, comedy, drama, religion or whatever else
you want — merely by setting the indicator to your choice.
Achievement and growth demand higher and ever higher
efficiency. Efficiency demands economy by the elimination of
waste and the maximum of service for every unit of energy
expended. Today there is an appalling waste all along the
line of Radio broadcasting. I have tried to point out one
way that this waste may be materially slashed in the Radio
of Tomorrow. With records especially cut for broadcast
reproduction, perfect recording and unlimited distribution we
have every reason to expect that the Radio of Tomorrow
will see the best of programs on every station and the best
that the are affords available for all, whether the listener lives
in the dense metropolitan area or in the remote wilderness.

^oy's Dream Realized at KJR
QJOUTH'S Air Castle Founded in Italy Becomes
>
Fact when Longo Wields Seattle Baton
FRANCESCO LONGO, the eminent conductor of the
All-Artists Symphony orchestra, which broadcasts over
the Seattle station KJR, has a background in the music
world extending over twenty-five years, every year of
which has been marked by new artistic development and newly
conquered fields.
He first opened his eyes to the light of day in a tiny village
near Naples, Italy. Perhaps the blue waters of the Mediter-
ranean stretching out beyond the dusty white roads of his
village gave him his musical inspiration. At any rate, in that
land which has supplied the world with such a wealth of musical
genius, it became evident while Francesco Longo was still only
a little boy that he would be musically inclined.
At the age of seven he, like the celebrated renaissance figure,
Benvenuto Cellini, was "much given to playing the flute." Mar-
tucci, director of the Royal Academy of Music at Naples, heard
the child play one day and instantly recognized his unusual
talent. _ Martucci insisted on taking the boy back to Naples
with him and keeping him there as a member of his household,
so that the lad could receive the best of instruction in music.
The result of this action was that the youngster,
after two years under the exacting master, won
the coveted eight-year scholarship to the Royal
Conservatory — the high prize given out annu-
ally by the Italian government to one who
showed extraordinary genius in music.
Nor did the government choose the wrong
aspirant, for at the age of seventeen young
Longo was graduated from this famous old
conservatory with the highest honors.
Graduation was followed by two years as the
youthful assistant director of the San Carlos
theatre. And these two years were marked by
a great event in the life of Francesco Longo —
his meeting with Oscar Hammerstein, who
brought Longo to America and secured him the
post of assistant conductor and coach at the
Manhattan theatre, in New York. Campanini
was the conductor, and in Longo's three years'
association with that famous musician, the
former acquired much
orchestra at the Waldorf-Astoria. He also accompanied vari-
ous famous artists on their concert tours — Anna Case, Titta
Ruffo, Toscha Seidel and Lucia Tetrazzini, whom he knew
from the old days at the Manhattan.
Finally Longo has reached the goal which he had in mind
all these twenty-five years, ever since he was the child of seven
playing his flute for Martucci. He now conducts his own
orchestra.
Judging from the letters which pour into that studio ex-
pressing appreciation of the work of Longo and his orchestra,
this man has pursued the goal, for which nature most certainly
destined him.

During those three years
he worked with such
famous artists as Mary
Garden and Lucia Tetraz-

C^anderlusters Find Romance
GjHEY STROLL from WBAL by Ether Lanes to
Seek Adventure in far Distant Lands
Henriette Kern
Soprano
THE idea of adventuring is always sufficient to stir the
blood, to make one's pulse leap, to add a sparkle to the
eye. Adventure and Romance! The two are insepar-
able companions, but regardless as to how one may
love the twain and yearn for their companionship, it is never-
theless a cold, cold fact that, prior to the advent of Radio into
the homes of the nation, comparatively few persons (consider-
ing the millions of souls who inhabit this world of ours) have
been able to grasp the hands of these
two venturesome spirits and with
them a-wandering go.
Nowadays, however, the "call of
the road" can be hearkened to by the
laborer, the housewife, the T.B.M.
and the T.B.W., the shut-in, the man
or woman-with-responsibilities — all,
in fact, who "would a vagabond be."
No need any more for anyone to be
minus romance and adventure, at
least, not so long as WBAL draws
a broadcasting breath of 5 K.W.
power, for at the big Baltimore sta-
tion now there is a group of Radio
wanderlusters who once a week stroll
through the ether
lanes, where they
find all sorts of mu-
sical adventures and
thrills.
Sometimes these
"Musical Memo-
ries," as this feature
is called, are ex-
changed over a cou-
ple of steins in a Vienna cafe, or, they
may, take place over a glass of vodka
drunk along the Russian frontier; or, again,
if you will, the mellow confidences of
past adventures which are relived during
this unique broadcast, may be recorded over
the wine glasses in a smart boulevard cafe
in Paris. Musical day dreams! What a
spell they weave as the Radio wanderlusters
stroll through the air and up and down the
ether-eal vales of Romance, with a capital
"R," please.
FRIDAY night is the night when the listen-
ers-in to WBAL don their seven leagued
boots and pouf! a turn of the dial to WBAL's
wave length and they're off! And no sooner
have they joined the Radio wanderlusters who
set forth weekly from the WBAL studios,
than one finds himself in strange and allur-
ing places with just as strange and alluring
experiences in the offing.
But come, let us join this gay, happy, care-
free group for one evening and see for our-
selves what a jolly, jolly time can be had by
those who stroll through WBAL's ether lanes during one of
these broadcasts. For instance, look — here we are beside the
sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea and such blue, blue
water cut into millions of blue diamonds by shafts of sun-
light. What a beautiful sight! Surely nothing could be more
lovely than the view across that azure expanse of living sea
drenched in sunlight and dotted here and there with the white
sails of fishing vessels while the smoke of a passing steamer
points a smudgy finger at the distant horizon. We had never
expected to see the Mediterranean. That was one place that
seemed forever beyond our pocketbook and completely out-
side the force of circumstance that seemingly kept us chained.
But thanks to this Radio stroll conducted and piloted by the
descriptive powers of S. Broughton Tall, head of WBAL's
Literary and musical Research Bureau, who prepares the con-
tinuity for these programs, and to Gustav Klemm, program
supervisor, who acts as official guide during these fantastic
tours, we have stood on the shores of this historic sea and
limned on our consciousness the exquisite beauty and exotic
loveliness of that spot.
We cannot tarry too long on this enchanted shore, however,
as we must be in Nice in time for the premiere performance
of "Pom Pom," in which we expect to hear the piquant Mitzi
c
:
Lady Baltimore
and Paulette, France's popular prima donna. As to be ex-
pected, the place, of course, is crowded, but we should worry!
We have already reserved our seats, via the air, and conse-
quently we shall not miss any of the warm thrill that comes
with all premieres, regardless of ultimate results. With what
delight and joy indeed, do we hear our beloved Mitzi in the
"silken tatters of a street gamin," sing, with the aid of a
chorus, the melody "Evelyn." Surely no one could ever sing
that song just like Mitzi and was there, do you suppose, ever
a more infectious smile than this clever little star possesses?
THE house "comes down" with applause after she con-
cludes her song but, though we would like very much to
stay and hear some of the other tuneful numbers which our
"Musical Memories" recall, we find we must travel along and
this time we pass the poppy fields of France and come to a
pleasant little Belgian village. Here, of all places, we stop
at a glass factory, visiting it as the guests of Octave Flaubert,
a gay young Parisian who has just inherited it. All sorts of
happy surprises await us here, for we find Romance, again
with a capital "R," as the gay and irrepressible Octave com-
pletely loses his heart and hand to Eva, a charming and
comely apprentice at the factory. We sigh happily as we
witness the young lovers who sing several songs from the
once popular operetta "Eva" and then w
leave them for dear old Manhattan.
Across the pond once more we arrive just
in time to join a party going down to
Dulcy's, where Gertie of Garter fame brazenly
smokes and everyone dances till "Three
o'Clock in the Morning." We find ourselves
dancing to this infectious waltz, too, and
goodness knows how long we would continue
waltzing around amid the smoke and laugh-
ter and jollity had not our guides again
gathered us all together and wafted us once
more across the old Atlantic. This time we
find ourselves in Paris, and the first thing we
do after reaching there is to look for a fa-
mous perfume which a Dr. Thorne, nerve spe
cialist, has just discovered and one sniff o:
which makes you just tingle-tingle all over,
Finally, we come to the Doctor's flower gar
den — such a lovely place — myl just smell th
delightsome blooms! We find the Doctor at
home and he tells us he has named his famous
perfume "High Jinks"; and of course we get
some of it and still tingle-tingling we finally
turn our direction homeward and as the clock
strikes the magical hour of 10 o'clock, we find
o urselves
back in our
own living
rooms and
the loud
speaker
throws off its
cloak of
magic to be-
come once more a plain wired
instrument.
HAVING skimmed glori-
ously through the air,
adventure-bent, it is but nat-
ural that our arrival back
home should provoke ques-
tioning, as our quest for Ad-
venture and Romance was
not unknown to our relatives
and friends unable to go with
us on this aerial tour. And
so we collected a little bit of
data regarding these "Mu-
sical Memories" programs
which we herewith gladly
pass on to whomever it may
concern.

^IL, "The Friendly Station
J)
Galaxy of Artists Delight Thousands of Radio Fans
Throughout Mississippi Valley in Brilliant and Varied
Series of Colorful Programs Broadcast from this St.
Louis Station.
THE Friendly Station down St. Louis way
has been a going unit in the Radio field
since September, 1922, at which time WIL
came on the air. Since that time it has been
one of the great, powerful and popular stations in
the middle west.
William Ellsworth, familiarly addressed by all
as Bill, is the mana'ging director of WIL. Ells-
worth has qualified in a half dozen fields that
make him an invaluable man in any studio. He is
a graduate lawyer; has had considerable ex-,
perience in the field of exploration, and is
well known as a sports announcer.
Ellsworth has built up a splendid staff for
WIL, and its popularity is only surpassed
by the tremendous following he has among
the listeners who turn dials. One of Ells-
worth's pet announcing stunts is to empha-
size the fact that he is speaking for "The
Friendly Station," as he has dubbed WIL,
and the phrase has become a byword among
the friends of the station.
Early in the game Managing Director
Ellsworth learned that variety is essential if
any success is to be attained in the field of
broadcasting.
"Better a little bit of everything, rather
than a plenty of one thing," is a verity fre-
quently uttered by Bill Ellsworth, and his
plan of action in handling the affairs of WIL
gives evidence of the truth of the saying.
Schyler Alward has the difficult and yet
interesting assignment of handling the mu-
sical features. He is not only an able
musical director, but well known as
an artist.
The ace of the melody singers of
WIL is Bobby Stubbs, a genial and
hard working juvenile. Bobby can
feature in blues or ballads, and sat-
isfy the most analytical dial twister.

has built up an enviable reputation,

is Wilma Emms, piano accordionist.
Versatility with a delightful Radio
personality are assets of Miss Emms, whose solo
work is of such a quality as to enable her to be listed
among the most popular artists at WIL.
Agnes Vogler is a soprano of note, and the success
of the WIL Grand Opera company is due, in a great
measure, to her work as prima donna of the organization.
Year by year during the six years that WIL has been on
the air its circle of listeners has widened and become more
firmly attached to the station. The slogan of "The Friendly
Station" has been more than a slogan. It has grown into a
subtle spirit of station individuality. The entertainers feel it.
They impart this feeling through their voices and their instru-
ments, and thus the friendly station has in turn cultivated a
friendly audience.
St. Louis as a metropolis has felt the growing good will
cultivated by the penetrating aerial handclasp from this station
— results have been demonstrated in increased volume of trade
and marketing.
KOMO OF SEATTLE
TTAPPY crew at studio provides mu-
Xx sical, novelty and feature acts for
delight and pleasure of many thousands
remote from city attractions.
ALL NORTHWEST
KOMO, speaking for the great Northwest, has been
heard in every state in the Union, every province
of Canada, all parts of the Arctic together with the
islands of the Pacific, Australia, Japan, Panama
and the Central American Republics, in addition to ships on
both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The gigantic towers of KOMO rise from the edge of
Harbor Island. They are visible to ships passing out to all
parts of the world. The trapper in the Yukon,
the revelers on the beach at Waikiki, the peon
in Mexico, and the dial fan in New York have
all been brought in contact with the Northwest
through KOMO.
Programs from KOMO have been broadcast
since February, 1925, when the station was
operated under the direction of the American
Radio Telephone company. Subsequently its
call letters were changed from KTCL to
KOMO, and when the year 1927 started this
great Seattle station was opened in a new plant.
With the inauguration of the KOMO Fisher's
Blend Station, Inc., the Totem Broadcasters
came into existence, and this organization
leased practically all of the time availble from
the station. The Totem Broadcasters include
a number of established firms, and they are
providing continuous service from KOMO,
extending from the early morning hours until
well beyond the midnight hour. The Totem
Broadcasters in 1927,
established a connection
with the National Broad-
casting company, and
as a result the East has
been brought nearer to
the West through the
change.
During 1928, KOMO
provided more than 1500
hours of concert orches-

The Joy Boys from KOMO
in real life are Bob Vierling
and J. Riddell. They are be-
loved entertainers, have a large
following among the lovers of
popular songs and possess that
indescribable quality known as
Radio personality. They have
popularized that odd combina-
tion — banjo and piano — and
have proved their ability as en-
tertainers.
The Three Belles of Melody-

this type of music.
Mary Lyon Spear is the ac-

ON THE center of the dial, and twenty miles south of the center
of population, Station WHAS has become a national station
since the reallocation order of the Federal Radio commission
went into effect in November. Co-incident with the reallocation,
The Courier-Journal and The Louisville Times put into operation a
new 5,000-watt RCA transformer of the most modern type on the
820 kilocycle cleared channel.
Test programs brought responses from Hawaii; from Elim, 100
miles northeast of Nome, Alaska; from old Mexico, Porto Rico, Canada
and every State in the Union. Steady signals, sent on an unwavering
frequency, have made the station one of the most reliable in the entire
country, according to reports from listeners.
In addition to selected features from the National Broadcasting
company, WHAS presents a variety of local programs, ranging from
the popular dance orchestras to complete operettas.

and Dorothy Lyon directs orchestra. Let
no mere man presume to doubt who's boss here.
TWO WOMEN
CONTROL
LOOK at the way Jane Morse
and Judy Rice, harmony team
at KMO, turn their backs to the
piano, as much as to say they can
make music enough without any
mechanical aid.
OUT in the "great open spaces" of
the State of Washington, "where
men are men" — well, if certain in-
formation concerning the Radio
station KMO is any criterion, men are,
indeed, merely men, and the women are
the bosses.
KMO is in Tacoma and the quality of
its programs has caused many a resident
of that city and of the vicinity, which lies
within the "dependable range" of the sta-
tion, to take home a Radio set in order to
share in the hours of real entertainment
which it furnishes.
The studio, in the Hotel Winthrop, is
managed and controlled by Margaret
Haymond, and any mere man within
those walls will obey her commands if he
knows what is good for him. She is a
power in the selection of those who shall
occupy the station's time on the air, how
much of the time shall be allotted to each
and what shall be the nature of the offer-
ings to the ear of the Radio listener.
It is she who also dictates what the
world shall have in the way of publicity
concerning the station.
And then there is Dorothy Lyon, the
ever efficient and always willing accom-
panist of the various vocal and instru-
mental soloists heard from the station,
who is herself a soloist of no mean ability.
She, of course, is called the studio pianist,
but the business of being studio pianist is
by no means the goal, or limit, of her
musical efforts.
She has organized a six-piece orchestra
— all men — and calls them Dorothy Lyon's
HUGH and Tim, "The Early
Birds," start to sing and play

Boys. She is their conductor, of course, and they are on the
air so much that they have become one of the station's most
popular offerings. But their Radio entertainments are only a
part of their' musical activities. Often they furnish the music
for Tacoma entertainments, in which the audience is visible,
and takes advantage of the better opportunities' to express its
appreciation.
TWO of the popular entertainers on KMO programs are
Jane Morse and Judy Rice, the smooth blending of whose
voices makes them a real harmony team. They like to sing
entirely without accompaniment, allowing the piano only, to
give them a pitch for a start. Then they turn their backs to it
and warble into the microphone to their hearts' content — and
to the contentment of the Radio audience, too, if you want to
know the whole
truth.
Jane and Jude
have never really
had the time to
count up how many
songs they know
the words to, but
they admit that they
themselves might
be surprised if the
total were ever
written down in
bold, plain figures.
But the reader
should not get the
idea that men are
nonentities, by any
means, even in a
Radio station which
seems to be domi-
nated by women,
as KMO does.
One pair of male
entertainers, which
have the public's
approval, is Hugh
and Jim. They
call themselves
"The Early Birds,"
for they are on the
air every morning
and listeners
send them
worms and
bird seed,
which helps to
keep the birds fat
and contented.

^HAM Has Birthdays Galore
Rochester, "Nation's Musical
Capital," Featured via the Air
EVERY NOW and then there is an epidemic of anniver-
saries among Radio stations, and they are of such a
variety and character as to excite the imagination and
curiosity of the most rabid dial twister.
For instance, there is the enlarged WHAM of Rochester,
N. Y. A mature youngster is WHAM, which is sponsored by
the Stromberg-Carlson Telephone Manufacturing company.
Back in 1923 someone pressed a button and WHAM sprang
forth panoplied with a 100-watt transmitter crown to do battle
on a restricted field. On Sept. 1, 1927, another button was-
pressed by the Stromberg-Carlson company and the fly-weight
clothes fell to the ground and the 100-watt crown suddenly
shone with a brilliance fifty times greater, or 5,000 watts.
Young WHAM then stepped up into the front rank of broad-
casting stations.
In Rochester, which is one of the country's leading music
centers, is located the Eastman School of Music, and the
theater of the'University of Rochester. Here we find harbored
a students' concert bureau, two fine organs, the Eastman
theater orchestra of seventy pieces, the Symphoneers, a select
band of Eastman artists, the Little Symphony orchestra, con-
ducted by Howard Hanson, director of the Eastman school,
and, as if to make a climax, the Rochester Philharmonic orches-
tra, Eugene Goossens, conductor. All are in contact with
WHAM.
The concert bureau of the school is to aid the students in
giving professional performances on the Radio and in concert
halls. These student recitals, of which fifty-two were on the
air last season, are varied in character and the programs repre-
sentative of* two or three departments of the school, such as
voice, piano and violin. By combining students with faculty
any type of Radio program may be formulated.
The Eastman Theatre orchestra arranges a Sunday after-
noon popular concert that is broadcast from the orchestra
pit, and this orchestra of seventy pieces is frequently picked
up, and its overtures and music descriptive of the news reel
and stage productions, put on the air.
Saturday nights a special Radio program is arranged by
the Eastman Symphoneers. It consists of instrumentalists
from the orchestra and vocalists from the theatre and opera
school. During the season three American composers' con-
certs are held to stimulate musical composition in this country.
These are broadcast, as well as the nine afternoon programs
of the philharmonic orchestra. They are featured by the
other stations of the New York state net, which include
WGY, Schenectady; WFBL, Syracuse, and WMAK, Buffalo.
A popular feature is Sax Smith and his Cavalier band of
fifteen pieces. Four other dance and concert orchestras are
available, in addition to their own six-piece studio orchestra.
WHAM's entertainment is not all musical. Of programs
pertaining to public service, reference should be made to the
Chamber of Commerce announcements, weather reports, prod-
uce and stock reports, daily talks on health, cooking, care of
the home, care of children, road reports, travelogues and
weekly agricultural programs. The agriculture talks are spon-
sored by the Monroe County Farm bureau and the state and
federal agricultural departments.
A connection with the University of Rochester and the
Rochester board of education enables the station to broadcast
other educational features of general interest. Sunday morn-
ings a service is broadcast from one of four churches. The
station, of course, is associated with the National Broadcast-
ing company and to its own features adds many of the blue
network programs.
As to technical equipment, the station is one of the best
equipped 5-kw stations in the United States, the equipment
costing approximately $200,000. It has six studios, alphabet-
ically arranged, and two control rooms, with a proposed auto-
matic crystal control in the offing. It has an auxiliary studio
and duplicate control equipment in the Eastman School and
theatre of the University of Rochester.
Pickup facilities are continuously maintained to four of
Rochester's churches, the Chamber of Commerce, convention
hall, Columbus hall and Rochester's leading hotels.
The station's transmitter is at Victor, eighteen miles south
east of Rochester. The towers, 40 feet square at the base and
400 feet apart, rise nearly 400 feet above the surrounding coun-
try. When flood-lighted at night they offer an unusual and
brilliant spectacle.
The main studios of the station are on the second floor of
the Sagamore hotel, Rochester, and at all times they are open
to the public. Guests may watch broadcasting activities in
either studio through plate glass windows. The staff numbers
nineteen persons.
Last year WHAM was on the air 2,800 hours. Its present
broadcasting schedule embraces 55 hours average weekly of
which 65 per cent is local, 30 per cent NBC, and 5 per cent
New York state network.
The territory served by WHAM includes about 36 per cent
of the country's population; 31 per cent of the country's
dwellings; 36 per cent of the country's radio receiving sets;
40 per cent of the country's residence telephones, and 44 per
cent of the country's domestic lighting customers.
WHAM fared well in the new
reallocation law of the Federal
Radio commission. Under the new
ruling, the station will retain its full
power of 5,000 watts and it was
granted one of the eight cleared
channels in Zone 1 operating on
l,150kc, 260.7 meters.
With regard to the close as-
sociation between WHAM and
the Eastman School, Director
Howard Hanson says this:
"The work done in Rochester
and the School, both in school
and theatre, is of national sig-
nificance and to the advantage
of the future development."

Radio Service is Record
for San Francisco's Station
QoalofKPO
IS DIVERSITY
Guiding the destinies of KPO, in the capacity of managing
director, is James W. Laughlin, a man of extensive business
repute. Jean Campbell Crowe is responsible for programs
released through the KPO' transmitter. She is a pianiste of
note and has been a figure in women's club activities
of national scope.
Many concert artists know KPO as their Radio
home, and many stars who have realized nation-wide
fame twinkled first from this station. Carolyn Cone
Baldwin, American pianiste, who has been a guest
artist of more than fifty symphony orchestras in
Europe and America, is a weekly recitalist.
; Nathan Abas, young Dutch-American violinist,
| former pupil of Franz Kneisel and a featured assist-
ing artist with Willem Mengelberg's Concert-
gebouw orchestra, is heard in solos and as con-
jg^ ductor of KPO's Symphony orchestra, which
numbers thirty members. He is first vio-

DIVERSITY of musical presentation, last minute news detail,
programs of human interest and inspiration, addresses by
national figures in world events and, in short, a notable col-
lection of interesting ieatures are at the disposal of the dialer
who tunes in to KPO, the Hale Chronicle station at San Francisco.
KPO is a pioneer of western broadcasting, and has steadily served
the fifth zone for seven years.
Beginning humbly with an experimental transmitter, the station
officials soon realized the possibilities of Radio as a medium of con-
structive entertaining, and the potentiality of commercial broadcast-
ing became apparent. As the output increased, the engineering staff
was augmented by a program department and, later, a commercial
section.
The staff at KPO now numbers more than twenty members, and
artists numbering seventy-five take part in the programs. KPO
broadcasts on a clear national channel, Channel No. 68, on a wave
length of 440.9 meters, 680 kilocycles, and is the San Francisco unit
of the National Broadcasting company. The station is heard in
Alaska, the Philippines, in Australia, in Cuba and in all parts of
North America.

Q)tars Twinkling for
public at KDKA
PIONEER Station of United States
Builds Up Strong Friendships in
Eight Years' Service on the Air at Pitts-
burgh.
DESPITE the fact that Radio is a child with the present
generation, it has its pioneers and veterans, and chief
of the number is Westinghouse KDKA, Pittsburgh.
More than eight years ago KDKA came on the
air. The first broadcast program was made
up of the Harding-Cox election returns, and
it was sent out November 2, 1920. Several
months ago the anniversary of that event
was celebrated in Pittsburgh.
Through the changing years many artists
have stepped before the mike at KDKA.
Men, women and children providing every
form of entertainment known to the human
family have contributed to the success of
the station.
Three delightful personages on the staff
at present are Helen Bells Rusho, Virginia
Kendrick, and Mary Frances Philpot. Per-
haps you have met them via the mike, and
if you have, you are familiar with their
voices.
These young ladies are of the great num-
ber of enter-
tainers on the
staff of KDKA,
but their pres-
entations have
been of a high
order, and nat-
urally they
have a band of
faithful fans
who follow
with interest
and applaud
their efforts.
FAN MAIL
is one of
the best ba-
rometers of
Radio popu-
larity, and this
trio at KDKA
has oodles of
letters that at-
test the hold
they have on
the public.
Personality is
one thing, and
Radio pulling
power is an-
other, and the
Rusho - Ken-
drick - Philpot
trio have es-
tablish ed be-
yond question
their position
with the fans
of the air.
Helen Bells
Rusho is a soprano, Virginia Kendrick, a
contralto, and Mary Frances Philpot is one
of those delightful Radio artists who has been a valuable
addition to the staff of KDKA because of her contributions
over the air.
Because of its long term of service on the air KDKA has a
staff that from almost every angle functions like a family.
Everybody plays the good fellow to the other fellow; every
artist is interested in the success of his compatriots and all
cooperate to the end that KDKA has the high regard and
best wishes of the band of faithful who put over its programs.
With unquestioned prestige this broadcast patriarch with
its unfailing quality of programs has acquired a nation-wide
following, and other stations, compared with it, sometimes
seem like mere fledglings.
KDKA has not fought off the innovations that Radio has
had to offer the public in the last few years. On the con-

trary, it has initiated them, and recent announcement was to
the effect that this pioneer station would broadcast moving
pictures. Ere these lines appear in print it is possible the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company may
have its Radio movies on a basis to permit the public to
enjoy them.
Everybody most everywhere has heard of KDKA, and it
has a staff that has been built up through years of careful
selection and diplomatic study of the needs of the station,
and the demands of the public.
The programs of KDKA have been worked out with a fine
regard for detail, and the three ladies presented herewith
have been invaluable to the success of the station.
You may have heard them. If not, tune in and enjoy these
artists who are regular features at KDKA, Pittsburgh, Pa.
The feminine contingent was represented recently in the
station staff by Mildred Davis Terman, who conducted the
KDKA Home Forum; Letha Frazier Rankin, soprano, and
Jean McCrory Newman,
contralto, who took part
in the sacred song con-
cert; May Singhi Breen,
of the NBC Net; Aunt
Jemima, of NBC, and
Milady's Musicians.
SHOULD motion pic-
tures become a reg-
ular feature at KDKA,
the demand for feminine
artists will in all prob-
ability be materially in-
creased and pulchritude
will not only be the rule
but the guide to many
station directors in build-
ing up programs. Station
KDKA being a pioneer
in the Radio field will
sustain its reputation in
this respect in the matter
of presenting Radio pic-
tures.
Pictures by Radio from
KDKA with present day
equipment will offer a
strange contrast when
compared to the first
broadcast of that station
back in 1920. With a
veritable army of listen-
ers today the Radio fol-
lowing public is ever
alert to innovations of
any character, which fact
is a striking parallel to
the plan followed by
KDKA in 1920, when the
station sent out to many
of its friends a number of simple receiving sets
in order that they might follow the first broad-
casting of that station.
The personal element fairly permeates all studio
life today, and with KDKA prepared to take advan-
tage of the opportunity that is offered by tele-
vision, the human interest feature will have draw-
ing power that will compare favorably with that
prevailing in -. the daily newspaper. This element
was lacking in the first broadcasts by KDKA,
for program material was drawn almost exclusively
from phonograph records.
With the passing of these expedients the sym-
phony orchestra came into vogue, the KDKA
Little Symphony orchestra presenting a program
out-of-doors on the roof of a building the crowded
and somewhat restricted facilities of the im-
provised studio serving more as a handicap than
an advantage. Then followed the use of a tent
until a high wind blew it away, thus denying posterity an
opportunity to inspect what was in reality the first studio.
With KDKA prepared to be the first in the television field,
it is interesting to note that in the matter of firsts this
station occupies an enviable position. It was the pioneer in
the re-transmission of the Arlington Time Signals, and accord-
ing to Vice-President Davis of the Westinghouse forces it
was first to broadcast sports, presenting the Ray-Dundee box-
ing bout in 1921. Again KDKA took the initiative in pre-
senting a play from the stage of the Davis Theater, Pittsburgh;
it was first in the field with Radio reports of the Davis
Cup tennis matches, and first with a play-by-play account
of a baseball game in Pittsburgh. One of the first broadcasts
of KDKA in those early days included a review of the World
Series baseball games.

<^FDF Once One Man Station
GJRANK D. FALLAIN, Formerly All- Around Studio Operator
Now Owns Extensive Flint Broadcaster
FRANK D. FALLAIN has been
the human element behind Sta-
tion WFDF since it first came on
the air in 1922.
Lacking a schedule of any kind, and
compelled to work out the fine points
of studio operation, Fallain, after ex-
periencing the thrills incident to found-
ing the station, set about to work out
the many problems that confronted him in popularizing
WFDF.
In the old days Fallain was the operator, program director,
announcer and general manager of the station. While many
changes have taken place during the last few years, Fallain
continues to take a turn before the mike, and his interest and
enthusiasm is of the same brand that was responsible for the
founding of the station, which is familiarly known as "One
of the Pioneers."
Operation of WFDF is in the hands of the Flint Broadcast-
ing Company of Flint, Mich., and the director of the programs
is F. L. McKitrick. The station is situated in the heart of
industrial Michigan, and since the time it was licensed, May
25, 1922, it has been an active force in the Radio field in
Michigan. It is not hooked up with a chain, and maintains
a complete variety of programs for the army of followers
it has in Michigan.
The station is handicapped to a certain extent by its inability
to secure adequate power, yet this fact does not deter the staff
at WFDF from maintaining a high standard in its programs.
Full time on 1,310 kilocycles^ has been given the station, and
the daily service now available in Flint is of such a character
as to justify the hopes that the Flint Broadcasting Company
had in the change.
The responsibility of arranging programs has fallen to Fred
L. McKitrick, who has been associated with WFDF since
1925, when he became a staff artist. Under his guidance pro-
grams at WFDF have developed originality, taste and effec-
tiveness. McKitrick has analyzed the situation at WFDF,
and his programs have been popular with the fans of Michigan
and the contiguous territory.
WFDF is now at the point where it is outgrowing all that
has been adequate in the past. With studios located at two
outside locations, hookups to two churches, as well as theater
and hotel pickups, in addition to the main studio, WFDF now
is in a position where additional main studios and larger space
for offices and the staff are imperative.
At the present time about 5,000 square feet of floor space is
utilized by the station on two floors. This includes facilities
for a splendidly equipped experimental and development
laboratory.
The personnel of WFDF includes Frank D. Fallain, who is
owner, engineer and manager; Fred L. McKitrick, program
director and chief announcer; Colleen McKitrick, secretary
and hostess; Ralph Crandall, director of the studio string
orchestra; Fred Wolcott, director of the studio dance orches-
tra; George Jewett, first operator, and Frank Folsom, super-
visor of service and remote broadcast pickups.
The Buick band, Thomas
Hoskins, director, is pre-
sented above, and the
string quartet at WFDF,
at the left, with F. L. Mc-
Kitrick at the mike.
The Buick band is one of the star attractions featured at
WFDF, and with an instrumentation of forty it provides pro-
grams of a varied character. The band was organized by
Jerry Bell in May, 1925, and it is a program feature in the
Buick factories every Thursday, and on the air Wednesday
evenings at 9:30 o'clock. Its programs extend over an hour.
Thomas Hoskins is director of the band, and most of the
Radio programs presented by the band are announced by
Jerry Bell, with sponsorship of the band vested in the Buick
Recreational Association.
Jerry Bell and his Buick band have received countless com-
plimentary letters covering their work before the mike, and
they are always eager to know the reaction of the Radio
listeners, so if you have a word to say about Jerry and the
band, hurry it along to Flint, Mich.
The band is well organized in the matter of instrumentation,
possessing a good wood wind section and with sufficient brass
to give balance to its work in presenting both classical and
popular programs.
The quartet features two violins, a 'cello and piano, and in
the picture on this page McKitrick, the director of programs,
is standing at the mike.
WFDF is equipped with laboratory apparatus and constant
checking from the microphone to the transmitter output is
carried on. In the final transmitted program the watchword
is quality, and nothing is left undone that will improve this
feature of the station's work.
The commercial department of the station has been reorgan-
ized and includes a larger staff for the commercial manager.
WFDF is not in any sense of the word just another small
station built on a haywire principle, but rather a splendidly
equipped unit with an excellent band of artists. Director Mc-
Kitrick, in his program work, has set a high standard and its
maintenance is one of the ambitions of Manager Fallain.
Thestation has had a good, consistent growth since 1922,
when it came on the air, and its prestige is such as to make
WFDF the recognized mouthpiece of Flint. Its followers are
legion in Michigan, the nearby states and Canada, and from
remote points in the country letters have come from. listeners
who have picked up its programs.
To know WFDF one must become acquainted with Frank D.
Fallain, who has been its sponsor from the start. For nearly
seven years he has given most of his time to the station,
and he has built up a capable staff to assist him in handling
the infinite details connected with the management of WFDF.
The expansion program contemplated by the Flint Broad-
casting Company contemplates additional facilities to care for
the extended activities of the station.

GJHEIR MUSIC STIRS
Heart:
of THOUSANDS
LISTENERS THRILLED
by Artists of WHK and
Tiny Singer of Comic Operas
THERE is no theme in daily life
that strikes a greater response
from Radio audiences than music.
Program directors, ever alert to meet
the changes of the day, usually feature
anything of a musical character, know-
ing well that popular interest in music
never wanes and that the love for it is
inherent in all mortals.
Size, height, girth, stature and similar
descriptive words have no meaning
when an estimate is placed upon mu-
sical artists. Their abilities as singers
or performers upon some instrument
are what count.
The smallest legitimate prima donna on the air is said to be
Edith Thayer. That is something of a title so far as size
is concerned, for the little lady is only four feet ten.
Then there is that happy family of musical stars at WHK,
Cleveland, which consists of Ernest H. Hunt, staff organist;
Rose Divinsky, violinist; the Morgan Sisters, and Ace Brigode,
director of the Virginians.
Edith Thayer took up the study of music some years ago
and at one time was numbered among the pupils of the late
Jean de Reszke, one of the world's greatest tenors. She
studied in Paris and New York, and early in her musical
career took up light opera.
She was a member of the original company of Blossom Time,
the famous play founded upon incidents in the life of Schubert;
also, Cherry Blossom, in addition to the following Hammerstein

productions: The Firefly, Katinka, Pom Pom and The Peasant
Girl.
The WHK artists constitute a happy family as one car
note from the pictures. Mr. Hunt is featured at the organ
on Saturday evenings, starting about midnight and continuing
until 1 o'clock in the morning.
The Morgan Sisters, who bear a title that is sug-
gestive of their work before the mike, are introduced
as Merry and Glad. They are popular entertainers in
Cleveland, and their work at WHK has endeared them
in the hearts of thousands of fans who tune-in on
this well known station, which has been credited as
Cleveland's pioneer broadcasting station.
Miss Thayer's Radio career has included her appear-
ance on the air as the original La Palina, The Spur
Tie Girl, The Quaker Girl, The Colonial Girl with the
Colonial Radio corporation, and recently she was Jane
Mcgrew in Show Boat and Fannie on Main Street,
both on the Columbia system, opening with Forhans
Song Shop on WEAF.
Miss Thayer has been numbered among the artists
singing at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago for the
Chiropractic School, also the advertising men's post
of the American Legion. Frank Moulan, formerly
with Roxy of New York, discovered Miss Thayer and,
being impressed with her ability, brought about her
appearance before the mike. Her first Radio deline-
ation was La Palina.
Direction of the musical features at WHK is in
charge of Louis Rich, who has had considerable experi-
ence in musical activities. Programs at this station
are thoroughly alive with music, and public reaction
has justified the study and time given to this important
part of the day's work at WHK.
Hunt has the knack of playing the sort of music that
appeals to the masses, and he is alert to pick up new
ideas from the tremendous avalanche of fan mail
that comes to his desk.
The Morgan Sisters are a sort of merry and care-
free singers, with a happy selection of popular num-
bers, and a style all their own when it comes to
putting over a number. To hear them is to want to
follow them in their work before the mike.
And who of you that has ever
heard Edith Thayer can forget her
singing and her pleasing stage
appearance. She can sing aplenty
and put over those wonderful I
comic opera airs in a manner that j
is bound to leave a fine impression.

o^re You a Radio Letter Writer?
KNOCKS are Welcome as Boosts to Broadcasters
and to Those JVho Sponsor Programs
By Verne Edwin Burnett
MILLIONS of letters have been written by Radio
listeners in the last few years to the sponsors of
various Radio programs. Do these letters go di-
rectly into the paper baler? Are they, so to speak,
the bunk? Is the effectiveness of a Radio program measured
only by the pounds of morning Radio mail?
You'd be surprised! Hundreds of office employes are
working to handle this new giant activity which has bobbed
up with the advent of Radio. In most companies, at least,
these workers are doing a scientific job.
They get every day some new thrills, some heart throbs,
some smiles. Theirs is a most fascinating task.
From Jaffa, in the Holy Land, a British-born resident leaned
over his tubes until nearly daybreak to listen to programs
coming direct from Schenectady. It was during #the early
evening in New York State. He wrote down, word for word,
the announcer's statements, and described the music and en-
tertainment. He sent this long letter to the American spon-
sor of the program, who found it correct in almost every
detail.
IN Manhattan, a vice president of the great corporation an-
swered this particular letter personally. He, too, had been
in Palestine, years before, and was familiar with the land
from which the letter came. His answer was newsy — and
appreciative.
In northern Canada, a group of fur traders clustered around
a little stove. It was fifty below zero outside. But their
faces were bright. They were intent upon a loud speaker
which carried sweet tunes from Detroit, some two thousand
miles to the south.
They wrote, and all signed the letter, that they might go
loco if it weren't for their Radio. They said when they re-
turned to Winnipeg, they
were going to buy the tooth-
paste and motor cars men-
tioned on the Radio, just to
show they appreciated the
programs.
The letters come from
Latin America, from Europe,
from remote islands, written
in all languages. They come
from castles in Castile and
cottages in Canada; from
barges on the Gulf and liners
on the Pacific; from the
farms of Iowa and metropol-
itan tenements.
Soldiers and sailors, con-
valescents in hospitals, chil-
dren getting ready for bed,
students grasping for knowl-
edge, lovers of stories, of
news, and of cultural sub-
jects; lovers of jazz, lovers of
symphony — all write in.
Some of the most touching
letters are from people who are very sick. The Radio to many
of them is the hand of God reaching out of the ether and
laying a benediction upon them.
SOMETIMES a favorite artist sings or plays or speaks.
When Dennis King sang the "March of the Vagabonds,"
a family in Chicago was thrown into ecstasies. They wakened
the youngest member of the family, who had gone to bed
just before the program started. They had been several
times to see and hear Mr. King on the stage. They sat
enthralled by the program, and the whole family,^ seven of
them wrote a letter of keen gratitude for presenting again
their favorite.
Thousands of persons who are deaf or blind can enjoy
the Radio and take a new lease on enjoyment of life. Many
of them write in a way which makes the Radio sponsors feel
that their efforts have paid at least in spreading happiness.
By the way, do the letters pay in a material way?
Some manufacturers are able to make a real check. One
who sells his products through drug stores, finds that sales
increase one-third after his Radio programs have been added
to the efforts of his other necessary advertising campaigns.
FAN mail indeed has lost its poundage, but, by
no means, its importance. It seems to have
gained in quality and worth all that it has lost in
physical weight, if not many times more. It now
forms the foundation upon which program changes
and revisions are built and provides a real help to
the program sponsor as well as to the broadcaster.
And, strange as it may seem, the fault-finding
letters are often of even more value and the source
of more satisfaction to the recipient than those in
high compliment of the programs to which they re-
fer. The dissenters often make constructive sug-
gestions which go far toward improvement of the
programs by the broadcaster and the merchandis-
ing methods of the advertiser.
Many letters have definitely asked for a salesman to call.
Incidentally, are you putting your foot into it when you
write a letter to a Radio sponsor? That is, are you opening
the way for a persistent salesman? Decidedly not, at least
in the case of the reputable national companies.
The Radio users are trying to win good will. They would
not care to get ill will by abusing the precious privilege they
have of being welcomed into the sanctity of the home. They
are delighted to answer each letter, at least most of them are.
They are glad to send booklets, souvenirs or sheets of music,
or whatever they mention as being available. Then they let
it go at that.
ALL the letters aren't roses. Some are big hard bricks.
A music teacher in North Dakota writes that the Tuesday
night program was not in accordance with good musical
taste. Yet that very program was planned with extreme care
by a musical authority who is supposed to be one of the few
in the world who best knows what is good taste in music.
The ambitious music teacher offered to plan all the programs
for the advertiser, for a very small consideration. She may
have been capable of doing this job well. But the big adver-
tiser couldn't take a chance. He had to go to the authorities
whose reputation was outstanding. Yet the advertisers were
glad to get the letter. They answered it carefully and
appreciatively.
A rich man from his office in the tower of a skyscraper
wrote a letter which- some might call very sour indeed. But
it contained an idea which struck the Radio planning depart-
ment as sound. The financier seemed astounded to get any
reply at all, apparently, and wrote a second letter saying that
he was delighted to get such a prompt, courteous reply and
that he didn't think the programs were so terrible after all.
He felt good will toward the
advertiser and that was what
the advertiser wanted.
A certain novelty jazz fea-
ture was used in a "high hat"
type of musical program.
Five per cent of the letters
received in the next few days
condemned the novelty as un-
dignified. When complaint
letters run up to that amount,
they are a warning signal.
When people don't like a
thing they usually don't write
in, so numerous complaints
can safely be multiplied sev-
eral times to get a fair pic-
ture of the reactions of the
total audience. If you don't
like something in a Radio
program, you are doing a real
service to American business
by writing and explaining
your views.
RADIO letters show that we are a nation of "wise-crackers."
At least, many of us are. Out of every pile of Radio
mail, you may be sure there are a few good jokes, some of
them quite unintentional.
For instance, one elderly lady in Texas writes that she
likes a certain important evening program, but wishes that it
would be put on in the afternoon when she sits in her rocking
chair "in the shade of the old apple tree."
One young couple about to be married wrote in to a Radio
sponsor whose program is on Monday night, and hoped on
the following Tuesday the advertiser could arrange for the
playing of the wedding march because it would be a consider-
able saving to them to be able to use their Radio instead
of hiring a musican.
Sometimes a letter comes which is worth reading thousands
of letters to find. One of these came to a broadcasting com-
pany which had been sending out bulletins of the attempted
rescue work on a sunken ship.
Hour by hour, day and night, came the bulletins giving rays
of hope, telling of the imprisoned crew.
The signs of life grew fainter and fainter and finally hope

IMES ARE GOOD AT THE
SONG SHOP
(^\T 0 Election Slump for WEAF Stars
THERE has been at least one shop in this country which was left
untouched by the old proverbial business depression of election
year, and that is the Song Shop of station WEAF.
Depression? I should say not! Neither figurative nor literal, for
business and spirits are both booming at the Song Shop, according to its
four popular proprietors — Mildred Hunt, contralto, who is delegated to
be shopkeeper in charge; B. G. De Sylva, Lew Brown and
Ray Henderson, all of whom are Miss Hunt's reliable first
assistants.
Oh, yes, think a little and you'll remember every one of the
three. De Sylva it was who became well known when Al
Jolson featured his song," 'N'Everything." And later he be-
came even better known when he had composed "California,
Here I Come," and "Memory Lane."
Lew Brown is that boon to good nature — a gag man. He
attained his greatest fame by writing the words for "Yes, We
Have No Bananas," "Collegiate," and "Don't Bring Lulu."
Above is Mildred Hunt, chief
storekeeper in the WEAF Song
Shop. Left, some of her associ-
ate merchants in the Song Shop.
And as for Ray Henderson, the whole jazz world knows
him. He has composed the music for any number of best
sellers in the popular song field, two of which are "That Old
Gang of Mine" and "Bye, Bye, Blackbird."
The Song Shop group is particularly proud of the fact that
they are able to sing compositions by members of the group —
keep it all in the family, so to speak. We shouldn't have won-
dered if having all stars in one quartette would give rise to
quarrels about just who is the star. But, not so at the Song
Shop. They've formed a very harmonious foursome. (And
we didn't mean to pun!)

W. G. Patterson
^Patterson Pioneer in the South
"KEEP Shreveport Before America"
That is Slogan for Station KSBA
By Rupert Peyton
IF THE time ever comes when monuments are set up to the men who are pioneers
in Radio, the name of W. G. Patterson, KSBA, Shreveport, La., will probably be
among, the number honored in the Southland.
Patterson was one of the first men to obtain a license in Louisiana, and back in
1922, when Radio was young, he became identified with KSBA, which is the oldest
operating station in the state.
When Patterson started in the game Radio fans were few
and far between, and the nearest approach to anything that
smacked of Radio was wireless. Through the changes that
have come in recent years, Patterson has stuck because of the
inherent love he has for his work, and the fact that he derives
satisfaction and pleasure in serving the public via KSBA.
If he has a fetish, and most people have, it is to emphasize
the fact that KSBA is broadcasting, and that the call letters
have a vital significance to all in that they "Keep Shreveport
Before America." Day and night this slogan comes from the
lips of Patterson over KSBA, and Radio fans have come to
know that both mean KSBA.
Changes in Radio and the business of broadcasting have
"come out of the air," so as to speak, and progress in station
equipment and studio operation have
grown by leaps and bounds. Patterson took up his work
before static and aerial became common to the nomenclature
of Radio fans, and he took to Radio in Shreveport when it
consisted of something with possibilities which was hedged
in mostly by an air of mystery.
Patterson's first station was licensed under the call letters
of WGAQ, and it carried 50 watts on its antenna, while its
sponsors dreamed of greater things. Later 1,000 watts came
and a magnificent studio in the Youree hotel.
The call letters were changed; fans began to hurry in their
mail and telephone requests, and programs
were analyzed. Popular programs^ developed
a following, and the Radio public took to
KSBA and the man back of the station —
Patterson. He saw the importance of
playing to the public and in building
routine schedules at KSBA, stressed
the importance of popularizing every
feature possible.
Above, Lucile Alexander and
Fannie Lee Banks, blues ar-
tists. Left, Mrs. G. H. Cas-
sity, soprano.
Recently, A. C. Steere, capitalist and devel-
oper, together with S. R. Elliott of the Inter-
state Electric _ company, teamed up with
Patterson, the idea being to further improve
the facilities of the station and enlarge upon
its service.
The sponsors of KSBA contemplate a plant
with from 5,000 to 10,000 watts, extended
studio facilities and remote pickups. The
transmitting plant is to be removed from
Shreveport to Dixie Gardens, which is located
nearly eight miles from the city. With the
change it is expected that KSBA will operate
on a larger basis, and its field of operation be
materially extended.
The staff of regular artists working before the mike at KSBA
includes Lucile Alexander and Fannie Lee Banks, a clever team;
Muriel Frost, Jane Guy, Bruce Banks and Mrs. G. H. Cassity.
One would be lacking in a sense of appreciation to turn the dials
and not enjoy the blues of Lucile and Fannie, who are past masters
in the art of pepping up songs and giving their numbers the color
and snap essential to their presentation.
Bruce Banks is another ace on the staff of KSBA, being a 16-
year-old tenor, whose solo work has endeared him to the hearts of
thousands of followers of the station. Banks has a delightful voice
and a pleasing Radio personality.
Mrs. Cassity has been endowed with a beautiful soprano voice, and her solos
have become a regular feature from KSBA.
Another team that has a host of admirers at KSBA consists of Jane Guy and
Muriel Frost. They are Mansfield artists and never fail to please with their
Radio renditions.
Patterson has taken the initiative, bringing the better things to KSBA,
and giving the station the best whenever it is offered and proved
worthy.

Are You a Radio Letter Writer?

was abandoned. Then a letter came from a mother of one of
the boys in the unlucky crew. She told how she sat by the
Radio at all hours to hear words of hope for the life of her son.
She ended her beautiful letter by the words, "the song is
ended but the melody lingers on."
She will always feel grateful to the Radio and its sponsors
for what they did.
MANY have said they were moved to write a note to some
Radio sponsor. Then they felt, oh, what's the use. The
manufacturer probably wouldn't even read their letter. It's
wasted time.
That's a mistaken attitude. Your letters will be welcome,
whether they are favorable or not. It would be better if you
can tell what features you like and what you don't like. That
is one of the chief ways the right course is learned.
The days of the heaviest Radio mail are no doubt over.
Yet some Radio fans write almost every week. They are
practically personal friends with the advertiser whom they
have never met and perhaps never will. Letters written today,
while somewhat less numerous, are undoubtedly better in
quality. They used to be applause only. Now they more
often contain constructive suggestions.
Possibly in the gradual adjustment of this great new
medium of contact with the general public the importance of
letters will become better appreciated by the listeners, and
thumbs up or thumbs down, will be more clearly indicated
as the result. .
Your letters are the straws which show how the changing
-winds of public reactions move. They are sunset and evening
star and one clear call, so far as some of the largest Radio
backers are concerned.
They are one of those pleasant things which put the ro-
mance and human element into modern business.

certs to the fullest extent of their well-known abilities and gifts.
"We will now play the first number on tonight s program—
Goldmark's Overture, 'In Springtime.'"
THE Chicago Symphony Orchestra concerts, sponsored by
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, are heard on Sunday
evenines between 6:00 and 7:00 o'clock, Central Standard Time,
through WGN, WTMJ, WOC, WOW, WHO, WDAF, KSD
and WCCO. A dance orchestra, exponent of polite syncopa-
tion, is also presented from Chicago by the Standard Oil Com-
pany on Thursday nights through the same group of stations.
Another cultural contribution Chicago is making to the Radio
entertainment of the nation is the series of Wednesday night.
Balkite Hours, wherein an hour of the Chicago Civic Opera
is broadcast through the NBC system. The technique of put-
ting these performances on the air has been greatly developed
since the 1927-28 opera series. During each broadcast from
the Auditorium, home of the Civic Opera, a symphonic orches-
tra and a group of operatic vocalists stand by, ready for a
"fill-in." The opera is heard by Radio listeners between 9:00
and 10:00 p. m., Central Standard Time. If the running time
of the stage performance does not permit inclusion of all the
opera's "high spots" in this hour, J. Oliver Riehl, NBC super-
visor of music at Chicago, presents them from the studio with
his selected talent. ■
In this manner Barre Hill, brilliant young baritone of the
Chicago Civic Opera, made his operatic debut on the air ten
days before he appeared on the Auditorium stage. The pre-
scribed hour could include only the second act of "The Masked
Ball," as presented to the visible audience. Hill, in the studio,
sang "Eri 'tu," the famous aria that occurs in the third act.
Helen Freund sang the "Page's Song" from the first act. Thus,
in adroitly arranged tabloid form, the best of the whole opera
is broadcast.
Eighteen microphones are used in "picking up" the operas.
In a control room below stage Don Bernard, Chicago program
manager, sits "in a huddle" with Charles Gray, control engi-
neer, and a Morse operator holding contact with the New York
and Chicago nuclei. Bernard follows the opera score meticu-
lously; Gray's eyes are fixed on a quivering needle that gauges
volume. Together they monitor the performance. Bernard
speaks in an endless monotone. . . .
" Put it up . . . hold it . . . down . . . piano .
very piano . . . down now . . . here comes a high note . . .
crescendo . . . signal Moore to move mikes back in hall for
off-stage chorus . . . put it up. . . . "
The act ends; the vigilant monitors hold the balance, soften
the applause.
"All mikes out except arch . . . signal Riehl in studio . . .
fade it slowly . . . signal Daniel to start. ..."
A tiny light blinks in the announcing booth and John B.
Daniel starts speaking. Through his long association with
singers and his own extensive musical training the son of
Tom Daniel, the celebrated English basso, is thoroughly
equipped to limn verbally the musical significance of the opera.
His experience in Radio and on the stage enables him to in-
terpret the technical phases in lucid and entertaining language.
In the control room at 180 North Michigan Avenue Howard
Luttgens, division engineer of the NBC, and an assistant,
"feed" the broadcast to KYW, WJZ, WBZ, WBZA, WBAL,
WHAM, KDKA, WJR, WLW, KWK and WCCO. Three
Morse men attend the clicking keys.
The minute hand hovers at ten o'clock. The operator below
stage taps his staccato signal — "Take it away!" The Opera
. Hour is ended.
With these and various other network programs going
weekly to the nation, Chicago stands in grave danger of losing
its naughty reputation. Already distant listeners are evolving
a mental picture of old Father Dearborn putting on his tall hat,
adjusting his evening coat, and attuning a hoity-toity ear to
little Miss Euterpe.

becoming to the crinkly gold hair of the young woman turning
over the pages of a music score at the top of a big piano. She
is a very small, slight person in a yellow gown with gold
slippers. If the force of gravity went off ever so little she
w'ould be walking about three inches off the ground! Of
course it's Jessica Dragonette. Dont' be silly — who else could
it be? Her small hand has a very strong handclasp and her
small face a quick, cordial smile. Did you ever try to talk to
most singers before a large concert? But Miss Dragonette,
who is just going to sing to some scores of thousands of
listeners, is perfectly collected and ready for a chat.
"And so is everyone else in the room.
"It is beginning to fill now very fast as we approach the
zero hour, so let us back up against the wall out of the way.
The musicians take their seats. Most of them are wearing
gray linen smocks. Harold Stanford steps up on his con-
ductor's stand. The singers drift toward the microphone
where the 'old stager' is standing already, his face turned
toward the control room. You can just see the operator
through the glass like a big fish in a dark aquarium.
"Half a minute of the hour. A breathless hush. Everyone
in place. It is not so much that they are waiting to start.
Everyone is holding back, stretching every nerve, not to
start before the right second. It has all the thrill of the
moment before a horse race or the starting of some fast train.
"The voice of the announcer begins. It is wholly informal
and very quiet. Bows cross strings, the piano glides into the
music, the old stager's voice takes up the story. Miss Drag-
onette steps to the microphone with Dan Gridley. We're on
the air!
UrPHE charming Victor Herbert music flows .in. Henry
J- M. Neeley, the 'old stager,' adds two seconds to the
time gained, he holds up an improvised sign to the conductor,
'encore o.k.' 'That was a lovely song, Jessica. Can we have
the chorus again?' 'Yes.'
"Again the music and Mr. Neeley's friendly comments.
"For all the tenseness in the room you can hear how smooth,
how effortless it must all sound where dials are tuning in, in
thousands of homes. You can see the farm living room with
the cat stretched on the floor, the campfire where the chil-
dren perhaps are joining in the chorus, the wide veranda
with the music floating through the open window and mixing
with the sound of the waves on a distant beach, the young
couple in a tiny flat, the mechanic and the invalid, the old
woman with folded hands, the lighthouse keeper and the
student. 'I hear America singing.'
"For this is no audience of gallery gods and box holders. It
is as wide as the continent and as varied as its people and
races are.
"The man in the control room signals. One minute more,
half a minute. Two seconds. 'Please stand by.' A breathless
hush. No sound must go over the air which has not been
planned for and released and worthy of its audience.
"A raised hand drops. Conversation breaks out. Doors
open. The hour is over."
Sanford, because of his long association with Herbert and
his experience in the production and staging of light operas,
is eminently qualified in the field in which he is now enlisted.
His knowledge of scores and the time he has devoted to the
production end of the game have been invaluable to him in
presenting the light operas offered under the banner of the
Philco forces.
Neely and Sanford are responsible for "Memories," the mu-
sical signature of the Philco Hour. It has run well above
30,000 copies and continues to be popular with the fans.
And this is the gist of the story of the busy life in which our
charming little Radio star, Jessica Dragonette, lives and has
her being. You'll know her better now.

Z^oice of the Reader
TTERE we are, back again with the Voice of the Listener. Letters of general interest
£~1 were selected for a starter. We zvould like to present this page as a discussion
forum on Radio subjects of general interest. Let it be an exchange of ideas for the
good of the cause, but please let us avoid the technical subjects that deal with the machin-
ery of Radio transmission and reception. Sit down and write a thought for this page.
If you give us enough interesting letters (not necessarily just friendly tributes to Radio
Digest) we will make it two pages. What do you say?
Greetings to Stations
1HAVE long felt it a matter of duty
to write some letters to the Canadian
and American broadcasting stations
which furnish us with such excellent
programs. It seems to me I cannot do
so in any better way than by a letter
to all of them through the Radio Digest.
And so I take this opportunity to ex-
press my sincere appreciation. We are
listening here day and night and we do
enjoy the programs so much. Keep up
the good work. Best wishes and suc-
cess

We've Tried That, Too
As a subscriber to Radio Digest I
would say I am deeply interested in the
future of the paper. It seems to me
there is room for a Radio newspaper —
a publication that will collect all the
news regarding broadcasting and what
is going on in the Radio world. This,
with many of the features already in-
cluded in your paper, would appeal to
the Radio fans. I wonder if it is not
possible. It seems as if a paper of this
type would come in time. Why not
your paper? In its present form it does
not seem to be of much value except to
please the people who broadcast, and
the stations. It comes so seldom it gets
stale before the next copy comes and
one loses interest. Hoping your paper
may live and fill the place open.

Clip Pictures for Album
I believe that one of the features of
most general interest to the average
Radio listener in your magazine at pres-
ent is the pictures and brief sketches of
the popular Radio artists and announ-
cers. Hearing the artists over the air
over a period of time, one naturally
forms a mental picture of the artists.
When we meet them or see their pic-
tures sometimes our mental picture is
correct and sometimes it is not so cor-
rect. Who, from listening, could picture
Matt Thompkins? I noticed one of my
children the other evening cutting pic-
tures out of Radio Digest and pasting
them in a scrap book so that, as they
heard a Radio artist, they could look at
the picture.
As you know, it is pretty hard to
keep a file of magazines in a home and
find what you want in back numbers.
I believe if you would, from your cuts,
make up a booklet of pictures of all the
popular or noted artists that appear on
Radio programs, that it would meet
with a ready sale and advertise your
magazine. They could be sold for you
by the Radio stations themselves. They
could be combined with your very ex-
cellent Radio log, which appeared in
the last Radio Digest.

This Is Real Bouquet
I am very much in favor of having
the Voice of the Listener restored back
in Radio Digest. I think this column
was very interesting. It gave the read-
ers a chance to know what other people
thought about stations, programs, etc.
I think the Radio Digest is the most
wonderful Radio magazine printed. It
is my favorite of all the magazines.
(Even including American, Colliers,
etc.). I can hardly wait from one maga-
zine until time for the next issue. I
have taken Radio Digest for two years
and will continue doing so until I die.
I wish Radio Digest was published more
than four times a year.

Thanks, Mr. Affleck
Please accept my congratulations
upon the wonderful improvement in the
new Radio Digest. I am writing in re-
sponse to your request for opinions as
to whether or not you should revive
the Voice of the Listener column. My
belief is that the restoration of this col-
umn is all that is necessary to make
your magazine undoubtedly the fore-
most Radio publication of its kind in the
country. In the old days when Radio
Digest was a weekly, I, personally, got
more kick out of the Voice of the Lis-
tener section than any other part of the
magazine. Wishing Radio Digest the
best of success.

Too Much About Chains?
For the past several numbers of
Radio Digest I have noticed that most
of the articles, news and other informa-
tion you carry, seems to be devoted to
the so-called chain stations. Has it ever
occurred to your staff that many of the
readers might be interested in having
some news or other information con-
cerning the so-called local stations? Of
course, we all like to know about the
chain stations and their way of doing
things but the thought occurred that
readers might be interested in local sta-
tions. A. L. McKEE,

"Give Those Call Letters!"
I have often been surprised at the
slovenliness of some broadcasters in
calling their station letters and towns;
they call them indifferently, and at long
intervals, so that if a little static or dis-
traction of some kind interferes you may
go for an hour before catching the sta-
tion, if even then. It is highly im-
portant now when we are all casting
about to find satisfactory stations, but
it is important at all times, and a few
stations lose no interval to call the sta-
tions.
You might help us listeners and the
stations as well by calling their atten-
tion to this small matter. I notice some
of your Chicago stations are very care-
less, at least it appears so.
I like your magazine very much.

Microphone Brings Jolson Fame
(Continued from page 9)
GRAUMAN put the show on as a novelty, saying that for
such houses as his it would remain probably in that class.
Jack Warner, production chief of Warner Bros., whose home
and work is in Hollywood and not in New York, where
the Vitaphone work was done at that time, thought a great
deal about Vitaphone that night, and a great deal about
that little short subject of Jolson's.
When Jolson had first been approached by Sam Warner
in New York to make the short subject, he had refused to
appear before the camera. Like others, he was extremely
sceptical about the possibilities of Vitaphone, and in addition
he hac1 had one unfortunate experience with motion pictures,
leaving him with the belief that the screen robbed him of
so much of his stage personality that it would be poor busi-
ness to go before the camera under any consideration. War-
ner Bros., however, knew that they must get the biggest
names in the entertainment world on their discs or the
public would not even come to hear and be convinced. The
Radio networks later followed the same policy until today
we not only hear the world's greatest artists on the air but
later can see and hear them via the talking film.
Finally Warners offered Jolson so much for the one little
ten-minute record that he could hold out no longer. A
stipulation of his original contract, so it is supposed, was
that he was to sing three songs only and not more than six-
teen "takes" were to be made for a master wax selection.
After making this short subject Jolson went back with the
Schuberts in another revue and Warner Bros, continued to
increase the prestige of Vitaphone by not only making similar
short subjects with great stars of the operatic and concert
stage but also by producing several of their pictures with
accompaniment similar to "Don Juan."
Exhibitors began to install equipment for the pictures that
sang and talked, other producing companies began to in-
vestigate the possibilities of this new method of entertain-
ment. Warners removed their Vitaphone plant to Holly-
wood and Sam Warner came to the West Coast to continue
as the guiding head of that department of their business.
Several months later, while in the midst of plans for expan-
sion and exploitation and Vitaphone, plans that Warner Bros,
have followed almost to the letter, he died. He was cut off
in the prime of an unusually useful life, not living to see the
completion of his model theater in Hollywood, nor to see
Vitaphone accepted by its critics and his company rise to a
great leader in the amusement world. The film colony of
Hollywood has never paid another the tribute it did pay
to the genius of Sam Warner, who beyond question of doubt,
will be remembered as the spirit that made the talking motion
picture possible. '
BEFORE he passed away, Sam Warner had visions of a fea-
ture length picture wherein the leading character not only
spoke some lines but would sing several songs as well. A
story was finally purchased that seemed ideal for this new
medium of entertainment. It was "The Jazz Singer," which
George Jessel had starred in for several seasons with great
success. It seemed to have everything necessary for the
final convincing proof that the talking-singing picture was
not a novelty but was here to stay.
Due to a disagreement and conflicting contracts, Warner
Bros, found it impossible to use Jessel for the role that
he had played on the stage. It was a bitter disappointment
at the time arud temporarily held up production on the picture.
At this point Jolson again enters into the story. Perhaps
his history is well-known. If so, skip the next few para-
graphs.
Al Jolson, whose real name is Asa Yoleson, was born in
Washington, D. C, the son of a Jewish cantor, who re-
gretted the theatrical talent wh; .h his son manifested at an
early age. In spite of his father's protests and threats there
was no keeping Al Jolson from appearing before the public,
and he appeared when very young in a performance in Wash-
ington of Israel Zangwill's "Children of the Ghetto." His
school days ended there.
Later he ran away from home and joined a circus as a
ballyhoo man, for which a pair of leather lungs was the
chief requirement. Jolson has never forgotten his experiences
with the circus, and if asked today about them follows up with
a flood of reminiscences. They provided him with a store-
house of experiences of incalculable value to his career.
Shortly after the Spanish-American war he sang in a
Washington cafe, which engagement ended abruptly when
the elder Yoleson, maddened at the thought that the son
of a Jewish cantor should sing in a cafe, had his son placed
in a House of Refuse. Not long after, however, the boy
became ill and his father repented and took him home.
Once again under the home roof Jolson quickly recovered
(always an excellent actor) and as soon as possible there-
after got another theatrical job. This time he joined
Al Reeve's burlesque show, which for many years was known
as the greatest of all burlesque performances.
AFTER a year or two with Al Reeves he induced his brother
to join him, and with a third partner they appeared in
vaudeville as Jolson, Palmer and Jolson. Vaudeville yielded
only a meager wage. He appeared in white face and the
public did not feel that Jolson, Palmer and Jolson were better
than hundreds of other third-rate acts.
In black face it was different. "I recall vividly how I came
to black up," says Jolson. "I was from Washington, you
know, and while I was unable to employ a regular dresser,
I did have an old southern darky who assisted me occasion-
ally. All my life I've had a fondness for children and negroes
of the South, and I used to imitate the talk of this old darky
while he was helping me get ready for my act. One night
this old dresser of mine said to me while I was playing at
a little theater in Brooklyn: 'Boss, if you-all's skin be black
they'd always laugh.' I thought it might turn out to be an
idea after all and decided to try it.
"I got some burnt cork and blackened up and rehearsed
before the old darky. When I finished he chuckled and
said, 'Mistah Jolson, you's jus' as funny as me.' "
Jolson in blackface was an overnight hit, and from that
November day in 1909 he was uniformly successful. His
blackface routine got him a place with Dockstader's Minstrels.
"My big break came in 1911," continued Jolson. "I was
still with the minstrel show and thinking I was on top of
the world — and I was compared with my vaudeville days.
We played a show and J. J. Schubert — yes, the same fellow —
was in the audience. It was a fortunate occasion, because
it was the year of the opening of the Winter Garden and,
although I did not know it at the time, they were looking
for talent."
J. J. Schubert thought Jolson would do, and the asso
ciation was begun with the two theatrical producers that has
lasted to this day.
Jolson's first Winter Garden productions were "Bow Sing"
and "La Belle Paree." Thereafter he appeared in any num-
ber of the Winter Garden shows, always with ever-increasing
popularity. At the Winter Garden his fame as a "mammy
singer" began, became world-wide and have set a standard
for thousands of imitators.
AFTER productions like "The Whirl of Society," "The
Review of Reviews" and "Vera Violetta," the Schubert's
thought it time to give Jolson a bigger place on the bill.
Accordingly in 1923 he was co-featured with that most
remarkable personality and dancer from Paris, Gaby Deslys.
in "The Honeymoon Express."
"The Honeymoon Express" verified the Schubert's belief
that he had arrived, and in the following year he was starred
as the attraction of the Winter Garden production in "Dancin'
Around."
His first great success was "Robinson Crusoe, Jr.," in 1916
(can it be that long ago), which he followed with 'Sinbad."
By the time "Bombo" was produced Jolson was recognized
as America's greatest entertainer and a playhouse, Jolson's
Fifty-Ninth Street Theater, was named for him.
So it was Jolson, the world's greatest entertainer, star of
the Schubert extravaganza "Big Boy," who came to the
Biltmore Theater in Los Angeles, on the crest of his wave
of popularity, so it seemed, whom the two Warner brothers,
Jack and Sam, set to entice to take the place of Jessel in the
"Jazz Singer."
Again in was an opportune moment in Jolson's career. He
was tired frankly of more than a decade of appearing in
one revue after another, even though his greatest enjoy-
ment is getting up before an audience and singing his songs
for them until his voice goes to a whisper. But four more
weeks of the run for "Big Boy" remained and these were
scheduled for San Francisco.
Jolson listened to the two brothers, came out to their
Hollywood studios and heard the improvements in technique
that had been made in recording since the time he had made
his short subject. Several months would elapse before the
Schubert's were to have another show for him. One night,
at a little dinner party, Jolson took the two brothers' hands
and signified his intention of doing the "Jazz Singer." That
was a dramatic climax in his own career destined to bring
him millions of new admirers.
With Jolson, to do a thing is to throw his whole heart
and effort into its making. "The Jazz Singer" went into
production with Alan Crosland as its director. Crosland was
the director who made "Don Juan" and two other pictures
with John Barrymore, and the director who had had more
sound film experience than any up to that time.
For the first time in his career Jolson was asked to do
more than sing mammy songs. Here was a story full of
pathos that required some real acting. Not only acting,
but accomplishing a result with always a thought in mind of
a microphone hanging overhead and a wax that was being
cut. Long nights shooting on the two small sound stages
that Warner's had built to produce short subjects on and
later on the stages that were only temporarily equipped to
handle recording. Takes and re-trkes and the heart-breaking

LITTLE JACK LITTLE, right, and Happy
Harry Geise, left, two Radio artists young in
years but old in experience, who have an army
of followers.
LITTLE JACK LITTLE and his mail appeal!
Wherever he goes this little giant of the air draws
letters by thousands, and if he ever should announce
his intention of running for President on the democratic ticket
it will be time for the republicans to become alarmed.
In the picture shown above, Little Jack Little is answer-
ing one of the flood of telephone calls that followed imme-
diately after one of his broadcasts. Happy Harry Geise, chief
announcer at KSTP, St. Paul, is helping to open up the
letters. "How-do-you-do, Harry," that's what they used to
call* him in Chicago, seems to be happy about what he is
reading, so we — that means you, too, dear reader — may rea-
sonably suppose that this billet doux has a word or two of
mutual interest for the two of them.
But, speaking of the telephone calls, Jack and Harry intro-
duced a novelty during the brief visit of the former at the
St. Paul station. They put the listeners on the air. Oh, yes,
indeed. You will have to get the technical information as to
details from the station engineer, but it's true. Somebody
called up from Dallas, Texas, and the operator hooked the
call into the microphone. If the Dallas fan had been listen-
ing to the loud-speaker while he was making his call, he
would have heard his voice come back to him — all the way
from Dallas to St. Paul and back to Dallas. Everybody else
who happened to be listening in at the time also heard the
voice from Texas.
Then came other calls, one from Lima, Ohio; another from
Glendive, Mont.; others from Elkhart, Ind.; Sioux City, Iowa;
Milwaukee, Wis.; Aberdeen, S. D., and Bismarck, N. D.
But Little Jack Little is a flighty favorite — here today,
somewhere else tomorrow. Wherever he goes he is warmly
welcomed in return. From St. Paul he hopped down to
WLW, Cincinnati, and there he remains to this very day.
according to last accounts.

RADIO'S first leading lady, who was playing leads while
still in her 'teens, has cemented her claims to this unique
title more closely than ever.
Rosaline Greene, who was the leading lady of the famous
little band of WGY players at Schenectady during her college
days in Albany, is now a leading lady of the Eveready Hour,
which has been the medium for the introduction by Radio of
a long list of stage and concert stars during the five years of
its existence.
Supported by a regular stock company, which includes a
number of actors and actresses known to legitimate theatre
goers, she has already received warm critical approval for her
work in three recent Eveready Hour continuity productions
and will soon be heard in other ambitious undertakings which
that pioneer program has scheduled for this new year.
Although, in the interim following her work with the WGY
players and before her appearance in the Eveready Hour
studios, she played in stock and on Broadway, Miss Greene
possesses no desire to win triumphs upon the visible stage in
preference to her Radio successes.
The girl who, as the new star of the Eveready Hour played
Joan of Arc in the production of that name, and who was
Josephine to Lionel Atwill's Napoleon in the play of the latter
title, is firmly wedded to a permanent Radio career.
Possessed of a splendid voice, whose clear tones won for her
first prize for the best Radio voice at the Radio World's Fair,
the Eveready leading lady has more than the average actress'
share of beauty and charm. It is easy to imagine her as a
popular matinee idol on Broadway.
ROSALINE GREENE took to stage in her 'teens
and now heads stock company for exclusive
Eveready Hour presentations.
Rosaline Greene was born on Long Island and attended the
New York State Teachers' college at Albany, where she was
picked from a number of members of the school's dramatic
society by the WGY director, for a Radio try-out. From WGY.
after a year of teaching elocution, she went to New York a few-
years ago, to meet with similar successes in a number of Radio
productions.

HAT is beauty and how can
every woman have it," was
asked every one of the artists
on this page and it is a question every
one of us asks. In this day of modern
inventions and modern ideas of styles
and cosmetics, it is possible for every
woman to have individual charm and
style. Of course, no doubt, Helen Dry-
den, to the left, who has designed stage
settings and costumes as well as fash-
ions and magazine covers, likes a chic
loveliness. Her own simple smartness
shows this. Dean Cornwell, whose pic-
ture is next to Miss Dryden, is a mural
painter and admires those lovely crea-
tures, who would look best on his can-
vas, of classic graceful appearance. Who
doesn't know the pretty ladies James
Montgomery Flagg, left, has drawn for
a generation? From his illustrations I
should say he likes blondes of curving
lines. Arthur William Brown, who turns
his profile this way, is certainly a judge of beauty because he has
been on the job of helping select Miss America from the swarms of
girls who come each year to Atlantic City.
WHO CAN help but wonder if John Held, Jr., below with the mus-
tache, really likes the thin little flapper he creates, and if Pehnryn
Stanlaws, next to him, only admires the beautiful ladies of his pen and
brush. At any rate, all of these people have been heard over the Na-
tional Broadcasting company network telling what they think is
beaut)', but the simple statement of Hazel Rawson Cades, whose pic-
ture is not here, appeals to the modern woman much more. She says,
"Beauty is quite unimportant. This is the age of smartness and smart-
ness is simply a matter of education and keeping up-to-the-minute."
This smartness Mrs. Cades speaks about, is impossible without a
few beauty aids. Why do some women scorn to accept these and have
a feeling of superiority because they will not use a bit of rouge, lip-
stick and eye darkener. Ragged brows, too light lashes, a sallow skin
are not things to be proud of, especially when it is so possible to
disguise defects with modern makeup.
The most important feature of the face and the one to be given
prominence is the eye, for this is the season of accented eyes. Whether
they are blue, brown, black, green or hazel they can be made to look
larger, deeper in tone and even coquetish with a little treatment. Of
course, the colors we wear help to accent them. Brown, tan and yellow
bring out the sparkle and color of brown eyes. The light blue ones
gain in tone quality from deep blues and greens. Violet eyes reflect

By Josephine Felts
Who Speaks through WJZ of the NBC System on Friday afternoons at 2:30
~\\ THENEVER someone asks me what type of clothes to wear I always feel strongly tempted to
\\ refer her to that wise old maxim, "know thyself" for no advice could be more profitable when it
T T comes to the art of dressing well.
Several seasons ago most of us wore much the same frocks and colors with utter
sregard of our own characteristic quirks. But the creators of costumes decided this
Duld never do. So they got together and devised ways and means of stimulating our ,,
lert imaginations. They completely reversed the standard of smartness until it came to
lean individuality. The influence of personality invaded the shops. Instead of persuad-
a reluctant customer with, "Why, they're
wearing this frock," the clever saleswoman
iow holds her interest by telling her that this
the only frock of its kind, subtly intimating
that this particular patron is the logical person
to wear it successfully.
In my opinion, type is a very much over-
done word, anyhow, and it really is dreadfully
misleading. There are so few women who
have all the attributes that go to make up a
type. In fact it is, in all probability,
those unexpectedly dark eyes that
make one's blonde hair so inter-
esting or a glorious ivory skin
that gives such glossy overtones
to black hair.
Suppose you take stock of your-
self frankly and impersonally, leav-
ing out of consideration any
thought of type. You will un-

doubtedly find both good points and bad. The best
way to minimize your imperfections is to emphasize
your good features. And that's where the smart
woman comes to the fore, for clothes have the power
to make you either the picture or the background,
and who in this day and age wants to be background?
The thing is to know yourself.
There is, for instance, the question of hats. Most
hats are rather simple in treatment and material, so
it is most important for you to be careful to select
the hat that means you. If you are round-faced and a
bit chubby don't, for heaven's sake, go in for one of
those very popular visca tricot turbans even if all
your friends do think they're perfectly adorable. Some
kind of modified brim or one-sided treatment will give
longer lines to your face and be infinitely more be-
coming. On the other hand your features may be
irregular. Your hat should have a soft rippling brim
that lends a softness to your face, or can even be one of those dashing up-on
one-side, down-on-the-other hats. Color need not puzzle the woman who
knows her good points, for there is such a wide range to choose from that
anyone can wear her favorite shade and still be modish. Of course, newer and
brighter colors are prevalent in spring, but many of them are the greyed or
muted tones that are almost universally flattering.
Costume harmony includes the consideration of fabric and color and appro-
priateness of the custome to its purpose. Very few women would wear low -
heeled oxfords with a rather formal afternoon frock, and yet many of them
think nothing of wearing high heeled slippers and very sheer hose with tweeds
or, other difinite sportswear. It is impossible to achieve chic without assem-
bling your costume so that the accessories and the frock or coat have a
definite relation. The accessories should match (Continued on page 108)

Clever Cook Uses Leftovers
m
By Mildred Davis TeMnan
Mildred Davis Terman, Director of the KDKA Home Forum, is on the air at 10:30 a. m. each morn-
ing zvith practical hints for saving time and money.
PRACTICALLY any woman can serve tempting meals
if she has everything with which to work and can market
as she desires, but it takes a clever cook to use what she
has at hand and to prepare it so that the resulting meal
is an appetizing and tasty one.
Using the left-over is an important part of any housekeeper's
work, for in this way she is able to keep within her budget.
In planning the weekly expenditures how many of you con-
sider not only the actual money spent for food, but your gas
and your time as well? When you cook enough potatoes to
last two days, you are saving on the fuel used. No more heat
is needed to boil
ten vegetables than
to cook six. The
next day you can
spend a shorter
time getting the
dinner ready. The
economy of your
own time is just as
important as the
economy of the
food and fuel.
Using up the left-
overs test the
imagination of the
housewife. There
is an art to good
cooking. One
woman will look at
a few cold pota-
toes, peas, lettuce
and apricots and
perhaps, a _ bit of
steak, and sink dis-
consolately into a
chair, whereas, an-
other will visualize
an attractive meal.
Perhaps a cas-
serole of the pota-
toes and meat with
a few onions added
to give flavor, a
salad made of the
peas, apricot short- 1
cake will make an if
appetizing dinner.
Test your family I
with well cooked §
left-overs and you 1
will be surprised |
how well they will
be r e c e i v e d. If
cooked just right,
they are tasty and
have even more flavor
than the first day's
meals. But I do think
that Americans as a
whole need to learn to season their food more temptingly. The
addition of just the right pinch of pepper and the right amount
of salt and other spices improves the taste.
In the following menu, the main dishes have as their basis,
food which has been left over from other meals.

William S. Hedges is one of the oldest
Radio editors in the United States and
is head of the NAB.
WILLIAM S. HEDGES, Radio edi-
tor of the Chicago Daily News, was
elected president of the National Asso-
ciation of Broadcasters recently. The
annual meeting of the association was
held in Washington, the work of the last
year being reviewed and plans for the
future were formulated.
Hedges has been active in Radio cir-
cles and is the author of the industry
plan for compliance with the provisions
of the amended Radio law. At one time
he was chairman of the joint committee
representing the NAB, the Radio Manu-
facturers Association and the Federated
Radio Trades Association, which was
responsible for the presentation of the
industry plan before the Federal Radio
Commission last spring.
He has represented WMAQ, the Chi-
cago Daily News station, in the broad-
casters' association ever since the forma-
tion of that organization six years ago.
Mike Aids Jolson
(Continued from page 78)
discovery that after a perfect wax had
been cut to find a microphone, too
long exposed to the damp night air,
had sputtered and the whole thing had
to be done over again.
Not only that, but the friends and
acquaintances who tried to persuade
Jolson not to go on with the story:
that vitaphone was still unproven and
that his appearance in an early picture
might ruin his popularity on the stage
where his fame and success had been
built up.
IT was a nervous time around the
studio. Once a scene was being
recorded (perhaps you remember it in
the picture) where Jolson comes to the
tabernacle to sing "Kol Nidre" in place
of his father, who lay ill at home. For
atmosphere in this scene the greatest
care was taken to see that every detail
was correct. The extras in the syn-
agogue scene were all orthodox Jews,
many with traditional beards and
carrying their own prayer shawls, not
deigning to use those from the prop-
erty room.
Jolson sang "Kol Nidre" again and
again. Finally a wax was cut that was
satisfactory and the scene struck. As
the extras were leaving many were
seen to wipe away tears that had been
brought to their eyes by the mammy
singer's interpretation of this song of
their race. From a dark corner where
he had been watching the action, Jack
Warner stepped into the light and
shook Jolson's hand.
"I think it's going to be a good pic-
ture, Al," he said.
It was more than a good picture.
When first shown in New York the
"Jazz Singer" definitely sounded the
knell of the old-time silent picture. It
enthralled its hearers. Here was a new
Jolson, an actor, as well as a singer.
Exhibitors who had scoffed at the
thought of pictures that talked began a
mad scramble to get the necessary
equipment to show "The Jazz Singer"
and other pictures of Jolson that War-
ner Bros, promised to deliver. It broke
records everywhere, a sensation where
shown whether in the talking or silent
version. Jolson, instead of being at
the height of his popularity, was just
being discovered. The picture went to
London, where crowds of unheard of
size attended the showings. The
amount of money the picture has grossed
will not be known until it is finally put
on the shelf, still far in the future.
However, it can be said without con-
tradiction that few, if any, pictures ever
produced have exceeded its reeord so
far.
RADIO and the talking picture were
developed. The National Broad-
casting Company wanted to show the
people of the United States the pos-
sibilities of this medium of entertain-
ment. The extension of their networks
to the far West was planned, as well
as to the South, but telephone facilities
were not sufficient to take care of the
more exacting demands of broadcasting.
The Bell Telephone Company set to
work to build lines where needed so
that a test at least could be made to
determine the feasibility of the project.
The cost of such a test was tremendous.
In addition, the NBC wanted the atten-
tion of every person within range of
a Radio receiver so that the possibilities
of this"' system of program extension
could be brought home sharply.
Do you remember the Dodge
Brothers Hour? Twenty minutes in
New York with Paul Whiteman, Will
Rogers from Hollywood, Al and
Dorothy Stone in Chicago and Al Jol-
son in New Orleans, with just two
minutes of the time in Detroit. A long
time ago, you say. Just a little over
one year. Today, nearly thirty pro-
grams transverse the continent weekly
and the total is due to go up.
"Radio taught me one thing," said Al
Jolson after the Dodge Brothers' pro-
gram in which he admittedly made a
mistake in one of his gags. "That is,
the public as a whole wants clean
entertainment and a joke that is a riot
in New York may be just the opposite
for millions of others. I've been send-
ing that girl flowers ever since trying
to make up for it."
In April, 1927, Jolson returned from
Europe to act as master of ceremonies
for the opening of Warner Bros,
theater in Hollywood, where Warner's
Radio station KFWB is now located,
fulfilling a promise he had made to Sam
Warner that he would be present for
the opening. It was the first test also
of KFWB's equipment for broadcasting
from a stage, now admittedly the best
that has been developed for such broad-
casts. Not only did Jolson broadcast
that night but has done so regularly
since, his only appearance in the East,
however, being on the initial program
for Vitaphone on the Columbia Broad-
casting System. He probably will ap-
pear again on this program sometime
in March, presumably from the West
Coast this time.
UPON his return for the theater open-
ing Warner Bros, presented their
star with a sleek, black Rolls-Royce
limousine to express their feeling for
the part he had played in making Vita-
phone known, and at the same time
Jolson prepared for the second talking
picture he was to make.
"The Jazz Singer" upset the picture
industry. Its success started the
talkies on their way and Hollywood
was talkie mad when Jolson started on
the production of "The Singing Fool,"
the title selected for his second pic-
ture. This was to be directed by Lloyd
Bacon, son of the great stage actor,
Frank Bacon, star of "Lightnin'."
Again Jolson was faced with a crisis.
His critics, such as they were, intimated
that "The Jazz Singer" and Jolson as a
screen actor might prove to be a one-
time shot, and that perhaps he had bet-
ter return to the stage where his suc-
cess was certain. Jolson and Bacon
determined to top "The Jazz Singer"
with "The Singing Fool."
Although Hollywood is over-run with
child actors, who together with fond
mamas and papas storm the casting
offices daily, but few finds among chil-
dren for screen work are ever found.
One such was Frankie Lee, the little
crippled boy in "The Miracle Man"
of ten years ago and, of course, Jackie
Coogan. The story of "The Singing
Fool" required the services of a child
about three years of age with a wistful,
pathetic expression that could be used
to advantage in several scenes with
Jolson.
Following the customary procedure
the director requisitioned the casting
office for the boy and that office, in turn,
working through the great Hollywood
clearing house for extras, the Central
Casting Bureau, put out a call for child
actors.
As was expected, the office was
swamped with applicants, each anxious
to place his or her child in Jolson's new
picture. To Joe Marks, casting director
at Warner Bros., fell the task of sifting
out of the hundreds of children a few
to show to Director Bacon and Al Jol-
son so that they might decide who
would fit the part best.
The selection took days, but no child
appeared who seemed to fit into the
part. One morning, however, as a new
batch of applicants were milling
around the casting office waiting for it
to open, Marks happened to glance out
of the window. On the outskirts of the
crowd he saw a woman holding a child
in her arms, a pale-looking little fel-
low with bobbed hair and dressed in a
sailor suit.
"What made you dash out into that
crowd and pick on that particular
youngster?" someone later asked him
after Davey Lee's part in the picture
was assured. "Well, I don't know,"
Marks replied. "It just seemed to me
that was the kid that Jolson would like
to have."
Casting director Marks, with the
mother trailing behind, walked over
to the set where Jolson was making up
for the day's work.
"Al," Marks called to him. "I think
I've got the boy for you." And he
set Davey on the stage floor. Jolson
picked him up and sat him on his knee.
"What is your name?" he asked the
child.
"My muvver calls me Sonny Boy,"
Davey replied. "What is yours?"
"Sonny Boy!" "Why — er — my name
is Uncle Al."
...— L_
"I like you, Uncle Al," and Jolson
nodded to the casting director.
After the day's shooting was over Jol-
son had a long talk over long distance
phone with New York, and in the days
that followed many more long con-
versations followed. During that month
Jolson's telephone bill at the studio was
more than a thousand dollars, prac-
tically all of which was for calls to New
York, where Bud De Sylva, Jolson's
friend and famous song writer, listened
as Jolson hummed snatches of a tune
over the wire and told him of "Sonny
Boy" David Lee. The result was the
song "Sonny Boy," one of the biggest
hits of the year.
"The Singing Fool" more than justi-
fied the efforts that Bacon and Jolson
put into it. It Opened at the Winter
Garden in New York, the same show-
house where Jolson made his name as
the world's greatest entertainer, which
had been leased by Warner Bros, to
present their Vitaphone talking pictures.
No theatrical attraction in history ever
opened to a more distinguished first
night audience and none has ever had the
advance sale that "The Singing Fool"
had during the first two months of its
run at the historic showhouse of the
Schubert productions.
Again figures are not available on
what "The Singing Fool" will make as
a box office attraction. Due to the
greater number of houses wired for talk-
ing pictures, it undoubtedl}' will gross
more than "The Jazz Singer," and there
is every indication that it may make an
all-time record for a picture, eclipsing
the records set by the great spectacle
films.
By the time this appears in print Jol-
son will be working on his third Vita-
phone picture. Like the two predeces-
sors it has a marvelous box office title,
"Mammy." No one knows what the
story is, but your guess is as good as
the next fellow's, and by mid-summer
you will be able to go to your favorite
theater and see and hear the master of
mammy singers in "Mammy." It ought
to be another hit.
It is not correct to say that Jolson
put the talking picture over. Un-
doubtedly it would have gone over with
or without him. It is probably true,
however, that Jolson and "The Jazz
Singer" put the talking picture in its
present fine position a great deal sooner
than would have been possible with-
out him.
In his next picture, instead of work-
ing on two small soundproof stages,
Jolson has at his disposal, if necessary,
the most modern plant in the history
of motion pictures, a plant that has been
rebuilt almost entirely in the past year.
It includes seven great sound stages,
centralized recording equipment of the
latest type, a staff of the best musicians
in the country and so on down the line
to a pressing plant where the discs
themselves that give forth Jolson's voice
are made. Should that not be sufficient,
Jolson and his company could drive out
a mile or so over Cahuenga Pass and
into the San Fernando Valley where
an equivalent equipment on First Na-
tional Pictures lot is available.
Those two plants represent not only
an investment of many millions of dol-
lars in equipment for the making of
singing-talking films but the best brains
of the world in their respective lines.
It is an assured fact that "Mammy"
will be a better picture technically than
any of its forerunners.
Those of you who sit up late at night
to get distant stations may occasion-
ally tune in on Warner Bros, station
KI'WB, the Radio station of the mo-
tion picture industry, Hollywood, Calif.
Occasionally on its 950-kilocycle wave
you may hear the voice of Al Jolsort,
singing from the stage of the theater
in whose building KFWB is located,
or from KFWB's studios.
In addition, plans are under way to
send some transcontinental broadcasts
from Hollywood to the East, one or
more of which will feature Jolson with
his songs and that unforgettable per-
sonality that registers whether it be
from the stage, on the discs or over the
air. Perhaps we may induce him to
introduce his wife, the former Ruby
Keeler, over the air and hear the clever
taps of her shoes as she goes through
a routine for listeners scattered the
length and breadth of the continent.
And that finishes the story of Al Jol-
son, leaving the writer free for a mo-
ment to look up the length of rain-
spanked Hollywood Boulevard before
returning to the more prosaic work of
checking up on the thousand details for
tomorrow's broadcast, to assure listeners
of nothing less than a smoothly run
program. Oh, yes. One little item
for the technical minded reader. The
sound films you see and hear are made
with exactly the same kind of micro-
phones and amplifiers used by the bet-
ter broadcasting station. Signing off
until next issue.
Paris- American Radio
(Continued from page 28)
that of the Parisian newspaper, Le Petit
Parisien, situated in the heart of the
business district of the French capital.
An interesting note is that the manager
of the paper is Madame Paul Dupuy,
widow of the late senator, and an Amer-
ican by birth.
THE studio of Le Petit Parisien, one
of the best equipped in France, is
situated on the roof. It consists of one
large room, divided by heavy draperies,
with a broad outside terrace giving a
view of the city. French studios are
usually cold affairs, lacking the hospi-
table social atmosphere of an American
station, but on election night Le Petit
Parisien resembled a brilliant social
gathering, in which the artists, all in
evening dress, and many of them direct
from performances in other centers, sat
about and applauded each other after
the "mike" had been turned off.
Broadcasting from the Petit Parisien
was further made simple by the fact
that the program manager and an-
nouncer, M. John Douglas Pollack, is a
Frenchman who boasts Scotch blood
well back in his veins, and who speaks
both languages as a native. He has,
furthermore, studied at McGill Univer-
sity in Canada, and has toured the
United States from coast to coast. For
some time he was at the General Elec-
tric works in Schenectady, as well as
with the Westinghouse, and for all
these reasons, many people think him an
American. Mr. Pollack recently repre-
sented the French stations at the Inter-
national Radio Union in Geneva. He
regularly announces musical numbers
from the Petit Parisien station in both
French and English.
Mr. Pollack was at the microphone as
usual on the occasion of the election
night broadcasting, and with him was
the fourteen-piece studio orchestra, un-
der the direction of M. Francis Casade-
sus. This orchestra has won a reputa-
tion for its accompaniment of opera
and opera-comique stars who sing on the
Petit Parisien programs, as well as for
its instrumental numbers, and so could
not have been better chosen for this par-
ticular night.
John T. Schilling is the smiling, congen-
ial announcer and director of WHB, well
known Kansas City station. John T.
broadcasts an infectious smile, and pos-
sesses the happy and carefree personal-
ity that persuades the listener to turn
an attentive dial.
ANOTHER very important French
. co-operation made this American
broadcast a success. The Companie
Radio L. L., which manufactures very
fine superheterodynes, installed fifty of
these sets in various hotels, restaurants,
clubs, etc., about Paris, sending an oper-
ator with each to insure perfect func-
tioning, and about each set clustered a
group of exiles who felt less bitterly
than they had expected their distance
from home.
The largest of the groups was to be
found in the Hotel Bohy, in the very
shadow of the offices of the Chicago
Tribune. Here three sets had been
installed in order to take care of the
members of the American Club of Paris,
and of members of the American Legion
Paris Post. This was the first occasion
on which these two large men's bodies
had met in such a fashion, and among
them on election night might be counted
Norman Armour, counsellor of th<
American Embassy; Brigadier General
Harts, military attache at the Embassy;
Percy Peixotto, president of the Amer-
ican Club; Captain Lhopital, aide-de-
camp of Marshal Foch; Major General
. William Johnson; Judge Ira Wadhams;
Jo Davidson, the sculptor, and a host
of other well-known personalities in the
American Colony of Paris.
At the same time, in addition to these
stag parties at the Hotel Bohy, mixed
groups were meeting elsewhere about
town. In the beautiful lounge of the
Claridge Hotel on the Avenue des
Champs-Elysees was installed a receiv-
ing set; also at the Grand Hotel, the
Lutetia, the Commodore, the Royal
Haussmann, and several others. Night
clubs and bars, such as Johnny's Bar,
College Inn, the Perroquet, Luigi's, Zel-
leys, Butler's Pantry, and a dozen other
places popular all year around with citi-
zens from the United States, served spe-
cial American dinners while the guests
awaited the commencement of the
broadcasting.
And all over the continent, mind you,
wherever a handful of Americans might
be found together, eager ears strained

Paris-American Radio
(Continued from page 106)
toward the loud speakers, as the Amer-
ican newspaper began its unique broad-
casting event.
THE lot of reading the returns fell to
J. Douglas Cook, dramatic critic on
the Tribune. Mr. Cook has been in
France for four years, coming from San
Francisco, and as he is studying for
opera in Paris now, he found himself in
quite an unaccustomed role before the
microphone. Recent concerts at the
Hotel Plaza Athenae and the chic Res-
taurant Langer had, however, prepared
him for his unseen audience, who though
he could not see them, he could rest
assured were giving him whole-hearted
attention.
The first bulletin which Mr. Cook read
was timed 6:10 New York. It was then
11:50 in Paris. From that time on, until
the early, or rather fairly late, hours of
the morning, the tenor stayed at his post,
giving a bulletin on an average of every
ten minutes. The cable company sent
the messages over a direct line to the
Petit Parisien, where they were typed
out by the Tribune stenographer — and
at the Tribune office, where a loud
speaker had been installed. The reports
were likewise taken down from Mr.
Cook's announcements.
Meanwhile, promptly at 11, the Amer-
ican entertainment program had begun,
and this continued until the station
signed off at about 4 o'clock in the
morning. The first stars were the pop-
ular Morgan Trio. These three young
sisters — the harpist, Virginia, is. only 17
— have been touring the continent for
four years. Until recently they gave only
private performances, but they have
been so cordially received that this past
year they gave a public concert tour in
Egypt and on the Riviera, where they
played at the house of the Duke of Con-
naught and before Princess Mary. Even
before coming to Europe, however, Miss
Frances Morgan, the violiniste, Miss
Marguerite Morgan, the pianiste, and
their young sister were known to the
American public, for they had given
private concerts in the United States.
Broadcasting was not new to them, as
studios in Boston and in London had
diffused their work. They began with
a fantasy of American airs which they
had arranged themselves, and playing
individually and as a trio they gave a
long program.
One of the early performers was
Samuel Dushkin, who is probably too
well known to need an introduction, as
he has frequently been violin soloist in
symphony concerts broadcast in the
United States. Mr. Dushkin had com-
pleted a concert tour of England, Ireland
and Scotland, and was on his way to
Germany, Italy and Spain. Next season
is to bring him back to the United
States. On the election night program
Mr. Dushkin rendered exquisitely Blair
Fairchild's "Legend of Violin and Or-
chestra" with the Petit Parisien orches-
tra, which could hardly await the turn-
ing off of the microphone to applaud
him.
A SEMI-AMERICAN, if one may
call her so, the Norwegian singer,
Madame Eide Norena, who was attached
to the Chicago opera for the past two
years, and who is now engaged at the
National Opera of Paris, sang a number
of operatic selections, and in addition
Ole Bull's Shepherdess' Song, and other
American airs. For some of these she
was accompanied by Herbert Cafrick,
the brilliant American pianist who has
toured America for five years as accom-
panist and soloist with Reinald Wer-
renrath. Mr. Carrick has since made
his London concert debut on December
6, at Wigmore Hall, with Mme. Sarah
Fischer, the Canadian singer now en-
gaged at the Opera-Comique in Paris,
and will shortly make his debut in the
French capital. Mr. Carrick is one of
the old friends of the American Radio
public, for he was the first pianist to
play on the Atwater Kent hour, accom-
panying Mr. Werrenrath.
Two excellent men singers on the
American Night program are to be
included.. One, Otkar Dobes, long a
resident of Paris, was basso on the
American Quartet of Paris which was
recently disbanded because some of the
members returned to the United States.
He is now solist at the American Church
on the Rue de Berri. Dobes is that
delightful information man of the Amer-
ican Express whom Bruce Reynolds
calls "Dobes who knows it all." When
Will Rogers was in Paris he might be
found at the Dobes' desk at almost any
hour. Dobes had previously broadcast
in Paris, and on this particular night
his program included the Kutemoff
Blues. On the Road to Mandalay, and
The Flea Song from Faust. M. Andre
Bernard, a young Frenchman who has
sung at the New Orleans Opera, and
who is also a student of singing in Paris,
closed the classical program with a
delightful tenor group.
Interspersed with this amazing group
of artists were constant selections
played by the Petit Parisien orchestra-
Dixie, The Stars and Stripes Forever,
MacDowell's Woodland Sketches,
Dvorak's New World Symphony, etc.
It is not hard to imagine the joy of
the exiled listeners-in as this American
program progressed. Announcements
were in English, the songs they knew
and loved; returns were given to them
promptly by a reputable American
newspaper, and those who have lived
long abroad felt indebted to the Chicago
Tribune which rendered this splendid
service.
After 2 o'clock, the classical numbers
were replaced by livelier features, which
would have kept one from falling asleep
even if the returns themselves were not
sufficient to drive away drowsiness.
The boys from Harry's New York bar,
where one of the receiving sets was
entertaining a capacity crowd, came over
to the studio wtih their jazz, and the
French air was filled with American
Blues for another two hours.
Credit for the planning of the Amer-
ican Election Night program must be
given to the staff of the European Edi-
tion of the Chicago Tribune. Although
this was the first time the Radio had
been used by an American newspaper
abroad to herald a great event, the
European Edition of the Chicago Trib-
une was well acquainted with the organ-
ization of such a stunt since eight years
earlier it had rented the Marigny thea-
tre on the Champs-Elysees where an
"open house" was held for Americans
and bulletins were flashed on the screen.
Dressing to Your Personality
(Continued from page 81)
the costume. When the frock is printed
the accessories may match the dominant
color. A navy blue frock, for example,
patterned in beige and lighter blue
might have a navy hat and shoes and
beige hose and suede gloves which ex-
actly match. If you are partial to col-
ored shoes you should select them a
shade darker than the coat or frock.
Your costume should never consist of
two neutral colors like grey and tan.
If grey is your basic color, shades of
lavender or blue offer a charming con-
trast while tan can always be smartly
combined with brown and orange.
Joseph Gallichio, Director WMAQ
Orchestra. .
The woman who is planning her
wardrobe for the new season, finds that
prints are particularly strong and the
reason is not hard to find, for prints
combine vivid and neutral colors in
such a way that the whole forms a
delightful harmony. There are prints
for all women and for all occasions
Brilliant splashes of color in bold de-
signs for sportswear — small figures on
dark ground for street wear — odd
geometries or stylized flowers for after-
noon, and the most delicate of pastel
floral patterns for evening.
There is a type of print, for instance,
that is particularly attractive for the
older woman whose curves are begin-
ning to annoy her. This fabric consists
of odd-shaped figures of various sizes
scattered over a neutral ground in an
irregular manner. •
Incidentally, the older woman, as a
rule, does not know herself. She con
centrates, usually, on the 'contours of
her figure, forgetting two things which
are at least equally important. The
most noticeable point of neglect is the
throat. A collar which is arranged to
be high at the back and rather close in
front is flattering and hides the unavoid
able age neck lines in a much better
fashion than a high tight collar would
A light scarf for afternoon or evening
wear is a graceful way of concealing
the neck and giving a softening line
to the face. Winter coats are kind to
the older woman since their large fur
collars come right up to the point of
the chin, but spring coats can be just
as becoming with modish scarves worn
in a number of carefully casual ways.
The older woman frequently does not
realize that she cannot wear the type
of shoes the younger and slender
woman wears. If her ankles are in-
clined to be thick or her body at all
ungainly she should certainly not wear
high heels. Shoes that are too smal
draw attention to the ankles and giv
an unsteady balance which tends to
throw the body out of line, and high
heels make for a stiff uncertain gait
which is very awkward.
A moderate shaped heel on shoes that
are snug but not tight will help the
general lines of the figure and not make
the feet conspicuous. The hemline of
the skirt has a bearing on this question,
too. It should be neither even nor ex-
travagantly dipping hut just irregular
enough to be becoming and modish.

X OU can see easily that this family is in the throes of a momentous
controversy. But it's one in which all concerned are going to win out.
We can tell you confidentially that sister is strong for spending the annual vacation
in Yellowstone National Park with the bears, antelope, chipmunks, woodchucks,
pelicans, the geysers, wonderful colored pools and terraces and the thousand and one
things that make Yellowstone unique in all the world. The boys are having a hard
time deciding between a Wyoming Dude Ranch and the switchback mountain trails
of Glacier National Park — but there's a strong note of "horseback" in their calcula-
tions. Mother leans toward a summer lodge in Rocky Mountain National Park — a
haven of rest in the clean, upbuilding air of Colorado's mile-high mountain world.
Wherever your summer vacation plans take you ... if
it's West . . . The Burlington can serve you well.
Three superb trains to Colorado; two trains to Glacier National Park (one the famous
Oriental Limited); the only through train from Chicago to Magic Yellowstone,
(Yellowstone Comet); two of America's premier trains, the North Coast Limited,
and the Oriental Limited, between Chicago and the Pacific Northwest — Spokane,

clever partner, Master Fremont.
"Perfect?" No, and the receiver looks
no more like the ultimate structure will
than the old "one-lung" horseless car-
riage of twenty-five years ago looked
like the eight-cylinder limousine of to-
day.
But the ten thousand pioneering
amateurs we are nightly entertaining
with our picture broadcasts are the
Radio picture engineers of tomorrow,
for they are building up a technical
experience which will be of inestimable
value in the art later on.
After the day's work is done these
youngsters rush home, bolt a hurried
dinner, and then race away to the Radio
shack to tune in on our pantomime
broadcasts. Exactly the same thrill
which came to them with their first
crystal set and headphone, now comes
again when they pick their first motion
pictures out of the air; pictures radiated
into invisible space, from miles and
miles away, and put together by their
homemade receiver.
MANY of these amateurs have at-
tained such quality of picture that
they have moved their apparatus into
the living room, where the whole family
circle may join in the fun.
Incidentally, it is rather a surprise to
those who see these silhouette movies
for the first time to find them so enter-
taining; but the explanation is that in
movies the story is told in the action,
and half-tone quality is not necessary to
an enjoyment of them. The public is
not usually critical of first efforts, in
any new thing; the novelty alone enter-
tains for awhile.
From many letters we get, apparently
the greatest anxiety of our audience, or
should I say, optience, is that we will
eventually get tired and stop broad-
casting. To those of them who are
listening to me tonight may I say that
I have no intention of stopping our
broadcast of .pantomime pictures, for
home entertainment. On the contrary,
we are putting up a powerful station
a few miles outside of Washington to
make their picture reception easier and
the pictures better, and each broadcast
from now on will contain at least one
picture story.
The half-tones in regular movie film,
and in broadcasting from living subjects
and scenes, require a broader band.
This was recognized by the federal
Radio commission, and bands one hun-
dred kilocycles wide have been assigned
for such work. The new, more power-
ful broadcast station we are building
outside of Washington is for this width
of band, and we shall broadcast for
fireside entertainment pictures selected
from those shown in theatres.
Our present transmission on 6,420 k.c.
was undertaken principally to learn the
possibilities^ and the limitations of this
new entertainment; to build up a Radio-
movies technique, and to insure later
the availability of Radiovisors giving
larger and brighter pictures, pictures
which can conveniently be watched by
the whole family and friends of the fam-
ily circle.
Already Radiomovies are giving pleas-
ure to thousands of Radio amateurs and
short wave Radio fans. Ultimately this
pantomime story-teller will come to our
fireside with appropriate sounds and
speech, as a fascinating teacher and
entertainer, without language, literacy,
or age limitation — an itinerant visitor
to the old homestead with photoplays,
the opera, and a direct vision of world
activities.
Fan Mail Startles Coe Glade
(Continued from page 55)
Glade put into the part of the cruel,
madcap Gypsy girl and the new shad-
ings of interpretation that she carried
through triumphantly despite her first
appearance in the role with an opera
company of the high standards of the
Chicago Civic group. Still others noted
that her performance added fire to the
remainder of the cast, and became a
large influence in one of the most
excellent performances of the favorite
work of the season.
Miss Glade's v.oice, in her first Radio
appearance, proved to be admirably
adapted to broadcasting. It is a general
rule in Radio studios, that contraltos or
mezzo-sopranos and baritones broadcast
more effectively than sopranos or tenors,
but there is an additional quality in Miss
Glade's voice that carries warmth and
emotion through the microphone in an
unusually intimate manner, as was
shown by studio tests and the letters of
approval and congratulation.
Although this was her first season
with the Chicago Civic Opera company,
Miss Glade has made a special study of
Carmen during former engagements
with the San Carlo Opera company, and
this, with the roles of Amneris in "Aida"
and Siebel in "Faust" were among those
which led to her engagement by a major
organization. She demonstrated her
preparation and her own ideas as to the
role in her first appearance, partly in her
deft execution of the incidental Spanish
dances and partly in the innovations she
introduced into the expression of the
extremes of Carmen's temperament.
One of Miss Glade's departures from
the stereotyped Carmen was the absence
of a Spanish comb in her hair during the
first act.
"Carmen was in her working clothes
at that time," she explained, "whereas in
later acts she was dressed up to charm
the grand suitors she acquired. I do not
believe in wearing something supposed
to be typically one thing or another just
to carry an impression of a character or
a nationality. That is cartooning. Most
people believe that Spanish girls wear
high combs on all occasions just as they
believe, from cartoons of vaudeville
characters that all Germans have fat
stomachs and smoke long pipes; that all
Englishmen have drooping moustaches
and monocles and that all Frenchmen
have pointed moustaches and goatees
and wear funny, high silk hats. The
real portrayal of a character, I hope, lies
in correctness of costume as well as in
correct singing and acting."
Miss Glade admires the part of Car-
men and the entire opera immensely.
"It is so human and so simple," she
declared. "It is a portrayal of just the
sort of emotions that one observes in
daily dramas in every city and in every
walk of life and therefore touches every
member of an audience in every country.
Carmen is truly a universal opera.
"As for the part itself, I love roles of
wicked women and I am glad I am a
contralto because contraltos always have
the wicked parts and they are much
more interesting than those of innocent
girls. They are more intriguing and
require more study and consequently
enlist deeper attention from the audi-
ences. Carmen is the most unmoral
woman character in opera. I cannot
think of any more wicked woman in
opera than Carmen unless it be Delilah
in Samson and Delilah, whose machina-
tions were cruel merely for cruelty's
sake."

things early in a career, and continuing
along the same line as knowledge
broadens," the executive has declared.
MR. AYLESWORTH has been lik-
ened to the "spirit of Radio,"
partly because of his extreme youth for
such a big position, but still more for
his quickness of decision and keen
insight into the depths of any problem
that may be presented.
He once commented on the fact that
he, who started in the old business, law,
is now in the newest business, Radio.
And all without any conscious effort on
his part. It all came about through
his devotion to the job at hand, he will
tell you — if he can be persuaded to talk
about himself at all.
Usually he prefers to talk of other
things — most any other thing — in a crisp
and interesting manner. He has the
knack of holding his hearers, and those
with whom he comes in contact affirm
that his persuasive voice is potent in
winning people to his side.
His popularity is boundless among
the personnel of the National Broad-
casting company, and there is not a
member of the entire organization who
hesitates to enter his office when he has
a suggestion to offer or a request to
make. And Mr. Aylesworth's ear is
usually available for any such hearing.
Although .among the busiest of the big
executives, he manages to retain a per-
sonal contact with members of the com-
pany and with practically all his asso-
ciates, both personal life and the busi-
ness world.
"Deac" Aylesworth is known as a
"good mixer." His unfailing good
humor and willingness to enter into the
spirit of any group makes him a pop-
ular favorite at any social function he
may attend. He is regarded as a home
lover and spends much time about the
family fireside with his wife and two
children, Barton, 18, and Dorothy, 10,
These children are his particular
pride and joy, and he devotes a great
deal of attention to them. Both inherit
from their father pleasing singing voices
and the ability to play the piano rather
well. The children are the normal,
healthy youngsters of 1929, and Mr.
Aylesworth doesn't care "if they both
grow up to be Radio announcers."

i i TTANDSOME is as

would aptly apply to Miss
Ada Day, beauty adviser
over WBBM. Miss Day
recently invited a temper-
amental vaudeville star to
give a little beauty talk to
the listeners. The actress
literally took complete
command of the studio.
She ordered everybody out
and directed that the gal-
lery curtains be drawn so
visitors could, not see her.
She gave curt commands
to the studio director,
ordered Miss Day to pick
up the papers thrown on
the floor and if there had
been a studio cat she
doubtless would have en-
joyed a good kick at it.
Miss Day smiled through
it all — and when it was
all over enjoyed a real
laugh.

Jazz vs. Old-Time Melodies
(Continued from page 37)
to accept the opinion of those who
regard the foremost proponents of jazz
as merely tone mechanicians. Jazz, they
contend, is not legitimate musical ex-
pression, but rather foolish clowning
and an attempt to burlesque the serious
and fixed forms of music.
Herbert Hoover, when secretary of
commerce several years ago, stated that
the Radio business could not subsist if
restricted to a jazz diet, and a recent
attempt to analyze the hold that jazz has
in the hearts and minds of the people
revealed the fact that it occupies second
position.
Classical music and the so-called bet-
ter forms of musical expression have
first choice among Radio audiences,
while the old-time airs follow in third
place. An effort to determine at one
time the songs that held first place in the
affections of thirty prominent men dis-
closed the fact that the following num-
bers, not one of which can be considered
as having been tainted with jazz, were
in high favor: The End of a Perfect
Day, The Glow Worm, Dixie, Traume-
rei, Handel's Largo, My Wild Irish
Rose, Sidewalks of New York, On the
Road to Mandalay, Mother Machree,
Carry Me Back to Old Virginia, Swa-
nee River, La Paloma, and selections
from the operas Aida, Tales of Hoff-
mann and Lucia de Lammermoor.
All of which presents the question:
"What do people like, and what sort of
melodies are popular?"
Here most popular song writers shake
their heads, and admit the futility in an-
swering the question.
TRVING BERLIN, who years ago
A wrote a song, Dorando, the theme of
which was based on the athletic prowess
of a marathon racer, followed it with a
succession of hits, and today he is
regarded as the most successful writer
of popular songs in the United States.
Stories of Berlin's early days as a
songster in the Bowery of New York
when he sang for amusement have been
related time and again. He taught him-
self to play on the piano, and now even
as in those old days he is a painstaking
craftsman when a new song is in the
offing.
That Berlin strives for originality in
writing his songs is apparent; his tunes
are shaped for the great, common aver-
age in human life, and they are written
in such a manner that most any person
with a voice can sing them. In most of
Irving Berlin's songs one can always
depend on heart interest, and a theme
that appeals to the masses.
Around in 1911 or 1912, Irving Berlin
wrote Alexander's Ragtime Band, and
the song swept the country, percolating
down through the dance halls, to th
mechanical pianos and hand organs
Orchestras played and replayed it; it
was in the air, and everybody sang and
hummed the tune.
Other songs of Berlin had a tremen-
dous sale, one being Everybody's Doing
It, another, When That Midnight Choo
Choo Leaves for Alabam', and In My
Harem. During the war Berlin wrote
Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morn-
ing, a comic song; Yip! Yip! Yap hank!
and I've Got My Captain Working for
Me Now.
These songs, in many respects, com
pare favorably with others written at the
time of the World War. That Berlin
caught the military spirit of the day is
apparent, and the fact that he was an
officer at Camp Upton, and first of all a
rookie in the ranks, gave him the color
and background necessary to write
these numbers.
What'll I Do, All by Myself, Say It
With Music and Sunny Days have been
composed by Berlin since those early
days when he turned out his first num
bers, and musical comedies and ligh
operas have featured his songs. '
Music and lyrics are a means of ex-
pression for Berlin; he doesn't split
hairs over the fine points of either when
he writes a song, assuming that he is
writing for all people. The ice man,
newsboy, henpecked husband, colored
strutter, oriental dancer, jazz boy and the
men and women who make up the great
human herd are not only the audience
and clients of Berlin in featuring his
songs, but they are the subjects that he
injects into his songs.
Having come to this country from
Russia when a youngster and started
life as a newsboy, later graduating into
the ranks of the singing waiters, Berlin
has seen something of life. The com-
monplace has played an important part
in his existence, and this fact accounts
for the simplicity of his song themes,
and the tremendous following he has in
the song writing world.
What Berlin may lack in knowledge
of musical technic and song construc-
tion, which together with his handicap
of knowing very little about harmony,
is more than offset by his understanding
of the human family and his ability to
analyze its likes and dislikes in the mat-
ter of heart stirring melodies.
GUS EDWARDS who made a small
fortune from his song, School Days,
once told the writer that the simple and
commonplace themes were the best for
songs, because they were understandable
and appealed to the greatest number of
people. (Continued on page 114)

..Yet4Weeks Later
He SweptThem Off TheirEeet!
TN a daze he slumped to his seat. Failure
"*■... when a good impression before
these men meant so much. Over the coffee
next morning, his wife noticed
his gloomy, preoccupied air.
. " What's the trouble dear?"
"Oh . . . nothing. I just
fumbled my big chance last
night, that's all!"
"Johnl You don't mean
that your big idea didn't go
over!"
"I don't think so. But,
Great Scott, I didn't know
they were going to let me do
the explaining. I outlined it
to Bell — he's the public speaker of our
company! I thought he was going to do
the talking!"
"But, dear, that was so foolish. It was
your idea — why let Bell take all the credit?
They'll never recognize your
ability if you sit back all the
time. You really ought to learn
how to speak in public!"
"Well, I'm too old to go to
school now. And, besides, I
haven't got the time!"
"Say, I've got the answer to
that. Where's that magazine?
. . . Here — read this. Here's an
internationally known institute
that offers a home study course *'
in effective speaking. They
offer a free book entitled How to Work
Wonders With Words, which tells how
any man can develop his natural speaking
ability. Why not send for it?"
He did. And a few minutes' reading of
this amazing book changed the entire course of
John Harkness' business career. It showed him
how a simple and easy method, in 20 minutes a day
would train him to dominate one man or thou-
sands— convince one man or
many — how to talk at business
meetings, lodges, banquets and
social affairs. It ban-
ished all the mystery
yjgPv and magic of effective
J K \ speaking and revealed
0\\ \ the natural Laws of
\ V I Conversation that dis-
\ I tinguish the powerful
t\ speaker from the man
\ who never knows what
Ito say.
Four weeks sped by
quickly. His associates
were mystified by the change in his attitude. He
began for the first time to voice his opinions at busi-
ness conferences. Fortunately, the opportunity to
resubmit his plan occurred a few weeks later. But
this time he was ready. " Go ahead with the plan,"
said the president, when Harkness had finished his
talk. "I get your idea much more
clearly now. And I'm creating a
new place for you — there's room at
the top in our organization for men
ft who know how to talk!"
// And his newly developed talent
// has created other advantages for
// him. He is a sought-after speaker

For fifteen years the North American Institute
has been proving to men that ability to express one's
self is the result of training, rather than a natural
gift of a chosen few. Any man with a grammar
school education can absorb and apply quickly the
natural Laws of Conversation. With these laws
in mind, the faults of timidity, self-consciousness,
stage-fright and lack of poise disappear; repressed
ideas and thoughts come forth in words of fire.

All Flags Fly at WGH
(Continued from page 63)
master the studio piano, Malvern Lee
Powell is heard over the microphone of
WGH on every' program. Wide and
varied experience in musical circles pro-
vides much help in the announcement
of musical programs in a manner to
elicit the desired display of esprit de
corps between announcer and per-
former. Mr. Powell is a member of the
Rhythm Raggers orchestra, and presides
at the studio piano whenever it is nec-
essary to provide the material for that
unanticipated break.
Miss Jacqueline Marston, while a
member of the staff as studio pianist,
carries also additional burdens. She is
widely known for her accomplished
manner of execution not only as a pian-
ist but as the organist of the large
Estes organ which weekly furnishes
inspiring music to the congregation of
the Phoebus (Va.) Methodist Episcopal
church.
Of course the world knows that New-
port News is the summer capital of the
Eastern social whirl, and during the
season it is not uncommon for the WGH
studio to receive visitors whose names
are listed among the elite of the nation.
The listener at these times may some-
times wonder as to the true identity
of some mysterious entertainer whose
voice or_ instrument comes over the air
after an introduction somewhat vague or
the mention of a name that obviously is
a pseudonym.
WGH through its broadcasts lives up
to an atmosphere of modest distinction.
There is no blast and blare but a dig-
nity and assurance that dominates and
makes one feel he is in good company
while listening to WGH programs.
Perhaps the closest touch to the gay
and giddy comes with the Rhythm Rag-
gers orchestra, mentioned above.
For those unacquainted with WGH
there are plenty of ardent fans who will
vouch that it is a good station to place
on your log once you've got it pegged
on the dial.
Jazz vs. Old-Time Melodies
(Continued from page 112)
And, Arnold Johnson, pianist extraor-
dinary and a jazz band director of the
first rank has contended for many years
that good songs are the product of in-
spiration as well as a generous amount
of perspiration.
Johnson wrote Sweetheart, All for
You, Oh, and The Lovelight in Your
Eyes and has been a Pacific coast Radio
feature during recent months.
Arnold Johnson, while young in years,
is one of the oldest and best known di-
rectors of syncopated bands. He and his
jazz unit usually are en route with a
musical comedy, and if ever a complete
and comprehensive history of jazz music
is written, Johnson will be recognized
as the man who fired Paul Whiteman
from his band because the latter could
not fake, and the result was the begin-
ning of original arr yigements on the part
of Whiteman and ,Grofe with the sub-
sequent presentation of popular numbers
according to his (Whiteman's) own
ideas.
Gus Kahn and Egbert Van Alstyne
both regard the lyrics as the real bus-
iness at hand in writing a song. Kahn,
of course, is a lyric writer, first, last and
always, and even when a boy in Chicago
while employed at Picks juggling crock-
ery and silverware, he was drafting
lyrics and humming melodies to fit the
lyrics.
Van Alstyne, on the other hand, is a
melody writer; for years he teamed up
with Harry Williams, and in a little
more than a decade this pair turned out
some of the best known song successes
of Tin Pan Alley.
Van Alstyne's first and greatest song
success was In the Shade of the Old
Apple Tree, and although this number
has sold to the number of two million
copies it is still selling, and perhaps has
only one real rival, that being the old
standby, After the Ball, written years
ago by Charles K. Harris.
Van Alstyne and Williams wrote
Cheyenne, San Antonio, Navajo, I'm
Afraid to Go Home in the Dark, Won't
You Come Over to My House, Who are
You With Tonight, and It Looks Like
a Big Night Tonight in addition to a
string of others.
"17" AN ALSTYNE collaborated with
V Kahn in writing Memories, and he
had a hand in writing When I Was a
Dreamer, Pretty Baby, Your Eyes Have
Told Me So, with both Kahn and Walter
Blaufuss sharing the honors of their
production.
When not playing golf and hurrying
to football games, Kahn is drafting a set
of lyrics. Within the last six months
he wrote the lyrics for Eddie Cantor's
Whoopee and the musical comedy, No-
body's _ Girl, and who lives today with
music in his soul — at least that of a pop-
ular vein — who is not familiar with Yes,
Sir, That's My Baby, Your Eyes Have
Told Me So, My Buddy, Charlie's My
Boy, Carolina In the Morning, My Isle
of Golden Dreams, Chloe and Beloved,
all of which have lyrics from the pen of
Gus Kahn.
To speak of jazz and compare synco-
pated music with the rhythms of yester-
day, one should refer to Creole Belles,
the ragtime hit of 1901, and the com-
poser of this number, J. Bodewalt
Lampe, who was active at WMBB,
Trianon, Chicago, for several years.
The financial return on this number to
Jerome H. Remick, may never be known,
but Lampe once told the writer he re-
ceived about $1,000 for Creole Belles.
Such a figure would probably be re-
garded as a pittance when compared
with the return that came to this number
after the copyright had been transferred
to the Detroit publisher.
Creole Belles was the greatest of cake
walk tunes, and although it was not '
exploited until some little time after it
was written, it seemed to strike a re-
sponsive chord, and in a short time cake
walk writers were as plentiful as com-
posers of blues are today.
Harry Von Tilzer, a contemporary of
Lampe, has always been an advocate of
songs that were clean from every angle. '
Von Tilzer has to his credit a number
of songs; he has been a prolific writer, \
and has been in the business for more
than a quarter of a century.
Turning back over old-time popular
song programs such familiar titles are
recorded as I'd Leave My Happy Home
for You, When the Harvest Days are i
Over Jesse Dear, Wait Till the Sun
Shines Nellie, Down on the Farm and
many others, and Von Tilzer, has played
a hand — and a good one at that — in the
production of these and similar numbers. ,
IT IS the human interest in these son.es j
that have put them over, and most of I
them have been recorded and revamped ,
for present day needs during the last !
decade. It takes time for a song to take I
hold, but once it gains favor and pulls
at the heart strings, both the song and S
its sponsors are on the high roads to j
fame and fortune.

name is loquacity, and the Italian gar-
dener both of whom have been added to
the cast since this picture was made.
Brown started out in life to become
an architect, but soon discovered that
lure of the stage and, later, the mike
surpassed any ambitions he had in the
field of skyscraper construction or
cathedral building.
Brown and his Real Folks are NBC
stars, just the same as Gus and Louie,
two characters who figure in a
new comedy village broadcast from
Schradertown, another NBC feature.
The quaint and yet trenchant humor
of the small town, together with bits
of human interest dialogue, are the
stock in trade of Gus and Louie. They
join a brass band, hire out as farm
hands, put in a course of sprouts in the
village garage and perform other odd
jobs that demand big hands, big feet
and plenty of good intentions.
All right, boys, tune up the fiddle with
the pitch pipe; wipe the chaff off your
mouth harp and let's go!
Outside of the burlesque it should be
remembered that some of the most suc-
cessful individual stations in the coun-
try are the so-called farm stations. In
play or in reality there is an enviable
sincerity about the character who abides
in the country, according to this ac-
cepted type. The farmer lives close to
Mother Nature. All the subtleties and
false fronts with which the city man
comes in hourly contact throughout the
day are spared the man who walks free
and unmolested on his own broad acres.
Matt Thompkins is bringing an old
character into new light. The rural pro-
grams are going over big.
Jazz vs. Old-Time Melodies
(Continued from page 114)
chestra playing a one-night engagement
in Moberly, Mo., picked up a haunting
melody that seemed to grow better with
each successive rendition. It was a soft,
dreamy and plaintive tune; one that lin-
gered in the mind and heart, and tanta-
lized the feet of dance fans.
The Hawkeye . band played and re-
played the number; in time it was pub-
lished, and the Missouri Waltz by
Frederick Knight Logan, had a follow-
ing that has been unsurpassed during
the last score of years.
The new songs turned out hot from
the factories of Tin Pan Alley have their
day, but few of the number ever come
back to popular favor, and those that do
are in a minority. Jazz tunes are snapped
out to the public, but only at intervals
does a number catch the public fancy
and retain its hold.
Radio has brought to the mike many
of the old time tunes; the phono-
graph and mechanical roll have perpet-
uated many of them for posterity, but
Radio with countless musical organiza-
tions at its command has done as much,
if not more, than any other agency to
bring back and popularize the old time
melodies.
Jazz tunes are of a day, possibly a
week and sometimes a month, but the
old tunes are for generations, and they
will continue in high favor in the gen-
erations to come.

WAP I on the Air for Alabama
(Continued from page 45)
ham to become assistant manager and
announcer for the station there.
The Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
though owners (sole) of WAPI, desired
to make the station of service to the en-
tire state, hence its officials offered the fa-
cilities of the station to all the leading
educational institutions in the state to
broadcast meritorious programs of en-
tertainment.
Judging by fan mail received since the
formal opening of WAPI as Alabama's
only super power station, it has already
taken its place among the premier sta-
tions of the country. The operating staff
of the station during the first two
months of broadcasting was increased
to almost double the number employed
at the beginning.
Cupid had to play his part in the
activities of WAPI prior to its opening
Dec. 31st. J. M. Wilder, who was a
graduate of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute and was chosen as resident
engineer for the new station at Birming-
ham, fell a victim to the charms of a
young lady of Auburn, and they were
married Nov. 22. At the time Walter
N. Campbell accepted the position with
WAPI, he was engaged to be married
to a young lady of Nashville. Unwilling
to go alone to Birmingham, Mr. Camp-
bell finally succeeded in persuading his
fiancee to go with him. They were
married Dec. 12 and left the next day
on a short honeymoon, returning to
Birmingham to make their home.
FEW station managers have made a
place for themselves so quickly in the
cultural life of a community as Walter
N. Campbell of WAPI. In addition to
his dignified announcing, his early morn-
ing inspirational talks are filled with a
spirit of happiness and a belief in man-
kind. Mr. Campbell is in demand for
talks at various civic clubs of the city.
Jesse L. Drennen, Jr., is the 13-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse L. Dren-
nen of Birmingham. Recently he made
his debut over Station WAPI. Mr.
Drennen has never studied voice, but is
a product of the Birmingham Public
Schools, where music is a part of the
curriculum. Young Drennen has taken
leading roles in several operettas and at
Lakeview School where he is a pupil,
singing John Alden in the Thanksgiving
play of 1928, On Plymouth Rock, and he
has taken a leading role in The Old
District School, another musical offering
at the school. He has sung in various
Birmingham churches.
Sara Hunt Vann is the organist and
choir director of the First Presbyterian
Church. Mrs. Vann plays the Rushton
Memorial Carrillon at the First Presby-
terian church and is the only woman
carrilloneur in the south and one of the
two in the world.
Mrs Vann is a well known Theatre
Organist, having been in the employ of
the Marcus Loew Company for a period
covering five years. She is hostess at
WAPI.
Walter _ N._ Campbell, manager of
WAPI, Birmingham's new station, was
formerly connected with WLAC of
Nashville.
William Nappi, is the owner and di-
rector of William Nappi and His
Orchestra which broadcasts over WAPI
of Birmingham.
With_ Mr.. Campbell at the helm this
energetic Birmingham station has every
prospect for a broad and virile influence
throughout the Central South. It pierces
through some of the toughest Radio
fields in the metropolitan centers of the
north.

-Raised My Pay
700%
When a man whojhas been
struggling along at low-pay
suddenly steps out and com-
mences to earn real money —
$5,000 to $10,000 a year— he
usually gives his friends
quite a shock. But such
things happen much more
frequently than most people
realize. Not only one, but
HUNDREDS have altered the
whole course of their lives
a.fj£E read,n£ the amazing book illustrated at the
right.
Where Shall We Send Your Copy Free?
As an example of what this book has done, the
career of R. B. Hansen of Akron, Ohio, is just a
typical case. Not long ago he was a foreman in a
factory at a salary of $160 a month. One day this
remarkable volume, "Modern Salesmanship," fell
into his hands. Today Mr. Hansen has reaped the
rewards that this little volume placed within his
reach. His salary runs well into the 5-ngure class —
actually exceeding $10,000 a year!
Another man, Wm. Shore of Neenach, California,
was a cowboy when he sent for "Modern Salesman-
ship. Now he is a salesman making as high as $525
in a single week. O. D. Oliver of Norman, Okla-
homa, read it and jumped from $200 a month to
over $10,000 a year!
There was nothing "different" about any of these
men when they started. Like many others, they
subscribed to the foolish belief that successful sales-
men are bom with some "magic gift." But "Modern
Salesmanship" showed them that nothing could be
farther from the truth! Salesmanship has certain
fundamental rules and laws — laws that you can
master as easily as you learned the alphabet.
City and traveling sales positions are open all
over the country. For years, thousands of leading
firms have called on the N. S. T. A. to supply them
with salesmen. Employment service is free to both
employers and members.

KVOO From Cowboy Land
(Continued from page 44)
Among them are the Eveready Hour,
Seiberling Singers, Stetson Parade,
Ipana Troubadors, Clicquot Club Eski-
mos, RCA Demonstration Hour, Cities
Service Cavaliers and the Atwater Kent
Hour, as well as several others. More
chain programs are broadcast by KVOO
than by any station south of Kansas
City.
There are three announcers. J. Fran-
cis Laux has been with the station about
thirteen months and has rapidly risen
to prominence among Radio voices of
the southwest.
Barney Breen is another stage star
who decided on a Radio career. He is
best known as Uncle Barney of the
KVOO ABC Safety Club. This
organization claims a roll of over seven
thousand youngsters in thirty-two states.
He also announces studio programs and
entertains.
Harry K. Richardson, the third
announcer, has been connected with
Radio stations throughout the southwest
for eight years. Before coming to
KVOO he served as Radio editor of
The Daily Oklahoman at Oklahoma
City. In addition to announcing, he
directs publicity for The Voice of
Oklahoma.
Ann Tieche is program director. Hers
is the job of seeing that KVOO pre-
sents first class entertainment. No
artists are ever permitted to face the
mike without first submitting to ex-
haustive auditions to determine whether
they possess the necessary personality
for a Radio appearance.
The musicians KVOO maintains on
its salaried staff are too numerous to
mention. Two dance orchestras and a
twenty-four piece symphony are used
almost daily, as well as more than
thirty soloists.
The technical division is composed of
five engineers under the direction of
Ted Lowe.
In addition there is a department for
the production of continuity directed by
Jimmie Clark.
All in all, the KVOO staff from man-
ager to telephone operator contains 116
members. Needless to say, it is the
largest broadcast group of any single
station in the southwest and one of the
largest in the United States.
And what's more, it's on a paying
basis, too. A great majority of the
time the station is on the air is devoted
to commercial programs.
Special attention is paid to the agri-
cultural schedule every week day at
6:30 p. m., when there is a thirty minute
broadcast from the KVOO remote con-
trol studio, located on the campus of
Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical
College at Stillwater.
Studio programs are proportioned in
accordance with the Radio audience's
wishes. All fan mail is checked care-
full so that if any certain type of enter-
tainment should gain in popularity, or
vice versa, steps can be taken accord-
ingly. A fixed scale has been prepared
by which the KVOO program schedule
is governed.
Not a day has passed without KVOO
being on the air since its installation
more than four years ago.
Its been growing since the day it
was founded and is still growing. That's
the whole story in a nutshell. And
with the new 5,000 watt transmitter,
The yoice of Oklahoma, will talk out
loud in spots where formerly it Was
only a whisper.
They still may call Oklahoma the
Cowboy State but there is nothing wild
or woolly about KVOO with its highly
artistic programs. . . ',
GROW-YES GROW
Eyelashes
and Eyebrows
like this in
30 days
By Lucille Young
America's most widely known Beauty
Expert for fifteen years. Beauty Ad-
viser to over a million women.
Now Eyelashes and Eyebrows can be made to grow. My
new discovery MUST accomplish this, or its cost will be
refunded in full. Over 10,000 women have made the test.
I have the most marvelous testimonials. Read a few here.
I have attested before a notary public, under oath, that
they are genuine and voluntary.
The most marvelous discovery has
been made — a way to make eye-
lashes and eyebrows actually
grow. Now if you want long, curl-
ing, silken lashes, you can have
them — and beautiful, wonderful
eyebrows.
I know that women will be wild to
put my new discovery to test. I
want them to — at my risk. While
everything else has failed, my
search of years has at last disclosed
the secret.
So now I say to women that no
matter'how scant the eyelashes and
eyebrows, I will increase their
length and thickness in 30 days — or
not accept a single penny. There
are no strings attached to my guar-
antee! No "ifs," "ands," or "may-
bes!" New growth or no pay. And
you are the sole judge.
Proved Beyond the Shadow
of a Doubt
Not just a few, but over ten thou-
sand women have proved that my
wonderful discovery works. I have
from these women some of the most
startling testimonials ever written.
I print a few of them on this page.
And I have sworn to their genuine-
ness before a notary public.
Please note the first testimonial —
an amazing statement that my dis-
covery actually produced hair on
the forehead, for a "dip," as well as
growing eyelashes and eyebrows.
What My Discovery Means
to BEAUTY
To fringe the eyes with long, curl-
ing, natural lashes — to make the
eyebrows intense, strong, silken
lines! Think of it. All the mys-
terious, alluring charm of veiled
eyes, the witchery and beauty only
one woman in a hundred now pos-
sesses in full. But now you, every-
one, can have this beauty — impart
to loveliness this greatest of all
single charms.
Results Noticeable in a Week
In one week — sometimes in a day or
two — you notice the effect. You
merely follow simple directions.
The eyelashes become more beauti-
ful— like a silken fringe. The dar-
ling little upward curl shows itself.
The eyebrows become sleek and
tractable — with a noticeable ap-
pearance of growth and thickness.
You will have the thrill of a lifetime
— know that all you have to do is
carry out use of my discovery the
allotted time.
An Entirely New, Scientific
Principle
For years, I have sought my dis-
covery— tried thousands upon thou-
sands of ways. But they were the
ways others have tried. I, like
others, failed utterly. Then I made
a discovery, found that the roots of
the eyelashes and eyebrows were
marvelously responsive to a certain
rare ingredient — found that this in-
gredient must be applied in an
entirely new way. There is a
secret about my discovery — but no
mystery. It accomplishes its re-
markable results j ust as nature does
for those women who possess beau-
tiful eyelashes and eyebrows. I
know I have now given women the
wish of their hearts — made the
most astounding beauty discovery
yet recorded
You Can Have Proof
at My Sole Risk
Remember ... in 30 days I guar-
antee results that will not only
delight, but amaze. If your eye-
lashes and eyebrows do not actually
grow, if you are not wholly and
entirely satisfied, you will not be
out one penny. The introductory
price of my discovery is Si. 95.
Later the price will be regularly
$5.00.

RADIO
Wonderful opportunity for ambitious
men to win success in this fast'
growing profession
The Radio industry is expanding so rapidly
that trained men are at a premium. There
is a constant, urgent demand for operators
— factory superintendents — engineers —
service men — designers — salesmen.
There is no better -way for you to succeed
in this fascinating business than to study
the Radio Course of the International Corre-
spondence Schools. This course is new and
complete. It was written by practical authori-
ties in this field. It is endorsed by leading
radio experts and radio manufacturers.
Mr. R. E. Thompson, president of the R. E.
Thompson Manufacturing Company (makers of the
^-famous Thompson Neutrodyne Radio Set), says:
"I was once a student of the International
Correspondence Schools myself and I am familiar
■with your methods and texts. I recommend them
to any young man who is sincerely seeking to
improve himself in position and salary."
Quincy J. Workman, of Scranton, Penna., writes
that he has "nearly doubled his salary" since he took
up the I. C. S. Radio Course. He is now manager
• of the Radio Department in a large store.
This same course enabled John M. Paynter, of the
U. S. Lighthouse Service, Charleston, S. C, to get
a position as Radio Operator and Ship's Electrician.
Scores of other men in radio factories, laboratories
and stores report similar progress.
You, too, can get in on the ground floor if you act
quickly. But don't delay too long. Mark and mail

the rich shades of blue, violet, lavender
and orchid.
However, the smart woman of today
goes farther than this in her care of
the eyes. She knows that her brows
are too light or too straggly, or that
her lashes fail to give depth to her
eyes. She notices the straggly hairs
growing along her brows and over her
nose. She understands the line of her
brows and knows that these two lines
of hair above her eyes do a great deal
to make her face lovely or otherwise.
In the makeup of the eye, the first
step is to pluck the brows in the proper
shape. This you must do watching
your face carefully. It may be that
you need a prominent line. Whether
this is thick or a slender delicate one
depends upon your ensemble of features.
How long the eyebrow is also depends
upon the general shape. A round face
calls for a long thin line. Only the
petite woman can wear the short brow.
A good darkener is next used on
the brows, black for the black haired
woman and brown for the blonde and
red haired. If your hairs are uneven
and ragged, the darkener will train
them to stay in place, especially if you
use the liquid variety. Always put more
on toward the nose and less toward the
corners of the eyes. Please make a
difference between your daytime and
evening makeup. Under artificial lights
a more theatrical effect is possible.
The lashes may. be curled without
any possibility of pain or danger, so
simple are the lash curlers of today.
And is there anything that makes the
eye more languorous and lovely than
curling the lashes? After they are
curled, it is a simple matter to darken
them. You do not need to worry about
hurting the eyes with these products.
Every manufacturer these days strives
to make his beauty article pure and
absolutely harmless.
Brilliancy may be added to the eyes
with shadow. This is put on the upper
lid, blue eyeshadow for blue eyes and
brown for brown. Many women make
the mistake of dusting light powder on
the upper lid. This takes away from
the eyes and is not pretty. If you are
not using eyeshadow, leave the upper
lid alone.
Mme. Circe will have _ an article in
the Radio Digest every issue. If you
have any beauty problems you would
like to ask her advice about, write to

On a 3,000-mile trip, J. R. Wood reports that his Oldsmobile ran 30 miles per
gallon due to an amazing device now used by over three million car owners!
At this rate, when his car runs 23,000 miles he will get 10,000 free miles of
gasoline. Write the inventor now to test the device on your car at his risk*

Thousands Report
Sensational Records
H. H. Cummings writes that
he has driven his 1922 Ford
50,000 miles and increased his
gas mileage from 14 to 28
miles per gallon of gas.
36 Miles on lVi Gallons
"Yesterday I made a trip of
36 miles and used only 1J4

43 Miles on a Gallon
"We have tried them out.

S. Carroll. Rex Dean, an-
other Chevrolet owner, re-
ports he got 25 miles a gallon.
Took the device off and mile-
age dropped to 19. Put it back
and mileage moved up to 25.
Almost Double
J. R. Wood writes he in-
creased mileage on his Olds-
mobile from 17 miles a gallon
by actual count on 3,000

"I find it better than you

41% in gas and our engine

OVER three million Stranskys have been
installed on practically every make of
automobile, also on trucks, tractors, sta-
tionary engines, marine engines and aeroplane.
Many of them after three to eight years of con-
stant practical tests report in-
creased mileage, more power, and
reduced carbon. Seldom has such
an invention so taken America
by storm. No wonder Williams

REDUCES CARBON
$48 IN 3 HOURS
HOW IT WORKS
J. A. Stransky, former candidate
for Governor of South Dakota,
is the inventor of this device. It
is a simple little piece not much
larger than a dollar coin and a
12-year-old boy can install it. It
is automatic and self regulating.
It operates on a universally-recognized en-
gineering principle that has been approved,
after exhaustive tests, by experienced auto
drivers, automobile dealers, and expert me-
chanics.
Official tests have proved that most cars waste
30% of the gasoline power through improper
combustion, and we have thousands of unso-
licited testimonials like the following: Ford,
20 to 40 miles on a gallon, Star, 25 to 42, Chev-

My gas bill has been cut
in half. I have removed
every particle of carbon
from my engine. Since I
installed it, my engine runs
as good as new, starts
easier and quicker. I went
out Saturday about three
hours and secured 16 orders.
—J. A. Williams.
Not the least remarkable news from car
owners is that this amazing device has
reduced carbon. Naturally when gas is
more thoroughly vaporized raw, wet
gasoline cannot enter the cylinders to
burn and pit — a constant menace to every
motorist. Furthermore, this device per-
mits an easy way to remove carbon
already formed; the same cleansing
principle as used on the famous Diesel
engine.

No Pep in Paris Radio
(Continued from page 29)
the listener-in. The government si
tions, called P.T.T. (Postes, Telegrapl
Telephones), have low power broadcasl
ing apparatus. These can only %
heard in the city in which they ar
operated. The possessors of large set
fare a little better, but the others an
the listeners-in with crystal sets are
absolutely helpless. The service cover-
ing sport news is particularly bad, and
this is a country where there is a
number of people intensely following
up all athletic and boxing events. Be-
cause of the government's monopoly
of telephones and telegraphs, all news
of sporting events can only be sent via
government broadcasting stations. De-
tailed news of sports or fights are never
given, as the government as broadcaster »
never sends a reporter to the event, rely-
ing on newspaper reports, thus simply
giving points and names of winners.
The lack of money has far reaching
effects in curtailing the length of the
programs.
The most powerful broadcasting sta-
tion in Paris is called the Radio-Paris.
It is only on the air about seven hours
a day. Its programs end at 10:30 in
the evening. The main reason given
for this early finishing is that the most
of the listeners-in are in the provinces,
where people go to bed by 11 o'clock.
The Eiffel Tower functions only three
and a half hours a day and the gov-
ernment station (P.T.T.) about eight
hours a day.
FOR THE whole of France there are
only fifteen broadcasting stations,
eight of which can only be heard per-
fectly in their own cities and environs.
There are six stations in Paris. One
only of these, the Radio-Paris, is power-
ful enough to be heard with small sets
in the provinces.
Another marked difference in the
temperaments of the French and Amer-
ican people is particularly noticeable
in the response to the concerts. There
are no what would be called "Radio-
fans" in France. The French listeners-
in do not write letters, wire or telephone
their approval to the stations or express
their admiration of entertainers as is
common in America. Only a scant
dozen letters a month are received by
the biggest station in France. Thus the
broadcasters in France, unlike America,
have no guiding encouragement with
which to aid them in making up future
programs. They cannot definitely cater
to their public as in America.
From what information is to hand,
there seems no doubt that light operas
and classical music are now more in
favor than jazz. The French people
are a leisurely race. They take off two j
hours in the middle of the day for h
when all business is practically*
pended from the hour of 12 until
During these two hours a great many
people listen in and eat their heavy
lunches to the tunes of Wagner, Schu-
mann and others of the masters.
One very unique thing is connection
with the Radio in France _ was begun
recently. The station Radio-Paris has
been broadcasting a very vivid recon-
stitution of some of the eventful days
of the Revolution. The best French
actors of today have been taking the
parts of such famous men of the past
as Danton, Robespierre, Marai, etc.
' This station's programs recently have
contained classical plays from Moliere,
Racine and Corneille.
There are no complaints in France
against the "loud-speaker" pest. In
Paris the chief of police ruled out all
the ' loud-speake'rs oh the streets for
)ff two
lunch,
y" sus-
ntil 2.
publicity or other purposes. Even wire-
less shops are not allowed the loud
advertising- of their waves outside of
their premises. The owners of loud-
speakers confine their activities to the
hours of the day and early evening, as
the French law forbids anyone to play a
musical instrument or to make any dis-
turbing noise after ten o'clock in the
evening in apartment houses.
The most interesting point in con-
nection with the growth of Radio pop-
ularity in France is that the greatest
number of owners are found among the
working people. Following this, the
simplest of sets and cabinets are most
commonly sold. The very elaborate con-
soles made to match period furniture
are seldom seen in the shops, and the
ordinary oblong box made of hardwood
is the prime favorite.
It is a fact to date that the majority of
Radio fans, using the word in its widest
sense, make their own sets. Crystal sets
are made, but for use only in large cities
where powerful stations only can be
heard clearly. The Radio industry is
doing a very successful business. There
are an abundance of small shops selling
Radio accessories. In Paris you will
find sometimes two small shops in one
small street.
THE SETS most frequently used are
the four-lamp sets; the one-lamp
radio frequency; the one-lamp detector;
the two-lamp radio frequency; among
the expensive sets, which are still very
much cheaper than in America, the
superheterodynes and others of the same
type are the most commonly sold.
The annual Radio Salon just closed
its doors at the end of the first week
in November after a very successful
exhibition. The interest of the French
people is undoubted, for every day the
vast area of the Grand Palais, where
the show was held, was filled with inter-
ested visitors. In addition to this exhi-
bition there is held annually a House-
hold Goods Exhibition, which includes
a large Radio department. So it is evi-
dent that Radio has become popular
with a great many householders in
France.
Radio entertainers do not receive any-
thing like the publicity they do in Amer-
ica. In the case of great stars from the
Nationale theaters, their performing for
the Radio is not looked upon with favor
by them. They will not allow their pic-
tures to be published with an announce-
ment that they have been Radio enter-
taining. This is indicative of the differ-
ence between the two races of people.
With few Radio fans sending in letters,
the entertainers naturally do not know
their popularity to the extent that it is
known in America.
There is no doubt that as soon as the
government takes a definite stand
regarding the status of Radio in the
land, there will be a marked change. If
pressure is brought successfully to bear
to make the government abandon its
announced intention of monopolizing the
Radio broadcasting in France, radio-
phony will advance rapidly. The people
now engaged in supplying the entertain-
ments will then extend the time of their
performances and improve the quality.
More money will be invested in the
industry when interested parties know
their investments are safe from loss.
Then the stations will be able to com-
pete in excellence with America and
Germany, where Radio has made great
strides.
A great deal of interest has been man-
ifested in the announcement that Amer-
ican programs may be transmitted by
short-wave to France and rebroadcast
here. Concerts would be especially ap-
preciated. It might lead to a more gen-
eral appreciation of Radio possibilities.

TESTIMONIALS
Gentlemen: We wish to inform
you that the REESONATOR we pur-
chased from you some time ago is
meeting with our highest expecta-
tions. _ We have found it of much
value in aiding reception, increasing
volume, clearness of tone, and ena-
hling us to get stations which we
otherwise could not hear. We have
found it to be well worth the price.
Yours truly, N. N. Fisher,
Janesville, Wis.
Gentlemen: Last month I bought
one of your REESONATORS and I
find it to be just as you said. Now,
I have no trouble in bringing in far
stations, and it cuts through inter-
ference good. It makes a big im-
provement to my set.

SO many letters have come to Radio
Digest expressing admiration for
Jessica Dragonette, so many times it
has happened that her name has come
up in conversations concerning the
Radio programs it seemed as though
Miss Dragonette must have sung her
way very extensively into the hearts of
the Radio audience. So she was asked
to write something about herself for the
Radio Digest readers. Her letter is a
delightful response that seems to be
addressed to each individual reader —
just as her song seems to come directly
to each individual listener. Read it and
you will love this little lady more than
ever.
* * *
WE received a rather peculiar letter
signed simply, "Staff, WINR." One
paragraph reads as follows: "We
received your Winter edition of Radio
Digest but it hardly is of any interest to
either our listeners or our staff. Usually
the friend audience of a Radio station
like to see something of their favorite
announcer or favorite artist, or at least
a little writeup about the station, and not
finding this certainly does not please
most people who buy your magazine
or any other publication to find some-
thing that is interesting to them." We
are sorry that WINR, 100 watts, has
been neglected. We list it in the log,
but it seems we have not given this sta-
tion one of our eighty or so feature
pages. Perhaps we should have done
this. And then, we might ask, what per-
centage of our readers throughout the
United States and Canada would be
greatly interested in the staff of WINR?
We do not wish to slight anyone but
we must remember to please the great-
est number of our readers first. How-
ever, we do write about and show pic-
tures from a great many of the smaller
independent stations, as a perusal of each
number of Radio Digest will show.
Wanderlusters Find
Romance
(Continued from page 62)
Klemm, program supervisor, and S.
Broughton Tall, in charge of the Liter-
ary and Musical Research Department,
arranged the first of these ether strolls
and from the very beginning the spirit
of joyousness and freedom that charac-
terized these journeys caught and held
the fancy of the Radio public so that
today the WBAL Wanderlusters num-
ber thousands of Radio fans in almost
every state in the Union as well as in
many parts of Canada, where WBAL is
one of the "regulars" dialed.
Each week there is a different "steer-
ing committee," meaning the soloists
who assist in piloting the wanderlusters
through the ether spaces. However, the
following members of the staff are those
upon whom the Radio wanderers have
come to depend for the musical enter-
tainment provided along the way: Ro-
berta Glanville and Henriette Kern,
sopranos; Maud Albert, contralto; John
Wilbourn and Edward Jendrek, tenor;
Walter N. Linthicum, baritone; Sol Sax,
pianist; Samuel Maurice Stern, 'cellist,
and Michael Weiner, violinist. The offi-
cial "guide" of these adventures, how-
ever, is Gustav Klemm, program super-
visor, under whose able direction these
feature programs are presented.

How I Laughed Myself
Into Success in Radio"
by Howard Clarke
"I'm sitting on top of the
world! My bank account
is growing fatter every day
. . . my home is all paid
for . . . I've just ordered a
new car . . . and my wife
and I can at last enjoy life
in real style. It sure feels
great to be earning big
money. And to think how
it all came about!"
IT happened on a rainy Mon-
day night. I was reading a
magazine while Mary was clear-
ing away the supper dishes. Sud-
denly a funny cartoon caught my
eye . . . and I laughed out loud.
"Jim, you make me sick!" she
cried. "How can you laugh while
I'm nearly dying of weariness!"
"But Mary dear—"
"Don't dear me, you idiot!"
I was alarmed. "Great heavens, what
wrong?"
"Wrong? " she screamed,"here I drudge
all day, do my own housework, wash
all the clothes, take care of the baby,
and worry about your meals. I never
get a moment of freedom . . . and
haven't a decent thing to wear even to
church . . .yet you never seem to care!"
I was ashamed!
A feeling of shame swept over me. So
that was why she seemed so "moody"
the last few days! Like a good sport
she had suffered in silence until she
couldn't keep it in any longer. Poor kid!
For hours after Mary had gone to bed
that night I kept staring into space.
What a mess I had made of our lives
. . . What a slave I had made of her.
Listlessly I kept thumbing the pages of
the magazine . . . thinking . . . think-
ing. Was there no way out of it?
Then suddenly ... as if by some kind
act of Providence .... I stopped be-
fore a story. It told of a fellow who
had made quite a fortune in an un-
crowded profession. Fascinated, I read
on. It told of the brilliant opportu-
nities in the radio industry ... of the
big incomes fellows like myself were
earning . . . and of the ease with which
expert radio training could be acquired.
But what impressed me most was the
fact that success was practically assured
by means of a new home-study lab-
oratory method sponsored by one of
America's great corporations.
With a gigantic enterprise like this
behind a school I needed no greater
guarantee .... so without a second's
further hesitation I tore the coupon
and mailed it.
A lucky event that changed
my life
It sure was my lucky day, when the
first lessons came in. I never dreamed
that learning radio was so easy. I didn't
know the first thing about it when I
started. Yet before many months were
over I was able to solve many of the
problems which command big pay.
Each subject was explained in simple
word and picture form. It carried me
along like a novel.' From magnetism and
electricity the lessons took me step by
step through trouble-finding and repair-
ing—through ship and shore andbroad-
casting apparatus operation and con-
struction — through pho torad iograms,
television and beam transmission.
I didn't have to give up my regular job.
I stayed right at home and learned
during my spare time. I actually
learned by doing?1 With the les-
sons I received a complete, expen-
sive storehouse of apparatus with
which I was able to build radio
circuits and sets of almost every
description. Yet it cost me ab-
solutely nothing extra.
As a result of this practical, tech-
nical working out of big radio
problems with a fine home-
laboratory, I was able to earn
good money even before I had
completed my course! And it
wasn't long before I was able to
quit my regular work entirely . . .
and branch out for myself in
big paying radio jobs.
Today, I have more work than
I can take care of. And I often
make more money in a day than
I used to earn in a week.

They Gould Hardly Believe
Their Own Ears ~
when I Switched to Ground Wave Reception
I
T'S no use trying to listen
in tonight," said Bill as I
took his hat. "Jane and I
tried to get reception during din-
ner, but all we got was static. It's
usually this way — just the night
they broadcast Paul Whiteman's
band or some other good program
it's spoiled by howls and fading.
Why own a Radio at all?" he
ended up disgustedly.
"Perhaps my set will do a little
better," I suggested. I had a sur-
prise in store for him!
He looked doubtful as I turned
on the set switch. I
had left my old aerial
antenna attached on
purpose and soon the
room was filled with
an ear - splitting ex-
cuse for music. Ma-
nipulation of the dials
only served to make
it worse, or to choke
down reception until
it was hardly audible.
Occasionally it faded
out altogether and I
could picture the roof
aerial swaying help-
lessly in the strong
wind. Then the jum-
ble and howls would
start up again until
my wife finally
shouted above the
din, "Turn that thing
off — it's terrible!"
Satisfied, I laughed,
and disconnecting the
old aerial and ground
wires I then attached
the lead-in wires of
my new under -ground
antenna, which I had
installed just before
dinner. "Now, listen I"
I commanded.
SUBWAVE-AERIAL Gets DX
Installed SO Feet From
60,000-Volt Power Line
Underground Aerial Products.
Suite 618. St. Clair Bids.,
St. Clair and Erie Sts., Chicago, 111.
Gentlemen : Regarding a test with
your underground aerial, "Subwave-
Aerial." On January 27. 1929. Mr.
Frank Smith and I drove out near
the Sanitary District power plant
in a Ford sedan. We stopped about
SO feet distant from the plant's
60,000-volt transmission line and
dug a small hole, into which we
dropped the Subwave-Aerial. We
left the two sets we brought with
us in the sedan, attaching the lead-
in wires of the Subwave-Aerial first
to one, then the other. One set
was a 5-tube Freshman— the other
a single-dial Atwater Kent. Model
35. We used the Ford battery.
At 15 minutes to six we got
WCCO. St. Paul, Minn. It came in
loud and clear at 27 on the dial.
There was not the slightest inter-
ference from the 60,000-volt power
transmision line only 50 feet away.
At 20 minutes after six we got
Toronto, first on one set and then
the other. We plainly heard the
^program, which was being sponsored
by a Spartan Radio dealer.
.It was impossible to get recep-
tion at all with an overhead aerial
under the same conditions.
Yours truly.
F. BENNETT SMITH
HARRY R. JACKSON
The Thrilling' Test
As though by magic, the sweet high
notes of violins, the stirring sobbing of
saxophones, the clear pure notes of a clari-
net brought Bill to his feet! Jane looked
dumfounded. Even my wife, who had
not paid much attention to my prelim-
inary tests, was amazed. "What did you
do to it?" she demanded. "I think he
bewitched it," Jane accused. The music
went on, clear and strong, with only a
long moan or slight jumble now and then
to remind us of the storm raging outside.
The static v/as so greatly reduced that we
hardly noticed it. The important thing
was — we were getting one of the year's
best programs with scarcely any trouble
on a wild, stormy night.
"You see," I explained later to Bill, "I
buried my new under-
ground aerial about
two feet below _ the
ground, where wind
and storms can't
affect it so easily. It
has certainly been
proved tonight that
Radio waves are just
as strong in the ground
as they are in the air.
They call this thing
'Subwave -Aerial,
and it's insulated
some way to keep out
interference and noise,
just like these expen-
sive modern receivers
are. It's combined
with a scientific
ground, so I'm sure
now that I have the
correct ground con-
nection. And all this
isn't costing me any
more than my old
aerial antenna that
I've nearly broken my
neck repairing after
wind storms like this.
And 1 a s t, _ but not
least," I finished tri-
umphantly, "I'll never
need to touch it again.
It's guaranteed for 25
years."
Hardly necessary to say that Bill went
home with the name and address of the
Subwave-Aerial manufacturers in his
pocket.
Test It Yourself — Free !
The above story illustrates the results
for which the designers of Subwave-Aerial
struggled for months. At last, enthusias-
tic reports such as this from Radio ex-
perts reproduced here proved that they
had succeeded. Now you have a chance to
prove the merits of this great new Radio
development for yourself. Try, if possible,
to pick a night when static is bad and
make the thrilling test. It's fun! And if
you are not more than pleased with Sub-
wave-Aerial, the test won't cost you a
cent. We feel safe in saying, however,
that once you've heard the amazing differ-
ence in reception and realize the wonder-
ful convenience of this modern combined
antenna and ground, you'll wonder how
you ever put up with the old-fashioned,
dangerous, inefficient methods. Be sure

with male and female stars. The
wonderful skins which the camera
depicts are no accident. They are
natural skins brought to the fullness
of their beauty by Boncilla.
IRENE RICH
Making ready for her part with
Boncilla Clasmic Pack
You Can Charm-Tbnight
Tonight, perhaps, you appear on
your stage, and you wish to look
your best. A party, a theatre or
a home evening which you wish
to glorify.
Thirty minutes with Boncilla
will bring you rich rewards. The
new beauty will amaze you, and
delight your friends. They will
see a different woman.
Apply Boncilla to the face and
neck. Rest while it dries. You
will feel it draw from the skin
all that clogs or mars it. It re-
moves the causes of blackheads
and blemishes. No dead skin, no
hardened oil, no dirt or grime
escapes it.
You will feel a warmth, for
the blood comes to the surface to
nourish and revive the skin. Then
these results appear :
A radiant glow,
An animated look,
A clean, clear skin,
A soft, smooth skin.
Older women see other results.
Often, in those 30 minutes, they
seem to drop ten years.
Lines are eradicated,
Wrinkles are combated,
Enlarged pores reduced,
Sagging muscles are firmed.
The only way is Boncilla clas-
mic pack. There is nothing else
like it. Nobody knows another
way to bring comparable results
so quickly. This is so certain that
leading beauty experts the world
over count Boncilla their chief
beauty aid. In London, Paris,
Berlin and Vienna they import
it for the purpose.
Try Boncilla in justice to your-
self. You will never omit it when
you see the change it brings. All
toilet counters supply it at 50c
and $1. Or the coupon will bring
you a week's supply with the
three aids which go with it. Clip
it now.
How Irene Rich Qets
That Radiant Qlow
Before entering the studio, Irene
Rich applies Boncilla clasmic pack.
This draws out from the skin all im-
purities. All the dirt and grime, dead
skin and hardened oil. All the re-
mains of old make-up. It also brings
the blood to the skin.
When she washes off the dried
Boncilla, all the skin refuse comes
with it. The skin is clean to the
depths. A rosy glow appears. Then
she applies Boncilla Cold Cream,
and removes it. Then Boncilla Van-
ishing Cream as a powder base.
Then the exquisite Boncilla Powder
of the proper shade.

pared by Lowe Brothers. It is

emblazoned with the name of the winning station,
an enviable station adornment.
A Silver Cup of the same design will be presented
to each of the runnerups in the various sections of
the country in recognition of being voted the Far
West's Most Popular Broadcasting Station ; the
West's Most Popular Station; the Middle West's
Most Popular Station ; the East's Most Popular Sta-
tion ; the South's Most Popular Station, and finally
Canada's Most Popular Station. The broadcasting
station receiving the highest number of votes in each
district, after the Gold Cup grand prize winner, will
each be given a Silver Cup and the title of most pop-
ular station for its section of the country.
The RADIO DIGEST in fathering this great un-
dertaking to select the World's Most Popular

CASH AWARDS WILL
BE GIVEN BY RADIO
DIGEST FOR IDEAS
Do you have ideas?
Can you write a letter?
Would you be willing to write a
letter giving your idea of what
should be included in a fifteen min-
ute period of broadcasting?
A fifteen minute period in studio
parlance is called a Short Go.
Program managers are looking
everywhere for bright ideas to be
used in Short Go Programs.
You do not have to be an expert
to have ideas. You do not have to
be a clever writer to write a letter.
But if you can put down your ideas
in your own way in an ordinary
letter of 100 words that you might
write a relative or a friend you may
win a prize.
Radio Digest will submit all the
letters received to a committee of
program experts actively identified
with various prominent broadcast
studios. Prizes aggregating $50 will
be awarded to the letter writers
who present the best ideas for a
Fifteen Minute or Short Go Pro-
gram.
THE PRIZES
The listener who submits the
best idea for a Fifteen Minute
Program will receive a cash
award of $25.00.
The listener who submits the
second best idea for a Fifteen
Minute Program will receive a
cash award of $15.00.
The listener who submits the
third best idea for a Fifteen Min-
ute Program will receive a cash
award of $10.00.
In case of a tie for merit for any
one or all of the three awards dupli-
cate prizes will be presented. The
contest will end December 1, 1929,
and prizes awarded in plenty of
time for Christmas shopping.
You have a good chance to win a
prize. The first move to win will
be for you to actually decide to
write the letter. The next thing is
to get your ideas together. As a
suggestion why not tune in and
listen to a variety of programs com-
ing over the air.

A Completely New
Encyclopedia Britannica
NEW in plan and purpose — entirely recast
from cover to cover — the new Fourteenth
Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica
is ready. This is the superb "humanized" Britan-
nica which has captured the attention of the
whole civilized world.
Three years of intensive effort — the co-opera-
tion of 3,500 of the world's foremost authorities
— the expenditure of more than $2,000,000
before a single volume was printed — these are
merely a few high lights in the preparation of
the new Fourteenth Edition.
The Last Word in
Encyclopaedia Perfection
This new Britannica immediately takes its place
as the one pre-eminent American
work of reference — the last word
in encyclopaedia perfection.
Never has there been assembled
together in one enterprise such a
wealth of learning as is represented
by the 3,500 builders of this great
temple of knowledge. All the univer-
sities, all the learned professions, all
the great industries, all the pastimes
have contributed to the mighty sum.
Knowledge for All
It is a law library for the lawyer, a
medical digest for the doctor, a uni-
versal history for the historian, a com-
mercial university for the business
man— and a compendium of all the arts
and sciences for the average reader.

RADIO must have been invented
to give Norman Brokenshire his
chance in the world. When you read
Mr. Irwin's fascinating story in this
issue, telling of the many starts, stops
and turns that led up to the discovery
of the niche to which he naturally
belonged, you will understand why
Brokenshire believes Radio was in-
tended for him. It's an adventure
story — a tale of restless youth on the
eternal quest for the thing fate in-
tended him to do. You'll get a
chuckle out of Norman as an infant
when you see his baby picture in the
back of the magazine.
Paul Whiteman has just about been
biographed to death, but Jean Camp-
bell, who flits about a great deal be-
tween Broadway, Tin Pan alley and
the sequestered spheres of the Higher
Art, declared she had a slant on Paul
Whiteman from the viewpoints of
various notables which had not yet
come to the attention of the general
public. Go ahead and let's see, she
was challenged. She proved her
point, and you will read in her story
what Paul Whiteman is doing besides
blue rhapsodies and jazz. This story,
as it continues, will particularly in-
terest those who are watching the
trend of our folk lore and national
characteristics in music. And the
pictures Jean sent of Paul in humor-
ous poses give us a corking page of
funnies.
ARTHUR B. REEVE stands
among the very first of Amer-
ican authors as the creator of detec-
tive mystery tales. His story of The
Gigolo Mystery was written especially
for Radio Digest readers. You who
have enjoyed the scientific deductions
of Craig Kennedy in books, maga-
zines, and on the screen, will like this
story of crime and intrigue that cen-
ters over the bays and byways of
Long Island (where Mr. Reeve has a
magnificent summer home) and the
bright lights of New York. In the
next installment in our November
Radio Digest, you will hear more
about the causes of the Green Death.
Doty Hobart, who writes about
mike fright and how it affects the
stars of Broadway, knows what he is
talking about from his long experi-
ence as director in the CBS studios.
Read what he has to say about
various personages you have seen on
the stage, and how they reacted be-
fore the microphone.
* * *
Xavier Cngat, famous Spanish art-
ist, illustrates Mr. Hobart's story with
so7iie of his remarkable caricatures.
HUGH FULLERTON has never
written a better story than The
Balloon Jumpers in this issue of Radio
Digest. It's one of that kind that
gets funnier and funnier as you be-
come better acquainted with charac-
ters, until at the conclusion it's a
grand scream.
Tn the November issue you will
have some other line stories by well-
known authors as well as some excel-
lent station features and special arti-
cles by celebrated writers. And pic-
tures! Pictures! PICTURES!
BEGINNING with this issue Radio Digest will hereafter be published
monthly. Readers may obtain it at any of the magazine newsstands
on the first of the month or by mail a few days preceding its appearance on
the stands. The newsstand price will be thirty-five cents. The mail
subscription price will be four dollars yearly in the United States, posses-
sions and Canada. Foreign postage will be one dollar additional. All
present subscriptions will be filled issue for issue for the number subscribed.
Radio Digest is planned and produced first, last and all the time to satisfy
the wants of the Radio listener. This statement bears no equivocation. In
this new form you will find no technical articles, sketches or pictures of
apparatus. No manufacturer is able to buy space in these editorial columns
with a paid advertisement in the back of the book. But you will find a pro-
fusion of pictures of the Radio artists you have heard on the air. And you
will learn something about others through articles by capable writers. You
also will find all that necessary data pertaining to station locations, person-
nel, special programs and the day and hour when the most interesting
features are to be heard.
IN ADDITION Radio Digest will furnish you each month fiction from the
pens of the best magazine writers in America. Only stories of quality
such as are found in the best magazines will be published. We know this
new policy will be welcomed by our readers.
What do you like best about your new Radio Digest? What are your
objections? We have had some very excellent criticisms — some that we
have already acted upon in the production of this October number. One
station publicity director very elaborately explained to us that most large
broadcasting stations nowadays have "more than one director." One
announcer on a chain station wrote suggesting that we create a department
listing chain features and on what day of the week they could be heard, etc.
Radio Digest welcomes constructive advice from its readers. Majority
opinion rules. But first there must be some general expression to find out
what the majority opinion is. Do you like pictures? What kind of pictures?
Every letter from a reader is considered with the keenest appreciation.
Write what you think.
JUST as these lines are written we are advised of the sudden death of John
B. Daniel. And as you read these lines he will have been in his grave
for at least thirty days. The world sweeps on. The Chicago Civic Opera
begins the season. It was John's habit, you may know, to hop on a train in
New York and go to Chicago once a week just to afford you that golden eclat
so characteristic of his announcing voice, and so necessary in the presenta-
tion of an opera to a listening but unseeing audience. His voice was the
exquisite service of the opera — you remember, it was just a little while ago
when he was with us here. He loved music. He would have enjoyed seeing
and listening with the rest. But his duty was to serve you and we have seen
him crowd himself into a crude little air tight booth in the basement under
the stage and there glowingly tell you all that was happening and what was
to come. He would come out, his face streaming with perspiration, but his
lips smiling. The world spins on and on. For some a man thirty days dead
is but a shadow far gone into the oblivion of infinity. But for you and for
many there will come moments in the evening when you will give the dial a
bit of a twist and down through the mysterious spaces of the Beyond you
will hear again the golden voice of John B. Daniel, and the echo of a song —
"you'll remember, you'll remember me."

TKTORMAN BROKEN SHIRE, shown here in one of his more
1 V formal moments, is revealed by Mr. Irwin, on the opposite
page, as a very human sort of person with the average individual's
ups and downs before he arrived at his present prominence. A line
or tivo of more recent history reminds you that he was chosen to
report by Radio from an airplane the arrival and departure of the
Graf Zeppelin. His narrative was sent to all newspapers by the
United Press. And, -would you believe it, he once was boy soprano
soloist at Trinity church, Boston.

<^€e Has Variety of Experience
[hQpRMAN BROKENSHIRE Tries Everything From
School Janitor to Welfare Worker Until He Finds Himself
and His Future Before the Mike
By Godfrey Irwin
"W
HAT are the chances of becoming a Radio an-
nouncer :
"About one in a thousand."
This query, prompted by curiosity, answered brusquely by a
preoccupied telephone operator and information clerk at
"Broadcast Central," now well nigh forgotten by all save a
few of the industry's pioneers, may be credited for starting one
of Radio's original "Four Horsemen" on his career as an
announcer. His present ranking in that same profession, and
to hosts of listeners Norman Broken-
shire is literally one in a thousand.
This is due entirely to the native
ability and personality of the man,
plus a background as varied and in-
teresting as are the roles "Broke" has
filled before the microphone.
At thirty-one Brokenshire is still
a boy at heart, an incurable romanti-
cist, and, like the majority of boys,
dislikes detail. His Radio pictures of
news events are painted in bold,
sweeping strokes, which, while they
include every essential detail, suggest
the minor points of the event and
pass over entirely the unimportant
distractions for which so many Radio
reporters turn aside, and, in turning,
smear their picture.
Philosophical and even tempered,
his coolness and calm under annoying
circumstances and in emergencies are
lessons in self-control. Telephone
lines may break down, scheduled
hook-ups fail to materialize, power
may be cut off, but no one would ever
know it from this reporter's de-
meanor. Calmly testing his wires
and microphone, doing his best to locace and remedy the fault
of some other individual or of circumstance, he keeps his head,
never raising his voice or complaining, and when the air is
ready for him proceeds with the job in hand, usually with an
added bit of information picked up by a roving eye while
forced to watch the appointed time of broadcasting pass
idly by.
Identified with Station WABC and the Columbia Broadcast-
ing System since early in 1929, this Radio personality's experi-
ence included work as lumberjack, fire warden, inspector in a
shoe factory, truck driver, chauffeur, printer's devil, printer,
draughtsman, soda-jerker, Y. M. C. A. secretary, welfare
worker, lecturer and vaudeville artist, this last as an offshoot
of Radio.
Norman Ernest Brokenshire was born in Murcheson, On-
tario, on June 10, 1898, and was brought up in the small
Canadian towns and villages to which his father, a Scotch
Presbyterian' missionary and school teacher, was assigned.
"My first job," he recalls, "was as janitor of the little school-
bouse (red), at Port Britton, where father was teacher. It was
a three-mile walk from home to school, and my job entailed all
the duties generally falling to a janitor, keeping the one room,
eighteen-pupil capacity schoolhouse clean and warm, and cut-
ting wood for the old pot-bellied base burner stove, which
needed mere wood than any other stove I have ever seen. For
this work I received all of $25 a year, which I thought helped
the family immensely."
But the thoughts of youth are indeed "long, long thoughts,"
and it is not unreasonable to suppose that the boy who had the
spunk to do something to help make his own way had already
begun to think of life in a somewhat broader sense, than his small
and irresponsible companions.
THE future announcer's schooling (which did not include a
course in janitoring) was continued in the United States, his
father hiving taken the pastorate of the Wood Memorial Con-
gregational church at Cambridge, Mass. Following his grad-
uation from Harvard Grammar school, the boy entered Pindge

no Brokenshire was in sight! Sched-

less figure, perspiration streaming

Manual Training school. "My bent was always for things
mechanical," he explains; although who would associate this
artist in moods and expressions with anything as rigid as a
try-square or as cold and matter of fact as a draw shave?
"Father moved to Maine," the young carpenter's story con-
tinues, "and we lived at Hallowell, the smallest city in the
United States. There were 3,000 inhabitants in Hallowell, but
it was administered by a full city government. Here, while
attending high school, my love of the technical and a gradually
growing bent for the artistic joined
forces, and I opened a print shop in
the woodshed behind the parsonage."
Norman's father furnished a small
7 by 11 press and forty fonts of type.
Norman motorized the press and pro-
ceeded to teach himself the mysteries
of printing. Starting in on work for
his friends and for the school cards
and stationery for various business
houses, the boy gradually reached
out for new business, put his earnings
back into the shop, and at the end of
two years found he had put two other
small shops in Hallowell out of busi-
ness. He had a complete job print-
ing plant, and had taught himself so
well he was turning out commercially
acceptable three-color work, with
enough business to keep him con-
stantly on the go.
During his sophomore year in high
school the war broke out. and the
printer's oldest brother, Laurence,
went to Canada and over seas with
the first contingent. The home broke
up soon after that, for Laurence was
one of the first men to be gassed when
the Germans met the British at Ypres. and Mrs. Brokenshire
went to England to be near her son, whose sight was despaired
of for several months. The senior Brokenshire went to France
as an instructor in language and Y. M. C. A. worker, and
Norman was alone.
FOR a while he continued with his school work and the shop,
but at the close of his junior year in high school "decided to
go to work," as he says. The change from printing to wood
cutting proved a bit too much, and after a two-week try out in
a lumber camp, the boy collapsed and had to be carried to his
bunk, later returning to Hallowell to rest up.
Much of the restless energy which still characterizes him was
making itself felt, and young Brokenshire found himself a job
as inspector in a nearby shoe factory, which didn't seem exactly
the job he wanted.
"Inspectors run their fingers inside the finished shoes to
make sure there are no nails sticking up," he explains, "and
as there most decidedly were nails sticking up, two fingers
proved equal to only two weeks, which slight example in
division left me minus a job again, and on my way to Boston.
"Still on the hunt for my life work, in Arlington I found a
job with Wyman Brothers, market gardeners, but the truck 1
was hired to drive proved a little too strong for me, and just
about the time it seemed gardening was to lose a promising
recruit I was promoted to be chauffeur for one of the firm."
On finding his newly employed chauffeur lacked only one
year of a full high school education, Mr. Wyman offered to help
him and the chauffeur took up his residence with the employer,
going to school with his children, studying while he worked.
"A truly Horatio Alger situation." says Norman, "and al-
though Arlington High School set me back a year, their class
standings being unusually high, I managed to complete two
years in one and was very proud of my diploma when I grad-
uated."
Restless as ever, Brokensbire went up to the White Moun-
tains when school closed, and took charge of the garage at-

Professor 'Paul Whiteman
Mother : "Whose orchestra is on the Radio tonight?"
Dad: "Why, that fellow Paul Whiteman, the 'Jazz
King.' "
Daughter: "What a desecration! And I thought my
good parents modern enough to know Paul Whiteman as
the founder of America's new folk music and the maestro
who has taught musical appreciation to the masses."
AND peculiarly once again youth wins, for the sophisti-
cated dancing daughter was right. In all truth, every
time you tune in on Paul Whiteman you unwittingly
take a really worth while music lesson.
Before cries of horror resound may we not give the Jazz
King and his work the benefit of a bit of honest analysis. He
has been accorded this consideration already by some of our
most serious minded educators and singularly complimentary
reports have come forth.
The opinions of an authority such as Sigmund Spaeth, Ph. D.,
the well known music critic and author, are worthy of atten-
tion:
"When Paul Whiteman leads his orchestra through a piece
of so-called 'Jazz music' he is really taking part in a phenom-
enon which has no parallel in history.
"Whatever may be said for and against 'jazz' it is unques-
tionably the true folk-music of America. It is a folk-music.
moreover, which has been developed spontaneously in the midst
of as elaborate and complex a civilization as this world has
ever known."
AS THE founder of this now recognized phenomenon let
us see what Paul Whiteman has done for the future of
American music.
With Dr. Spaeth let us realize at the outset that:
"The United States of America have never had a real folk-
music of their own up to the present time. Such a thing was
impossible by the very nature of things, for we sprang full
fledged into life, without ever passing through that stage of
peasantry which is so necessary for folk art of any kind, and
particularly music.
"We have never had a true peasant class in this country, a
type of society to take pleasure in communal singing and
dancing, or the extemporaneous entertainment which has al-
ways been so popular abroad.
"Our rural population has lived on the whole a life of soli-
tude with a consistent trend toward the quick building of cities,
and peasantry, as such, has been practically unknown. We
were supplied with a complete civilization from the start and
merely had to use available material instead of our own.
By Jean
"Under the circumstances it is not surprising that no folk
usic arose out of the United States of America until modern
times. Nor is it surprising that such music lore should finally
come to us through the personality of a so-called Jazz King.

rightly be called a folk-music of
our own, for all of them have
been borrowed, and have noth-
ing whatever in common with
American civilization.
"The Indian music belongs to
the race that happened to pos-
sess this country before our set-
tlers took it away from them. Its
traditions are absolutely foreign

I shouted through the speaker to make myself heard
above the staccato of the air motor. "Over toward
Old Field Light!"
"Looks like a coast guard boat," he shouted back, seizing
the scouting glasses, "trying to save a fifty-foot cruiser from
sinking!"
Kennedy and I were flying down the North Shore of
Long Island on a little jaunt in an air-boat, surveying the
course for his projected Long Island Airways by which he
planned to bring all Long Island, even as far as Montauk,
within half an hour or less of New York by way of Kip's
Bay.
"It's perfect weather for sailing on the water; there seems
to be no good reason why the cruiser should be in such dis-
tress," he added, handing the glasses over to me. "There's
something very wrong down there, Walter. We're so near
our landing stage at Poquott anyhow that I think I'll drop
down and see if we can lend a hand in any way."
I took the glasses, as Kennedy planed down, and studied
the little drama below. Indeed they were working fran-
tically. The coast guard boat had towed the sinking cruiser

herself and they were hustling out the little tender to com-

before she sank completely in the Sound.
OUR flying boat taxied over the now comparatively calm
water of the Sound in front of Pine Beach just as by
dint of heroic and prompt action the coast guard crew in
the tender managed to run the nose of the fast-sinking cruiser,
now practically a-wash, up as far as possible on the sand.
I cast off the anchor from between the pontoons and our

craft rode the light swells, heading into the southwest off-
shore breeze as we faced the mysterious fair-weather tragedy.
"Hulloa-a-a! Ahoy — Kennedy!"
To my surprise Craig's name floated out from the tender
as a figure in the stern waved his arms semaphore-fashion.
"Ahoy yourself! Hello — McNaught!" Craig's keen eye
had recognized the figure and the voice instantly and he
grabbed the megaphone to answer, then turned to me. "Wal-
ter, can you make them out? It's McNaught of the Pro-
hibition Administrator's Office."
Conversation was difficult under the handicaps and we
waited until the tender pulled up to the leeward of us, then
I
managed to clamber aboard her as McNaught's hearty hands
assisted us in the transfer, none to easy except in the calm-
est water.
"What's the matter?" asked Craig as the tender now headed
back to the beached cruiser which it had shoved as far up
shore as it could. "It's just about the turn of the tide; the
tide's running out now. It won't be long before you can
see pretty much what was the trouble. Did you take the
people off?"
"That's the strange part offcit," returned McNaught. "We
sighted the boat sinking, but there wasn't a signal of dis-
tress, not a sign as if anybody was aboard. Vet she was
sinking, slowly, and the engine was running, aimlessly, with-
out a pilot. By the time we got abreast of her it was too
late to board her safely. We shouted and called. No answer.
So when her motors stopped we nosed her in toward shore
u
this craft just about where we expected the trawler. By
Godfrey, where do you suppose all these people on the beach
are coming from? There must be a hundred already. Let's
go ashore. We might learn something."
It was true; from the big estates and the little bungalows
all along Pine Beach the presence of a coast guard and a flying
boat was attracting the curious.
As the tender nosed its way where we could leap ashore
I could see the name in gilt letters on the cruiser: "Gigolo,"
beneath which was its home port, "Harbor Head, N. Y." She
was a beautiful craft and must have represented a great many
thousands of dollars, roomy, yet with superb lines, a com-
bination of comfort and speed.
"What happened?" inquired one of the crowd. "That's
young Eversley Barr's boat, which he had built last winter
up the Hudson."
Neither McNaught nor Kennedy was dealing any informa-
tion. "You people just keep back," ordered McNaught.
There was no keeping back their tongues, however. "Don't
look like anything wrong with that hull," observed one
shrewd amateur old salt. "Looks to me like someone opened
the sea-cocks and was letting the water in."
The observation coincided pretty much with that of Ken-
nedy, who had suggested to McNaught to send the tender
back to the "Samoset" for a pump that ran on the tender's
motor.
Between the pump and the falling tide it was not long
before we might expect some further light on the mystery
of the crewless "Gigolo." Unable to restrain himself longer.
McNaught clambered over the still half-submerged side.

and just got her to the beach in time. I figure on the fall-
ing tide we'll soon be able to learn something about her."
"Is it some craft you were looking for?" I asked.
"I don't know. I think so."
"What's the matter? You seem to be in some doubt."
McNAUGHT bent over closer to Kennedy and me. "Well,
you see we have information of a trawler that's been
lightering in the stuff from a tanker out past the twelve-mile
zone. Officially the 'Samoset' — that's the coast guard boat
I'm on here — was to arrive in this region tomorrow. Secretly
our orders were to get here a day ahead of time. That was
to get ahead of any leaks there might be, tipping these people
off. We haven't sighted any trawlers yet — and we did sight

MOS 'n' Andy Bring New
Dictionary of Negrology
to fore.
By A. M. Lawrence
RADIO has brought the American public an acquaint-
anceship with many new words. Naturally, you are
thinking of the technical terms such as oscillators,
microphones, antenna and television. The scientific
words, however, may be found in any technical dictionary.
The new words which are not in Mr. Webster's collection,
and probably never will be, but are familiar to millions of
people who twirl their dials every night in search of enter-
tainment, are those coined by two of the most famous char-
acters on the air — Amos 'n' Andy.
What home today with a Radio receiver does not enjoy
discussing the ups and downs of the' Fresh Air Taxicab
Company, Incorpulated? And after all, isn't "regusted" just as
expressive, if not more so, than the orthodox dictionary word
with another prefix? And isn't Andy explaining his feelings
more aptly when he is "rebarrassed" than if he were saying
"embarrassed?"
Now that Amos 'n' Andy have moved their Fresh Air Taxi-
cab stand to the more metropolitan sidewalks and streets of
Harlem, in keeping with their program of expansion into a
national broadcast feature, Radio listeners may well expect
to find that the Correll and Gosden lexicon of typical Amer-
ican negrology will include many new words, equally expres-
sive of negro psychology, against the New York background.
IF EVER there was romance in Radio broadcasting,
Charles J. Correll and Freeman F. Gosden have helped to
make it. They came into Radio back in 1925, just when
Radio came into its own. I doubt if they ever hoped to
have Radio become the means of their livelihood. Perhaps
it was then that they coined their most famous expression
AMOS
"I'se regusted." But they have had
time to change their minds about that.
Amos 'n' Andy have signed a long
term contract to appear over the net-
work of the National Broadcasting
Company and on August 19th the
pair began their first program, sched-
uled for fifty-two weeks, and spon-
sored by The Pepsodent Company of
Chicago, manufacturers of a well-
known and established dentrifice.
The Pepsodent Company in sponsor-
ing the Amos 'n' Andy programs
over a network of seventeen stations
nightly for a period of fifty-two
weeks is reported to have provided a
salary for Correll and Gosden that
exceeds all records for Radio come-
dians. That is why it is such a far
cry for them from the days of Radio
hoofing to the rank of eminence
which Amos 'n' Andy occupy today.
"It was just another way of having
fun, doing the thing they liked best
to do." says Bill Hay, the announct r
for WMAQ, who has introduced
Amos V Andy for almost three years
to the Radio audience, in reviewing
the early hardships of the now fa-
mous comedians.
"Incidentally, it gave them an out-
let for the harmony numbers they
were developing in their spare time
at home.

C"7rue Story of Mary and Bob
^OPULAR Columbia Pair Who Weave Thrilling Tales
From Lives of Others Have Their Own Romance
length in Central Park, he sat down upon a vacant bench, and,
for diversion, picked up a copy of True Story Magazine that
someone had left on the seat beside him. Looking it over, he
suddenly hit upon a great idea, and hurried home to tell his wife
of his plans.
The next day the two went to see Bernarr McFadden. They
told him of their great interest in all sorts of people high and
low, and suggested that they travel around the country in
search of experiences, that had happened to the people they
might meet. Their proposition was favorably received, and in a
week their first tour was started. In a year Mary and Bob
covered almost every State, hearing many interesting tales that
were later produced over the Radio. In many instances it was
rather difficult to persuade their new-found acquaintances to
tell them their experiences.
Parties have been arranged in their honor, and they have
been entertained by musicians, gypsies, circus folk and many
other different types of persons. Former murderers, thieves,
home-breakers and other law breakers have told Mary and Bob
the dramas that have played such important parts in their
lives, and the families of some of these unfortunate people have
written to them for sympathy and help.
M!
"Oh Bob, they
like us." —
Mary.
MARY and Bob, the interesting young couple of the
True Story Hour, who broadcast every Friday night
over stations of the Columbia Broadcasting System,
have developed the True Story Hour program by
dint of utilizing their own experiences. Their true story is as
absorbing and engaging as any one of those that they have
found in their travels.
It was three years ago last July, at a dance at the Hotel
Astor in New York, that Mary and Bob first met. Bob, a
recent college graduate, had contemplated but a short visit
to the city, but he suddenly decided that circumstances, in the
shape of Mary, necessitated prolonging his stay indefinitely.
He obtained an excellent position in a travel bureau on Fifth
Avenue, and from that time on made New York his permanent
home.
The following winter found Mary and Bob constantly to-
gether and when they were married in the spring, their many
friends were not surprised. Happiness seemed at last to have
come their way, when the bomb fell. The very satisfactory
travel bureau went out of business and Bob, consequently,
was out of a job.
THE afternoon that Bob was informed 'of this bad news he
wandered up and down the streets, hating to return home
and inform Mary of what had happened. Finding himself at
ANY letters are received from interested listeners
who find in Mary and Bob a reflection of their
own lives. Some have even suspected that the young
couple actually pried into the specific affairs of the
writers and told the world stories that were imagined
to be closely guarded secrets.
As a matter of fact, Mary and Bob present only
such stories of life incidents as are told by the authors
of the stories that appear in the True Story magazine.
Always there seems to be an insidious curiosity as
to the true story that brought Mary and Bob together.
Here is the letter that brought forth his answer to
that question:
"I wonder, Mary and Bob, who you really are your-
selves? There seems to be a perpetual mystery even
in your simple unadorned names of 'Mary and Bob'.
Are you really the adventuring couple you seem to
be as I sit before my Radio and hear your voices
coming to me from some distant place? What is your
own true story? Well, it doesn't matter, perhaps. I
know that whatever you say and whatever you may
be doing to entertain me you are yourselves the hero
and heroine of a true story that would make me glad
or make me sad as any story you ever have brought
to me over the air.
"That is why I like you. We are all walking ar-
chives of true romances, true tragedies, true comedies
that have shaped our lives. And we perpetually long
for some responsive chord that will answer and har-
monize with the emotions that toss and sway within
our own secret selves. Locked in the breast of every human
being is a true story. You have the key that unlocks the door
and makes us see ourselves through the experience of others.
More power to you, Mary and Bob."
THERE is an old man on the North Shore of Chicago, past
seventy years of age, who tunes in on Mary and Bob every
time they are on the air. Once exceedingly active and a man
who has lived a very full life, advancing years have taken their
toll of his activity and he no longer can see to read. The Radio
is his principal source of entertainment, and of all the programs
he hears the true stories broadcast by this couple are the ones
he looks forward to most. Every word they say is a true
story to him, and their telling often brings tears to his eyes.
This coming Thanksgiving, will mark their second year's
tour. They plan to return to New York for a few days, com-
bining an anniversary and holiday celebration. Then the
couple propose to start again on another year of travel, first
taking in the sunny South where they can escape the cold
blasts of winter. They will visit. Virginia, North and South
Carolina and several Florida resorts, afterwards wending their
way toward Texas and thence up to Chicago and the Middle
West always in search of truth that is stranger than fiction.
The true stories that they find as a result of their efforts will
be introduced each week yi dramatized form by means of the
Columbia Broadcasting System, and their large Radio audience '
will be given an opportunity to profit by the real and dramatic
experiences cf other people.

s Dad Tells about
Graham Was Star Southpaw
City Championship Because
By E. D. JENCKS
A TALL, wiry southpaw baseball pitcher of about 15
years of age was leading his team to victory on a
vacant sand-lot in St. Paul, Minnesota. The game
would decide the city championship and already his
team had a comfortable lead. It was a great day for the
"Laurels Club."
But, alas, there were no paeans of victory for "Lefty." Duty
in the costume of Art called and he answered as the shouts
subsided and there came the voice of his mother. He had for-
gotten. It was the day for his music lesson. Surely the music
teacher would postpone the lesson until tomorrow. But the
pleadings of his team-mates and of
the scant crowd of spectators were
of no avail. So the game ended, and
the southpaw, head down, walked
toward home. He hated music more
than ever now.
The Laurels' pitcher was none
other than Graham McNamee, in-
ternationally famous NBC announc-
er, during his boyhood days at his
home in St. Paul. The incident was
recalled by his father, J. B. McNa-
mee, when father and son held a
family reunion at KSTP, the Na-
tional Battery station, recently.
Early incidents in his life were re-
lated for Northwest Radio listeners
by McNamee, Senior, while Graham
sat beside him in the KSTP studios
at St. Paul.
"It was like that frequently when
Graham was a boy," the father told
members of the KSTP staff.
"His early love of sports at first
battled against the love of music,
which he received from his mother,
who had a beautiful lyric soprano
voice. But a happy medium was
reached," McNamee, Senior, con-
tinued, "and young Graham was able
to participate in all his sports and at the same time continue
with his study of voice and piano. In school he favored geogra-
phy and mathematics.
<<T1TE loved sports, baseball, football, hockey and boxing, and
XJ. played all of them. Sports were in his blood. The Laurels
baseball team lead by Graham, defeated all the amateur teams
in that district. When Winter came, the same group of boys
put on skates and played hockey. A boxing ring also was set
up, and the boys took turns meeting one another in three-
minute rounds, with a one-minute rest. They used the bell, a
referee, timers and observed all the regulations they knew.
"Three members of that original Laurels team still live in St.
Paul. Stan Donnelly, prominent St. Paul attorney, Eddie Fitz-
gerald, now managing hockey in the Twin Cities and Pat Sex-
ton, real estate agent.
"Graham carried a paper route in the morning and the pro-
ceeds went for such wants as baseball bats, football, skates, and
boxing gloves.
"Taking the other side of his life," his father continued, "he
started to study music when he was 10 years old, after his
mother noticed an unusual quality in his singing voice. Local
teachers and occasional lessons by his mother gave him his first
start in the musical field.
"It was the untiring care and intelligence of his mother that
was responsible for the successful musical training of Graham."
Mr. McNamee told of the ease with which Graham picked
up and originated new words and expressions when still a mere
child.
"lie seemed to be a natural adept in the use of language. He
came home one day and said that 'all the boys say that I
speak so many different words than they do.' He liked poetry
and perhaps that taste had something to do with building up
word power. His boy friends never held this against him."
/T ALWAYS is a Big Moment, and
a solemn one, when the young fel-
low takes his father's hand and turns
his face tozvard Life — and fares forth
on his own to make it or break it alone.
Sometimes the good winds blow, and
sometimes the bad. One never can tell
just what is to happen. Thus it zvas
when Graham McNamee, equipped
with a remarkable voice, well trained,
waved farewell to his father in St. Paul
and headed toward the East. It seemed
for a while that only the bad winds
blew. Then he zvas accepted as an an-
nouncer at WEAF. Straightway the
fair winds wafted him to the pinnacles
of fame.
Graham's. father always knows when his son is going to broad-
cast. He has a special chair in the visitor's gallery at KSTP
where he can always be found, when his Radio-famous son is
on the air.
"When that boy announces baseball you can hear the crack
of the bat and when he gives his descriptions of a big prize-
fight, he is taken back to his old days in St. Paul when the
Laurels staged their own boxing entertainment."
There is a gleam in the eyes of the father when he speaks of
his son and members of the KSTP staff can easily see that the
sporting blood in Graham McNamee is inherited from his
father.
Mr. McNamee made a special trip
to the KSTP studios at nine o'clock
one morning to hear the voice of
his son. Graham gave his father a
fine receiving set, but the atmos-
phere of a broadcasting studio is
the attraction which brings him to
KSTP whenever it is convenient.
And there he sits leaning com-
fortably back in the mellow light
before the vibrant articulating
throat of the loudspeaker. A quiet
man, gray, a bit reserved but with a
merry twinkle in the gentle eyes.
You feel a touch of distinction in
his manner and yet he is entirely
friendly. Then you note that he is
listening most intently to the voice
— a voice that you instantly recog-
nize as that of Graham McNamee.
Strangers, of course do not under-
stand. They only see that he fol-
lows every tonal gesture of the man
at the microphone so far, far away
and yet so very, very near. It is the
voice of his boy, the little fellow
who played on the hills and the
river banks of St. Paul just a little
while ago.
The famous NBC announcer was pleased to see the opening
of KSTP in his home-town in March of 1928 and has watched
with great interest its steady development as one of the leading
stations on the continent since that time. On his last visit to
St. Paul, Graham took the occasion to greet all his old team
mates of the Laurels Club over the air from the National Bat-
tery station and also to speak to his Northwest friends over the
KSTP microphone.
"When I am sitting in the KSTP studios and hear Graham
speaking, I seem to visualize more clearly the scene in the
New York studios where he works.
His father took occasion to remark about an early criticism
of his son which appeared in a New York paper, to the effect
that Graham should not be allowed to report games because
he knew nothing about sports.
"The critic thought of him, no doubt, as an artist and a singer,
and was not aware that he was saturated in sports, from his
early boyhood," explained Mr. McNamee.
A visit to the residence of Senior McNamee reveals the
esteem in which he holds his son. He has stacks of magazines
containing stories about Graham and has many of his pictures
on the walls.
"We have always been great pals," his father said. "When I
was in New York last Fall, Graham and I were always together.
He showed me just about everything there is to see in that
great city."
Mr. McNamee, Senior, was land attorney for the Northern
Pacific Railway for sixteen years. Previously he was attorney
in the office of the Secretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C,
writing his legal opinions on Public Land questions.
Graham sang in St. Paul choirs before he left to continue
his musical training in New York. There he sang in a number
of Fifth Avenue choirs before he entered Radio. It was in
1923 that he drifted into the studios of WEAF and asked them
for a tryout. He was immediately employed.

cjhe Balloon Jumpers
Natalie Wanted a "Go-Getter"
for a lover, but she didn't count
on being roped into love.
(Copyright by/ Calvin Harris.) All rights reserved.
NATALIE GEROUX stood on the seventh tee of the Skilli-
queechie Country Club. Her face was flushed with anger
and the bow of her lips had changed to a red line of
repression. She refused to look toward Dick Kirkton,
who was scraping a handful of damp sand from the tee box.
Natalie addressed her ball three times with the club head, made
a quick backswing, jiggled the club a trifle at the top of the swing
By Hugh Fullerton
and slashed downward quickly and viciously. The ball, as if
resentful, bounded high for twenty yards, twisted off at a tangent,
rolled into the tangled rough fifty yards from the tee and- strove
to hide from its tormentor.
•
"I SAY, Miss Natalie, hold still a mo',
1 cawn't you? I'll have you right down."
And Calder-Wall fired both barrels of the
shotgun. There was a squeal from the air
and I charged upon the arrant marksman as
he was dropping fresh cartridges into the
gun and directing Natalie to hold still.
"Damn !" said Natalie Geroux distinctly with proper emphasis.
With a determined tread she stalked past Dick Kirkton and, with
firm grip and perfect control, broke her driver over the tee box.
"You ought to be spanked," said Dick sharply. "That's rotten
sportsmanship, and a bum sport who cannot control her temper
never will learn to play good golf."
"I don't care," stormed Natalie, striving to hold back tears. "It's
all your fault. You tried deliberately to make me mad and made
me miss the shot. I never shall play golf with you again."
"You're darned right you won't unless you can learn to control
yourself," said Dick shortly. "You're a spoiled brat anyhow, and
it is time someone told you the truth about yourself."
\
SI
'istory, perhaps. I'm not certain. I read of him somewhere. No
matter ! But he had a great idea. Great idea, I assure you ! Great
idea! An idea that should be applied today to the Colonials."
When Calder-Wall started on the subject of Colonials I knew I
would beat him and we were playing for a ball a hole. On the
subject of the Colonials — among whom he mentally included Ameri-
cans— he neglected even his golf.
"I don't recall the details," he repeated, addressing his ball and
flubbing the shot. " 'Erod his name was. 'Erod, King, Emperor,
something of that sort. You may find him in 'istory, perhaps.
His idea, briefly, was to kill the first born of all Colonials. Ripping
idea, what?
NATALIE'S face registered amazement, doubt, bewilderment
and indignation, fading into one flush of anger. Her lips
compressed more tightly, her blue eyes flashed and, although her
lip trembled, she tried to glare.
With set purpose and determination she jerked a mashie from her
bag, broke it over the tee box, and -with deliberation broke putter,
midiron, niblick, mashie niblick, spade and spoon across the box,
hurled the fragments in all directions, threw the bag off the tee
and, without a word jerked a diamond solitaire from the third
finger of her left hand, hurled it violently against the ground near
Dick Kirkton's feet and, with head erect and eyes flashing, marched
off across greens and fairways.
"Whew !" said Dick Kirkton as he patted the damp sand, perched
a ball upon it and, after staring an instant at the diamond before
placing it carefully in the pocket of his windbreaker, "Natalie
excels herself. I have seen her in pets before, but nothing like that.
It will require diplomacy — and waiting."
So saying he timed his backswing perfectly, swished the driver
downward with precision and accuracy, followed through and sent
a screaming drive two hundred and seventy yards down the fair-
way, clearing the bunker and landing in a perfect lie for the ap-
proach shot. Natalie, tramping determinedly onward, saw the ball
out of the corner of her eye.
"Damn! Damn!" she said.
For him to make a perfect shot after the scene was the final
straw.
CALDER-WALL and I were waiting to approach the sixth
green when this happened, and Calder-Wall was talking.
"There was an old fella," he was saying, "King, Emperor. Some-
thing of that sort; I don't quite recall what. You'll find him in
"Should be applied to Colonials today. For what good are they,
I awsk you? What good are they? They are born, they grow up,
they marry. And what is the result, I awsk you? What is the
result? Nothing but more blooming Colonials."
At this juncture Calder-Wall became suddenly acutely conscious
of the scene on the seventh tee.
"Oh, I say!" he said, adjusting his monocle, and forgetting where
his ball had gone. "There appears to be a slight -ah-misunderstand-
ing in the twosome ahead. Bally waste, I call it, destroying clubs
like that. Must be a high spirited gel, eh what ? Fa wncy smashing
clubs like that!"
He scrutinized the pair through his monocle, twisting one side
of his face out of plumb.
"I say!" he said. "She appears to be leaving him. Little spat,
eh what ? Ripping gel ! Quite ! Fawncy rowing that way in
public! Is the man her husband?"
"No — not yet," I said, driving onto the green and going three
up. "She is Miss Natalie Geroux. She can afford to smash clubs,
as her father is rich. The man with her is Dick Kirkton, the best
golfer we have. He is her fiance — or was until just now, anyhow."
"Fawncy! Rowing with one's fiance in public! Bally taste I
call it, rowing before one is married. I fawncy the dear gel will
need someone to console her ? I rawther fawncy the task, eh what ?
Introduce me, will you?"
Llf^ ALDER- WALL," I said earnestly. "When we reach the
vJ clubhouse we will go to the locker room and drink. The
drink will be bad ; perhaps poisonous, but it is safer for you than
Natalie Geroux. As a friend and well wisher I warn you to shun
her ; to avoid her presence as you would avoid a pestilence. In her
present mood no man, especially no young, handsome and strange
man, will be safe within a mile of her. I thought Dick could tame
her, but evidently he has failed and there is no chance of anyone
else succeeding."
"High spirited, eh, what? I fawncy it would be a bit of a lark
to know her! Exciting, and all that, eh what?"
"Calder-Wall," I said imploringly. "Do not take the risk. I
know you have climbed Alps, hunted lions and tigers in Africa and
India, speared wild boars, shot elephants, ridden to hounds, volun-
teered for reconnaissance in No Man's land during the war, driven
airplanes, raced motor cars — but do not be rash. That young
woman specializes in masculine scalps. If you insist upon meeting
her she will have your scalp dangling at her belt in a week."
"I say, is she of aboriginal blood, or is that merely one of your
quaint Americanisms?"
"Not exactly, Calder-Wall. But she has the instincts of a Sioux,
the conscience of an Apache, the cunning of a Cherokee, and males
are her prey. She is off the reservation now. and no man is safe."
"I think I shall meet her. Is she a looker?"
"She is a queen," I admitted.
/
32
«Y
OU SEE I have been posting up a bit." explained
Calder-Wall. "I find that you are a queen,
princess, pippin, something of that sort, among your
people. Sioux, I believe? But I fawncy they are
spoofing a bit about you scalping folks, eh what?"
"A queen? Fawncy! I suppose she rules one of those quaint
aboriginal tribes of which you spoke?"
"Well, not exactly. Her subjects are of all kinds and conditions.
When I said Queen I meant peach, pippin— a beautiful, imperious
and imperial female."
"Ah, I see. Another of your quaint American customs ! You
elect a queen if she is beautiful. Not a bad idea. You know, I
rawther fawncy I am learning American,/ I — how is it you say it?
Oh, yes: I acquire you. No? I get you? It is the same thing-
acquire, get. No matter! I get you. That is, I follow your
mental processes. When a lady looks and behaves like a queen she
is a queen whether she is of royal blood or not. I suppose, also,
that if a woman behaves like a lady she is a lady, whether she is
or not? And if a man behaves like a bally ass he's a Lord?
Rawther neat, that, eh what? I fawncy I shall enjoy meeting this
lady you refer to as "Her Majesty."
"The pleasure will be all yours, Calder-Wall, and the pain," I
said. "Meantime, having holed out a long putt, I am four up and
it is my honor."
I HAD rather "fawncied," as Calder-Wall would have expressed it,
that Natalie, having quarreled with Dick, would avenge herself
upon the next male who crossed her path. Most of us members of
Skill iqueechie had become wise and avoided her, after sad expe-
riences. Practically every male member, single and unattached, and
some not so single, had fallen into and jumped or been tossed out
of love with Natalie since her return from school.
She was considered as attractive and dangerous as the Nineteenth
hole and the most beautiful of our natural hazards,_ excepting
perhaps, the seventh, which is our pride. The seventh is a double
dog leg, only 286 yards, but with a pitch over trees to a sloping
green guarded by traps and sugar loafs and, if you overplay it,
you drop the ball into a wooded gully. When one says- Natalie is
as beautiful as the seventh hole Skilliqueechie can offer no greater
flattery.
Natalie is the daughter of Papa Bill Geroux, the richest member
of the club, holder of the Nineteenth hole trophy and regarded as
nonfillable. Since she was seventeen Natalie has devastated us and
caused more heartaches than worm casts or brown rust ever have
created. Everyone has taken turns being in love with her, but for
most of us she has been too strenuous. Trying to make love to a
girl as beautiful as the movie stars are in pictures, who can swim
like an Ederle, golf like a Glenna, play tennis like another Helen
and dance all night without mussing her bobbed brown hair is a full
time job. No one had made any perceptible progress toward win-
ning Natalie until Dick Kirkton appeared and proceeded to appro-
priate her.
Dick came from out West somewhere, worked his way through
college, made good and was picked by Papa Bill Geroux to manage
his business. Papa Bill introduced him at Skilliqueechie, where he
proceeded to become our scratch man, our representative in the
Amateur, and the winner of all the Saturday afternoon cups,
although he played only on the week ends.
"I've turned the business over to him," said Papa Bill. "He runs
it better than I ever could. Having discovered him I can now
devote myself intensively to golf, attend to my regular drinking
without worrying, and watch him work himself thin."
Natalie, however, held aloof and refused to share her father's
opinion.
"He is a pill," she announced after one round of golf with him.
"A dead one. His distributor is slow and his spark is missing."
DICK fell in love with her right away, but he did it differently.
He refused to be her slave, to obey her slightest whim, or to
crawl and play dead when she signalled. He beat her at swimming,
gave her sound trouncings at golf, and grinned when she stormed.
When she was speeding in her runabout, he calmly shut off the
spark, stopped her car, lifted her out of the driver's seat and drove
the car himself, bringing her, raging and furious, back to the club-
house in safety.
"He thinks because he is a male he does everything better. He
looks down upon and despises us women."
"She's too precious to let her risk herself," said Dick calmly.
Natalie had been dum founded, shocked, perhaps a little thrilled.
Then, after six months of constant quarreling their engagement
was announced and it seemed as if the strong, masterful method
was the secret of success. Several of us mourned because we had
not thought of choking Natalie or punching her on the jaw to make
her love us. She appeared to have surrendered entirely and to
rejoice in it, until, five down at the seventh hole on that eventful
afternoon Dick tried to tell her to keep her hands in front of the
club head and the left arm stiff, and she had topped her tee shot,
smashed her clubs and hurled his ring back at him.
Dick was in the shower, whistling but a little anxious, when
Calder-Wall and I entered the locker room.
"I say, he seems cheerful," said Calder-Wall. "Well, it's an
unpleasant gale that fails to benefit someone. Introduce me."
"Calder-Wall," I said. "Reconsider before it is too late. You
are a good scout even if you are an. Englishman. I like you and
would protect you. You are rich, handsome, well born, only one
removed from a title, athletic, traveled. You have everything for
which to live, and you insist upon rushing to your doom."
"Oh, I say! You're spoofing! Gels aren't so terrible. I'm a
bit of being, popular with gels — when I like them."
"Then, on your own head be it, Calder-Wall."
"Quite all right, old chap. Lead me to my fate."
It was under those circumstances that I introduced Calder-Wall
to Natalie Geroux, not comprehending fully the possible results.
"Charmed, Your Majefsty," he said, bending over her hand.
"Majesty? I do not quite understand."
"You see, I have been posting up a bit. I find that you are a
queen, princess, pippin, something of that sort, among your people.
Sioux, I believe?"
"Sioux?" asked Natalie with lifted eyebrows.
"P'r'aps not. Some aboriginal people. I don't mind. Thank
heaven you're not a Colonial. Prefer Hottentots. I fawncy they
are spoofing a bit about you scalping folks."
"Oh!" said Natalie, grasping the situation. "No, I don't scalp
them. Usually I boil them in oil."
"My word ! Boil them in oil ! How unusual ! Are you spoofing
or is that another of your quaint Americanisms? I adore Ameri-
canisms."
I fled and left them, reflecting that boiling in oil or burning at
the stake would be merciful compared with the tortures Calder-
Wall would have to endure. Natalie had that look in her eyes.
C ALDER-WALL'S progress was more rapid than would have
been expected. Under Natalie's expert direction he developed
unexpected traits. Dick Kirkton, after two days of solitaire on the
course, commenced to lose some of his cheerfulness. His game
went off, and his whistle in the locker room produced some lu-
gubrious notes. It was not, however, until two weeks had elapsed
that he commenced to show signs of real worry. He had calculated
that in ten days Natalie would soften to the extent of permitting
him to apologize and that, within a fortnight, the solitaire would
be back on the finger upon which it belonged. At the end of two
weeks he went from the locker room to the lounge and dined at
the club. Two days later, under pretense of studying the entry
lists, he posted himself so that Natalie would be forced to pass him
on her way from the lunch room to the women's locker room. She
passed that way and so far as was visible to the naked eye, did not
even see him.
Dick was inclined to blame Calder-Wall for the delay in estab-
lishing an armistice. During that fortnight I lost Calder-Wall
entirely as an opponent, and had to buy my own golf balls. He
played a round a day with Natalie, lunched with her, dined with
her, motored with her. He came injto the locker room hurriedly
one evening just after Dick Kirkton, refusing a cocktail, hurled
his shoes into his locker and banged the locker room door as he
went out.
"How is the scalp?" I asked.
"I have managed, thus far, to preserve what remains of my hirsute
adornment intact," said Calder-Wall. "Her Highness is not so
dangerous as represented."
♦'IF YOU don't promise to behave yourself
I and marry me I'll let go the rope,"
threatened Dick as Natalie floated about in
the air at the end of his clothes line. "I hate
you, I'll never speak to you again. Oh !
Dicky ! PLEASE !" This with a little squeal
as Dick suddenly let out about ten feet of
slack rope.
S3
"When are you sailing, Calder-Wall?" I persisted. "The last
time I saw you, a fortnight ago, you were planning to return to
England in ten days."
"Ah yes. I had forgotten ! Not a thing transpiring, as you say
in your quaint American way. Never mind ! I consider nothing
transpiring quite as good English as nothing doing. You obtain
me — I mean grasp my meaning ? Fact is I am considering remain-
ing permanently.
"Become a Colonial? Ridiculous idea — insulting, I might say.
I could not think of renouncing dear old George. Eawncy; if the
old one should die I would be Lord Squifflehart. Not that it
matters! Custom and all that sort of thing, you understand?"
I saw it was hopeless. Poor old Calder-Wall was doomed. In
three weeks after he met Natalie Geroux he was seriously consider-
ing leaving dear old George flat and buying a ranch somewhere on
Park Avenue. Even the prospect of becoming Lord Squifflehart
meant little. It was at that period that he appealed to me for
assistance.
"I say, old fel' — one mo' " he said, tackling me in the lounge.
"I'm in a bit of a quandary. P'raps you may be able to assist me."
"Something about Her Majesty?"
"Righto! But I fawncy you were spoofing about her being
Queen of the Sioux. Fact is she hasn't a drop of aboriginal blood
in her veins. I had to reassure the old one on that point. Fawncy,
he wrote warning me not to marry a squaw !"
"Look here, Calder-Wall," I said seriously. "You don't think
Natalie Geroux is going to marry you?"
"Why not? She's perfectly eligible. Even the old one cawn't
think of any reasonable objection. She's not a Colonial you know,
tf
CALDER-WALL and I looked at
each other, and with a mutual
understanding withdrew from the
intimate little scene, making our
way back to the club house across
the scarred fairways.
I
(g>
and, after all, her ancestors were English."
"Did it ever enter your mind that she may have her own ideas
in regard to eligibility? Have you asked her?"
"Oh I say ; not so hastily, old chap ! I have given the question
much thought. I find that the young person is entirely acceptable,
and lovely, and in due time . . ."
"In due time," I interrupted rudely, "she will break you over a
tee box, throw the remains into the rough and make up with Dick
Kirkton."
"Fawncy ! Break me over a tee box ! Throw me into the rough !
Quaint Americanisms ! I shall make a note of them."
"As to the young lady I am not worried. I have discussed in-
formally, of course, the subject of matrimony. She has some of
your quaint American ideas about such things. Fact is I wanted
your advice along those lines. She says the man she marries must
be an advance procurer."
"A what?"
"Advance procurer, I believe she said. Something of that sort.
Perhaps she said proceed acquirer, I'm not certain."
"Oh ! You mean a go-getter."
"Ah yes ! That is the term. Same thing, advance procurer —
go-getter. Will you enlighten me as to the precise meaning of the
term? I have decided to become one."
"Go-getter means just what it says: a man who goes after wh.it
he wants and gets it: a hustler, a producer, one who makes good
at anything he sets out to do."
"I see! Quaint American expression! I gather she admires men
who, as she says, inaugurate events?"
"You mean start something?"
"Yes. That is it. Start something. I shall adopt the idea. I
used to be rawther good at that at Coll. I don't mean to be what
you call inflated, but the fellas said I was."

ALL America is air minded.

wings, others are on the air over
the ether waves.
THE smiling lady at the right is Louise Thaden, San Fran-
cisco's air minded aviatrix, who has captured the woman's
altitude and endurance records. When Miss Thaden is not
"up in the air," she is "on the air." Auditors of NBC stations
on the Pacific coast heard the flyer tell her reactions during
more than twenty-two hours at the controls recently when she
broke the world's endurance record by more than five hours.
A genuine canary orchestra — that's the latest wrinkle to
go on the air from Station WNRC, Greensboro, N. C. Pete,
the leader, who posed for the picture down in the left hand
corner of this page, is a mighty popular member of the staff,
according to Wayne Nelson, director of the station. A good
part of Pete's appeal comes from the fact that the little
songster has a special audience of canary birds, and when he
goes on the air reports come in of other birds near loud-
speakers in North Carolina bursting into spontaneous singing
enthusiasm. Now bird owners in that part of the country have
formed the habit of moving their feathered pets near the
receiving set.
When Herbert Hoover was inaugurated President of the
United States last March, the Radio audience of the nation
was treated to something new. William S. Lynch, flying an-
nouncer of the National Broadcasting Company, went up in a
giant tri-motored army plane to look things over from several
thousand feet above the city. Talking to announcers at six
different points in the Capitol he proved that descriptive broad-
casting from airplanes was practical.

GJhe Man Behind
iving Broadway the Air
M
IKE FRIGHT is a ter-
rible thing. Some
say it is worse than stage
fright. The following ar-
ticle by Doty Hobart tells
of his many experiences as
program director of the
Columbia Broadcasting
System in bringing Broad-
way stars before the unre-
sponsive microphone.
By DOTY HOBART
OH, YES, when I say, "Giving
Broadway the Air," that is
exactly and literally what I
mean. Wise, debonair old
Broadway, fighting proud and jeal-
ous of its glamorous traditions, has
come to the point where glitter,
tinsel and bright lights count for
nothing, and it must make its bow
to the mightiest audience in the
world through the medium of sound
only. As the program director for
one of the great trans-continental
broadcast systems, it has been my
privilege to have had an active part
on the stage of this drama of the
dramatis personae.
I could name a hundred Broad-
way stars and featured entertainers
who have come to me, sometimes
haughtily, sometimes a bit defiant,
and again idly curious, and now and
then actually eager and interested
in cultivating this new world for

Few of the millions of listeners who
have heard the winsome sisters, Sara and
Nellie Kouns, are aware of the fine points of
Radio technique they mastered in order to present
their voices over the air in such carefully blended har-
mony. Since their first bow they never have regretted
their acquaintance with the mysterious microphone.
Mr. Hobart was proud of their acquisition from Broad-
wayland.
the entertainer — the Radio audience. For some this new
acquaintance of Old Man Microphone meant a neat bridge
in the gap between the speaking stage and the talking pic-
tures. But you will perhaps be more interested in the spec-
tacle suggested here of the first move in "Giving Broadway
the Air," and a word or two of introduction to the studio
director.
"What is a studio director?" you ask. Let Raymond Hitch-
cock answer that for you. Word had come to me that
"Hitcjhy" had been signed up by an important advertising
sponsor. It was my job to complete the arrangements for
his part on the program so I went around to his hotel. Our
last meeting had been in a motion picture studio. He was
surprised to meet me this time as a Radio program director.
He asked, just as you might have done:
"Whatever in the world is a program director? Is it as
terrifying as it sounds?" My explanation was that I was
writing the scripts for air performances, directing the re-
hearsals and putting the program on the air.
"What's this going to be, a show?" he asked. It was his
first broadcast from a studio, although he had spoken over
the microphone several times at banquets and dinners. "Do
I have to learn a part?"
"No, 'Hitchy,' you don't have to memorize anything — just
read some lines I'll write for you in the script."
"They'd better be good," was his only comment, and after
telling him that I wanted about seven minutes of stories from
him for the same performance I left him with instructions
as to where the studio was located.
"Hitchy" was keenly interested in both the rehearsal and
the air performance. After it was over and I was thank-
ing him for his splendid work, he turned on me and said.
"You know, Doty, this job of yours — this program director
— intrigues me. I've got it all figured out now. Here's what
a Radio program director is — stage doorman (I saw you
lock the door to the studio to keep the visitors out), stage
manager, playwright, scene shifter, call boy (you told me
when it was my turn to go to the mike), property man (you
blew the police whistle for that riot effect), impresario,
prompter (you found my place for me in the script once —
but only once!) and the man who raises and lowers the cur-
tain to open and close the show. And now, just to make
this a perfect evening for yourself, would you mind calling
a cab*ft*f"me!" And then he added, "If the theatrical unions
ever invade Radio, the program director will lose his job
and fifteen or twenty-men taice his place1''

FROM red plush studios and cross
talk to the austere simplicity of
celotex walls and soundproof con-
struction.
From 50 watts in 1921 to 50,000 watts
in 1929.
From a now-and-then attempt to reach
the next city block with one-two-three-
four-can-you-hear-me programs, to al-
most twenty hours on the air each day
with the most elaborately planned enter-
tainment designed to interest the sta-
tion's listeners in every part of North
America, South America, the islands of
the Pacific, passengers on ships on all
the seas, and long-wave receiving sets
in Europe.
That is the story of the Crosley Radio
Corporation's broadcasting station,
WLW, in Cincinnati, now known to the
entire listening world as "The Nation's
Station."
Powel Crosley, Jr., president of the
Crosley Radio Corporation, had great
faith in the future of Radio when he be-
gan the manufacture eight years ago of
Radio receiving sets that would be avail-
able to anyone who wished to listen to
what then seemed a marvelous new toy.
It is doubtful, however, that even he in
his most optimistic moments visualized
the gargantuan child that his Radio in-
fant would grow to be in eight years.
In 1921, Mr. Crosley began the opera-
tion of a Radio broadcasting transmitter
in his home in College Hill, Cincinnati.
He had begun the manufacture of Radio
receiving sets to pick up sounds from
the few stations that were pioneering
with sound transmission. He felt that
he, too, should provide sound for those
who bought his Radio receiving sets.
That was still within the time when
the marvel of any sound, be it noise or
music, was breath-taking when heard
through a set of head-phones. To hear a
station in the next town marked an
epoch. To hear from the next state was
to attain the pinnacle of heart's desire
for the first Radio set owner. Mrs. Cros-
ley delights to tell how "We thought
Powel was fooling us" when he broad-
cast his voice to her and some of their
friends assembled in the next room be-
hind a closed door.

NOW Mr. Crosley's Monday morning
mail brings him Der Deutch Rund-
funk, one of the leading German Radio
magazines, its program pages marked
to show that the magazine regularly pub-
lishes the daily program schedules of
WLW. It brings him three of the larg-
est daily papers in Cuba, each one pub-
lishing WLW programs, news stories
and pictures of WLW entertainers at
the insistence of thousands of Cuban lis-
teners who will tune to no other station
and for whom WLW every week broad-
casts a special program in Spanish. He
sees daily papers from the Bahama Is-
lands publishing only Crosley programs
because WLW is the favorite station
there. His secretary must be a linguist
to translate the letters that come from
South America attesting to the excel-
lence with which WLW is received even
in the Andes mountains. Weekly there
come to him hundreds of letters from
ship Radio operators, astounded at the
volume and clarity with which WLW
can be picked up in all waters, from the
Pacific off the Chilean coast, to the Red
Sea, and on the Atlantic ocean, the
Indian ocean, the Caribbean sea, and
every other place where dog-watch oper-
ators while their lonely hours away with
Radio entertainment.
That is Mr. Crosley's reward today
for the determination to operate WLW
for the greatest audience with the most
satisfactory service.
And this service in the matter. of en-
tertainment, he sums up in these words,
an analysis of what Radio broadcasting
means to the public:
"School. Newspaper. Church. Dance.
Concert. Cook book. Physical educa-
tion instructor. Advisor. Entertainer of
children. Counsellor. Neighbor. Doctor.
Nurse. Companion. Work lightener.
Soloist. Circus. Historian. Story teller.
Inspirer. Friend."
It is a far cry from that work-shop
transmitter back in 1921 with Mr. Cros-
ley as operator, announcer, engineer,
and staff, to this great 50,000-watt trans-
mitter that must be served by more than
a score of engineers, and more than
thirty program builders, writers and
producers, to say nothing of the hun-
dreds and hundreds of accomplished en-
tertainers, musicians, and speakers who
appear on its continuous programs.

the transmitting apparatus that sends the
WLW programs out to millions of
Radio receivers than there has been' in
the method of producing Radio pro-
grams. By the time WLW's call letters
had been assigned in place of the experi-
mental call under which it first operated,
it had progressed to the elegance of a
studio that was one small room, heavily
curtained in red plush with only two
small windows and plenty of heat. The
transmitter was just behind the curtains.
Generator noises were a part of the en-
tertainment.
THE microphone resembled one of
the old phonograph horns, about a
yard and a half long with a horn' diam-
eter of at least 38 inches. The broad-
caster of necessity had to stick his head
into the horn to talk or to sing. To add
to the excitement of broadcasting, en-
gineers on the B. & O. railroad that
ran a block away from the first studio
of WLW, took delight in permitting
the Radio audience to hear the whistle
of the locomotives as they rushed past.
Some of them even went so far as to
insist that they could notify the division
superintendent in this way that they were
careful in the approach of street cross-
ings. The racket was often so uproari-
ous that the Radio concert would be
inaudible. It sometimes was necessary
for the station to "stand by" while the
engineer "completed his selection."
Now WLW is about to move into its
five new studios especial^' built on the
eighth floor of the new addition to the
Crosley Radio corporation's factory
building. The red plush drapings long
ago gave way to studio construction that
more nearly approached perfection, for
the WLW studios in the past were de-
cidedly adequate for the productions
broadcast by its 5,000-watt transmitter.
But these new studios of WLW are
to be the ne plus ultra of perfection.
Sound treated material, representing the
most exhaustive researches of accous-
tical engineers, will line the studio walls.
Although it means little to the average
Radio listener to know that this wall
treatment will cut down reverberations
equally at all frequencies, they cannot
fail to notice, when the new studios be-
gin to be used, that the monotony of
tonal quality so often noticeable in
Radio programs, will have disappeared
and music and voices will have the same
vibrant qualities characteristic of sounds
heard by the human ear unassisted by
the mechanical equipment that is Radio.
Once upon a time, visitors were in-
vited to watch the programs of WLW.
When the 5,000-watt transmitter was
installed, and that was a "super-power"
station four years ago, a large audi-

by glass walls, was prepared for the
accommodation of Radio listeners who
wanted to watch as well as hear.
That was before broadcasting became
a business, however. That was before
50,000-watt transmitters magnified every
defect in studio pick-ups. That was be-
fore microphones were so sensitive that
they could record sounds that never
could be audible to the human ear alone;
and before this magnifying of Radio
sounds made impractical the reverbera-
tions set up by the great panes of glass
in the studio walls.

months ago, the amazing
growth of WLW's staff made nec-
essary by its continually increasing com-
mercial building and its many hours on
the air, created such a demand for floor
space that the WLW auditorium was
made into offices for announcers and
continuity writers. Now admittance is
by invitation, and visitors see the Radio
program only through the glass doors
of the studio.
When the new studios are completed,
however, the only way to see a Radio
program will be to buy one. Small win-
dows opening onto audition rooms will
provide program sponsors with an op-
portunity to watch the entertainment.
Regretful though he was that anyone
should be denied the opportunity of
watching the Radio performances they
had so often heard, Mr. Crosley decided
he would have to consider the greatest
good to the greatest number of people.
"Perfect transmission is what every
listener has a right to expect just as he
must expect perfect reception from his
Radio receiver," Mr. Crosley says.
"And perfect transmission with a 50,-
000-watt transmitter like ours, means
that every detail of studio construction
must be perfect. That's why the glass
windows through which we used to dis-
play our programs in the making had
to go."
Programs now! Programs now have
changed from those early days of Radio
as much as power and equipment have
grown.
Mr. Crosley's first little transmitter
demanded nothing much in programs.
Even the next transmitters — 100 watts
and 500 watts — were operated on the
spur of the moment, as it were.
Some musicians were glad to appear
before the microphone because of the
"newness" of Radio broadcasting. Oth-
ers, however, would have nothing to do
with the new "toy."- They thought it
beneath their dignity as "artists." The
phonograph was the most important
staff member and its music was picked
up from in front of the microphone in

E'S locked in my stateroom now," Sullivane repeated.
He leaned forward to drop the dead ashes from his
cigar between his heavy flat feet. "He's worth a mil-
lion dollars to me, I tell you, and I keep him well-
locked, I'll say. No chance of his getting away."
Sullivane glanced around the little circle in the smoking room
of the Empress of the Orient, his small eyes gleaming triumphantly.
The other men had been watching him intently, but when his
eyes would meet theirs they looked away. Young Van Vleet jerk-
ily uncrossed his long legs and began to rub the palms of his
nervous hands up and down his knees ; his brown eyes studied
the gaudy gilt chandelier overhead which shook with the vibra-
tions of the engines in the pit three decks below. Pelham, the
blond Englishman with saturated-blue eyes, teetered back and
forth against the floor-fastened center table and yawned. He
raised a hand to cover his mouth, and the back of it shone with
moisture, for the night was hot and the atmosphere heavy ; the
heat of Calcutta still clung to the steamship. In the corner two
American business men, Hubbard and Cheney, the one tall and
broad-shouldered with a large face and projecting teeth, and
the other small and pudgy and dandified, stared at the floor,
obviously not proud that the man Sullivane claimed to be a
compatriot.
Sullivane's fat fingers searched his vest pockets for a match
while he challenged the circle with his watery eyes. His fingers
were big and strong, but they shook unhealthily. He didn't find
a match and ended by chewing his dead cigar, rolling it between
his thick lips and flecking imaginary ashes from time to time.
"I managed the one and only Abyssinian Princess. With Bar-
num you know." He swelled visibly ; cushions of fat showed
at the base of his skull. "She had three legs, all real. When
she died — didn't exercise her legs enough, I guess — I managed
to pick up Samsonia, the iron-jawed woman. She was a peasant
from Austria, with the back and neck muscles of an elephant.
Say, she could tear chains, or packs of cards, or anything she
could get her teeth on. Lift two men at once by taking the
tags of their belts in her mouth. Samsonia was about the best
attraction I ever had. . . . Well, she and I had a difference
one day. She was a bruiser, I'll tell you. I had to hit her with
a chair or she'd have mashed me. Some of her teeth came out.
She was ruined, of course, for my business. Rotten luck, I "call
it. Right in the middle of the season, too. Still, I had twelve
thousand dollars laid by. Not bad in six years, eh?
"I was looking around for a fat woman, a human skeleton or
a midget when Hohensight — or Hohenseit, though I always called
him Hohen, plain Hohen — tackled me one day.
" 'Sullivane,' he says, T served a hitch in the islands, and I
got over to India a couple of times. Sullivane,' he says, 'if you
want to make your fortune easy, just get one of those Hindu
fakirs. Gosh, the things they do!' Then he told me of the
rope stunt and the mango tree stunt and the cocoanut water
stunt. Swore he had seen all three with his own eyes.
iiT'M WISE, I am, and for a while the thing didn't appeal
J- to me Here's the way it looked: If those fakirs were
so blamed good, why hadn't old Phineas T. grabbed off a few?
Or some other enterprising circus man. Love me, but the woods
are full of men looking for circus and museum material ! Africa,
Borneo, Mexico, China — probably dozens of them had been in
India.
LOOK, there he goes !" cried Pelham.
See ! High up ! Climbing the rope !"
47
DELI EVE it or not these
^"^ mystics from the Orient
know their mango trees, and
when Sullivane, the circus
showman, saw a Yoghi plant
a seed and make a full sized
tree grow up instantly be-
fore his own eyes he decided
to bring the act to Broad-
way. It would have meant
a million dollars if Yoghi
hadn't been quite so good
with his magic rope.
SUDDENLY came a
woman's scream and
the loud cry of "Man
overboard."
"Why hadn't they grabbed off one of those birds who could
make a tree grow fifty feet high in three minutes? That's what
I asked Hohensight. 'Easy,' he says, 'No one can get them to
leave their native clime, and they won't perform except when
they want to.' Seems that they are religious fanatics or some-
thing and won't leave off praying and preaching.
"They're beggars, too, according to Hohensight, beg their food.
That's what landed me. Show me the man who's begging his
bread and I know he'll do anything for real money !
"Well, I had the money and I had the time. It was rotten
picking among the midgets and bearded ladies, too ; nothing worth
charging two bits to see. So I took Hohensight last year to
India. Just the two of us ; him to show me the ropes and keep
me company, me to grab off the best A-l, hair-raising presto-
chango fakir in the whole brown country."
Sullivane found a match this time ; its flare accentuated the
unhealthiness of his raw, fat face, his cunning eyes.
"Hohensight and I crossed, a year ago now. The crazy fool
was wild to get back to that country. Me, it didn't agree with
me from the first, but I stuck it out. I wanted a fakir and I
wanted one bad. We hung around Calcutta for a month, and
I saw one or two stunts that would lift the hats right off your
heads. But Hohensight kept telling me to lay off.
" Wait until we find a Rishi !' he said one day when I wanted
to sign up a fakir who made a bucket of water dwindle to the
size of a pea and grow big again. 'That bird's just an ordinary
Pundit!' He went on to tell me that there were three brands
of beggars, castes, he called them. But say, those common or
garden variety of Pundits were no slouches. No, siree ! I saw
with my own eyes one of them put a cocoanut out in the air
and leave it there, five feet from the ground. I tried to lift a
half-pound stone one of them pointed at and I couldn't budge
it until he broke the spell and I almost fell over backward with
the thing in my hands.
" 'Hohen,' I says, 'that's the bird I want. Let's get an inter-
preter and talk turkey to him!' But Hohensight wouldn't listen.
'Wait until you see a real stunt!' he kept saying. I waited.
UTT7E STUCK around Calcutta for a month, as I said. More
W of the street fakirs as we got used to their native haunts.
Then I go sick. It wasn't the fault of the town. Say, the
English" — Sullivane looked at Pelham — "the English sure have
made a real town out of that place. Wonderful ; safer than
Chicago any time." He smiled ingratiatingly at Pelham, but
the Englishman averted his face and studied a ring on his finger.
"Well, I was sick, I was telling you." The man's health seemed
oddly important to his auditors. The vessel shook and surged,
and men's bodies strained to meet the changes just as their minds
strained to meet Sullivane's words.
"Sicker'n a dog for three weeks or six weeks. I don't know ;
every day was alike. You know how it is in the brown and
yellow lands, not trusting anyone. But Hohensight was good
to me ; I'll give him credit. The poor devil is dead nowr. Not
a big brain, you understand ; couldn't keep up with me a-tall.
But faithful.
"Soon as I was on my feet Hohensight talked me into going
inland. I was all for grabbing off the first fakir we saw, under-
stand, and getting for home, Bruno. Hohensight kept holding
me off, promising something better. Believe me, I saw something
better. I saw black magic. At Mirzapur I first glimpsed the
mango tree stunt. Say ! How many of you ever saw that ?
Huh?"
He glanced around the circle; none of the men met his eye.
"This was a Yoghi, this bird that did it. At least that's what
Hohensight called him. Brown face, black whiskers, and a look
of I-am-close-to-a-thousand-gods in his eye. . . . Say, let's
have a drink ! Boy !
"In the public square this old Hindu dug a hole with a stick,
say six inches deep. Into it he dropped a mango. About as big
as our pear, you know. He pushed the dirt back into the hole
and I stood watching it, not twenty yards away. Not a thing
showed out of the ground, and I was just starting to kid Hohen-
sight about his fakir when I looked up. Men, honest-to-Buddha,
there was a full-sized mango tree above the spot that mango
was buried; fifty feet high it was, in full foliage, mangoes and
all. It was blurred-like at first, and I rubbed my eyes. Then it
got more natural ; it was just as lifelike as any tree I ever saw,
and say" — Sullivane's voice dropped to a husky whisper — "I
can' hardly tell you, but ... I went over and climbed that
tree ! Before all the gods of India, I did ! Something made me
do it. Swung up in the branches and the brown man's eyes
smiling right through me and never seeing me. . . . Say, boy,
I'll have a drink. Who'll join me?"
No one accepted the invitation. Sullivane made a gulpy noise
over the half -tumbler of whisky; wiped his protruding lips on
the hairy blanket of his hand's back. "I climbed that tree!" he
said as he sank back into his chair.
iiT CLIMBED into the branches and came down and walked
-I away and turned, and the tree was still there. I stood and
watched it, feeling like either a fool or an angel. . . . Guess
there's not much difference, huh? . . . That Yoghi stopped
looking so meet-me-in-paradise-like and then the tree began to
dissolve. It went out, that's "what it did, like a tree goes out
in a mist cloud. I've seen that, too, in the old country, where
the fog comes thick — trees going out in the mist — and that's what
that big mango tree did. . . . Boy, fill it up ! I call that
a he-man's drink. Four fingers, and I need it after all I went
through on that sun-baked pavement of hell!"
Pelham muttered something to young Van Vleet. Both shook
themselves, both looked toward the door as though intending to
leave. Neither left.
"After I shook off the creeps I tried to talk to that Yoghi,
but he raised his eyes and looked right through me . . . awful ;
then he spread a cocoanut mat on the ground and made a sign
for the natives to gather near. I was afraid of him ; honest, I
was. I'm no coward, either, I'll tell you. . . . Well, I backed
away and waited until the come-on spiel was over and then I
followed that brown magician to sign him up. He ditched me,
clean.
"I got sick again. Rotten whisky over there. . . . Then
we went to Agra. One devil of a trip, I'll say. But it was
worth it. I got my Yoghi. I got him aboard this ship. He's
locked in my stateroom now — if he hasn't made himself into a
cloud of smoke and seeped out the cracks. Wait till we hit
Broadway !
"They tell me the most beautiful building in the world is at
Agra. I never saw that. Anyway, it was just built by some old
rounder, some shah, for his favorite lady. Lot of good it must
have done her, too, because it took more than twenty year? to
build, with twenty thousand of the brown huskies working on
it. . . . That's efficiency for you. . . . Well, I didn't see
it anyway, I saw the muddy old river there, though, and it gave
me the willies. Like a dead man's eyes, you know.
<£T>UT the best thing I saw in Agra was this world-beater
-D I captured. He was working the public square with two
or three hundred people watching him ; he was talking a brown
streak. At last he took a rope about fifteen feet long and an
inch thick in his hand, hung on to one end of it and threw the
other up into the air. Men, that rope never came down ! It
stuck there ! Listen ! That Yoghi let go with both hands and
that rope stuck there as stiff as the center-pole of a tent. Then
that Yoghi took hold of the rope with both hands and— Here,
boy, let's have another snifter. . . . He climbed that rope,
that blamed hanging, stiff rope. Climbed it up and up, and the
higher he climbed the shorter the rope was under him and the
longer it was over his head. Honest to Gawd, men, that brown
devil climbed up out of sight ! I watched him until my eyes
ached in the glare of that blinding sky; when I looked again
he was gone. . . .
"It's the truth, men. I'm not in my liquor. It's the truth.
And I've got the man that did it. He's locked in my stateroom.
I told you so. And he is. He's locked in my stateroom this
minute unless he's made himself into a cloud of smoke and
slipped out . . •. Who'll drink with me? . . . Yes, I got
him. Say, the next day I found him. He was squatting on a
rug in the same square, talking ah's, qo's, ee's to a mob of the
brown devils. 'Hohen,' I says — Hohensight was with me then,
you know — 'Hohen, there's a thousand in it for him.' To myselt
I added, 'there's five million in it for you, Sullivane, old man.'
Understand? Five million. . . . What about a drink around?
"Well, we talked through a dozen interpreters to that black
magic bird; he looked us over and looked us through and looked
into our hides and saw all of our ancestors. Then he picked up
his little bag and pulled his rags around him and walked away.
Walked fast, understand, with us and our bunch of interpreters
trailing him.
" 'Tell him,' I says to an Englishman who was willing to
bargain with any devil for the price of some whisky and quinine,
there's lots of Englishmen like that in India" — Sullivane leered
a little at Pelham — "In India and elsewhere as for that — 'Tell
him,' I says to this rat of an Englishman, 'we'll pay him more
money than he ever saw ; tell him we'll buy him five wives, ten
suits of clothes and all the food between here and Bombay.
Tell him anything, but get him to come along.' But that brown
devil of a Rishi, or was he a Yoghi? I forget now, and Hohen-
sight, he isn't here to tell me, poor devil. He's dead, understand
. . . . One more little snifter. Oh, come now. . . . Well,
that fellow down in my stateroom, that brown magician, he
wouldn't come with us. He walked away and dodged and — Well,
as I said, there's Englishmen who would sell out their mothers
for a drink — " Again Sullivane leered at Pelham, who was gnaw-
ing at his little blond mustache, his face white and hard. He
made no move, however ; probably thought Sullivane was too far
ui his liquor.
<tpT, HIS Englishman said he'd fix it for us for five hundred
-L dollars. Shall I tell you how he did it? The opium, the
wooden box, the bribes of native officers and all? Sure, I'll tell
you. . . . No, I won't. Sometime I might want to get me
another magician out of that damned country and I'll not tell you
how. ... It cost me better than two thousand dollars, not
counting the five hundred I was to pay the Englishman. I got
him tight for ten dollars and slipped away. Good business, you
see. Well, it cost me two thousand dollars for this chest with
the brown man in it delivered aboard boat. Hohensight was
killed, too, by some of the brown devils. But, then, I didn't need
him any more. Still, I missed him; he kept me bucked up when
I got the creeps. . . . Fill her up again, boy."
Sullivane half -closed his eyes — gloated as the liquor poured
into his glass. Suddenly he jerked up, wagged his head belliger-
ently. "Well, why don't you say something, you stiffs?" His
little eyes focused with difficulty on Pelham. "You, you lion's
tail-twister, why don't you congratulate me on pulling off a stunt
like that? Huh? . . . Say something! I've got better than
any gold mine that ever existed down in my stateroom. . . .
Ho, that's it, is it? Don't believe me, huh? Think I'm lying
to you. Think I'm drunk !
"Damn your doubting hearts, I'll show you ! You just wait
a minute and I'll show you ! I'll get him up here if I have
to kick him all the way. . . . The brown devil, he won't
perform for me now, but I'll make him tonight or I'll cave in
his head. . . . You wait, I'll get him." Sullivane's eyes
bleared around the little circle in the smoking room ; he slid
toward the door, admirably sure-footed in the pounding and surge
which shook the vessel and bodies, and breaths, too.
SOMEONE sighed when the door closed behind the man, an
ashamed sigh of mixed aversion and release. Van Vleet's
hands clutched his knees ; he addressed Pelham in a low voice.
"Make of it?" repeated the Englishman. "Well, your country-
man is feeling his liquor. ... Of course, all he says about
the fakirs is true, fairly so. They do what he says they do.
They've done it for generations — centuries, I fancy. Marco Polo
saw the very tricks this — this blighter you know — talks about.
Since then many of us have seen them. . . . Yes, I have.
"Explain it? Well, explain mesmerism of suggestion, or what-
ever you call it, and I'll explain these tricks. Here's the way it
seems to me." The four men in the room leaned toward him,
and he turned slightly to address them all. "If's like this : We
Western peoples have spent hundreds of years on material thinars ;
we've studied them, bent all our energies on them — our most intense
thoughts. And see what we have as the result ! Marvels ! Auto-
mobile, inventions, comforts, sciences. The wireless, the typhoid
vaccine, pneumatic hoists, bath rooms, a million things the Oriental
mind never conceived. Grasp the idea?
"We've made material progress, wonderful material progress.
And all the time we've been concentrating on these things the
Hindu has been sitting in the sun concentrating on himself, on
his mind, on minds everywhere. He was doing that long before
our civilization existed, and he's been doing it ever since. Is it
'any wonder he has made advances in the field of mental influence
far beyond us? Think it over.
"All the advance he has made in his field doesn't compare with
what we have made in ours. That's the answer as I see it. See
what marvels the Greeks did in plastic art for similar reasons !
Concentration ; each step in advance handed from father to son,
and perhaps once in a thousand years another step. That's the way
it goes, you know ; the fakirs — there really aren't many of them —
do exactly the same tricks their fathers. . . ."
THE door opened and a Hindu entered. Sullivane followed
close behind — a figure threatening, triumphant, determined.
Yet the fakir seemed willing enough for all that, he huddled his
rags tightly around his skinniness and blinked owlishly at the
light.
He was an old man, surely, but black-bearded; his eyes, too,
were black, his skin the color of wet chamois, his arms and shins
bony, with gray patches showing against the brown. Involuntar-
ily the circle in the smoking room closed in until each man was
touching his neighbor. They knew what Sullivane meant when
he described the man as "near to a thousand gods."
Sullivane spat on the floor, then fixed his eyes on Pelham,
saying with them as distinctly as in words, "See, you cocky English-
man, I'm pretty good, after all." But he didn't speak, nor did
any of the others. A few seconds later Sullivane pulled a rope
from behind his back and held it toward the Hindu. The fakir
took it passively enough in his claws. Sullivane scowled, then
suddenly began a series of antics, all solemn, which were to indi-
cate to the Hindu that he was to throw the rope into the air
and climb it ; as a final gesture he advanced threateningly with his
lists raised.
The Hindu understood clearly enough ; he couldn't have helped
it : but for a moment he seemed determined not to understand.
Then, like a flash from a lighthouse over rocky shores, his eyes
gleamed under his shaggy brows a second and dulled again. He
motioned to the ceiling; obviously he meant it was too low. He
motioned to the door and up toward the deck. He turned and
led the way.
VAN VLEET slipped away in the passage to invite his bride
to witness the promised magic. Four men, Sullivane and the
Hindu clustered under the masthead light on the upper forward
deck. No others were there; the passengers, jaded and enervated,
had retired. The planks were still sweating, although it was
almost midnight. From off shore, across the Bay of Bengal,
came the wind of India, insistent, penetrating, as from the open
door of a furnace. Except for the sheen of the deck, the black-
ness was that of smoke, dense, impenetrable ; it divided ahead of
the boat, on the boat, and closed again behind it.
Close to the rail, with the outer edge of light shining strongly
on him, the Hindu squatted. Ten yards away, closely huddled
around the mast, stood Pelham and his three companions; Sulli-
vane was midway between his prize and his audience.
The Hindu stood in silence for a moment, his eyes fixed on
Sullivane and the group behind him. He began to intone. Pel-
ham, low-voiced, translated the words : "Ago, ago, far ago, when
Brahmadatta was Benares' king, the Bodhisatta, a white crane,
was born, close beside a lake in the Neilgherry Mountains whose
waters never allow the lotus to fade ; where things change not
and the air is pure as breath of blossoms." The voice from the
rail sank lower and lower; it ceased, then intoned words which
Pelham did not repeat, could not. Again there was silence.
A brown hand gleamed in the light. Sullivane took a half
step forward. "See!" he cried, "The rope is up, straight up!
See ! What did I tell you ! Like the centerpole of — " He stopped
abruptly ; the Hindu was gazing at him with eyes which shone
like a cat's against the blackness behind him.
"There he goes," muttered Pelham. "Sullivane himself
High up!"
49
See!
ABROAD back, the sporty checkered suit of Sullivane, above
the deck — this the little group huddled near the mast saw ;
five feet above the deck, ten feet; the unhealthy rolls of fat at
the base of the man's skull, the big head thrown back, looking
up; fifteen feet above the deck, now up to the last fringe of
rays from the masthead light, and still up, up into the black-
ness. He was gone. The wind from India blew out of the
blackness, heavily laden with heat and salt-flavored perfume. The
blackness parted ahead of the vessel, closed over it from above,
closed in behind it. The Hindu, huddled against the rails, peered
into the darkness, intoning soft words.
"Ah!"
A tenth second of silence on the forward deck, then a woman's
scream and running steps. Van Vleet rushed into the group.
"Hi ! Hi !" His cry was challenging, breath-taking. "Man over-
board ! Sullivane! He threw himself over the side just as we
came up the stairs!" He rushed to the rail; Pelham, smiling
grimly, still a little dazed, followed him and watched the white
doughnut of a life perserver, sail out into the blackness over the
port side. Bells rang; the boat shook itself as its engines reversed.
The wail, "Man overboard !" was cried and echoed and repeated
and echoed again.
Van Vleet turned on Pelham. "What was the matter?" He
bit off his words. "Couldn't you see what he was going to do?
I could tell the minute I saw him ! What was the matter with
you?"
PELHAM shook his head. "I saw the rope straight up in
the air. I saw Sullivane climb it; I saw the rope there, still
stiff. Then you cried out, and when I turned back I saw nothing
of Sullivane. ... So he threw himself overboard, did he?
. . . . You understand, don't you, now? Thought he was
climbing, I fancy, too. . . . That man — " Pelham pointed
to the Hindu, whose eyes still gleamed strangely, then stood for
a moment silently listening. "Ho, he's telling of Buddha and
how he chose to be reincarnated in the flesh of man to undergo
earthly suffering. . . . Odd, isn't it? Now, do you suppose
anyone could call him a murderer for what he did to Sulli-
vane? Rum question to decide. . . ."
The Empress of the Orient was turning now almost as though
on an axis, her screws racing in reverse. Davits were creaking,
small boats being lowered into the water. There was confusion,
yet the forward deck remained deserted except for the group of
men from the smoking room and the bride, whose face was
strained and white, and who clutched at Van Vleet's arm.
"Agh!" It was a gasp from the, woman; all turned. Again
they saw straight up in the air the rope ; they saw the Hindu
climbing it, smiling down on them with eyes far above them
in height and understanding. He climbed up and up; up above
the light from the masthead, up into the blackness.
The second officer came running down the deck. His questions
were checked by Pelham. "Did you, by chance, happen to see a
Hindu throw himself into the water?" Pelham asked quietly.
"You know, we all. saw him climb up toward the stars."
'ON, "Doughboy of the Air
The War Will Never End for this Veteran While Disabled Buddies Need His Help
??
By E. E. MATTSON
WHEN April, 1917, rolled around and the echoes of
war_ rumbled into the American home, Tommy
Creighton was one of the several millions who
heeded the call to arms. Of course, that
was long before Radio was known.
"Wireless" was the word then, but
"Radio" was coined after the war had
ended. However, that has nothing to do
with this particular story.
Tommy, who later in years became
known as the "Doughboy of the Air,"
marched away with his several million
buddies, all a'smiling and singing the
then popular airs "Over There," "The
Yanks Are Coming," and others, and
after two years of pounding at the enemy
found himself, or what was left of him,
quite happy that armistice had been
declared.
November 11, 1918, was more than simply another day to
Tommy. It was Armistice Day and a new sun was shining
then. Tommy was a hospital case, pretty badly damaged,
but it did not stop him from looking ahead. A few years
trickled by. Radio stepped into action, a^d w:th it Tommv
Tommy Creighton
found a new occupation. "Why. I'm not done yet," thought
he. The '"Doughboy of the Air" was born. His became the
duty to tell Radio fans about the war and how it had brought
ill-fortune to many of his buddies. Thousands of them are
still in hospitals and will never come out in good health.
Tommy has probably done more than any one individual to
bring cheer and aid to the needy soldiers of the World War.
When KYW became the first station in Chicago, he
visited the offices of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
facturing company and induced the managers of KYW to let
him do his stuff on the air. The "Doughboy of the Air"
became a fact. The late Charles E. Erbstein assisted Tommy
materially in putting over this good work. Large sums of
money were gathered, bales of clothing, quantities of cigar-
ettes and tobaccos were sent into the station for distribution
by the "Doughboy of the Air." Tommy's work has won
for him the admiration of thousands of crippled soldiers
as well as others who had better luck, and all because of the
wonderful cause he is championing.
Tommy Creighton left Chicago not long ago to feature
in a movietone by Paramount, depicting the world war and
its ravages. We know Radio fans everywhere will enjoy
seeing Tommy in action. Countless numbers of listeners
would like to see Tommy in war paint.

NOT so very long ago a smart young country boy found him-
self face to face with the problem of a career. He wanted
to be a great farmer' and he wanted to be a great mer-
chant. He looked over the fertile acres of his piece of
land in southwestern Iowa and determined to be both.
Along with an active mind and a courageous heart he had an
easy, confidential manner in the use of his tongue. To hear him
talk was to be impressed with his sincerity and earnest good will.
With all these assets he set about raising a superior crop of every-
thing— better corn, better wheat, better clover, better beans. He had
studied it all out. The neighbors all noticed that his fields were
quite above the average.
After the harvest he did not go to the regular markets. He sold
his grains to his neighbors at a premium price. That was the
begining of the Henry Field Seed company of Shenandoah,
Iowa, thirty-five years ago. A great farmer and a great merchant
— he saw his career taking shape before him. Soon he had a crew
of salesmen carrying the Henry Field seeds into broader territories.
Prior to February, 1924, when Henry Field depended on the
agricultural papers for the promotion of his business, he did a
volume of $600,000 a year. In February he launched KFNF and
then he came through with his real merchandising ability. He knew
what the farmers wanted and gave it to them with a full measure.
The gift of gab that had been a part of his intellect and courageous
heart carried him directly to the farmer's hearthstone with a
language that was his own. Henry Field himself was and con-
tinues to be the soul of KFNF, although there are plenty of com-
petent entertainers as the pictures on this page will testify. Within
a short time the Radio developed the Henry Field Seed company
from a $600,000 annual income to $2,500,000 annual income.
He stirred up a hornet's nest with his direct selling methods and
all sorts of pressure was brought to bear to squelch him. But the
farmers rushed to his aid. "Besides, what real harm is there in
naming the price of a thing that is for sale?" argued Henry. "The
selling is the story and the price is the climax. It's the answer to
the inevitable question in the mind of the listener, 'Well, how much
is it?'"
The boy who started out to be a great farmer and a great
merchant has made his goal. In fact he has gone a step farther
and kicked the old leather right between the posts by being a
variety entertainer. What Henry Field started three years ago
the effete East is just beginning.

Radio's Land of Make Believe
171 'VERY evening Jolly Bill and Jane thrill mil-
Jjj lions with their adventures in the shadowy
kingdom of make believe that childhood loves and
grown-ups adore — over the N. B. C. system.
By William H. Gregory
A COUPLE of years ago the cynics of the Newspaper
Club in New York began to realize that a really great
personality, an apostle of good cheer and happiness
had entered their ranks. The new member possessed
a unique faculty for getting the most joy out of life, for he
gazed on life's panorama through the eyes of childhood.
The newcomer, who was quickly recognized as a genius
in the rendezvous of the writing craft in New York, was
none other than William Steinke, cartoonist and humorist,
known to the Radio world as "Jolly Bill." Today "Bill"
Steinke, everyone calls him "Bill," is one of the most sought
after entertainers in the metropolitan area. His fame is coun-
try-wide, his friends are legionary, and if he accepted even
a small percentage of the invitations that pour in to him, he
would never see his family.
When the writer was asked by the editor of Radio Digest
to send along a story on "Jolly Bill," it seemed like a most
pleasant assignment. Here was a great character with mil-
lions of admirers throughout the country, a man who has
etched his name high on the role of Radio achievement through
his originality and sparkling wit, and beloved by fans of all
ages. However, the task of adequately conveying to the
reader a true pen picture of this man of so many accomplish-
ments evolved into an undertaking more complicated than the
writer anticipated, especially after interviewing Jolly Bill him-
self on the subject.
IT SEEMS fairly well established that Bill was born at
Scranton, Pa. He explains this by saying that as his
family was Pennsylvania Dutch he thought it would be a
nice gesture when coming into the world if he were born
in that state. When five years old he started out on his
first expedition against the Indians. Although fully equipped
with a broken air rifle and accompanied by two warriors of
his own age and a faithful dog, this venture was not successful.
An Irish policeman named Flanagan, who seemed friendly,
with the Indians, escorted the expedition to the Steinke home,
where Bill was persuaded to abandon hostilities. However,
the part played by Mr. Flanagan in this affair was not for-
gotten by Bill.
A few year's later, while Bill was endeavoring to materially
increase nervous prostration among school teachers, it hap-
pened that Flanagan was assigned to the post at the school
where the Steinke family hoped Bill was acquiring an edu-
cation. By this time Bill had gained some fame among the
kids by his ability to draw funny pictures. He drew cari-
catures of Flanagan in ridiculous poses with chalk on the
sidewalk outside the school and, so there might be no mis-
take, he labeled the pictures with the officer's name. Flanagan,
when he first saw the pictures, was amused. Then when the
children came to look on him as something of a joke, and
began to toss raspberry sprigs at him when he was patroling
his beat, his sense of humor turned sour. He could never get
near enough to Bill to take up the subject of curbing his art,
so he took the matter up with Mrs. Steinke, who promised
action. Flanagan predicted that if the "young scamp" kept
on he would be "one of those good for nothin' artists some
day." Mrs. Steinke had a secret fear this might happen, her-
self, but never mentioned it.
BILL now says he just naturally became a cartoonist. After
doing some work for the local papers, he decided he would
look around the country a bit. So, with a stub of a pencil
behind his right ear and his coat pocket bulging with sam-
ples of his work, he arrived in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He
looked the town over, made a quick study of its newspapers
and decided he would go to work on the Standard-American.
Bill acted quickly. He walked right into the office of the
editor and with characteristic directness explained his mis-
sion. "Sir," he said, "I am a cartoonist, and a corking good
one, at that. I like your paper, I like Bridgeport, I can help
improve and brighten your paper and I think you ought to
hire me immediately."
A young man with such confidence in himself that he thus
addresses an editor generally gets a chance to prove his
•-ialrmcnts. Bill landed the job and started out to prove
"i"VOOH — just listen to that clatter of hoof-beats.
V-/ It must be those wonderful horses, Harry,
Dobbin and Prince coming to take us for a trip to
the Land of the Pixies," and little Jane thrills with
Jolly Bill in anticipation of the adventure as millions
listen over the NBC broadcast.
how good he was. His popularity in the Connecticut city
was quickly established. His sincere, hearty greeting gained
him the familiar cognomen of Jolly Bill. This name has
followed him ever since.
After making good on the Standard- American, Bill was
induced to join the staff of the Bridgeport Post and became
one of the daily features of that paper. At children's parties
and banquets he completed series of lightning sketches that
appeared in the following day's issue of his paper. It was
at the kiddies' parties that Jolly Bill was at his best. If
the affair was dull or dragging when Bill appeared with his
infectious laugh and inexhaustable fund of funny stories,
he turned the party into a riot. Then he originated a column
called "15 Minutes at Main and Fairfield," the intersection
of the two main streets of Bridgeport. Here with his pad
and pencil he would make sketches of passersby. Then he
would rush up to them and start his interrogation regarding
their identity, residence and occupation. Almost before the
startled pedestrian realized what it was all about he had
given the smiling cartoonist the required information, and
Bill was off at work on his next subject.
BILL was attracted to Newark by an offer to join the
staff of the Newark Ledger, where he specialized in
sketching the town's folk. While engaged in this capacity,
Bill made his Radio debut from WOR. He gave. a kiddie
talk in which he explained how to draw funny pictures. Dur-
ing these broadcasts his .famous, infectious, hearty laugh,
now known to millions, was introduced to the Radio audience.
The novelty of broadcasting soon wore off and restless
Jolly Bill signed up with a syndicate to make political cartoons
and sketches of the celebrities at Washington. While in
Washington, Bill first met President Coolidge. He sketched
the President in his characteristic style and showed the chief
executive the picture. Then for the first time the other-
wise tight smile of the President turned into an outburst
of hilarious laughter. This gained for Bill the reputation
of being the only newspaper man who ever made Coolidge
laugh.
Bill enjoyed himself in Washington, as he does everywhere,
but New York was his goal. While the papers throughout
the country were still featuring his unique sketches, he
walked into the headquarters of the National Broadcasting
Company and told the program director that he had a kiddie
feature in mind that he was certain would prove a sure fire
hit. As Bill outlined his idea he pranced about the office,
barked like a dog, imitated other domestic and wild animals,
and laughed. While impressed by the extraordinary features
of Bill's proposed diversion, it was that hearty, rollicking,
infectious laugh that prompted the director to give the fea-
ture a trial.
The tryout was held over WEAF. The response was
instantaneous. A mighty flood of enthusiastic letters of
approval arrived attesting to the popularity of "Jolly Bill and
Jane," which is now one of the sustaining features of WEAF.
Although it was originally conceived as a kiddie feature,
thousands of grown-ups are lured nightly to_ dial WEAP
so that they may hear Jolly Bill's laugh and enjoy the smart
comments and questions of little Jane.
53
JOLLY BILL Steinke is that rare specimen of
humanity, a genuine apostle of good cheer.
The secret of his success in getting all the joy out
of life is his faculty for seeing the world through
the eyes of childhood.
AND THE little
mouse took the
J " great big elephant for
a long, long ride in his
%Bfl^Hl wheelbarrow," relates
Jolly Bill, and Jane's
rippling giggle drives
the blues away from
the hearts of young
and old.
Bill's original idea was built around the theory that every
little tot should have an Uncle Bill or Uncle Jack, the kind
of uncle who would play and romp with them, who pos-
sessed great wisdom to answer all their questions and who
could tell them the kind of fantastic tales childhood loves. He
knew that many little boys and girls out in the far-spread
Radio audience were being robbed of an opportunity to
be swung upon the broad shoulder of such an uncle for
magic trips through fairyland. He decided to "uncle" every
mother's child in his audience.
The difficulty of being an uncle without at least one niece
or nephew quickly became apparent so Jolly Bill decided
to adopt a "Jane." All the children in the Children's Hour pro-
gram competed for the distinction. The winner was an
attractive little girl of nine, who became Jane. Since then
she has become so Jan-ish, that if you ask her, she couldn't
possibly remember being called by any other name.
Every day since, except Sunday, at 5:30 o'clock the clear
mellow notes of the chimes from WEAF herald the start
of the daily adventures of Jolly Bill and Jane and many of
their little friends in Make-Believe-Land. They are brought
to this land of sunshine and joy on the Magic Aeroplane
or the Flying Beetle or the Band Wagon. Sometimes those
wonderful horses, Harry, Dobbin and Prince, who make so
much noise as they gallop off with twenty nieces and nephews
on each back, are pressed into service. Then at times Jerry,
Jolly Bill's favorite and faithful dog, induces Chief Great
Dane of the Dogtown Fire Department to invite the chil-
dren from millions of American homes to join in a big
blowout at the Fire House.
"DILL writes his unique feature daily. Sometimes it is in
-L' skeletonized form, leaving space and time for those spon-
taneous inspirations and informal comments and observations
which enrich the presentation so much. Then Jane may be
pondering over some problem which may require solution
while the broadcast is on. She may inquire, "How many
generations are there, Uncle Bill?" or, "Uncle Bill, are there
more nines than fours?" Of course, an uncle of Bill's great
wisdom must be able to answer such simple inquiries instantly,
although they are not in the script of the program.
To see Bill in action before the mike gives one a graphic
idea of what is meant by perpetual motion. From the moment
he goes on the air he is in action. He lives his part. N<>
child listening in gets a greater thrill out of the hour than
Bill. He goes through the motions of helping his little
nieces and nephews aboard the Magic Aeroplane, he arranges
them in imaginary seats as he keeps up a constant chatter.
Then when he yells "contact" and the motor speeds up a>
he gives the magic ship the gun, this super-Lindbergh grasps
the joy stick of his ship of fancy in joyful anticipation of
the adventures ahead.
And as the flight toward Make-Believe-Land progresses.
Jolly Bill's animated conversation and humorous description
so peculiarly characteristic bring out Jane's rippling giggle,
and that giggle has enshrined her in the hearts of countless
thousands as the ideal American niece. Her famous giggle
is real. It has a sincere, joyous, natural ring to it that can
only be produced by a happy child genuinely concerned. Jane
thoroughly enjoys Uncle Bill's antics and yarns and has
the childish imagination to live and see the scenes he pic-
tures to the Radio listeners.
At times, when Jane's home-work is worrying her, you
know how hard the lessons are in the 5B, she does not feel
precisely like sending her famous giggle over the air. This
worried LTncle Bill until he discovered she was very ticklish.
There were no more "blue" days for Jane after that.

WHEN Grant took over command of the Union armies
during the Civil War, they began to win battles con-
sistently.
When Freeman Talbot took leadership of the Arca-
dians, the newest mixed quartet at KOA in Denver, they began
to win a greater and greater audience until now they are one of
the most popular groups on the air.
Which is another way of saying that the Arcadians, unlike
most quartets, completely submerged their individualities in
that of their director, who decided exactly how every attack,
every nuance, all phrasing should be done.
It always has been Talbot's conviction that Radio quartets
should produce better music than those on the stage. A director
cannot appear on a stage without detracting interest from the
quartet, but in all propriety he can be present in front of the
microphone and lead his singers in uniform interpretations.
Talbot wants it clearly understood, he said when asked about
his part in the success of the Arcadians, that the full command
he exercises is no reflection on the singers. Each of them is a
trained professional soloist of long experience, and in all prob-
ability, he says, could create just as good interpretations as he
can. But four different interpretations of the same song at the
same time would no more win audiences than four different
ideas of fighting a war would be successful if tried at the same
time.
While the Arcadians as a quartet form a comparatively new
group, the individuals have had close professional contact for
many years. Most of them have been singing for KOA since
the station opened in 1924. They were picked for this new
organization because of their excellent .musicianship, their
willingness to co-operate and, perhaps most important of all,
because of the perfect way in which their voices blend.
Talbot brings to the Arcadians a ■ score of years of training
and experience not only in singing and playing/ but also in
directing.

John B. Daniel
STRICKEN on the eve of his wedding to Miss Bertha
Cable, John Bennetts Daniel died at 2 o'clock Monday
morning, August 19, of peritonitis, following an oper-
ation for appendicitis. Thousands of friends and asso-
ciates of the noted announcer gathered at the Campbell
Funeral church to pay their last respects at the services held
Wednesday, August 21. Floral tributes were
.^^■l^^ received from all parts of the country.
(^^^^^ While at work in the NBC New York
M studio Saturday evening Mr. Daniel was
»»*&SiW* stricken with a high fever and taken home.
KF A few hours later he was rushed to St. Eliz-
abeth's hospital, where an operation for ap-
pendicitis was performed. He was to have
been married on Tuesday to Miss Cable, of
Washington, D. C, the daughter of a retired
.Navy office"r.
Luminaries from the Metropolitan Radio stations served
as honorary pallbearers, including Graham McNamee, Ed-
ward Thorgersen, William S. Lynch, Curt Peterson, Marley
Sherris and John S. Young from NBC, Edward B. Husing
and Frank Knight of CBS, Walter Neff and Floyd Neal of
WOR, and Thomas A. Cowan of WNYC. The Rev. Dr.
Charles Goodell, of the Federal Council of Churches, read
the funeral services, and the music was furnished by a
quartet of Radio stars made up of Henry Shope, Harold
Branch, Darl Bethman and Emil Cote, under the direction
of Keith McCleod, musical supervisor of NBC. Burial was
in Rosedale cemetery, Orange, New Jersey. Among, the
prominent people at the services were: M. H. Aylesworth,
George F. McClelland and George Engles.
Recognized as one of the most popular and -best known
announcers in this country, Daniel's voice was heard in
many famous broadcasts. He introduced President Coolidge
to the Radio audience over twenty times, and also was at
the microphone for President Hoover on a number of
occasions. Among the other programs on which Mr. Daniel
was prominent are included the Lindbergh reception, the
arrival of the Bremen Flyers, introduction of the President
of the Irish Free State, both arrivals of the Graf Zeppelin,
and the Coolidge and Hoover inaugurals.
Daniel was widely and favorably known for his work in
putting Chicago grand opera on the air last winter,, travel-
ing back and forth between New York and Chicago every
week. He was also prominent in civic and social life, par-
ticularly in Washington, numbering among his friends
scores of internationally famous personages.
John B. Daniel was born in London, England, the son of
Tom Daniel, noted English basso. He first attended school
in Scotland, but his education was completed in the United
States. Named as music critic of a New Jersey paper before
he was eighteen, Daniel was heard in musical comedy and
vaudeville roles shortly thereafter, besides being active in
concert and church work. During the World War he spent
two years in the navy.
The announcer made his Radio debut in 1925 with WJZ,
later became attached to the WRC staff in Washington,
transferring back to the NBC headquarters about a year
ago. He is survived by his father and mother, and two
brothers, Victor and Ralph.
When on the night of his death the routine of broadcast-
ing was halted for- a short memorial service by fellow an-
nouncers Milton Cross said of him, "a beautiful and cultured
voice has been called by a more powerful one."
"Spend money for programs! Put WJR on the map! Never
mind" expense the first year!" These were some of the terse
orders Fitzpatrick got from his new boss and he went to work.
HIS first step was to send to Kansas City for his former
assistant at WDAF — John Patt. Patt had just received
his degree at the University of Kansas, where he was director
of the college broadcasting station. He came to Detroit with
all the enthusiasm and assurance of a youth of 23 years. He
had ideas and ideas are what make folks listen to a Radio
station.
And so the second year under this regime closed with much
accomplished. WJR occupies one of the choicest spots on the
dial — 750 kilocycles; 400 meters. You'll find it about the middle
of the dial and WjR has this channel clear and free from inter-
ference. It is Michigan's only clear wave.
The original studios of WJR were in the Book-Cadillac
hotel, and these are still maintained. The first of the year the
main studios were installed in Detroit's newest and finest
office building — the Fisher. In addition there are studios,
fully equipped, in the Michigan theater, at Pontiac, where the
transmitter is located, in Jean Goldkette's Graystone ballroom
and in Webb's organ school.
Remote controls pick up the orchestras from the dining
rooms at the Book-Cadillac, three cafes, three ballrooms and
half a dozen churches.
One after another has been added to the WJR staff until
now more than forty persons are regularly engaged in arrang-
ing, presenting or putting programs on the air. This number
does not, of course, include the entertainers. •
Until the first of the year WJR shared time with WCX,
The Detroit Free Press station, which was one of the Radio
pioneers, its first broadcast dating back to early in 1922. The
Free Press decided it had had enough of broadcasting and
vanished from the picture as the bells and whistles were
announcing the arrival of 1929.
NEAL TO MY, who opened WCX and had been its director
for seven years, merely threw that sign in the waste
basket and erected WjR over his desk. His "Skeezix Time"
had long been a favorite with the kiddies of the territory and it
has been continued under the WJR banner. The Red Apple
club, of which Tomy was "Chief," went out with WCX, but a
variety program at 10 o'clock each Wednesday night has some
of the earmarks of the older feature.
The latest addition to the regular staff is Norman White,
identified with broadcasting in Detroit from the time they
were yelling into a horn. For several years he conducted the
Luncheon Song Review. Some folks branded it "terrible,"
but the mail was the largest received by any feature of the
station. On special occasions it amounted to an avalanche.
All of which is further proof that the Radio audience is made
up of people of varied tastes. Everybody doesn't listen to the
Detroit Symphony orchestra.
Another announcer came from WAFD, a small Detroit
station, which folded up and disappeared last July. He was
Owen Uridge and he brought the list of announcers to seven,
the other two being John Eccles and John Harper, both of
whom graduated from the control room.
This large announcing staff enables the director to select
the right voice for each type of program. It also makes it
possible for the men to have a day off regularly and to enjoy
some of the joys of living that were denied Radio announcers
in an. earlier day when they were on duty most of the time.
WJR is on the air five days a week from 8:30 o'clock in the
morning until an hour after midnight. On special occasions
the time is extended. On Saturday the day's activities start
at noon, but it is expected that with the coming of the Fall
season the morning hours of Saturday, too, will be utilized.
WJR Four Years Old
(Continued from page 55)
hawks had made him famous, or rather he had made the
Xighthawks famous and with 5,000 watts instead of 500 it
seemed like "bigger and better" things ahead.
Then financial troubles came and the outlook lost some of
its rosy hue. The bankers took over the station and made
Fitzpatrick manager. It was up to him to do the seemingly
impossible. No Radio station ever had paid its own way and
apparently such a thing was a long way off.
But among the few commercial accounts was one sponsored
by the Richards-Oakland company, distributes of motor cars.
G. A. Richards, young and with modern ideas, visioned a
future in Radio, and it did not take a lot of persuasion on the
Now things look different. Fitzpatrick knew the Radio
game; Mr. Richards had confidence in him. There was also
■ . li enough to take the dread out of payday.
WJR IS the Detroit outlet for the "blue" network of the
National Broadcasting company, but also has a long list
of clients who present local programs. The oldest Detroit
sponsor is Casper J. Lingeman, a realtor, who has offered a
weekly program for almost four years. Each week Mr. Linge-
man gives a brief talk in which his own business is never
mentioned. He contents himself with a brief credit announce-
ment at the beginning and close of his program, devoting his
own time on the air to the discussion of problems of municipal
or national interest. In this he has set a fine example for
those sponsors who are insisting on more and more commer-
cialism in their programs. He has no intention of quitting, so
his system must be getting results.
With WJR the time seems at hand when the worry is not
to get business but rather to find time for those who seek its
audience. The lull during July and August was much less
pronounced this year than in former seasons and only gave
the members of the staff a chance to get their vacations and
prepare for the rush that is here as the air grows cooler and the
clays shorter.

KMOX Broadcasts
ENDURANCE
ENDURANCE contests it seems have become quite the
thing of late, what with a multitude of endurance refuel-
ing- flights, rocking chair marathons, locomotive record
runs, fortitudinous dancing derbies, long-distance gab-
fests, flagpole sitting settoes, gum-chewing contentions and
long periods of abstinence: but one of the most unusual endur-
ance runs was the one recently established by KMOX, "The
Voice of St. Louis," which operated continuously for 186^2
hours — nearly eight days — without a moment's interruption.
This remarkable operation was done not for glory,- but
merely as a public service to keep the world advised of the
progress of the record-breaking endurance flight of Dale "Red"
Jackson and Forest O'Brine, who, at Lambert-St. Louis flying
field, descended from the skies after 420 hours of riding the
clouds.
Radio must ever be of public service. The message of Radio
is carried on the air, which belongs to the public; so service to
the public must always be paramount in Radioland.
On July 13, Jackson and O'Brine ascended in the St. Louis
Robin, resolved to establish a new endurance record. They
circled the clouds above the flying field like a giant albatross
for ten days, public interest in the flight quickening as the boys
neared the previous record of 246 hours, 43 minutes, established
at Culver City, Calif., July 12, by Loren Mendell and Roland
Reinhart; and at 2 minutes past 3 p. m. on July 23 they had
passed the Mendell-Reinhart record. The interest of the public
shot to fever heat immediately. How long would they remain
up? What if an accident should occur and the air heroes would
be dashed to death? What are they saying in the notes they
drop? How is the motor functioning?
These and hundreds of other questions were asked and con-
jured up in the minds of an anxious public. But, thanks to
Radio, all the anxious need do was tune in on KMOX and have
the message of the flight's progress brought to them in their
homes.
For KMOX, the morning of July 23, when it appeared the
sky riders would break the previous record, planted its micro-
phone at the flying field, and settled down to remain to the last.
Every fifteen minutes or so/listeners on KMOX would be
transferred from the studio to the air field, where bulletin
announcements would be made, and then the air audience
would be transferred back to the studio for a continuation of
the entertainment programs.
Throughout the day and night until the evening of July 30,
when the flight ended, this continued. A brief announce-
ment at the air field and then more entertainment! Letters
received at KMOX indicate that many listeners stayed up all
night to follow, through "The Voice of St. Louis," the progress
of the intrepid flyers.
James H. Higgs, business manager of KMOX, was in charge
of activities at the field. Supported by a trio of announcers,
who worked in relays, it was up to Higgs to keep the pro-
grams, broadcast from the field, up to the minute, and thou-
sands of letters attest to the splendid job he did.
Woody Klose and Al Hurt of the KMOX staff of an-
nouncers, remained at the field day and night, as did Higgs,
sleeping quarters having been provided by executives of the

ous broadcasting.
air field, and George Junkin, director-announcer of KMOX,
ould take the mike from midnight until G a. m., while the
others caught a few hours' sleep.
SPEAKING of sleep, one of the humorous incidents which
occurred at the field was on the morning of July 30, when
the fliers dropped a message saying they were going to land.
Higgs and his co-workers jumped from their cots and, running
about the field in their pajamas, told the world that the historic
flight was about to end. Imagine their amazement several
minutes later when a second note advised the ground crew to
read the first note carefully. On a searching reading of the
note the word "sometime," written in almost indecipherable
script at the bottom of the paper was discovered, making the
complete message read, "We are going to land sometime." It
was not until 7:38:30 p. m. that evening that the fliers
descended.
Higgs, a former newspaperman, intent on making a "scoop,"
succeeded, with the aid of Joseph Mellon of Buffalo, publicity
director of the Curtiss Airplane Manufacturing company, in
getting an agreement, signed by Maj. William B. Robertson,
president of the Curtiss-Robertson Aircraft Corporation, giv-
ing KMOX the exclusive right to have Jackson and O'Brine
broadcast first over "The Voice of St. Louis" and the Columbia
Broadcasting system.
And of the thousands of letters received, KMOX prizes one
signed jointly by Jackson and O'Brine above all others. Date,
August 1, it follows:
Station KMOX,
The Voice of St. Louis, Inc.
Hotel Mayfair,
St. Louis, Mo.
Gentlemen:
We wish to take this opportunity of expressing our
appreciation to the Voice of St. Louis, Inc., for their
efforts in keeping the Radio public of the country in-
formed as to every detail of our flight.
We learned that KMOX had been on the air contin-
uously, night and day, from the time we broke the
World's Record until after' we landed and made our
first Radio broadcast, which was made from our suite
in the Coronado hotel over the Columbia Broadcasting
System.
During the hours after we had broken the World's
sustained endurance flight record, .and while KMOX
was establishing an endurance record for itself, we feel
sure that the Radio public appreciated your description
of our activities while in the air.
We wish to take this opportunity of extending our
heartfelt thanks to the thousands of listeners in to
KMOX for their telegrams and letters of encourage-
ment and congratulations.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Dale "Red" Jackson
Forest O'Brine, "Obie."

9£WKH Has Real Personality
°Q). K. HENDERSON Finds Secret of Getting and Holding
an Audience is Verbal Pyrotechnics
H
TELLO, WORLD— this is KWKH at Shreve-port,
Lou-ees-i-ana. Shreeve-port on the air, telling the
world. Don't go 'way."
There may be some few Radio listeners in these
United States who have not heard that famous call of W. K.
Henderson, whose southern drawl, "Hello, world," have made
him one of the most widely listened to announcers, in the
country. From the four corners of the nation come letters
and telegrams testifying to the popularity of this millionaire
broadcaster and his station. The letters run from 1,000 to
2,500 daily, telegrams from 100 to 200 nightly and long dis-
tance telephone calls average half a hundred on each program.
And what is the reason for this strong appeal KWKH
appears to have for Radio listeners? What is the life-blood
of this remarkable station which offers for the most part
phonograph records for entertainment? The answer to these
questions is in a name — a name and a man — W. K. Henderson.
Coupled with the name and the man is a powerful personality —
a colorful personality, and the fight he has led on the Federal
Radio commission for "recognition of the South, a fair and
equitable distribution as to Radio stations, wave lengths and
power throughout the United States and not for any certain
part of the country."
"But it's not my fight," Mr. Henderson says. "It's your
light, a fight for the listeners. Don't mistake that. I am only
doing what I can to assure listeners 'freedom of the air.' I
am spending my good money to protest against this condition."
KW'KH's owner has spent large sums of money and a great
deal of time in carrying on his crusade. His is a personality
and a character that is rare not only in the South, but in all
the world. Those who heard his verbal pyrotechnics in the
presidential campaign last spring, and the countless thousands
who have heard him "tellin' the world" have wondered "what
sort of a man is this fellow Henderson? Who is he and what
does he do?"
WK. HENDERSON is a genial host and a southern gen-
• tleman. He apparently enjoys having company and
knows how to entertain. Mrs. Henderson is a charming
woman, and thoroughly enjoyable. She and her husband lend
color to the background of southern hospitality embodied in
the large roomy southern colonial country home they occupy
at Kennonwood, 18 miles from Shreveport, Louisiana.
Kennonwood itself is a spacious country estate of some
o,700 acres upon which James G. Henderson built his cabin
and set up his saw mill when he came to Louisiana from
Alabama in 1865. He was William K. Henderson's grand-
father, who laid the foundations for the present family fortune.
The house, built on the spot where the ancestral cabin stood,
is a frame structure erected from native timber cut on the
place. It is used as a summer lodge rather than a permanent
residence, the family residing in town and journeying to the
country place for the almost nightly broadcasting. The house
is largely given over to accessories of the Radio station, with
three studios, telephone switchboard, telegraphic equipment
and an intricate system for signal communication between the
studios. On^every side are seen gifts, which come with almost
as much regularity as telegrams and letters. Admirers swamp
the Henderson family with books, phonograph records, pic-
tures, cigars, neckties,- oranges from Florida and apples from
the Pacific Northwest. Henderson's downtown office at the
\\ . K. Henderson Iron Works and Supply company, of which
he is president, is also a veritable museum of trophies and
souvenirs.
The iron works, specializing in the manufacture of oil field
and saw mill supplies, covers about three city blocks and
employs several hundred men. The present plant, with foun-
dries and workshops, grew out of a small machine shop founded
by William K. Henderson I, father of the present head of
the company, in 1896.
ST VHON KWKH had its beginning in 1923, when Hender-
son became a Radio fan on the broadcasting end and
bought a share in a small 250-watt station then being operated
in Shreveport. This station was WGAQ. He soon found,
however, that the station was making more enemies than
friends, due to its broadness on the dials. It didn't have
much to offer itself and, by reason of its location in the center
of town, was garbling the programs of other stations for
Shreveport listeners. Henderson solved the problem by pur-
chasing the shares of the other three owners. TTe then moved
W. K. Henderson
it to Kennonwood and increased its power to 500 watts
renaming it KWKH.
From then on the course of KWKH was a turbulent one.
for it was the fight of a little station against the big stations.
There was a prolonged set-to with the Federal Radio commis-
sion before Henderson was finally granted more power and
a favorable wave length. But these fights seem to be over
now. A few months ago he applied for permission to increase
the power from 1,000 watts to 10,000. The result was that the
Radio commission granted him permission to use 20,000 watts.
He is not yet prepared to avail himself of this privilege, but
has just completed a new 10,000-watt station, which will take
care of all the immediate needs and which can be enlarged as
the situation requires.
Early in the days of the Radio, Mr. Henderson found out
how to get and keep an air audience. The way, he found, was
to set off plenty of verbal pyrotechnics — bawl out somebody
unmercifully — give them a good show. Months have passed
since Herbert Hoover was inaugurated as President of the
United States, and still more months since the entire nation
echoed to the exceedingly bitter campaign that was waged by
the followers of Mr. Hoover and of Al Smith, but mention of
those days will always recall memories of W. K. Henderson
"tellin' the world" about the iniquities of Mr. Hoover and the
sterling traits of the Democratic candidate, in his truly inim-
itable style.
RADIO fans from Canada to the Gulf have learned to gather
around their loud speakers when W. K. Henderson starts
telling the world. Whether or not they like what he is telling
it, they listen and come back for more. They like to hear him
get hot. And when he shows signs of cooling off they send
him a batch of scathing, blistering telegrams to make him
hotter, and he responds obligingly to this form of prodding.
"People don't care about gentle, modest talk," Mr. Hender-
son said a short time ago. "They want it strong. They want
to hear you ride somebody. If not, why do they spend their
good money for telegrams? They want to be entertained.
They razz me and wait for me to bawl them out over the
Radio. I never disappoint them if they sign their names."
And that's why KWKH, even though its facilities for musical
programs are limited largely to phonograph records, remains
one of the most popular stations in the South and likewise one
of the most popular in the country.

WSM of Nashville celebrates its
fourth anniversary. Taking the
air for the first time October '5,
1925, this station has striven con-
tinuously to serve' all kinds and
classes of people. One of the
■most popular features on the air,
the "Grand Old Op'ry," is fast
becoming a national institution
and has brought much commen-
dation to the station which orig-
inated it. During the four years
of its life on the air WSM has
been prominent in relief work in
several cases of disaster, and in
state service as well.

CELEBRATING its fourth anniversary on the air Octo-
ber 5th, WSM accepts with heartfelt thanks the friend-
ship of millions of Radio listeners who tune in all the
way from Canada on the north to Mexico and Cuba
on the south, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. "We
Shield Millions" is the slogan adopted by The National Life
and Accident Insurance Company with home offices in Nash-
ville, Tennessee, for its super-power Radio station which took
the air October 5, 1925.
WSM has made a determined effort to serve all kinds and
classes of people in so far as the possibilities of human effort
are concerned. From the very beginning the station has broad-
cast church services from the First Presbyterian church in
Nashville. Dr. James I. Vance, one of the outstanding ministers
in the denomination, who was recognized as a leading church-
man before the advent of the Radio, has added millions of
friends as a result of his broadcast each Sunday. For the past
several months Dr. Roger T. Nooe, pastor of the Vine Street
Christian church, has alternated with Dr. Vance in broadcast-
ing services each morning and evening on Sunday.
During the four years of its life on the air WSM has given

ESTHER RALSTON
BROADCAST;
TALKING Pictures
Responsible for Bring-
ing Wealth of New Talent
to the Radio Microphones.
Actors no Longer Suffer
from "Mike Fright" as the
Talkies Bring Studio Rout-
ine Under the Kheg Lights.
By Herbert Moulton
WHEN lovely Esther Ralston, the fair-haired screen
star, spoke into a long-distance telephone at a lodge
on Lake Tahoe, California, one night last winter,
members of her motion picture troupe down in the
lobby heard her voice over a Radio loud-speaker from Holly-
wood, some 700 miles distant.
The screen star's voice was carried over the regular tele-
phone lines to Hollywood, where it was picked up by powerful
amplifiers and broadcast to millions of listeners in western
America. While Southern Californians sat in their open-
windowed living rooms, amid the fragrance of orange blossoms,
Miss Ralston described the heavy snow-storm that had swept
the Lake Tahoe region that afternoon and told her listeners
of the skiing and ice-skating that was then claiming the atten-
tion of winter residents of the lake.
Since that night, western motion picture and Radio fans
have made it something of a ritual- to tune in every week on
the giant broadcasting station in Hollywood which brings the
voices of their favorite movie stars into their homes.
Oddly enough, talking pictures, which owe their existence to
developments in the Radio science, have been responsible for
bringing this wealth of new talent to the Radio microphones.
BEFORE the dawn of the "talkies," few motion picture
celebrities could be induced to broadcast. When they did,
the listening public was usually aware of the fact that its
screen idols were a trifle nervous. Talking pictures, which
cause the players to face microphones in every scene, of which
there may be thirty or forty a day, have effectually removed
the "mike" fright that formerly came over screen folk when
they entered broadcast studios.
This changed condition is strikingly demonstrated at the
Paramount studios in Hollywood, where the super-power Radio
plant of the Paramount Pictures— Los Angeles Evening Ex-
press station, KNX, is situated. With its splendid studio build-
ing conveniently located on the motion picture "lot," within
a stone's throw of the sound stages where talking pictures are
filmed, KNX is receiving the benefits of world-renown talent
that a few years ago would not have been obtainable. Talking
and singing stars, screen players with a knowledge of music,
former stage and vaudeville artists now in the films, all con-
tribute their talents to the Radio audience through the medium
of KNX's powerful 5000-watt transmitter.
Every Monday night, from 8 to 9 o'clock, Pacific Standard
Time, KNX broadcasts the Paramount Hour, which has
become one of the most popular programs on the air. It is
during this Radio feature that many of the leading personalities
of the film colony make their etheric appearances. Esther
Ralston's long-distance broadcast was followed by appearances
in the KNX studios of such celebrated stars as Clara Bow,
Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Nancy Carroll, Gary Cooper, Moran
and Mack (the Two Black Crows), Richard Arlen, Baclanova,
Mary Brian, Helen Kane, Lillian Roth, William Austin, Clive
Brook, James Hall, Neil Hamilton, Jack Oakie and dozens of
other luminaries of stage, screen and vaudeville.
PUBLIC response to these broadcasts has been tremendous.
Clara Bow's initial appearance at KNX was an event of
national proportions, for it came at a time when the "It" girl's
admirers were wondering how her voice would sound in talk-
ing pictures. KNX provided these fans with a "pre-audition."
so to speak, and convinced them that Miss Bow's voice would
register on the screen in the same red-hot, vivacious manner
that she herself does.
With sound pictures developing the talents of screen players
along audible lines, it is only natural to asume that the Radio
will become an important part of their lives.
Charles "Buddy" Rogers, for example, through his ability
to lead a jazz band and play half a dozen instruments himself,
has become one of the most popular star personalities on the
air. When he completed his role in Paramount's "Close
Harmony," young Rogers came to KNX and broadcast many
of the musical novelties he did in the picture, and wound up
his "act" by leading the Paramount Symphonic Orchestra in
the same jazz number he conducts in the film.
Radio experience is proving helpful to players in their talking
picture work, just as their film efforts are making it possible
for them to offer real entertainment before the Radio micro-
phones. This was demonstrated in Rogers' case, for it was
during his initial broadcast that he became interested in several
of the instruments in the orchestra. He practiced on these
instruments during his spare moments and became so pro-
ficient that he subsequently played them in a new picture. He
now plays the piano, trombone, cornet, clarinet, trumpet,
bassoon and trap drums.
Nancy Carroll is another whose motion picture and Radio
performances are closely allied. Miss Carroll has sung over
KNX on several occasions, and each time she sang the song
hits from her current films. "It's a Precious Little Thing Called
Love," which she sang in "The Shopworn Angel," has become
one of the best-sellers of the melody world.
Baclanova, the dynamic Russian actress who made her talk-
ing screen debut in George Bancroft's "The Wolf of Wall
Street," is noted as a famous European dramatic star and
singer. She was featured in the productions of the Moscow
Art Theatre, and won fame for her performance of the Nun
role in "The Miracle." Mme. Baclanova has appeared before
the Paramount Hour microphones on three occasions with
tremendous success.
Moran and Mack, the Two Black Crows, made their one
and only Radio appearance on the Pacific Coast while they
were filming their first ail-talking picture at the Paramount
studios in Hollywood. Many of the "gags" and side-splitting
lines which will come to the screen in "Why Bring That Up."
were heard over KNX a few months ago by a record audience
which not only kept all of the dials in Southern California
tuned to the Paramount-Express station, but jammed the
broadcast studios itself with interested spectators.
Another star of the eastern ether lanes is Helen Kane, the
baby-voiced singer, who recently came to Hollywood to appear
in the talkies. Miss Kane had been in the film capital only 48
hours when she made her western Radio debut over KNX.
Lillian Roth, former Ziegfeld star, arrived about the same time
and brought some of Broadway's peppiest melodies to the
western air audience.
Motion picture artists no longer fuss and fidget when they
face the Radio "mikes." The reason for this is that all of their
film work nowadays is done under conditions almost identical
with those existing in the broadcast studios. When a scene
for a talking picture is filmed, the players enact their roles
and speak their lines underneath a microphone which is
suspended only a few feet over their heads, just out of camera
range. Sound stages, where the talkies are filmed, operate in
the same quietude that exists in broadcasting studios, and woe
to the artists, technician, or laborer who coughs or sneezes
during a scene.
Put Journalists on the Air
"1) ILL" SCHUDT'S "Going to Press," which is broadcast
-D every Thursday evening at 6:15 o'clock. Eastern Day-
light Saving Time, over WABC and stations of the Columbia
Broadcasting System, is bringing the country's foremost jour-
nalists before the big network's microphone.
"Going to Press" went on the air in December, 1928, and has
continued without interruption. The first few weeks were de-
voted to members of the Radio division of the newspapers.
Later broadcasts were turned over to columnists. Edward .
Hope, widely known columnist of the New York Herald-
Tribune was the first on the columnist series. Rian James,
Sam Kaufman, James Thurber and many others equally prom-
inent took their places in front of the mike and spoke.
"Going to Press" is to be continued indefinitely, according
to "Bill" Schudt, its originator and conductor.
"Bill" Schudt is an old newspaper man himself. He worked
on the New York Evening Mail. Later joined the New
York Telegram as technical editor. Four years after this he
left the Telegram to become Managing Editor of a New York
Weekly Magazine. Some time after that he left the magazine
to enter the broadcasting field. He is now news director for
station WABC, key station of the Columbia Broadcasting
System.
Invitations have been extended to editors and publishers
of the biggest dailies in the world to broadcast.

KOMO Presents

PACIFIC coast Radio fans enjoy the sym-

by station KOMO indicate. Thousands of
letters received at the station slwzv that the
classics are far n\ore popular than jazz with
a vast host of listeners.

"OUR broadcasting must
be in the interests of pub-

sity," is the dictum hurled
at the American Broadcasting sta-
tions by the Federal Radio com-
mission.
This may be a fairly simple mat-
ter if the service area is limited
and the listening population fairly
homogeneous, but consider the problem of a section of the
country that is virtually a melting pot of nationalities and whose
geological characteristics include large cities, prosperous farm-

ing areas and wide expanses of desolate country inhabited only
by hardy pioneers — a service area that includes the citizens of a
neighboring nation whose wishes should not be ignored in the
interests of international amity. To serve such an area and such
a listening population is" the task given to KOMO situated in
the northwestern corner of the United States, with the inter-
ests of Alaska and the Yukon as well as the populous cities of
Puget Sound and the neighboring province of British Columbia
to be considered.
Sometimes public convenience and necessity can be ex-
pressed in the desires and requirements of organized Govern-
ment bureaus. There are those who have feared that placing
the ether wave bands in the hands of commercial broadcasting
stations would handicap the Government whenever conditions
arose which necessitated the use of Radio in reaching the
citizenry.
All who have felt such qualms are invited to study the record
of KOMO whose programs are under the control of a broad-
casting organization known as Totem Broadcasters. A dozen
large commercial organizations have banded themselves to-
gether for co-operative broadcasting under the name of Totem
Broadcasters and yet no commercial program is regarded of
such great importance by Totem Broadcasters that it can not
be set aside as the opportunity arises to assist the Government
whenever it can efficiently make use of Radio broadcast.
THE U. S. ARMY, the Navy, the Department of Agricul-
ture, the Bureaus of Education, Canadian Bureaus, State
Bureaus of Washington, and Police forces of Seattle and King
County have all found KOMO ready and willing to offer its
services whenever requested. Incidents gleaned from the
daily log of KOMO reveal the opportunities for service that
have come to this West Coast broadcasting station.
The newly appointed U. S. Commissioner of Education,
Dr. William John Cooper, recently stopped in the general
offices of the Alaskan school division on a tour of the country.
"What is on my program while I am in Seattle?" he asked
Dr. Jonathan H. Wagner, Superintendent of the Alaskan
schools.
"Well, tonight, for the first thing, we go down to KOMO
so that you can address the school teachers and workers in
our Alaskan school system," Dr. Wagner replied.
"Will they be listening?" Dr. Cooper asked.
__ "Most assuredly," replied Superintendent Wagner. "Every
Friday night for the past two seasons we have had a program
over KOMO especially for our Alaskan school teachers and
every teacher up there that is fortunate enough to have a Radio
set — that includes 75% of them — tunes in on each program.
This program, which we call our 'Alaskan School Teachers'
Institute Program,' has been an important part of our work.
Just think! I can talk to my Alaskan teachers regularly once
a week and they feel that they are in constant touch with me
even though many of them are so far removed that a letter
couldn't reach them in six months! time."
Incidentally, the Alaskan School Teachers' Institute Pro-
gram over KOMO is the only educational program in the
United States directly sponsored by the United States Bureau
of Education. When Alaska graduated its first class of native
Eskimos from an industrial college the commencement ad-
dresses included a talk by Superintendent Wagner and a mes-
sage by former United States Commissioner of Education,
John J. Tigert, both broadcast from KOMO and picked up
by the receiving set in the White Mountain Industrial school
near Nome, Alaska.
OUT ON a barren island in the Arctic ocean, 150 miles from
the nearest wireless station at Aklavik, is a detachment of
Canadian Mounted Policemen, probably the most remote in
the entire service. For six months the Commissioner of Ca-
nadian Mounted Police at Ottawa had attempted to communi-
cate with the Inspector in charge of the Herschel Island
detachment. As a last resort he decided to appeal to KOMO,
recalling a statement in' one of the reports from Herschel
Island that "KOMO furnishes most of our amusement during
the long winter nights."
KOMO responded to the appeal by broadcasting the message
that "important communications awaited the Herschel Island
detachment at the wireless station at Aklavik."
Eleven days later, the time it required a courier from
Herschel Island to cross the ice filled Arctic ocean, Commis-
sioner Starnes at Ottawa was rewarded by a wireless message
from Inspector Kemp, head of the Herschel Island detach-
ment. Meanwhile others — trappers and fur buyers who had
also heard the message broadcast — were relaying the message
through to Herschel Island in case it had not been heard
directly. '
The Pacific fleet was in Seattle harbor as part of its 1928
summer maneuvers. It was a great day for Uncle Sam's men-
o'-the-sea. They were to be reviewed by none other than
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur. In addition, one of the great-
est honors that could be given to a fighting ship was to come
to the U. S. S. New Mexico, which had won efficiency awards in
three separate fields — engineering efficiency, gunnery and com-
munications. The entire fleet, of course, was interested, but
naturally there wouldn't be room on the U. S. S. New Mexico
for the visiting officers and men from the other ships.
The Chief Radio officer carried the problem to KOMO. A
general broadcast was impossible due to the position of the
battleships out in the harbor, but KOMO gladly co-operated
by lending necessary pickup and amplifying equipment and
members of the technical staff, formerly navy men themselves,
actually set up a broadcast station on the battleship and
enabled every other ship in the fleet to tune in on one of the
special wave lengths assigned to the navy.
Officers of the British and Canadian Navy ships, H. M. S.
Colombo and H. M. C. A. Vancouver, were to be guests of
honor at a civic reception. KOMO was appealed to to furnish
music for the formal dinner. A hurried search produced the
orchestration of "Britannia Rules the Waves," and so again
KOMO responded to the opportunity to serve the citizens of
the neighboring country.
SUMMER encampment at Fort Lewis for the Washington
National Guard results in an elaborate program of enter-
tainment in addition to the routine of military training. The
1929 camp saw a complicated network of loud speakers
throughout the camp connected to a center receiving set in
the Radio tent. And, again the appeal came to KOMO "to
furnish music for the boys in camp." Request granted.
In a tiny fishing village on the bleak coast of Alaska a can-
nery worker heard the announcer of KOMO send the message
that his "Mother in Seattle was dying and wanted to see her
children, three of whom were in Alaska." While wondering
how to get out to Ketchikan in time to catch the south-bound
steamer, a fishing vessel put in at the cannery dock.
"There is a man here who is probably trying to get out to
Ketchikan to catch the boat south. We heard the message
from KOMO and if we can help by taking him across the
bay to Ketchikan we are glad to do so."
Not only the son in the cannery but a daughter in the
Alaskan schools and another son in Petersburg were all on
the south-bound boat headed for Seattle when word came that
the mother had passed on and the race with death was lost.
KOMO, though, had done its part.
"More English than England," is the phrase that has been
used to describe Victoria, capital city of the Province of
British Columbia. Thousands 0f former Englishmen read
with pleasure of the recovery of their King and planned to
join in the Thanksgiving Service, which was to be held in
Westminster Abbey, London, during the early summer of
]929. Late in the afternoon preceding the event, came to
KOMO word that the National Broadcasting company would
attempt to rebroadcast the services which were to be broad-
cast by the British Broadcasting company.
WORD was flashed to broadcasting stations and newspapers
in Victoria and Vancouver as well. Everyone joined in a
widespread effort to acquaint all Canadian listeners and citi-
zens of the attempted broadcasts. Vancouver Radio publica-
tions in commenting on the successful broadcast as heard from
KOMO spoke especially of the fine co-operation between Ca-
nadian broadcasting stations and newspapers and KOMO.
To quote from one, "We see in this international linking up
of the world's Radio systems, cause for rejoicing . . . One
is continually hearing of comments being passed as to the
existing friendly relations between the Mother Country and
the U. S. A. . . . In the recent co-operation of the U. S. A.,
in the matter of making it possible for us to hear that service,
we, in our own way, do see a chance to 'get back' at those
'doubters.' . . . We have that Radio station just across the
line — KOMO, Seattle. This station did all in its power to
notify the Canadian Northwest of the last-minute plan to
attempt the rebroadcast of this service ... all this effort
undertaken by a nation that is often claimed to be at variance
with our Mother Country; but not as we view it."
The above incidents, taken at random from KOMO's diary,
are in themselves small evidence of what it means to operate
"in the interests of public convenience and necessity." There
are hundreds of thousands of other listeners who very seldom
express their wishes, the silent majority. To furnish these
with the varied and pleasing all-day entertainment requires
the constant thought and efforts of a programing department.
To meet this situation KOMO employs a staff of 45 artists
and program builders, and in addition there are approximately
250 artists "on call." This huge staff is maintained only to
give the programs originating locally at KOMO.
As part of the National Broadcasting company system there
are countless other programs coming to KOMO's listeners
from various originating points of the National Broadcasting
company network.
Every morning at 7:55 a brief inspirational service ushers
in the start of a day's broadcast, a benediction pronounced at
12:30 at night completes 16^ hours on the air.
"In the interests of public convenience and necessity," to
KOMO's large staff, has come to mean more than simply satis- ,
fying the Federal Radio commission. It is a formula express-
ing the tremendous task of serving the great Northwest,
America's last frontier.

Arnoux, G. C, Director-Announcer. One of
the real old pioneers of Radio.
You would almost expect his
hair to be white. Few an-
nouncers have been on the air
for seven years. He began his
work at WBAP, Fort Worth.,
at the famous Texas station,
^j? and used to thrill his listeners
\%^Jw with romantic tales of cow-
''■■i^^ boys. Now that he is direct-
ing KTHS he has given up his
cowboy ways and leads a quiet Radio exist-
ence. This may be due to Mrs. Arnoux.

Barbre, Tom, Announcer, KDYL,. Salt Lake
City. While his Radio ca-
reer is short compared with
others on the nation's micro-
phones, Tom is. notwith-
standing, one of the real
popular western announcers.
Injecting- enthusiasm and
personality into his work,
he captures that "it" which
the listeners use as a clas-
sification of announcer's
ability. He has been at
KDYL one year, and his story is an inter-
esting one. Philip G. Lasky, manager of
KDYL, while on a trip to Denver, happened
to hear Tom broadcasting a "ringside"
report of a marathon dance which was in
progress. After meeting Tom incognito,
Mi\ Lasky found that he was an appren-
tice at the microphone, but was found to
be exceptionally good on dances. KDTL's
manager immediately engaged him to come
to Salt Lake City to handle the marathon
dance broadcast which was to start in that
city following the Denver race. His work
at the dance floor was so well received by
the Salt Lake listeners that he became a
pennanent feature at KDYL. '
Barnes, Pat, Announcer of WGN. Gold Cup
Winner of 1927. Mr. Barnes
was interested in motion pic-
ture productions before he
went to war and only studied
voice incidentally. When he
came back from France, he
produced "A Buck on Leave,"
which was very popular and
which toured the United
States. He tried to get big
producers interested in it for
the motion pictures but it was too soon
after the war. As director and an-
nouncer of WHT he has won a large fol-
lowing. Pat has that Irish sense of humor
which always adds spice to any program
he may be directing. He even announces
market reports in a droll way. Pat is also
program director of the National Radio
Advertising company. During his present
regime at WGN, Pat has enjoyed unusual
opportunity with his original skits in
which he alone takes the part of several
characters.
Barnet, Jack, Program Director. KGW. for-
merly of KEX, Portland, is an

When the new 5,000-watt
transmitter of WRVA goes

the old 1,0 00- watt set, this
station was heard in every
state in the Union. Canada.
British Columbia. New Zea-
land, Australia, Hawaii.
Honduras, Panama, Mexico.
Bermuda, and other distant points. Mr.
Beadles is one of the old-time announcers
and has been with this station for many
years. Few listeners realize that the pian-
ist and accompanist they s© often hear is
no other than Mr. Beadles, who is an ac-
complished musician.
Beale, Art, Staff Pianist, KFEL. There
would be more mash notes
than there are for Mr. Beale.
if his fair listeners could see
how handsome he really is.
Everyone at the station feels
that he should go to Holly-
wood, where his good looks
would be appreciated. Hew-
ever. Mr. Beale is more in-
terested in his Radio work
and music than in having
his physiognomy admired
an.t has proclaimed his devotion to the
position of the invisible entertainer. Her,
he feels you more fully reach the indi-
vidual and he enjoys those daily con-
tacts with bis friends. When a few min-
utes' entertainment is needed, every one in
the studio simply calls on Art because he
can play anything from jazz to classics.

Bence, Robert, a new addition to the cele-
brated staff of announcers of KPO, at one
time rode the range atop a cow-pony and
thrilled matinee worshipers as an idol of
the stage. "Bob," like Clarence Tolman,
KPO tenor, and "Bill" Simmons of the
KPO Revue, used to swing a mean lariat
but in a different section of the country.
Tolman threw the bull up around Idaho.
Simmons down Colorado way, while Bob
held forth up at Washington and Oregon
and for a time down in Texas. Bob, like
Tolman, is a dark handsome sheik of the
saddle, standing 6 feet 2 inches in height.
No wonder he set many hearts aflutter as
an actor on tours that took him through
the North and Middle West. He teamed
with his brother William Bence and trav-
eled the Orpheum and Pantages circuits.
His brother is still on the stage. Bob's
ability to imitate and talk the dialect of
many nationalities, including Chinese, Jap-
anese, Italian, Scotch and Irish, makes
him a valuable asset to Radio as he can
be utilized in many productions.

tle, then in her heyday, decided he should
become her acccmpanist for vaudeville.
He agreed and played for her and accom-
panied her farewell tour. Later he played
with Arnold Johnson, Benny Meroff, Isham
Jones, Gene Goldkette, and for the last
three seasons with Jules Herbuveaux both
on and off Radio. He has several song
successes to the credit of his pen. During
his orchestral career he has made phono-
graph records and has been heard on the
National Broadcasting chain. His hobby
is crawling into a huddle with the Stein-
way or Baldwin, whichever happens to be
the cuddliest at the moment and losing
himself. He has a sweet wife and, accord-
ing to his own statement, has a yen for
automobiles . . . not the horns.

Bloom, Abe, KFRC Joy Boy, says hay! hay!
at the end of his songs, and
here is the story. Many
years ago, the small boy,
Abe Bloom, was selling pa-
pers on a street corner in
his home town, Harrisburg,
Pa., when Gus Edwards hap-
pened along. "Hey, boy, do
you sing?" asked Gus, who
was attracted by the quality
of the voice Abe was using
in shouting his wares. Abe
thought he might sing a little, and was
handed a silver dollar after being asked to
report at a certain theater in town that
night. Abe concluded he'd follow anybody
any place who was soft enough to hand
out silver dollars. At the theater Lou
Silver, Gus Edwards' musical director, was
singing Sunbonnet Sue. "Can you sing
any songs?" Gus asked Abe. "I can sing
the one that man is singing," was the
reply. He did, and he sang it an octave
higher than it was written without know-
ing the difference. "Hay! hay!" shouted
the surprised Gus Edwards. And that
may be the reason Able Bloom often says
hay! hay! at the end of his songs. Inci-
dentally he was with Gus Edwards for six
years following his first rendition of Sun-
bonnet Sue.

Brown, Bobby, veteran of World War, having
served 13 months in France. After the
Armistice he was given a ukulele and
spent all of off-duty time entertaining in

his title of Bobby Brown and his "Over-
seas Uke." Eight years ago, Bobby
started with WDAP. After a year and a
half he joined the staff of KYW. Here
he stayed for two years and a half. Then
followed months of theatrical work as
master of ceremonies for numerous B and
K units. Came back to Radio at WGES,
where he stayed for another year and a
half. Again the footlights lured him
away from the microphone, only to have
him return to his old love Radio, this time

croon into the microphone forgets his sym-
pathetic voice.

as their favorite Radio artist. His musical
education began when he was twelve years
old, when in his native Chicago he with
others of his fleck of lusty lunged newsies
betook themselves to the Chicago Newsboys
band. He was a member of the band
when it was awarded first honors in com-
petition in Brooklyn in 1917. Since then
he has played with such famous orchestras
as Paul Whiteman's Collegians, Muggsy
Spanier and his recording orchestra, and

Cavalli, Aida, the KPO Revue artist whose
work consists of "songs that
are different" and comic
patter, was formerly a
bright star of the Moving-
Picture colony at Hollywood
before becoming a Radio
star. Her impersonations
and dialect are bright spots
of the Big Revue program
of the Hale-Chronicle sta-
tion held every Monday night, 10:00 to
12:00 o'clock. The variety of the pro-
ductions which she puts on is one of the
things which makes her so very popular
with the fans. She can give you as many
different pictures as there are people in
San Francisco. She adds to her touch of
comedy that little note of pathos which is
so attractive over the microphone and can
touch your heart in a tender spot more
quickly than most entertainers can.

tunes. Her success was immediate. But
she didn't stop at these things, for she
was an accomplished toe dancer in Indian-
apolis theatres. And along with her enter-
taining, she gave a part of her time to
Butler University, where she was one of
the most popular campus co-eds. Then
along came radio, which found her so-
prano blues particularly adapted to the
microphone. She became a star over
WFBM, Indianapolis.- Then a leading Cin-
cinnati theatre starred her with its stage
band. But Radio called her home. And
since March she has been heard from the
Herald and Examiner Station KYW. on
the Merrymakers' program. When the
television comes along, there's a wonder-
ful blonde treat for radio audiences in the
person of Arabelle Chambers.

(SHATTER and Small Talk Concerning the Folks
You Hear and Read About in Radio
OH, MY dears, I have the most excit-
ing news. Pat Flannigan held my
hand, and I was so scared, simply
frightened to death. It
was thrilling. You see, I
broadcast from WBBM
and I couldn't face that
microphone all by myself.
Pat is such a dear, any-
way. He smiled at me
just as he is in this pic-
ture and gave my hand
the kindest, loveliest squeeze and then I
could really go on. I want to tell you
that since then I haven't been, half so
critical and snippy about other people.
Why, when you get up there and know
that thousands and maybe millions of
your friends are listening to you, you get
out of breath and your hands shake and
well, if you haven't got Pat, you can't
go on. If you ever do have to broadcast,
just wire Pat Flannigan, care of the
Wrigley Building, Chicago, and I am
sure he will be glad to come and help
you. By the way, Pat isn't married
either and he loves blondes.
There is such a lot of romance that I
simply don't know where to begin. In
the first place, 1 wrote to New York
for you to find out all about the love life
of the big Chain stars, and if my good
friend Walter C. Stone didn't write that
he was going on a belated honeymoon
and wouldn't have time to answer my
letter. Then I wrote to Florence Pierce
and lo and behold, she was to blame
for W. C.'s honeymoon and the two of
them were going away together. They
are perfect dears and I know that even
if you haven't heard them on the air,
cause they don't broadcast, you will
want to wish happiness to two people
who help to keep you informed about
everybody.
% sf: :{g
That was the first romance and then
when I wrote to WHK asking about
Kenn Car who entertains every day with
his piano rambles, my letter arrived
right in the middle of his wedding. They
couldn't spare him from the Cleveland
station long enough to go to Elkhart to
get his girl and she had to come up to
WHK. They invited everybody in the
station and it was the sweetest wedding,
cause she is very pretty and he is quite
handsome. I think this is a lovely ro-
mance because it shows that all men
don't forget the girls they leave behind
them.

C. B. inquires why we never use a
picture of Louis L. Kaufman of KDKA.
We have used his picture, but not for
some time. Here is a new
pose of him just as he
sits when he is talking to
you. Mr. Boyd writes,
"No, Mr. Kaufman is not
married and at the pres-
ent time knows of no pro-
posals. However, he en-
joys the company of young ladies and
finds much pleasure in taking the girls for
a ride in his Studebakcr car. He is a full
By Marcella
fledged, prosperous young lawyer and is
in the market for a wife. He has black
hair, snappy brown eyes, is full of pep
and enjoys Radio work. He has just
served six years as announcer for
KDKA." By the way, Mr. Kaufman an-
nounced at KDKA all the time he was
going to college and now that he has
graduated, he loves it so much he can't
forsake it even for the fascination of
breach of promise suits and divorces and
everything. Isn't it exciting? Goodness
gracious, it is three years more before
we really dare to ask him girls.
You also asked, C. B., about Polly and
Anna and Jack and Gene. I haven't
heard from WLW about the two girls,
but better luck next time. Our dear
Jack, I liked him too, has been having
difficulty with his voice or else, nothing
could keep him off the air. Jack and
Gene are both attractive and young. I
met them several years ago at a WLS
birthday party.
Bobby, and I suspect you are a girl
even if you are trying to mislead me,
asks me what happened to Russ and Bill.
I wrote Miss Carmean of KMA about it
and found she had gone to Europe with
Mrs. May and a lot of Radio fans. Isn't
that interesting now? She'll come back,
mark my word, with a ring on the third
finger of her left hand. I have never
known it to fail. I lost a perfectly good
roommate that way. Anyway, Miss
Ambler, who is assistant studio director,
tells me that Russ and Bill have been in
Chicago all winter. They were known
as Tag and Lean. Does that help any?
You remember that pretty Peggy Dool-
en of the Gypsy Trio of KMA? She got
married the first of August. Gloomy
Gus went down south somewhere to
manage a station and I haven't heard a
thing from him since. If anybody knows
where Gayle Grubb, Gloomy Gus, is,
please let us know, and also that slippery
person Jack Little. As to your great
question about chain program, Bobby, I
really can't tell you. Don't know my-
self.
* * *
Paul of Baltimore, you certainly were
nice to tell us all about those Baltimore
changes. Thank you very much. In re-
turn let me tell you all 1
can about Marley Sherris.
Unfortunately when I
was in New York, he was
the one man I missed in
the NBC studios. If I go
again, I shall just demand
that he be turned over to
me with no questions
asked while I give him an inventory for
you. The reason Mr. Sherris has such a
lovely voice is because he is a real singer.
Haven't you noticed how often a good
announcer is a singer? Of course, I
know you are not interested, Paul, in his
matrimonial state, but some of the girls
may be. He is married, lives in New
York, is 46 years old. He has the kind-
est, most attractive brown eyes and
plenty of sleek brown hair, and is 5 feet
7 inches tall. Don't you just love the
way I demand their entire measurements
for you and get a big company like the
National Broadcasting company to fur-
nish them, too? We really are a little
inquisitive, aren't we?

Dear Mrs. F. S. H., of Keene, N. H.,
please do not feel that your correspond-
ence is unbidden. I love to have you
write me and as for your
not writing your appreci-
ation of Mr. Ruffner's
work to the NBC direct,
it would be a lovely thing
to do. Your little letter
of praise is real applause
and if no one writes, how
can anybody tell what
Radio stars are really
admired and loved. Now, let me an-
swer your questions about Edmund
Ruffner. He is called "Tiny" because he
is the tallest man in the Radio world,
only standing 6 feet 5% inches tall. He
weighs 195 pounds and this should give
you a picture of a tall well built man
who walks buoyantly. His hair is a
pretty shade of light reddish brown and
his eyes are soft gray. I know because I
looked into them once. He is married,
my dear, so don't lose your heart. You
knew, of course, that he is now a guest
announcer of the NBC, like Alois Hav-
rilla. I thought you might be interested
to know that he was born in Crawfords-
ville, Indiana.
Did you know that my friend Bobby
Griffin was back at WHO. Welcome
back, Bobby. It seems so nice to hear
your voice again. I shall never forget
the time that Bobby took me out to the
cabaret to hear Guy Lombardo's orches-
tra. Bobby is such a perfect gentleman
that it is a real treat to go anywhere with
him. And I was doubly thrilled, Eliza-
beth Ann, because Guy came and sat at
the table with us. There's a handsome
man. He has those melting brown eyes
and sleekest of sleek black hair. I won-
der whether he is bringing his orchestra
back, to Chicago this winter. I never
could find out, dear, whether he was
married or not. You see, he may have
been afraid to say no because every one
of his fair fans might write to him, or
he may have been afraid they might not
if he said he was. All the Lombardo's
come from Canada.

Fred, you asked me about getting the
editor to use a whole page picture and a
writeup of Wilfred Glenn. I want you
to know that I am doing
my best and it is apt to
appear any issue. Of
course you can't realize
what an editor's desk
looks like piled high with
photographs, stories and
news. If I can ever see
even his nose over the
top, I will communicate
your request. In the meantime, I have
a lot of information for you and his
picture. When I wrote the NBC, Mr.
Glenn was in Europe. The Revelers
71
were over there this summer looking
for all new bits of music. Mr. Glenn
is a colorful personality with a decided
air of ruggedness and sincerity about
him. He has sandy hair, bluish gray
eyes, weighs about 175 pounds and is
5 feet 10 inches tall. Forty will catch
the age nicely. He was born in Cali-
fornia on a ranch, his father having been
a pioneer settler. That is the reason Mr.
Glenn is so very interesting. He lived
part of the time in Alaska and Mexico.
Just think, he never discovered until he
was twenty that he had a voice. I hope
you will write to me again, Fred.
■ * * *
Since you wrote me, Office Girl, Wil-
liam S. Lynch has been sent up to New
York. Perhaps you know that. He is
just twenty-two years old, has been in
Radio for five years, is married and has
a son a year and a half old and is consid-
ered one of the veterans of the studios.
In addition to these accomplishments
Mr. Lynch has brown eyes, dark hair
and is six feet tall. You can see for your-
self that he is handsome. His hobbies
are golf and swimming and he likes to
play baseball with the kids on the sand
lots. He also collects turtles and con-
siders turtle racing a major indoor sport
and far more exciting than contract
bridge. Doesn't he sound perfectly darl-
ing? ou know, _ he may be terribly
young, but he knows a lot and he is so
smart that they have made him Radio
production manager. That means that he
has to see that everything about a pro-
duction goes off smoothly. Not so easy
as it sounds when you think of thousands
of people waiting to hear a program.

I certainly don't blame you for admir-
ing Irma Glenn, of WENR, F. H., be-
cause she certainly is pretty. Did you
know that she was being
entered by WENR in the
Radio beauty contest
which is being conducted
by the Radio Manufac-
turers' Show in New
York? One reason she is
so very charming is her
daintiness. She is 5 feet 5 inches tall,
and that is just about the right size for
a woman. Her eyes are a soft hazel and
her hair is a golden brown. Doesn't she
give you the impression of being a girl
who would be a wonderful companion?
She is. She can dance, play golf, swim
and ride horseback and that gives her
that fresh out-door look the modern girl
should have. She comes to Radio well
equipped with vaudeville, concert stage
and motion picture experience. You
might say that Miss Glenn had lived
and grown up with music because she
began to study when she was only eight
years old. For such a young girl, she
has done an awful lot of things. Howl
envy her. She directed a theater in
South America and also toured Europe
as the leader of a girls' orchestra.
About this Rudy Vallee person much
might be, Jack, — in fact much has been
— written. To begin at the beginning, he
was born in Westbrook,
Me., 27 years ago — does
not look his age, incident-
ally; the son of a drug-
gist— nothing else like
him in the family — and
got his first musical ex-
perience from a mail or-
der clarinet he bought on the installment
plan. Evidently, objecting to the din of
practice, the then-not-so-proud father,
raised ah awful howl about the son's
frittering his time away with such gad-
gets. He wanted the boy to be another
druggist. Youthful persistence won,
however, and the very near future found
young Rudy laboring in the local motion
picture theater as "second assistant man-
ager." The duties were manifold, but
they did give him access to the musi-
cians' room and an opportunity to prac-
tice— at the privilege of the musicians.
It was one of these latter who advised
the saxophone and another mail order
resulted. So fruitful had been the cor-
respondence tactics that the future great
wrote Rudy Weidoeft, then the leading
exponent of the saxophone, for a course
of instruction. The master heeded the
letter and sent a course of instruction,
later giving the pupil personal attention.
Young Rudy was next heard from at
Yale, paying his tuition through a fre-
quent manipulation of a "hot" saxo-
phone. He deserted college at the end of
his freshman year to lead a group of
musicians at the Savoy Hotel in London.
It was there he made his radio bow and
was recognized as "good." Back in
America, he returned to finish his educa-
tion at Yale — still paying the bills with
his music. After college he played the
smaller towns with his Yale Collegians
and eventually a New York night club
drew him to the bright lights of Broad-
way. It was only a short while until the
broadcast fans claimed him for their own
and his career from that point is well
known. Rudy — who, by the way, isn't
named Rudy at all, but Hubert Prior
Vallee; the Rudy being a tribute to
Weidoeft — has been described as "tall,
but not noticeably so," and weighs about
160 pounds. One of the girls in the NBC
describes him as "long, blond head with
curious eyes, slanting down toward the
corners. A hard-boiled little red mouth
— it would be called a 'rosebud' in a girl
— with a rather full underlip. Expression
poised a bit hard, coldly vivacious." She
also discovers that Vallee's hair is "gold-
en-bronze and looks marcelled." The
eyes are a moot question — having been
variously described as grayish green,
bluish gray, gray and hazel. He's been
married, but it didn't take, having been
annulled or something some time back.
Is that enough? Yes, the editor says he
will use the picture of the whole or-
chestra soon. Two contributors asked me
about Rudy, Jack, for his sister, and also
Sydney.
Who in the world do you think I had
dinner with? I know you never could in
the wide world guess, Art Gilham, the
whispering pianist. We
had such a lot of fun
swapping all kinds of
tales and stories. Why,
in one city, the whole fire
department turned out to
welcome Art. There isn't
a single city in the United
States he hasn't been in
at some time or other. You know he
always broadcasts as if he were very
fat, and he really isn't. He is tall, slen-
der and good looking. Everybody
comes to the station to see Art when
he is in town, and more than once he
has nearly had a fight on his hands
because no one would believe he was
really Art Gilham until after he had
broadcast. Oh, yes, now, don't try to
make up a romance. Art is married. 1 te
has a very pretty blonde wife down in
Memphis. She used to travel with him.
but now-a-days, she stays home with the
two boys and this gives Art a place to
come home to, and is he proud of his
family? Well, I will say he is.

Ellen, weren't you sweet to send me
such a pretty pans}' for my album. I put
it in my scrapbook with all the little
souvenirs I have of Radio stars and
parties. You ask me about John Reed
Tyson. He has gone to WIBO to direct
the station. You know that is an import-
ant station now that the ABC chain pro-
grams are broadcast over it. Write to
me again, dear.

Niagara Nell, I really meant to take
the train to Buffalo and get all the in-
formation about that new Buffalo Broad-
casting Corporation you were telling me
about, but somehow I have been so very
busy that I haven't done it.

Please excuse us, Thelma, for spelling
your name wrong in the last issue. There
isn't a thing new about Bernice. I wrote
Mr. Tomy to tell her to be sure to come
to see us when she played here in vaude-
ville last spring, but I expect she was
too busy. Detroit is her home town.
Outside of that, you simply cannot get
any more information about the girl. She
is growing up to be a mystery.

That awfully nice Walter Campbell,
who is now at WAPI, Birmingham, got
married last winter, Mary. He wrote me
that he was a blond preferring blondes,
and that, possibly, was the reason we
got along so nicely as to correspondence.
And you might have added, Walter, over
the telephone.
* * *
Here is a letter from the south want-
ing to know something about a certain
young man who announces for WAPI,
Birmingham. I have just
received a letter, Mar-
garet, from Mr. Camp-
bell, the manager, stating
that Mr. Young is single
and very susceptible to
the charms of young
ladies. He is an attrac-
tive brunette, with dark, bright brown
eyes, and, best of all, does not possess a
moustache. My dear, I am afraid you are
not the only one interested in him be-
cause the telephones ring constantly
with demands for his time and attention.
The girls even come in to inspect the
studio and incidentally, of course, Mr.
Young. "It seems," writes Mr. Campbell,
"that an attractive bachelor cannot avoid
the ladies, but we are told Air. Young
makes no attempt to do so and is always
happy to see and hear from them. He is
always on the qui vive and we have yet
to see the young lady who can get the
best of his sparkling wit."

I got the funniest letter from Edward
A. Davies, Director of WIP. Let me
quote from it. "You ask me about ro-
mance. Here is all I can claim. Up-to-
date I have had eight proposals of mar-
riage, ten sets of pajamas, two turkey-
one case of grapefruit and a case of fur-
niture polish. It may interest you to
know that one of the proposals cam-'
from a young lady in Chicago, who was
prompted to write by an article you had
in your column. The most serious oi the
eight proposals was from a mother of
eight daughters, who offered not only
her portly self of 210 pounds, but a 90
acre farm, 20 head of cattle, three horses
and a 1913 Ford. Realizing there was a
catch in it somewhere, I learned that the
lady was more anxious to dispose of her
eight marriageable daughters by an-
nouncements over the Radio, than she
was of acquiring her fourth husband." I
thought you might enjoy this little tidbit,
Mr. Davies went to Europe again this
summer.

•ubtle Curves

Figure-
to
uininer
in Fashi
By Madame Circe
WHAT the vogue of beauty will be this fall is impatiently
awaited by more than one lovely young broadcaster
because when all the Radio beauties of the United
States are gathered together at the Radio Manufacturers' Show
Association beauty contest to await selection as the Radio
Queen of America, the present ideal of beauty will naturally
influence the judges.
One of the entrants is Louise Fordham, whose picture you
see in the center of the page. I chose her to illustrate this page
because she seems to typify the modern girl. Notice how
feminine she looks and yet how simply her hair is dressed.
The modern woman is beautifully simple and yet not severe.
She may have the most elaborate hair dress, but it must give
the appearance of being smooth and chic. Perfect grooming
is one of the important notes for fall.
Modern beauty is so well discussed over the air that there
is no excuse for any woman not knowing exactly what is chic
and lovely. Our idea of beauty has undergone a change even
as late as 1929. We are ever changing and we have our little
fads and fancies just as they did back in the gay nineties when
the human figure was not at all what it is today.
The Baroness Edythe Diedrich, who broadcasts over Station
WBBM, says that modern beauty is subtly feminine, and I
think that is a good definition of the modern mode of delicately
lovely curves, slightly tapering waist, small ankles, dainty feet
and well shaped legs. The arms must be curved, but not heavy
enough to look athletic, and the throat must lift proudly and
carry aloft a head well coifed.
The figure comes in for a great deal of attention this fall
because, although subtle curves are allowed, the boyish figure
is passe and the overweight woman is as much on the outside
of the mode as ever. She must discover the new methods of
reducing which will not take away the flesh from the places
it should remain, and yet will give her a symmetrical figure. I
should advise tuning in on the various exercises of the day
and a little attention to the proper diet.
EVEN though delicate curves are coming back into style, the
1929 beauty is not fragile in appearance. No girl of today
is beautiful if she looks as if she were not strong enough to
enjoy herself. Her delicacy, her curves, while not actually
athletic, are the result of health, for health and beauty are still
popular. All during the summer the vogue of suntan gave a
golden glow of health to the cheeks of every woman who
wanted to appear chic, and this transforming tan will not quickly
depart from beauty circles. Of course, a woman must be true
to her type and if she does not look well in this new form of
cosmetics, she may be pink and white.
Princess Pat, who gives the daily beauty talks over KYW,
says that summertan has transformed so many women that it
will not quickly depart from fall fashion and that she expects
the nutbrown maiden to remain awhile longer to enchant with
the lovely texture of her skin. However, she feels that the girl
who took her sunbathing with descretion will be more fortunate
this autumn than the girl who actually let her skin weather in
the sun and wind. Better to buy a subtly tinted powder that
will give her this glow of health than to actually expose the
delicate tissues.
For fall, the eyes are still important. We have just begun
to learn the value of a little eye shadow and a little darkener
on the lashes. Everything should be done to give the eyes
tone and added beauty. The rouge on the cheeks gives sparkle
to the eyes and the lips can be much improved by the right
shade of rouge. There will be no radical change in autumn
beauty, but with the lengthening of the skirt and the slight
touch of the Empire style, will mean that every woman will
have to take closer inventory of lines she has almost forgotten
she possessed. Let me see how long is it since the waistline
disappeared? It must be at least five or six years and here it
emerges again to add allure to the feminine figure.
YOU will hear, as you wander about over the dials looking
for your daily morning beauty chats, many discussions on
the care of the hair, because the hair is a very important part
of beauty. Georgia O. George consistently tells her listeners to

Adele Nelson at WBBM also gives her audience a definite idea
of what it means to have lovely tresses and what methods of
treatment underlie its care.
With all the experts telling you just how to care for your
skin, there is no excuse for wrinkles and ugly lines. I wonder
if many of us realize how much beauty talks have done to bring
the beauty treatment right into the home and bring loveliness
to every woman whether she is able to afford expensive treat-
ments or not. When your face, neck or body is really in need
of expert treatment, it is well worth the money to invest in a
consultation with a specialist along these lines, but for the
every day upkeep of the skin, you can gain a great deal of in-
formation about the technique of loveliness if you keep an open
ear for the daytime programs.

THAT everlasting problem
of tonight's dinner is
solved for WBAW listeners
by Atlie Parman.
TLIE PARMAN the
culinary mistress of
WBAW, Nashville,
has been collecting the fa-
mous recipes of the South
for years so that she could
give these to her Radio lis-
teners, not only of Dixie-
land, but of the North. To
collect these recipes Mrs.
Parman had to penetrate the
kitchen of more than one
old Southern family and per-
suade the old colored
mammy to share her cook-
ing secrets.
Mrs. Parman is known for
the skill with which she has
conducted the WBAW
Modern Housekeeping and
Cooking School. More than
one young husband owes
the success of his married
life to the training his wife
received through this cook-
ing school, and many di-
vorces have been averted
because Mrs. Parman suggested such interesting and well
balanced menus. The Radio cooking school has a definite place
for the housewife, filling as it does a daily need to discuss her
tonight's dinner with someone. Mrs. Parman has a large and
appreciative audience.
The first recipe Mrs. Parman submits is typically southern.
Southern Corn Light Bread
2 pounds white corn meal
1 quart water
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
54 cup shortening
Use 1 pint of water and 2 cups of the meal to make a mush,
add 2 tablespoons of the sugar, 1 tablespoon salt and the
other pint of water. Then stir in enough meal to make a
stiff batter and set aside over night in a warm place to
ferment and rise. Next morning add the remainder of sugar,
melted shortening and meal to a thick, very thick batter.
Pour into heavy skillet and bake in moderate oven 1 hour.
Put this in your Radio cookbooks with the following recipe:
Southern Biscuit
2 cups pastry flour (or soft wheat flour)
Yz teaspoon salt
Yz teaspoon soda
Yz cup shortening
Yt cup buttermilk or beaten up clabber
Sift flour, salt and soda together, cut shortening in, add milk,
mix to a soft dough, roll to Yi inch thick and cut with bis-
cuit cutter. Bake in hot oven 475 degrees F. 10 minutes.
The next recipe is a real old southern recipe.
Real Southern Barbecue
1 fresh pork ham (10 or 12 pounds)
Steam 1 hour, peel rind, jab about through the ham one and
one-half or two inches apart, baste with a sop (southern
term) every 30 minutes, cook in the broiling unit of gas
stove for four to six hours.
To make sop:
cups of drippings from steamed ham
tablespoon red pepper (ground)
tablespoon salt
cup vinegar
tablespoon mustard
Ya cup sugar
Juice of 2 lemons
Mrs. Parman includes with her recipes an original one she
has worked out for apple pie. She calls it an Apple Pie Custard.
Apple Pie' (Custard)
Pastry, plain
2 cups flour (soft wheat or pastry)
Yz cup shortening
Yz teaspoon salt
Enough cold water to make ingredients stick together
Filling
2 cups apples, stewed and strained
2 eggs
1 cup sweet milk
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Ys teaspoon salt
Beat eggs, add milk, sugar, apples and melted shortening, salt
and nutmeg, pour into pastry lined pie plate and bake at
400 degrees F. for 10 minutes, then reduce to 350 F. for
25 minutes.
This is the month when squash or pumpkin pie is much in
demand and so Mrs. Parman sends a recipe:
Squash Pie.
IY2 cups squash, thoroughly cooked
1 cup milk
Y2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Y2. teaspoon salt
Yz teaspoon allspice
Yi teaspoon mace
2 eggs
1 tablespoon butter
Put all the ingredients, except the eggs and the butter, in the
double boiler, bring to the scalding point. Beat the eggs
well; add them to the hot mixture. Stir until it starts to-
thicken. Add the butter. Bake the empty crust to a very
light brown. Pour the hot filling into the prebaked crust
without removing it from the oven. Bake the whole pie
in a moderately hot oven until the filling sets.

Last winter an unqualified

America is not jazz mad — that the hosts who

^oice of the Listener
Seven Years Broadcasting
We have a man who has been broadcasting- a weekly religious
service over our station and this week finishes seven years of
regular broadcasting for him. He started July 16, 1932, and his
service has been continued ever, since.
This leads us to inquire how many, if any, broadcasters,
exclusive of announcers, have been on the air for this length
of time. Do you have records that will give us this information
or can you obtain it for us? So far as we are able to learn,
very few broadcasters antedate this record— REX G. BETTIS,
Station WOQ, Kansas City, Mo.
This Makes Us Blush a Bit
I just received my Spring issue of Radio Digest and as usual
I sat me down to digest its contents. Starting with the front
cover and continuing to the very last page, I find a great
volume of enlightenment regarding the doings of Radio broad-
casting and reception.
For three years I have never missed an issue of the Digest
and even if I did not have a Radio I would not want to be
without this fih'e magazine. I read every article in Radio
Digest, then reread some.
There are many Radio magazines on the market and each
one claims to be the best. I have made many comparisons,
and never yet have found one to equal Radio Digest for real
interest to the listener. Many Radio magazines specialize in
pages of ads and Radio hook-ups which mean nothing to the
average listener. What we want is real Radio news that con-
cerns the personnel of the different stations, and also a call log
that we can depend on as reliable. This is just what I get in
Radio Digest and each issue gives more and better information.
Recently I picked up a call book, which was of latest issue
and found five mistakes in the station listing, and it sells for
50 cents.— F. L. NELSON, 1110 Hillsboro St., Pittsburgh, Pa.
Wants a Radio Club
We are in the retail and wholesale Radio business in the
State of Florida, with headquarters at the address below. For
the past several years, there has been a need of a Radio club
of some sort in this city, and, in fact, in the entire state. The
dealers that we come in contact with, in all parts of the state,
have often expressed their wish that someone would start a
Radio club, the members to be the ~et owners and fans through-
out the state. We believe that a medium of this kind .would
allow the dealers to get in closer contact with the fans them-
selves.
The writer is under the impression that a Radio club is
already in existence, with central headquarters in your city,
through which a local organization could obtain a charter, with
full instructions, etc., for organizing in this city.
We are faithful readers of the Radio Digest, and have derived
so much information, which has been a help to our service
department as well as the sales department, from your publica-
tion, that we have learned to look to you and your magazine,
to help us out when we get in a tight place. Therefore, we are
asking you for the above information.— SOUTHERN RADIO
CO., 17 S. Miami Ave., Miami, Fla.
Relieves His Chest
"Write a letter and get it off of your chest," says a very black
foot note to page 77 of the latest issue of Radio Digest — on that
page whereon appears the department ycleped, "Voice of the
Listener."
Why in thunder and bobcats do broadcasters, with an inge-
nuity that is perfectly Mackiavelian, perpetrate, inflict and foist
upon their listeners such stuff as is hereinafter enumerated,
mentioned and set forth.
As, for instance — advertising subtly, sweetly and confidingly
—hair renewers, warranted to restore hair to shiny scalps that
for a half century have accumulated brilliancy until they glitter
and scintillate even to the worriment of the city fire depart-
ment— this is bad enough and is a cause for disappointment
and grief — but WHY — in the name of suffering humanity,
WHY — ANNOUNCE, and while announcing, play wierdly
dismal music in such force and obstrusiveness that neither
alleged harmony nor struggling announcer can be compre-
hended— all to the everlasting despair of the poor wreck of a
radio fan? "Quick, Watson — the needle." I am— H. L.
BRANTHAVER, 229 N. Stanislaus Street, Stockton, Calif.
Would You Rise Up?
If you can by some means induce Radio announcers to
announce their station letters it would be a great service to
listeners-in. Also if those who arrange programs could be
induced to omit Barn-yard jazz (discords); Tenors,- adenoidal;
Sopranos; steam whistle; -Saxophones, * all,- the whole Radio
audience would, I am sure, rise up and call you blessed.—
THOMAS DWIGHT, San Diego, Calif.
Vote Jessica Most Popular
A short while ago, a Radio Fan Club was organized in this
city. As corresponding secretary of this club, I am writing
to tell you about an incident which recently occurred here. I
think it will interest you.
For the last five months, a dear little lady named Jessica
Dragonette has been voted the most popular artist on the air.
Of course, we were all interested in her, but didn't know any-
thing about her personality or appearance.
Then, one day by mere chance, I happened to buy the Spring
issue of the Radio Digest. Before twenty-four hours had
passed, every member of the Happy-go-Lucky Club had pur-
chased one of these magazines, and was diligently reading all
about their favorite star. That very day, a rule was passed:
a rule which was unanimous. This rule stated that every mem-
ber of the Happy-go-Lucky Club must buy the Radio Digest
four times a year.
We are all waiting- as patiently as possible for the next issue
of your magazine.
With all best wishes for your success, I am — MARJORIE
L. GOETSCHIUS, Corresponding Secretary "Happy-go-
Lucky" Club, 228 Ray St, Manchester, N. H.
And Then Came the Riot!
The March, 1929, issue of your wonderful paper was the first
I have read and it will be the last, because I do not have much
time for that kind of reading-. After reading the article on page
73, I decided to tell you what I thought of Radio programs as
a whole. To a little invalid of my acquaintance, life would be
almost unbearable without the Radio. And most likely to
many others. It is a wonderful institution. Now, if I were
conducting a Radio station to my taste:
1. "Souprahno" solos would NEVER be heard.
2. The "Piahno" would be drowned in a symphony orches-
tra or a brass band or brass choir.
3. Tenors would occasionally be allowed to sing Killarney
and Mother Machree to the accompaniment of a guitar and
bass fiddle.
4. "Violinistes" would be — or rather would not. "Fiddlers"
plenty, and not only en solo, either. String bands would be a
feature.
5. A brass choir would furnish all the dance music to be
heard from my air castle station, and if these present day dance
orchestras could or would not also play the simple tunes,
sacred music, etc. . . .
6. A "little German Band" like the one at WLS at one time
(or rather several different combinations) would be regular
features.
"Modern music" reminds me of the Dutchman in society.
When luncheon was announced, he said, "T'ell wit your
luncgh — I vont somdting to eadt."
"Variety is the spice of life," and the amount of jazz one
hears over the Radio does not make the programs very spicy.
There is a certain announcer at a certain station who gives
me such a big pain that if I was sure that his family would
not have to suffer with him I would ask the manager of the
station to send him ... to school.
Read this, call me what you like, then throw it in the waste
basket. That's that.— M. AULENBACH, Auburn, Pa.
We Can "Clear" 'Em Here
I note in Radio Digest that you "welcome all suggestions."
I am submitting the following because only tonight an oppor-
tunity presented itself wherein several announcers were tryin.u
to locate stations in certain cities and were forced to go through
the list. Some of them were trying to find suitable stations for
themselves as prospective announcers. A few began to write
letters to a couple which they picked out from your list.
My suggestion is as follows . . . List the stations under state
headings or principal cities. Use the last page or two for a
clearing" house for announcers who wish to make a change.
There are many announcers who wish to go West and main
wish to come East, but are afraid to go because of their inabil-
ity to get in touch with people in other stations. You will place
your valuable magazine in every station by this method, I
think.
I hope this suggestion will prove of value. Thanking yon
for past favors and trusting I can reciprocate, I am, HOWARD
BUTLER, New York City.
Refutes Jazzy Statement
There has been brought to my attention a published state-
ment'to the effectthat at the present time, there is less classical
music on the air by thirty-threje and one-third per cent than
. there was during the winter .months. This statement intimate;
that the Radio stations arc paying less attention to tine music,
and have practically "gone over" to the jazz or popular camp.
If the organization making this statement had considered, or
V
thought the matter over, the statement would never have been
made. It would have remembered that if it weren't for broad-
casting there would be only ten per cent of the fine music
available to the music lovers of the country during the summer,
that there is during the winter months.
There is as much justification of expecting Radio stations to
give nothing but opera and chamber music during the humid
weather as there is to expect the Metropolitan Opera House to
keep open all year round. As a matter of fact, there is several
hundred times more fine music being broadcast consistently
during the summer months than there is being played upon
any stage in any theatre. We can tune in practically any eve-
ning and we will find that stations are still presenting miniature
operas, chamber music and fine concert artists. In fact, you
will find almost as much fine music on the air now as during
the more frigid months when fine music is supposedly a part
of our daily fare.
Broadcasting has seldom retrogressed. Let us praise each
forward step and not be too ready to pounce upon what seems
to be backward.— PHIL SPITALNY, New York City.
WHAT WBAP MEANS TO ME
While pondering o'er the meaning of the letters WBAP,
I must admit I'm puzzled to know just what it can be;
So I'm guessing hard and wonder if I am warm or cold,
And in telling you my version, please do not think me bold.
Now "W" stands for "Worthy," as I can plainly see
Expressed in Fort Worth people, who have grown so real
to me.
And "B" must stand for "Brotherly," which makes of this
broad land,
A great big happy family, delightfully entertained by your
Hired Hand.
"A" must stand for "Amiable." the virtue for which we strive
For in dealing with our fellow man brings much peace into our
life.
And "P" of course for "People," put here on earth to prove
That Worthy, Brotherly, Amiable, People express themselves
in love.
For this is what our Master said reflects our God above.
It's the language that is best to know.
And the most simple one to learn,
It's expressed in loving kindness, and rewards at every turn,
Now it travels through the ethei, sent from WBAP,
And fills our lives with gladness, wherever we may be.
—MRS. DAISY ROGERS, Emporia, Kan.
Even Valentino Cover Flopped !
The new Radio Digest came in the other day, and, as usual,
we were very anxious to get it. We always look forward to
the next Digest with great anticipation, to see whose picture is
in this time, that we know, because we are always curious
about those whom we hear so much and never see.
You ask for comments and suggestions, and, while we like
the Digest just as it is, very much, I believe I could give you
a few pointers. A pretty girl cover is always a great hit, at
the same time, there are so many, publications using this type,
while yours, being a special Radio magazine, and there are
so many, many interesting features about Radio, I believe you
have just as good a field to choose from, other than the fair
sex. Let's have a real Radio cover next time.
Wish you would sometime give us a real story about a big
50,000-watt station, like WLW; tell us how they keep every-
thing going so smoothly and regularly, and tell us how much
it costs to build a big Radio station. I believe if we had some
idea of the cost of these big stations we might appreciate them
more than we do. And let us have more pictures of the station
announcers, those we hear so much and never see. We hear
them every day, and the artists usually once a week. So let
us see more of the big station announcers.
Also give us interiors of some of the great studios, and right
here is where you could get plenty of ideas for a Radio cover
for the magazine. I would like to see Dorothy and Uncle Neal
Tomy reading the funnies to the kids on Sunday afternoons
from WJR, Detroit.
We never tire of pictures of Ford and Glenn, Phil Carlin.
Graham MacNamee, or any of those who were with Radio
from the beginning. We always like to see the pictures of
Radio Harmony teams and if you can ever get anything out
of Jack and Gene, let's have it.
Would also like to see something from KWKH, but I have
an idea that the Old Gentleman wouldn't let you.
There are always so many, many ways in which anything
can be improved that it is really difficult to know where to
commence, and if you can get any good ideas from my letter
1 am glad I have written to you, you are welcome to them.
The only fault that our family finds with the Radio Digest
is that it is too long between copies, they don't come often
enough. But that's all right, too.— NELLE PITTENGER,
Mansfield, Ohio.
It's Mutual, Girls
We received your spring number of Radio Digest and surely
appreciated the space which you afforded Station KMO. We
j^irls had quite a time making the men around here believe that
we did not write that article ourselves. However, we all en-
joyed it and we have had many requests for the magazine.
The magazine counter here in the hotel has only one copy,
and we had to send to Seattle for copies here at the station. We
have asked the newscounter to stock more of Radio Digest, and
we are also making your inclosed announcements.
We are doing this not only to co-operate with you, but also
because we believe it is Radio's best magazine. — MARGARET
HAYMOND, KMO, Inc., Tacoma, Wash.
Suggests National Club
As I have been a reader of your magazine ever since it was
a weekly and I am more than pleased with each new edition
I also agree with R. D. Flaslip about the stations not announc-
ing their call letters often and plain enough. We, the DX
hounds, sure tear our hair when we have to take up fifteen
to thirty minutes to ferret out the location of the station.
Then there is the local interference that most cities have to
fight. Many are now forming clubs to trace and eliminate the
noises as much as it is possible to do so. As yet there seems
to be no law to take care of the offenders. It rests with the
listeners to form a club in each locality to work up to a national
club in order that we may have some laws to govern willful
interference. It takes a great deal of effort on the part of the
leaders to form these clubs. If you do not believe it, just start
one in your locality. The club also protects its members by
having talks on apparatus that is absolutely worthless to the
set owner.
The present allocation does not appeal to many listeners,
especially KYW. As a rule it is a miracle if the average set
picks them up clearly when the powerful stations just 20 kc.
apart are all on. There are many other similar stations, but
I am interested in KYW, as they broadcast all the boxing
matches in Chicago.
Let's get these clubs started. All inquiries to me or our club
must have a stamped self addressed envelope enclosed for
reply.— FLOYD H. BROTHERSON, 343-19th Place, Clinton,
Iowa.
Bags Big Game With Radio
We had heard, like countless other thousands that "Music
Charms the Savage Breast." Often, in the prints, we had seen
accounts of experiences of animal trainers and others who cited
instances where the above was proved true. But we wanted
to find out for ourselves.
Last August four of us went on a fishing trip to Northern
Ontario, far from any town or habitation. We were in canoes,
accompanied by guides. We carried with us a powerful Radio,
portable, of course, for our entertainment and experiment.
It was a five-tube Fada, made to order and contained in a
suitcase-like grip. Several spare bulbs were carried, as well
as dry batteries.
On the shore of Lake Hin-wan-go-no we pitched camp, one
night, and set up our set. The Indian guides had told us that
we were in the heart of wild game country and that we could
expect to see moose, bears, deer and smaller game. We wanted
to catch them unawares and for that purpose we carried along
a powerful light, which, at the right moment would be lighted,
revealing our nocturnal visitors.
At about nine at night we succeeded in tuning in Montreal.
After directing the sound of the reception toward the woods,
we all retired to some distance from our camp and awaited
results.
About twenty minutes after, we heard, far in the distance,
the call of a bull moose. He gradually came closer, as we
could tell when he repeated his trumpet. It was a question
with us whether we should shut down our Radio or not, we not
being enough familiar with moose to know if he would attack
our machine and destroy it and the tent, which stood near by.
However, we chanced it, and allowed the machine to continue
switched on.
As the moose gradually came closer, we became aware of a
breaking of twigs and branches by another animal. The noise
was off about fifty yards from the Radio and we knew instinct-
ively that it must be a quite large animal.
As the music came in full force, all of us moved somewhat
closer to the machine than before, because we figured that
if any animals approached, they would likely come quite close.
Besides, we wanted to be ready in case any of them did make
attempts to examine the machine too minutely.
The moose came on, as did the other animal. Finally when
we judged that they must be right at the edge of the forest
and watching and listening to what was going on, we switched
on and directed toward the woods our powerful light.
This is what we saw: The moose, a young one, judging from
the size of his horns, stood in water up to his knees at the
edge of the lake and watched, with ears up, what was happen-
ing. About twenty-five feet from the moose, right below a
large pine, stood a deer! Were we satisfied? I should say
so! Music brought them close. Next year our Radio again
goes along!— EGON A. SCHILLING, 853-2nd st, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.

WSM's Fourth Birthday
(Continued from page 62)
generously of its time and power to aid the American Red
Cross in several cases of disaster. The Mississippi flood, the
Florida storm, and the Nashville flood were the situations
which called for and received day and night service.
SIXCE September, 1928, WSM has maintained two orches-
tras; the studio concert orchestra under the direction of
Orin Gaston, and the WSM Rhythm Symphony under the
direction of Francis Craig.
Tom, Joe and Jack, the minstrel men, have during the past
three seasons made thousands of Radio friends happy all over
the United States with their weekly programs.
The WSM Mixed Quartette composed of Ovid Collins, bari-
tone; Christine Lamb, contralto; Margaret Rich Ackerman,
soprano; and George Nevins, tenor; with Miss Frank Hollowell
as accompanist, presents not only a sacred concert on Sunday
evening but appears upon special and numerous occasions dur-
ing the week on musical productions.
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Rose, two of Nashville's outstanding
artists, appear each week in concert. Air. Rose is concert-
meister of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and is director of
the violin department of Ward-Belmont Conservatory of Music.
Mrs. Rose is an accomplished pianist.
Mrs. Daisy Hoffman, pianist and recording artist, and teacher
of piano, appears at regular intervals. Mrs. Hoffman has been
well received in concert in the east and south.
Christine Lamb, contralto, winner of the Atwater Kent State
Audition in Tennessee for two successive years, is a member of
the WSM family.
Justine Dumm and Lillian Watt, sopranos; and John Carter
and Luke Burns, tenors, play an important part in the schedule.
Victor and Margie Kephart present popular songs in an at-
tractive way. Sherm Thompson, an old time minstrel man, pre-
sents popular songs of years gone by together with a few of
the later numbers. The Imperial Hawaiian Players, the per-
sonnel of which is Raymond Archie, steel guitar and ukulele,
Dave Ferguson, steel guitar and ukulele, and Bobby Martin,
standard guitar, appear once a week in Hawaiian string music.
Throughout the winter months programs have been pre-
sented by members of the faculty of Ward-Belmont Conserva-
tory of Music, and by the Nashville Conservatory of Music, of
which the celebrated voice teacher, Signor G. S. de Luca is the
president.
Realizing its responsibility to the outlying districts in Ten-
nessee, which is largely a rural state, WSM was quick to see
the necessity of an extensive agricultural program. This has
been given each day at noon for four years.
TWO outstanding artists in widely different fields who are
nationally known, began their Radio careers at WSM. The
first of these is James Melton, member of the world famous
Revellers quartette and tenor soloist on several National Broad-
casting company programs. The second is Obed Pickard, other-
wise known as "Dad" Pickard and his Family, who began their
Radio career with the "Grand old Op'ry," the Saturday night
feature of the station.
The staff is headed by George D. Hay, "The Solemn Ol'
Judge," Director of the station, and Harry Stone, Assistant
Director. The Judge is well known in Radio as one of the
pioneer announcers. He was the winner of the first Gold Cup
offered by the Radio Digest in its nationwide contest.
Harry Stone is a practical Radio man who has seen service
in all departments. He has a sense of the artistic as well as a
familiarity with the technical side.
Jack Keefe is a member of the announcing staff and is an
entertainer in his own right as well as being a member of
the team of Tom, Joe and Jack.
Last but far be it from least, is the WSM "Grand Old Op'ry, '
a national institution which has attracted attention as one of
the outstanding programs for the past four seasons. The folk
tunes of the Tennessee hills are put on direct from the soil
by the following well known performers: Dr. Humphrey Bate
and his "Possum Hunters"; DeFord Bailey, harmonica wizard:
W. E. Poplin and his Orchestra: Paul Womack and his "Gully
jumpers"; Burt Hutchison, guitarist and singer; Arthur and
Homer Smith, fiddle and guitar; Theron Hale and Daughters,

WSM was instituted by The National Life and Accident
Insurance Company's station in 19:2.').. The officials of the Com-
pany directly in charge of Radio are Edwin W. Craig and L. R.
Clements, who saw the possibilities of a Radio station to serve
the South and create good will for the Company.
Woes of "Props" Echo in Studio

chase. Meanwhile in the WLS studio a production using a
pirate theme waited for the non-profane parrot. After an
interval of three hours Vicklund returned without a bird. He
reported that plenty of parrots were in the stores, but none of
them had a vocabulary beyond "hello," or an ambition worthy
of a cracker.
In staging the Shakespeare plays over WLS, Anthony Wons
of "Tony's Scrapbook" time encountered a number of difficult
situations. The one that kept Tony awake nights was the
duplication of a skull dropping on the ground for use in
"Hamlet" during the graveyard scene. His experiments with
materials and sounds were the laughs of the station for a
week. On the night of broadcast he decided to use croquet
balls dropping in flower pots full of dirt. All the experimenta-
tion was for naught because an assistant in dropping the
croquet ball missed the flower pot and spoiled the effect.
EMBARRASSING moments do not stop with production
men. That is the claim of Heranan Felber, director of
the WLS orchestra, who has been "up a stump" several times
on unusual musical cues in the plays and productions that
come before him.
The script of one play carried the note for music to suit
"a beating sensation within the hero's brain!" The final result
of the musical investigation ended in the drummer suggesting
his tom-tom to produce the effect. During another rehearsal
a character was "killed" two lines before the play action called
for the death. Oscar Tengblad, cornetist of the WLS or-
chestra, rose up to see the cue blackboard and got in the way
of the drummer and director who were communicating by
signs of the progress of the cues. The drummer, believing
everything was to be "ended," "shot" the fictitious person on
the moment. The announcer, still in a dramatic climax, was
far from the "death" scene. Mutual blushes were registered
by both the drummer and the announcer.
• Another embarrassing moment occurred when the piccolo
player began to play "Yankee Doodle" during a drama of the
Revolutionary war. The joke was that the Hessians were on
a march and the play called for a German selection.
FROM "whangdoodle" to "two-cylinder cob crusher," the
variety of queer names found on the roll of entertainers
at WLS gives evidence of nimble wits put to use.
Already some of the names of WLS favorites have become
household traditions if examination of the letter mail is to be
used in judging. Among the best known on the Saturday
night National Barn Dance are Walter Peterson, the "Ken-
tucky Wonder Bean and His Double-Barreled Shotgun,"
Bradley Kincaid, the "Mountain Boy With His Houn' Dawg
Guitar," Grace Wilson, the "Bringin'-Home-the-Bacon Girl,"
and Pie Plant Pete and his "Two-Cylinder- Cob Crusher."
H. L. Mencken of the American Mercury would find occa-
sion for many laughs in the list of other WLS entertainers.
Here we find Jess Doolittle and his "Illinois Sodbusters."
Stan Clements, the "Alabama Whangdoodle;" Three Hired
Men: "Three Jacks and a Joker;" Dynamite Jim and his
"High-Powered Outfit;" Howard Melaney, the "Singing Fire-
man;" Charley Brinkman and his "One-Alan Band;" and Tom
Hickory and his "Cornhuskers."
Newcomers to the WLS staff are subjected tp an investi-
gation of their antecedents, past history, occupations, hobbies
and general history in an effort to tag a freak name on them.
However, the names that stick usually pop up spontaneously
during a program.
KMOX Broadcasts Endurance
(Continued from page 58)
It might prove interesting to see just how KMOX conducted
this 186^-hour endurance broadcast. It was determined, at
the start, to have a surprise for the listeners every time they
were transferred to the air field, and these surprises were pro-
vided by having prominent airmen and visitors at the field, the
respective wives of the fliers, members of the refueling crew,
officials of the air field, and others speak over the mike from
the field studio, which was set up in the office of Frank Rob-
ertson, president of the Robertson Airplane Service company.
In conducting this world record endurance broadcast.
KMOX did not prepare for it by installing new transmission
equipment, but relied solely on the equipment which has been
in use since the station was opened on Christmas of 1925,
according to an announcement by Junkin.
William West, chief engineer of KMOX. in relating the
mechanical features of the long-distance broadcast, said the
generators and batteries were changed every eight hours and
that operators working in three shifts, were on duty at tin
flying field, at the studio in downtown St. Louis, and at the
transmitting plant in Kirkwood, a suburb. There were approx-
imately forty miles of land wire between the microphone at
the air field and the transmitter in Krkwood.
Wilbur Brokenshire, Norman's brother;
Eunice Schmidt, shortly before she be-
came Mrs. Brokenshire, and Norman.
Brokenshire Has Experience
(Continued from page 9)
tached to the Fabian House, one of the largest summer resort?
in the East, after which, his mother having returned from Eng-
land, he went back to Maine ciice more. Here again the
mechanical side of life seemed to call the loudest and after a
family conference Norman took the entrance examinations of
the General Electric company's apprenticeship course, going to
live at Pittsfield after satisfying all the requirements of the ex-
aminations, and worked in the G. E. shops between classes in
the apprentice's school.
a \ FTER a year or two of this," he remarks, "I decided it
-£*- was time I took a hand in the war — I was the only one
of the family who hadn't joined up to that time, and in fact was
still so young I had to obtain formal permission from my
mother before I could enlist. A hurried trip to Maine ironed
out this difficulty, however, and with a number of my friends
in the shops I joined the infantry.
"My soldiering carried me into camp, trained and tamed me
thoroughly and then the war blew up right in my face, for we
were to have gone across on December 5th had not November
11th and the Armistice interfered. And there I was, out of a
job again."
His father's account of life behind the lines interested Nor-
man, and he found a place with the Y. M. C. A. Here, at
nineteen, he was the youngest "Hut Secretary" among more
than 3,000 such workers, and had charge of "Y" work at Ft.
Totten and other army posts. In these camps he staged plays,
arranged vaudeville and other entertainment for the service men
and became what is rather widely known as "a good fellow."
That this latter appellation was deserved is attested by the
volume of mail he has received from old friends of camp days
since his Radio life began.
After things had quieted down in the military line, with a
consequent lack of demand for Y. M. C. A. workers, Broken-
shire joined the ambitious but ill-fated Interchurch World
Movement as a campaigner. Then that campaign fizzled out
and Norman was back to normalcy, jobless again, but not for
long as he took charge of a boy's camp through the summer,
and in the fall, aided by a scholarship from the Y. M. C. A.,
entered Syracuse University to complete his education. It may
have been the influence of the great outdoors or just the natural
free mindedness of youth, but Norman shifted his aim when he
entered Syracuse, and started a course in Forestry, later trans-
fering to the School of Liberal Arts, working his way through.
Despite his work and studies, Brokenshire found time to
keep his hand in with welfare by doing organization work for
the Near East Relief, whose leaders had been attracted to the
young enthusiast by his nation wide campaigning for the church
movement. On completing his college course Broke turned
heart and soul again to the Near East Relief which he terms
"that greatest of all philanthropic movements of which this
country can boast," and was for two years and a half field
worker in New York state, being transferred later to the post
of field director for the State of Florida.
a HP HIS was a marvelous experience," he declares, "for not
-«- only did my work include meeting the most representative
and influential people in every community, but each Sunday
found me making an appeal from the pulpit of some friendly
church, with numerous meetings of civic bodies also demanding
attention and presenting new opportunities to meet and talk
with interesting personalities.
"Despite my happiness in this work, it suddenly came to me
that I really wasn't getting very far — that this type of work,
interesting and enjoyable as it was, wasn't exactly my niche.
I thought business might appeal," is the way Broke explains
his resignation and the attempt at commercial life which
follows, but as a matter of fact it was an impending breakdown,
brought on by over exertion, which forced him to abandon his
career in welfare work and return to the North.
"In 1922 then, I resigned, to see what business held. I first
resumed my old trade, drafting, with the Technical Advisory
corporation of New York, where I helped draw up zoning
plans of many of the smaller cities in New Jersey, but soon
found a place more to my liking with the Air Reduction com-
pany.
"Here I supervised the taking of a motion picture illustrating '
every phase of the delicate process of extracting commercial
oxygen from the air, and then toured the country with the
film, arranging for its showing before large trade and technical
meetings, also lecturing and demonstrating with liquid air.
Even this proved too confining, however, and after a year and
a half I looked for new fields of endeavor."
And so, we come to Radio, for as Brokenshire walked past
33 East 42nd Street one afternoon he happened to see the
legend Broadcast Central, walked in, and held the conversa-
tion with which this story opens.
"I left," recalls the subject of this biography, "but the reply
the operator had given me stuck in my mind. Pure curiosity
had taken me in the place, and about all I knew of Radio in
79
those days was a memory of the sketchy imitations of an-
nouncers we had given at various entertainments in the
Y. M. C. A. I think at that time my reaction to Radio as a
possible occupation was merely that anything was better for
me than salesmanship, which, after all, was what I had been
doing for some time. I kept a weather eye on the advertise-
ments, and, before long, saw a 'blind' advertisement in the
paper calling for a Radio announcer, and listing more quali-
fications than I had ever imagined a man possessed. At any
rate, there was nothing to lose, so I answered the advertise-
ment and reported for an interview about a week later.
"Y^rHEN I arrived at the Radio Corporation of America's
W office on Forty-Second Street, I found the same tele-
phone operator, and about four hundred applicants, milling
about a rather small room, and looking extremely ill at ease,
after the manner of applicants the world over. Well, they
picked and chose, tried out and eliminated, tested and elimi-
nated some more, and we were all dismissed; but a few days
later I found I alone had been picked to assist three others
as announcers for the Radio Corporation's twin stations, WJZ
and the now defunct WJY. It was a better percentage, at any
rate, one from four hundred, than what the telephone operator
had given me, and, what is more, all four of us are still in
Radio in one capacity or another.
"Herbert Glover, now with the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tem as chief of the publicity department; Lewis Reid, who
recently joined the Judson Radio Program corporation as
special announcer; Milton J. Cross, still with WJZ and its
companion station WEAF; and your humble servant became
known rather sketchily as 'The Four Horsemen of Radio.'
Those were the days, as the old timers of the Radio audience
will remember, when we announcers cloaked our identity
behind a set of initials, Glover being 'ATN,' Reid 'ALN,'
Cross AJN,' and I, 'AON.'
"I developed, finally, into an announcer, and found the
Radio audience had decided ideas on who was the favorite
Radio personality. Fan mail for anyone of four initialed
announcers was rather evenly divided between roasts and wel-
come commendation, many of which showed pique when
we happened to be on WJZ when the listener had expected to
find us on WJY, and vice versa.
"These letters also began to praise my diction and enuncia-
tion, and, while I had been rather matter of fact and no more
particular when talking over the microphone than in everyday
conversation, I began to think. 'If these people feel I'm worth
complimenting,' I said to myself, 'just wait until I put some
real thought and care behind it.' And I took great pains, for
several days thereafter, to accent vowels and speak with great
precision, and in doing so learned the first great rule for any
studio aspirant — BE NATURAL — for, in trying to improve
my natural voice, I- had only succeeded in chopping my voice.
"I tried to build up a distinctive style in my announcing, a
bit of informality that would not only be instantly recogniz-
able, but pleasing as well, and, while there were some times
when I knew I had fallen down most woefully, with experience
and study I finally developed an ability to 'put over' just what
I had hoped to. My long standing greeting, 'How do you do,
ladies and gentlemen,' was adopted for this reason, and by this
same opening line I have reported every conceivable public
event and opened every one of the many programs for which
I have been announcer since that- time."
THE public events include the Bryan funeral services, the
Wilson Memorial, two Presidential Inaugurations, the
reception to the World Flyers, the dedication of the Golden
Theatre, the Atlantic City Beauty Pageant, the Hollywood
Movie Pageant, and several others; while Radio programs
handled by this pioneer are too numerous to mention. At
present he is most closely identified with Hawaiian Shadows,
the Coral Islanders, Ceco Couriers, Around the Samovar and
Voice of Columbia. Not only does Brokenshire announce
these hours, but he regularly writes the continuities for several
of them and appears as Master of Ceremonies as well on other
programs broadcast over the Columbia Broadcasting System.
The typically Brokenshire touch as creator of Radio enter-
tainment was first applied on a large scale to the Reading
Railroad Revellers, incidentally the first example of program
sponsorship by an American railroad. That series opened
March 29th, 1925, and instantly sprang into the front rank of
Radio programs. Other programs for which Broke was largely
responsible included a number of sponsored and sustaining
broadcasts, while the personal appearances he has made, alone
or with a group, are legion.
However, to return to Broke's story in his own words.
"When WRC, Washington, was opened, I was transferred
there to help build up the station, came back to WJZ as its
chief announcer when it went to super power (80,000 watts),
and resigned when the National Broadcasting Company took
over the management of the station.
"My resignation was the result of much thought, and was
decided on only after several days of very careful considera-

The Two Troupers
(Continued from page 19)
M. — Yes, but this is for publication, it's got to sound nice
and editorial.
H. — Well, there's only one thing to do, tell him about the
things we've done in the theatre, that's what Radio fans will
want to know.
M. — Well, they certainly ought to know by this time if
they've heard us on the air, that I'm an ingenue, that I'm five
feet tall and weigh 108 pounds and I have light hair and blue
eyes and I sing and I dance and I do buck and wing and I
kick over my head and I do imitations.
H. — Say, hold everything, don't do that litany again. You
should have music set to that and sing it as your early morn-
ing hymn. You've certainly got it down pat, who ever taught
you that? I almost hear you in my sleep.
M. — You know I went on the stage when I was four years
old and it didn't take me long to learn to shout my capabilities
from the housetops to every director I met or came in contact
with. I wanted to play every part they had.
H. — You certainly had a man's size ambition for a little girl.
Did you have much luck?
M. — Did I? I had some lovely parts. I played in the pro-
duction of Materlinck's "Blue Bird," and with Maud Adams in
"Peter Pan" and I played the little girl in "A Fool There
Was," and gangs of others.
H. — Oh: that's ancient history- If you're going to dig back
to before the war I can go you even one better. I made my
debut at two years of age speaking a piece at a Presbyterian
strawberry festival in a little town called Fairfield, Illinois, my
birthplace, and I taught school out in the country when I was
sixteen years old.
M. — I can't imagine you a country school teacher, but then
I never saw a country SGhool teacher because I was born and
bred here.
H. — Oh, yes, on the sidewalks of Manhattan. You're just
one of those New York hicks.
M. — Says you, yes, a hick, just like our famous former gov-
ernor and our popular mayor and a few other fellows, like you
never saw when you taught school at Fairfield.
H. — -Oh, but I didn't teach there, that took place way out
W'est in Utah where my folks moved when I was six.
M. — When I was six I went to school right here and later
I went as far as the Pacific Coast time and time again with
shows and we played Utah, I didn't think it was so "hot."
H. — Well, at that, you must admit that it's a good place to
come from. I really got my start .there, singing in high school
and acting home dramatic shows. Finally, I found a manager
who'd take me along, so I trouped with a company, a road
show, east; the goal of every ambitious would-be actress.
M. — I'm one ahead of you there, because I was already here.
I started at scratch, and when I outgrew child parts I did
movies and then went into vaudeville, playing in sketches and
dancing acts until I eventually landed a musical comedy.
H. — So that was when you became the gabby ingenue, and
could sing and dance, and what have you?
M. — What have you, is right. I was the comedienne with
"Helen of Troy, New York," then ingenue prima donna with
the Gallagher and Shean show, and that was something! Then
back to comedienne with "Rose-Marie," and, oh, how I loved
that show and that part.
H. — Well you see, I was on the road in vaudeville with
Santly and Sawyer when it opened, and after that with "The
Dove," you know, the Willard Mack show that David Belasco
produced, here in New York, and we had matinees on the
same day, so I couldn't manage to see it.
M. — Oh, Helene, did you work for Belasco? Isn't that
marvelous. Wasn't it a thrill?
FT. — It sure was. I hated to leave his management but I had
my own act in vaudeville after that, a comedy sketch by Mr.
and Mrs. Willard Mack, and then I went to my beloved Califor-
nia, with "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
M. — What do you mean, beloved California? I thought you
were rooting for Illinois and Utah.
H. — Well, by adoption my real love is California. I'm as
dippy about it as a native son.
M. — In other words, you're a climate salesman, as J. P.
McAvoy says. But, hey! _ We're wandering all over the lot.
Was that your last dramatic production?
H. — No, last year I played a very naughty lady in "The
Scarlet Fox" with Willard Mack. You know they were always
casting me for vamps and hard-boiled types. It's a relief to
play a reasonably nice but slangy girl on the air.
M. — But, Helene, Mr. Brown, the editor, wants to know how
Ave happened to do this Radio program, so let's tell him that
we met last September on the Eveready Hour, when I did
Dixie Dugan and you played my sister Nita in "Show Girl,"
by McAvoy.
H. — Yes, and how so many people suggested that we work
together as a team on account of the difference in our voices
and Radio personalities, but that we didn't get a chance because
you were so busy all winter with the Eveready Hour and I with
other Radio programs and the then new "talkies."
M. — Do you think he'd be interested in knowing what a time
we had getting started with our skits?
H. — Well, if we told him, it would certainly give the "fans"
the "lowdown" on you and your tardiness. You know, really,
you should be called "the late Miss Shields." Honestly, I'll bet
you'll be late to your own wedding, if you ever are courageous
enough to settle down to one man.
M. — Oh, Helene, don't show up all my faults to the Radio
public, they won't like me if you do. Besides, you know I can't
help it if I live so far up town and oversleep occasionally.
H. — Say, don't start on that oversleep business, or I'm liable
to burn up this paper, because every time I think of that first
NBC audition when you walked in, one hour and five minutes
late, I could just claw the ceiling. All the "big bugs" of the
station waiting in the Planning Board room to hear us, and
Miss Shields ambles in at 12:05 for an 11 o'clock audition; oh,
boy! It's a wonder I didn't knock you for a couple of ash cans
right then and there, I was mad enough to.
M. — Oh, Helene, you're not going to put that in the inter-
view, are you? Gee whiz, that's terrible!
H. — Well they want to know the truth, don't they; so, w'hy
not?
M. — Then, please add that I'm gradually reforming, and in
time I hope to get to an appointment right on the dot, really!
H. — Yes, in time! but I fear I'll be too old and decrepit to
appreciate it by then. Well, anyway we finally had another
audition, thanks to our manager, and apparently they liked us.
for we were engaged shortly afterward.
M. — That ought to be enough information, with the added
fact that we really do write our own material. ,
H. — Surely no one could doubt that, no one else could write
as dizzy as we do.
M. — After all, we're not news writers, we're only actresses,
who just barely manage to write a skit a week.
H. — You said a couple of mouthfuls then. Well what w-ill
we do, send him these notes and let him pick out what he thinks
the fans will like to read? Oh, yes, we mustn't forget to tell
him to listen to our programs at NBC, "The Two Troupers."
and that we hope he likes us.
M. — Well, is that all? Can you think of anything else? Oh,
I know — you forgot to say that you are a D. A. R. and that
your ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War.
H. — And that they did not come over in the Mayflower, eh,
what? I'll bet the fans will want to know our ages, but that's
one secret we'll keep, woman-like.
M. — Yes. Gee, must they know everything? Anyway, they
can take a peek at our pictures and guess; that ought to be a
great pastime.
H. — Yes, for the tired business man and the hard working
housewife.
M. — Helene, do you suppose we should tell them that we
both can cook and sew and make our own hats, if necessary,
and that you're a very good swimmer and I'm learning and
that we can drive a car, only we haven't got the car?
H. — Heavens, no! Some of them will be wanting to marry
us, if they find out how "good" we are, and you know we're
wedded to the Radio.
M. — Well, come on; let's sign it and mail it. We've got to
get busy on that script for the last week in August. Oh, boy!
No rest for the wicked, what?
H. — You tell 'em, I'm sun tanned. Some of our fans have
written in and said that they like us so much, that they wish
we were on every night, which is awfull}' sweet of them, but
we'd be dead, I fear, if we tried to get up more than one
program a week. I hope Mr. Brown finds something of inter-
est in this.
M.— Golly, so do I.
Radio Land of Make Believe
(Continued from page 53)
Over five hundred letters addressed to Bill and Jane are
received every day at the National Broadcasting Company's
offices, and half of them are from grown-ups. One of their
most enthusiastic fans is a professor at Columbia University,
and among others are some very cynical, hard-to-please news-
paper critics. One evening not long ago Jolly Bill invited
the distinguished professor to "hop on the back of a magic
grasshopper" and go with them on a trip into the jungle.
A half hour before they go before the microphone Jolly
Bill tells Jane the story for the day. He watches her reactions
as a guide to how their audience will receive it. If she
does not respond, when he goes before the "mike" the story
is told in a different way. In fact, whether she likes it or
not, it is never told just the same way twice, because Jolly
Bill observes all the rules and regulations of the "Story-
Telling Uncle's Union," which prohibits such a practice. This
rule makes it more fun and keeps Jane on the alert.
Besides Bill and Jane you will meet their friends. Fritzie the
Fiddler, the Three-legged Piano Man, the Bugle Man and the
rest of those captivating characters that romp through Make-
Believe-Land with them.

Amos 'n' Andy Use New Words
(Continued from page 15)
IfREEMAN F. GOSDEN, the "Amos Jones" to Charles J.
Correll's "Andy Brown," knows his negro dialect better
than the French chef his onion soup. Three generations of
the Gosden family have lived in Virginia and Freeman had the
advantage which few blackface minstrels ever enjoy — namely,
a childhood association with the Gosden family's negro
mammy and "Snowball," a young negro lad of Freeman's
own age in the Gosden household. It is Snowball who lives
again in the trusting, simple, unsophisticated Amos Jones,
chauffeur extraordinary to the one broken-down Fresh Air
Taxi which so forcibly reminds one of the Toonerville Trolley
that meets all the trains. Amos, around whom the halo of
sympathy usually hangs, in contrast to the domineering per-
sonality of Andy, might deny that he is related to the Vir-
ginia Snowball. As a matter of fact, he is only partially
Snowball. The real Snowball comes into the picture only
occasionally when "Sylvester" appears on the scene.
In fact, Amos merely appropriated the real Snowball's pet
phrase, "Ain't dat sumpin?" which every Radio fan recognizes
as an expression as characteristic of enthusiasm as Andy's,
"I'se regusted," booms forth the heartbreak note from the
depths of black despair.
Not that "Andy" Correll does not know his negro dialect,
just because he came from the North. Here is how Bill Hay
describes Andy in his book, "All about Amos 'n' Andy:"
"ANDY: Domineering, a bit lazy, inclined to take the
credit for all of Amos' ideas and efforts. He is always 'workin'
on the books' or 'restin' his brain,' upon which (according to
Andy) depends the success or failure of all the boys' joint
enterprises. He'll browbeat Amos, belittle him, order him
around, but let anyone else pick on the little one — then look
out!"
The writer has been listening to Correll and Gosden for
a number of years. He was almost tempted to say "listenin'
at'' Amos 'n' Andy, so vivid are the memories of that rich
negro dialect. Not once during those many episodes that
have transpired on the unseen Radio stage in which Amos 'n'
Andy have played their parts, has there ever been a word of
ridicule for the race which they portray. This I am assured
is attested by the fact that the colored people themselves are
great admirers of the impersonations of their race and that
Amos 'n' Andy are oft invited to speak at meetings of colored
people both in the North and South. Part of this may be
psychological because of the sympathetic treatment which the
creators of these characters give to the delineation of the
two ignorant, struggling negro boys from Atlanta who have
come to the big city, first to Chicago and then on to New
York, or I should say, Harlem.
NEVER an unkind word but always good fun without any
attempt at being funny other than through the situations
which arise for their episodes. They are excellent show-
men as one of their critics records, but they know that the
great American audience likes clean, good-natured fun arising
from situations themselves rather than unkind attempts at
humor through ridicule.
Their new broadcast — and it is new in the sense that their
antics are being put on directly before the microphone instead
of through the medium of a recording device — promises to
give them new opportunities. Aside from their enlarged
income which certainly accrues to them because of their
national fame and recognition, Amos 'n' Andy can now stay
closer to current happenings than heretofore. When they
were broadcasting through records, although few people knew
it, it meant that the episodes were transcribed from five to
six weeks in advance of the broadcast. Now they can return
to their old love, if they want to, namely, to be just a
bit more spontaneous and embody last minute ideas into their
minstrelsy. That does not mean that Correll and Gosden
will foresake their old habit of preparing a perfect script
for each episode. Their work is too painstaking to permit
haphazard improvisation.
On the other hand, they purposely do not rehearse their
episodes immediately before going' on the air.
"We couldn't do that," Correll told me, "because of the
fear of going stale. We have lived with our characters so long
that we can assume the roles on a moment's notice. We fall
into them naturally because we have studied their traits and
their mannerisms; that is, we know just how Amos feels about
everything, and how Andy is certainly always ready to make
the best of an opportunity to rest and spout off.
ONE thing which Correll and Gosden are often asked, is this:
"Who takes the other parts in your performance?"
Perhaps these two famous comedians will be "regusted"
at the disclosure that they are guilty of playing all the
parts in every episode. In other words, Correll, in addition
to being Andy, and Fred the landlord, also takes the part
of the hard-boiled policemen whenever one of them is ready
to reprimand the chauffeur of the Fresh Air Taxicab Com-
pany. He also takes the part of the Whale and the Sword-
fish, those two highly important officers of the Mystic Knights
of the Sea. "Amos" Gosden is also the Kingfish and Sylvester,
along with his own would-be father-in-law, the well-to-do
parent of the adored Ruby Taylor. One thing they have
never tried to do, that is, to impersonate a woman's voice
over the Radio. That is why the Widow Parker and Ruby
herself have never been heard. Of course, if ever the Widow
Parker and Ruby Taylor got in a word, I am afraid Amos 'n'
Andy would never get in another edgewise. And that would
be fatal.
TO ME the most interesting characteristic of these two
inseparable Radio stars, for one never thinks of one with-
out the other, is that they write their own script for every
episode. They are not only actors in the play but the play-
wrights themselves. This means that they must remain
eternally on the quest for new ideas, new situations, new
plots, new fun. I am afraid that if they entrusted their script
writing to any one else but themselves, these comedians would
not find the material just to their liking or entirely true to the
characters they are depicting.
For that reason, the superlatives that have been heaped
upon these peerless comedians and the receptions which have
been tendered them when they have deigned to make a per-
sonal appearance, such as their recent vaudeville excursion
to the Pacific Coast, are well deserved. I am afraid that
the most prolific short-story writer would balk at a con-
tract which required him to turn out two thousand words of
dialogue a day regardless of inspiration. As Gosden lets
Andy sum up the philosophy of business for him:
"Yo' see, Amos, no matteh whut bizness you is in, de
bizness is gotta have a head man to tell 'em whut to do and
when to do it. So dat's de way 'tis wid us. I strains my
brain an' figgehs out whut you gotta do. Yo' see de brain
work is de most reportant thing."
CORRELL and Gosden, as it has already been said, always
write the dialogue for the Amos 'n' Andy episodes exactly
as it is pronounced. For instance, Andy never says "I is
regusted." He says, "I's regusted," and this is the way it
appears on the script. If Amos says, "Ain't that something?"
it is always written "Ain't dat sumpin?"
To illustrate just how. the original manuscript reads, a selec-
tion from the script of the famous courtroom scene is given
below :
Judge (in distance) — Attorney for the plaintiff will proceed
with the cross-examination.
Attorney Rada (fading in to cross-examine Andy) — Your
name is Andrew Brown?
Andy — I don't remembeh.
Judge (raps twice) — The witness will answer the attorney
for the plaintiff. Proceed with the cross-examination.
Rada — Your name is Andrew Brown. Is that correct?
Andy — Yessah, dat's right.
Rada — You are president of the Fresh- Air Taxicab Company?
Andy (boastfully) — Yessah, yessah.
Rada — Do you know Mrs. Parker?
Andy — I did know her, but I ain't speakin' to her now.
Rada — Brown, when did you first meet Mrs. Parker?
Andy — I met Mrs. Parkeh oveh at Ruby Taylor's house one
night.
Court Clerk — What was that last statement?
Andy — I met Mrs. Parkeh oveh at Ruby Taylor's house one
night, but I'se sorry I eveh went oveh dere.
Rada — That's neither here nor there.
Andy — Yes, 'tis. It's oveh dere.
Rada (impatiently, to Andy) — Just a minute.
Andy — I don't remembeh.
Rada — Brown, did you ever write Mrs. Parker a letter?
Andy — Yessah.
Rada — Is this your handwriting?
Andy — Dat kinda look famil'ar to me — I don't make no "a"
like dat, though. Maybe I did make it, though. Yessah, I
guess dat's it Is it got my name on it heah— — Yeh? — Well,
dat's mine all right.
Rada — Brown, take a look at that. Do you remember writ-
ing those words, "My darling, baby-face Snookems"?
Andy (excited) — It seems like I is, and den it seem like I
ain't. I b'lieve I is, though. I know one thing, I was crazy
to write it.
Rada — But, nevertheless, you wrote this letter?
Andy — Yessah.
Rada (to Court) — The next line of this letter — "How can I
live without you, my darling? We must fly away together, my
little Snookems." (To Brown, with high pressure.) Brown,
did you really love this woman?
Andy — I don't remembeh.
Rada — Didn't you plead with her to be your wife? Didn't
you beg her on your bended knees, not to love anyone else?
Andy (quick, mixed-up reply) — Yessah — I mean, nosah — I
mean, I don't remembeh.
Rada — Andrew Brown (slow and deliberate), I want to
ask you one question. „
Andy — I don't remembeh.

The Gigolo Mystery
(Continued from page 14)
"Good Gawd!" came the guttural cry of astonishment from
him. "A girl!"
Kennedy and I were not far behind him in scrambling
aboard and, as the cruiser listed with our weight, we clung
to the roof of the cabin and peered down and in through the
windows with him.
What I saw was enough to justify McNaught's exclama-
tion. There in the cabin as the water swirled about her feet
was a girl, young, beautiful, blonde, one of those blondes
who can wear a red dress with effect — her body thrown back
in the arm-chair before the table — dead!
On the table before her were the remains of what might
have been breakfast or a light lunch for two. Before her
was a plate with a bunch of grapes, perhaps half eaten.
But it was not that that fixed my attention now. It was
the face of the girl. Not only her face, but her arms and
hands, her neck and shoulders — in fact, her whole lithe
beautiful body was green!
Kennedy was in the cabin in an instant making a thorough
examination of her.
"Not drowned," he muttered after a quick determination
that artificial resuscitation was too late. "Not shot. No
marks of violence on her."
£<T)OISONED," I suggested, awed a bit, for such a tragedy
-I to a beautiful woman strikes even a newspaperman with
more than ordinary force bv its contrasts. "What's this
Green Death?"
Kennedy would say nothing but was making a hasty sur-
vey of the cabin, collecting and marking the objects on the
table, even the grapes, everything.
"Gosh, Ed! It's Lola Langhorne of St. James! You know
— who divorced Allen Harper because he was more in love
with his polo ponies and his mother than with her — she said!
Gosh!"
While Kennedy continued to examine the girl and the
cabin, I took it upon myself to police the boat and shoo off
the curious while I urged the men in the tender to speed on
the pump, and McNaught found a way to examine the hold
and determine how the water had rushed in,,
"Sea cocks open, all right," he reported a minute later,
then added tumultuously. "I was right— a hundred and ten
cases of hootch in the hold! She was huckstering the stuff,
all right, this boat was! What about her?" he nodded toward
the dead girl.
"Get another boat from the 'Samoset,' " directed Kennedy
quietly. "I want the men to lift the body off on it, take
it ashore to the St. Charles Hospital. Have them call up
my friend Sister Marie there, get the ambulance down, and
then get in touch with Coroner Gibson. Walter and I will
taxi our airboat around through the breakwater and up the
harbor to our landing stage. We'll be up to the hospital
by the time you get there. Have your men get the 'Gigolo'
afloat, if they can, but leave everything untouched on it as
far as possible. I'm taking along this stuff I collected in
the cabin."
I realized that our flying boat jaunt was at an end as we
faced the problem of how Lola Langhorne was killed and
by whom.
CHAPTER II.
Volcanic Youth
{t"T\ OCTOR, I wouldn't presume to intrude on your
1 rights as coroner and as a physician in Harbor
"^^^ County," ingratiated Kennedy when a few minutes
later we arrived at the St. Charles Hospital.
McNaught had done everything as instructed. The body
was there; Sister Marie, the nurse, was waiting; Doctor Gib-
son, the coroner, was waiting. But McNaught himself was
not waiting. He had disappeared somewhere on some mission.
"Have you had a chance to look at the body, Doctor?"
"Yes. I know the girl — ;Lola Langhorne."
"What, so far, do you think of the cause of death?"
"Not drowned. We know that. I have McNaught's story,
too."
"No," agreed Kennedy, "not drowned."
"Not killed by a gun or by force," eliminated the doctor.
"No," agreed Kennedy again.
"What then?" The alternatives fairly bubbled from the
coroner's lips as if he would show these city crime-doctors
how they handled things out in the country. It was merely
a rhetorical question. "I'm analyzing the stomach contents
for a poison." He answered his own query in a manner that
showed he needed no help from outside.
Kennedy nodded. "You'll let me know your findings?"
"Assuredly, Kennedy; only too glad to put you wise."
I had no time to comment or to ruminate on the bucolic
assurance that accepted these facts, this hideous green death
for instance, as a matter of course, and condescended so
blithely to inform Kennedy soon just how it all was. We
were interrupted by another of the sisters who informed us
that McNaught was in the waiting room with a young lady
and wished to see us.
Kennedy gravely thanked the coroner who returned to his
autopsy and we found McNaught now accompanied by a
flashily dressed young person who might have been pretty
if she had left even some of the artificialities to older women.
"I didn't tell you, Kennedy, although I may have hinted
at it, but I had brought out my informant and had her down
at the Shore Inn. I thought you might like to hear what
Miss Mazie Mellish has to say, first hand. I believe she knows
some of the people that may be involved in this affair better
than anyone else."
Mazie laughed. Among many things that Maize was not,
she was not embarrassed. Even the calm of the hospital and
the quiet, devoted sisters did not embarrass this volcanic
young person. I saw she was looking at Craig's hands as
well as mine.
"If you boys want a real manicure, come up to the Hotel
Monte Carlo — in the barber shop. That's my business. Get
me? I'm there — "
"Just a minute, Mazie," interrupted McNaught. "Let's
not discuss business — yet. You will remember, Kennedy —
certainly Jameson will, anyway, from being on the 'Star' —
about the reported disappearance of a Trixie Dare — "
"Trix was manicurist in the beauty parlor at the Monte
Carlo," interrupted Mazie. "Some kid — jazz crazy!"
"Of course, you knew this Trixie Dare?" prompted Craig
to hasten getting down to the facts.
"Sure! You bet I did. Didn't I take her down to the
Golden Glades, myself?"
I WAS interested in that. The Golden Glades had been
raided only a few days before and I had written it up
for the "Star," village flappers, college chaps and all. I
studied Mazie. Why was she telling anything to McNaught?
I have been on enough of Kennedy's cases to realize that
there is a reason back of everything people do, though some
don't even know it themselves. Mazie's motive was that
which fires a good many of the crimes and most of the petty
meannesses of women — jealousy — in this case of a girl prettier
than herself.
"So, you took her to the Golden Glades," encouraged Craig.
Mazie's face clouded. "I ought to-a-known better! I
introduced her to my boy friend — and I lost him!"
There was vexation over her tactical and unusual error.
When girls pal, if one is as pretty as Mazie, the other is
usually fat enough for the reduction works, the more espe-
cially if the girl expects to introduce her foil to the fellow.
Mazie was vexed really because she had not followed her
instinct. "How did that happen, Mazie?" asked Craig, pa-
tiently leading on to get the real story that might underlie the
tragedy on the boat.
Mazie chewed viciously at a small piece of gum, some-
times cleverly concealed in the back of her mouth. "Oh, I
just took Trix down to the Golden Glades a couple of times,
that's all. Trix was all dolled up, with her curly brown
hair and big blue ej^es. She just had all the boys after her
down there. She had a way with her, too. You know what
I mean. She had IT. . . .
"My boy-friend used to be head waiter down there. They
call him Don the Dude. His real name is Donate Benito
Donato. Well, he was a big, tall fellow, good looking, and
I liked him — but it's all off now. Do you know what that
guy did? As soon as he saw Trix with me, he came right
up. She got the attention; not me. What do you know
about that? But I ain't got them eyes — and my hair is
straight and black and shiny."
"You might add beautiful, too," smiled Craig.
"Quit kiddin'!" But I noticed she rubbed her shiny locks
to be sure they were arranged perfectly. "This Don the
Dude's quite a sport these days, some racket, see? He never
misses a fight at the Garden and he knows the name and
past performances of the ponies. But this last one he picked
is gointer be scratched, see?"
Her black eyes snapped. "We hadn't been in the Golden
Glades long that last night, see? — when it was raided, under-
stand?— by a bunch of reformers. Some association. I read
afterwards they was going after to end the tawdn^ tea-room
iniquity — whatever that is. It's a bunch that can't make a
living 'cept by watching what other people do and drawin'
a salary to stop 'em. . . .
"Now don't get impatient, Mr. McNaught, I'm tellin' this
in my own way. I'm comin' to the pointv I was sittin' with
Trix and this Don the Dude when these people crashed us.
But Don he led us out through a back way. I never knew
they had such an exit before. We got out into the back-
yard and from that into an alley. You bet we done some
hustlin'!
UT^ON just shoved us in a taxi with a driver who was a
*-J friend of his. But, say, you'd ought-a-seen another
couple rush up. It was that Lola Langhorne— maybe you
104-
read about her gettin' a divorce in the papers? She comes
up to the Monte Carlo Beauty Shop and Trix knows her.
And that young fellow, Eversley Barr, was with her. She
called him Ev. Well, they just naturally piled into the taxi,
too, and then this here, now, Jake Merck, that's the driver,
he looped it uptown as fast as he could and never got no
ticket, neither. Some driver!" She considered the reminis-
cence with animation. "We was all laughing and joking.
We had all jammed in in such a hurry, it was hard to tell
where our legs was or where they belonged. Believe me,
there wasn't nothing in its right place!"
"They went up to the Exclusive Club," interrupted
McNaught, to get back to the facts. "There was this Don
the Dude, Trix, Maize, Eversley Barr, Lola Langhorne, and,
when they go there they invited the driver in with them, this
Jake Merck."
"Yeh," resumed Mazie, eager to tell it herself. "We got
talking over the drinks, didn't even dance. Don says he's
had some money on a pony, a thirty-to-one shot, what fin-
ishes half a length ahead of the field and he's got $300. He's
rich. This Jake says he just had an offer of $450 for his
taxi and is gointer sell it in the morning. Well, then, Trix,
she says she has saved up $250 in the bank. Then they
got to talkin' what they had on 'em and the cash was forty-
five dollars, not countin' the checks. They said they was
rich — and I thought myself they was pretty well fixed be-
tween 'em — $1,045. Then Don, who's left off waitin' and is
a racketeer, says, 'Why work?' and the others says, 'But
how live?' and he says, 'Rum runnin', of course,' and they
says, 'That's all been broken tip; there ain't no more Rum
Row,' and he says 'Applesauce!'"
Mazie paused for breath and I paused to consider how the
raid to make Trix and Lola and the rest good had sent them
all wrong and killed one of them, so far, branded by the
reformers who saved their souls. Before Mazie could get
her second wind, McNaught took the floor.
"It was at this point that young Eversley Barr came into
the picture as I understand it. You know he has actually
an allowance of five thousand a month. He said he had a
friend on the bootleg curb market that hangs out around
a certain bank on Longacre Square who told him there were
a hundred thousand cases of good stuff on the docks at
Nassau — ten million dollars worth at New York prices.
Someone had told him that tankers were bringing in some
of it, at least ten thousand cases at a clip, and that there
was a little tramp steamer, named the 'All Alone,' under
Canadian registry, that could be bought and could carry
twenty thousand cases, maybe more. He told them this fellow
wanted him to go in on it and that the bank would finance it,
if Barr was in it.
UHPHE upshot was that Lola Langhore told them she had
A her little estate on St. James Harbor and a station wagon
and a sport car with the niftiest trunk on the baggage rack.
She said rum running was more sport than hunting big game
in Africa or the Arctic. Maybe she's right. Well, these
two crowds get together — and then another chap at the club,
Warner Davis, a sort of racketeer, only I don't yet make
out what his racket is, and his girl, Jean Bartow, like a gun-
moll — they all get together and form a partnership."
"Yeh — that's it," interrupted Mazie again, a little peeved
at not holding the center of the stage. "Don the Dude and
Trix, Ev and this Lola, they was havin' a great time over
the fortune they was gointer make in a hurry. They didn't
pay much attention to me. I wasn't in it. I ain't got two
hundred and fifty cents in no bank. And Don, he was groggy
over Trixie. . . . But I got something that they forgot
and that's my tongue. It wasn't long before I got the hunch
to blow the works to the prohibition enforcement for the
dirty deal that they was handin' me.
"They had plenty of hootch and the party got sloppy,
specially after this Warner Davis and Jean Bartow met
up with them. This Warner Davis was a good spender, jolly,
and he seemed to know everybody in town. He says he
could sell the stuff tonight with Jean, once it was landed, the
whole hundred thousand cases, and get more out of it than
anyone else. It wasn't long before this Warner Davis says
he will come in and go along on the trip and Jean was to
stay here and take the orders and keep 'em wised up and
all that. They had it all arranged down to spending the
money, see?"
"And did they actually go into it, all of them?" inquired
Kennedy, at last seeing the full import of what McNaught
was getting at in the inception of this amateur rum-running
plot.
"Surest thing you know! But lissen. By this time Trix
began showing her claws to me and I won't take it from
no cat. We had an awful word battle and Don as much as
told me I better beat it while the beatin's good. Huh! .1
was so mad I flings my gloves that I was carryin', the fingers,
right in Trix's face and I does beat it. You couldn't see me
for legs. . . . And the next thing I does one day when
I see Trix don't show up on her job no more, is to blow it
all to Mr. McNaught here, who says he'll wait till they
actually get back and do something, then he'll crash 'em, and
I'll get a reward, a job maybe in his unit, for spillin' the
dam' beans of these double-crossers!"
Mazie was genuinely angry now. "There ain't only that
cruiser of Eversley Barr in it and Lola Langhorne's station
wagon and sport car, but, later, they had to have a dock and
a barn or some place to store the stuff and they took in little
Judy Hancock, the daughter of the banker, J. Kearney Han-
cock, with the big summer place at Nissequogue — oh, they
was all into it, this fast young set out this way, and that's
why I'm willin' to be out here — 'cause it all stole my boy-
friend off me, and they wasn't makin' no place in it for me,
anyhow."
McNaught winked sidewise. After all Mazie was no more
transparent than are the great international bankers. There
wasn't anything in it for her.
"And another thing," she tumbled out to make a complete
story of it, "you know this Judy Hancock had a mighty good
wireless on her place and the 'Gigolo' had a wireless. You
see, they was all set. Ev Barr was financin' and all the- girls
was crazy over him, anyhow, Lola Langhorne, Judy Han-
cock, even Trixie Dare. Say, I seen there was trouble comin'
— and I ducked — quick!"
A liveried chauffeur handed Kennedy a note. He read it,
crumpled it in his pocket and nodded, "No answer — except
I'll be there!"
I
CHAPTER III.
Thrills and Chills
T WAS little Judy Hancock," explained Kennedy
about the note a few minutes later when we had left
the hospital- and made an appointment to meet
McNaught later. "In some kind of trouble down at a lawyer's
office in the village. I knew her father, Kearney Hancock,
president of the Harbor County Bank out here, and a lot of
things in the city. It must be something to do with the case
or she wouldn't know where to find me. How fast news
spreads! I'd better see what it is and if I can help her."
It wasn't long before we met a very excited girl in the law
office on the second floor of the bank building. Judy was
undoubtedly pretty, scarcely more than in the debutante age,
with a mass of golden hair which she was constantly brushing
back with a small white hand in graceful, quick, nervous
actions.
"Mr. Kennedy," she blurted out, "I've been arrested by
revenuers in my car on the state road for carrying a case of
liquor! I gave a fictitious name. But they have the car and
of course when they look up the license number they'll find
my real name and all that. I left my diamonds as bail, but
they were kind enough to fingerprint me and let me out that
way because I was a girl. And the worst of it is the case of
hootch was planted on me at that!"
"Then why worry if it's a frameup?" I asked.
Judy smiled a wanly superior smile and turned to Craig.
"The trouble is, Mr. Kennedy, I've been in a rum-running
scheme all the time, just for the excitement of the thing. Ev
Barr told me there was no particular danger in it, so I went in,
just for a lark. But it seems as if we were wrong."
As I studied Judy, I couldn't help wondering at sweet sev-
enteen of today. Here was one little girl with unusual beauty,
wealth and social position. She lacked thrills and excitement.
The movies no longer supplied the thrills. She was blase on
racing cars, fast motor boats, aeroplanes, parties, scandal, ev-
erything. It was a splendid foundation on which a booze
broker might build a capable bootlegging accessory — and evi-
dently had done so. There was a thrill of smartness in defy-
ing the law. Now there was a chill of getting caught, rightly
or wrongly. Craig said nothing of what he already knew, but
just let her talk ahead.
"You see," she went on, "I started in by agreeing with Ev
to go down to our bungalow on Pine Beach and use my wire-
less about the time they expected a tanker outside the twelve
mile limit. Ev had a pretty good sending set on his 'Gigolo'
and they had a fine one, of course, on the tanker. We've
opened our town house and I had the run of the bungalow.
So I got in deeper and deeper. It was thrilling, y'know."
It must have been. She was nervously balling and unballing
her gloves, plucking at the fingers. "Mr. Jameson," she ap-
pealed to me, "you'll keep me out of the papers, won't you?
Do you know, I'm more afraid of Dad than the law! Somehow
or other I respect him — but the law ... I suppose I
shouldn't say it with all this talk of respect for law, but all
the very best people are laughing at the eighteenth command-
ment more than ever."
Craig looked at this seventeen-year-old girl in amazement.
His face quickly assumed a serious cast. "I'm glad you sent
for me, Judy. You're not the first person to see me on this
affair today. I know your father, and I feel that I ought to do
something to — lighten the blow. The Government is already
at work. Tell me frankly — is there anything that would drag
you into this murder of Lola Langhorne?" Kennedy paused,
looking at Judy with eyes that would not accept a, lie.
*

SHE startled. "Oh! . . . But of course you know about
that. I forgot. Of course. How would I have reached
you, otherwise?" She turned as if fascinated, then tremu-
lously spoke of her fears. "We were worried last night over
Lola not getting to shore. She had over a hundred cases on
the 'Gigolo,' Ev's boat, with Captain Ryder Smith. He's an
old fisherman down here that we got to run the cruiser. Ev's
out on the tanker. We were worried; no wordfrom Lola all
night; and a tip that a revenue boat was coming tomorrow.
Then I heard the gossip about the 'Gigolo' sunk and a revenue
boat standing by and a dead girl on the cruiser. Down at the
dock I heard it was Lola. And I heard they had some of
Dad's guns on the 'Gigolo', too!"
"Your father's guns?" repeated Kennedy. "How could that
be?"
"Easy enough. I suppose 'most anyone of them might have
got in the gun room at the bungalow," she answered glibly.
"But, Mr. Kennedy, I was worried over Dad's guns. So, 1
started up here to see our lawyer. I never looked at a thing
in my sport car but the gas. Then these revenuers stopped me
on the road, showed their badges, wanted to look over the car.
I was completely floored when they found a case of Scotch
under the cover where the extra rear seat is!"
She paused to convince us. "I didn't know it was there. I
told them it must have been a frame. But they only laughed.
'That's what they all say!' One of them was mighty fresh.
He said I was too pretty to get into trouble, that there was
something better than bootlegging, and tried to make a date
with me. I was more afraid of him than I was of either Dad
or the law!"
Judy's sophistication was only a cover, like many people
who like to be thought a great deal worse than they really are.
Under that cover she was almost in tears. "Oh, what a day it
has started out to be, Mr. Kennedy! To lose one ©f my girl
friends, to have the feeling that I'm some way to be mixed up
in her murder, and to be arrested for transporting a case of
Scotch I know nothing about — although it was our Scotch and
I might have been carrying it if I wanted to! Oh, why did I
agree with Ev to go into this thing? Ev fascinates me. You'll
help me, Mr. Kennedy? I feel as if I had enemies all around
me. Who would take father's guns and leave them on that
boat? Who would put that hootch in my car when we were
working like mad yesterday, last night and today to get the
stuff all landed — and away? Who wanted to get me arrested?
Who hates me that much?"
"Or who fears you that much?" corrected Kennedy. "Now,
you poor foolish little girl, you've been doing most of the talk-
ing, your way. Let me ask you who has been at the bungalow
since you have been lightering this stuff ashore? Who had a
chance to get the guns?"
"Oh, they was all into it, this fast
young set out this way, and that's
why I'm willin' — it stole my boy
friend off me."
Lif~\H, ALL of them," she answered hastily. "But Ev's out
yj on the tanker as supercargo, or whatever you call it.
You know, I told you we got a tip — at least Warner Davis did
— that a coast guard boat was due in this part of the Sound
tomorrow. So everybody was working hard to get all
the stuff ashore yesterday and today. We had four boats
(Continued on page 106)
\

The Gigolo Mystery
(Continued from page 105)
huckstering for us — that's what they call
it — huckstering, like it was garden truck
going into the city. Some excitement!"
"Four?" repeated Kennedy. "I thought
Barr's boat was to do all that."
"Yes — but this coast guard boat, you
know. I had a small motor boat, half
decked over, and this Jake Merck, the
chauffeur, who understands all about
gas engines said he would take it out to
the tanker, 'All Alone,' and bring in
some cases if someone would help him.
I think we would have landed it all if
this terrible — this murder hadn't hap-
pened on the 'Gigolo' which could carry
most and was fastest."
"Did you make any trips?" I asked,
seeing in it the story of a flapper rum-
runner.
"A couple of trips. Trixie Dare made
a couple, too. You know we could take
only about thirty cases on it. We've
been working five days, that is it would
have been, with today."
"Where's Jake Merck now? Thirty
cases didn't help much with the thou-
sands you had altogether."
"i know it. But we were going to
move along the coast somewhere else
if we had to. Warner Davis was getting
the low-down on that. I guess our tip
was no good. The revenue boat got
here a day ahead. Why, we decided it
was dangerous to leave the stuff in the
big garage down there at the bungalow.
So Jake got motor trucks and moved the
stuff to a warehouse in the city over on
the West Side. It's there now. But
Jake's gone."
"What other boats were there? What
of this Captain Ryder Smith?"
"Oh, he has a boat, the 'Alert,' sort
of a trawler. They say he's made a
lot of money running stuff in with it.
Oh, he's rich out of the game. Anyhow
when this tip came I told them about
Ryder Smith and they said to get him
even if it cost ten dollars a case for
lightering the stuff to shore. So we did.
Ev wanted to stay on the tanker so he
got Captain Smith to take the 'Gigolo.'
The crew of the trawler could handle
her and Warner Davis was in charge of
that. Jean Bartow, Warner's friend,
stayed at the bungalow with me at the
wireless but this last trip of the trawler,
Warner took her back with him. I had
the wireless alone. The last message I
received from the 'All Alone' was that
Lola and Captain Smith were bringing
in a hundred cases last night. They
never arrived. Instead the coast guard
picks up the 'Gigolo' and Lola is dead.
Captain Ryder Smith had disappeared.
Maybe he's been drowned."
"You said there were four boats
lightering the stuff in."
"Oh, yes. Well, out there on the All
Alone' they had a big motor dory. Don-
ato — this Don the Dude, as they call him
— -took that. Trixie Dare made some
trips with him but she quit. She's a
jealous cat, anyway. I hear she stole
Don from another girl in the first place.
Lola liked Don pretty well. He's a good
dancing man. In Paris they'd call him
the gigolo—not Ev's boat! Some of her
own medicine to Trixie!"
BUT, Judy," inquired Craig,
"What's this I hear about you
and Ev Barr? Didn't you take — er —
have any rival?"
Judy looked at him keenly, as if he
were uncomfortably close to guessing
her secret. "I haven't any affairs! Sup-
pose I do care for Ev Barr? Maybe he
is older than I am. Maybe he does keep
telling me we'll get married when I am
eighteen. What of it? Yes — the only
trouble is Ev's such a good fellow all
the girls adore him. Sure — Lola went
out with him more than I liked. I was
hoping Lola wouldn't go to Nassau on
the tanker with the rest — but she did —
along with Trixie and her dancing man.
I ought to have gone. I might have
kept Ev out of trouble. But what would
Dad have said to that?"
"All the girls cultivate Ev Barr, don't
they?" It was as if Kennedy had thrust
a knife in a wound and turned it around.
It troubled Judy to answer. It is
hard for a girl to admit that the man she
loves is a philanderer. It's too much
like saying, "I'm a simp to stand it —
but I can't help it."
"Oh," she mumured, "I guess even
this Jean Bartow had a crush on him.
She never said much about it — not before
me, anyhow. But she had his picture
and it used to make me mad to hear her
say, 'When Ev gets back from Nassau'
and so on. I don't think Ev even wrote
to her, except for a picture card or two.
I really think Ev cares for me and
wouldn't let me go to Nassau because
he didn't want me in danger on the
tanker. I've succeeded in getting into
enough danger though, it seems . . .
Still, I don't like even that name 'Gigolo'
on the cruiser. Ev's no gigolo — although
some of these other men look very much
like gigolos to me!"
"Don the Dude, for instance?" I sug-
gested.
She looked at me appraisingly. "Lola
fell for him," she said slowly. "How
hard I cannot say. Some of us are
queer."
"By the way," Kennedy recalled us
to the facts of the case, "the stuff's not
at the bungalow but in a warehouse?
Where?"
"On West Street. The broker told
Jake and the rest of us about it."
"The broker?"
"Yes. Deitz; in the Broadway and
Forty-second Street Building, the man
who put Ev wise to the hundred thou-
sand cases on the wharves in Nassau in
the first place."
We were leaving the Bank Building.
"I want you to go to the home of some
friend, some quiet home, Judy," admon-
ished Craig. Before many hours you
must tell the whole story to your father."
She shot a startled glance at Kennedy.
But there was no chance to remonstrate.
The grinding of the brakes of a car in-
terrupted that, as the man at the wheel
regarded Kennedy with a very chastened
and chagrinned expression on his face.
It was the coroner.
"Hello, Doctor. What did you find?"
"Kennedy," Dr. Gibson was speaking
slowly as if every word humbled him,
"I have performed many autopsies —
but never one like this. Analysis of the
stomach contents shows no trace of any
poison at all!"
"Yet she zvas poisoned!" I exclaimed.
"That green!"
"No marks of a needle?" asked Ken-
nedy too charitable to rub it in and en-
joy the medical man's discomfiture.
"I looked carefully. Not a mark of a
hypo."

tion and consultation with Mr. Popenoe,
the manager. Briefly, I thought I had
better opportunity as a free lance, and
in looking back feel I laid much of the
foundation on which my work has been
built through this change. That sounds
rather conceited, I know, but let me ex-
plain something which will make clear
just what I mean.
"This has to do with studio technique
and routine. In the beginning every
announcement that went out over the
air was written for us," we had to 'fol-
low copy' word for word, as a printer
would say. I didn't care for this, feel-
ing the announcer knew what he wanted
to say, could think for himself, and was
better able to express himself if allowed
a little latitude than if he had to follow
hard and fast speeches set down for him.
" \ S a Radio free lance in full charge
■£*- of Special programs presented
through stations WGL, WHN, WEE1,
VVNAC, WICC, WPCH, WCAO,
WDEL, WBRE, WFBM, WWRL,
WCAU, WPAP, WCBA and others, I
developed this idea, and before long
saw it adopted generally. Those were
the days, in case it has been forgotten,
when it was usual for announcer and
artists to foregather in the studio thirty
minutes before the broadcast was to be-
gin, determine what was to be presented,
and then and there make up the pro-
gram. Now, of course, each station
worthy the name has a continuity de-
partment, program department, a staff
of announcers, and technical heln
aplenty. More frequent broadcasts, the
danger of program duplications, higher
standards — a score of things have made
necessary a return to studio and station
formality, but I sometimes sigh for the
days we used to tear into the station,
collect the artists, find out their spe-
cialty, throw a switch, and go on the
air."
Following the Reading Railroad Rev-
ellers there was an immediate increase
in Radio programs, sponsored by adver-
tisers, and Brokenshire grew up with
these newly developed commercial pro-
grams, through his popularity becoming
the first announcer ever to appear in
vaudeville.
About this time Atlantic City seized
on Radio as a publicity medium through
the establishment of Station WPG, and
installed Brokenshire as studio manager.
Atlantic City had met Mr. Brokenshire,
when, as specially selected master of
ceremonies for the 1927 Beauty Pageant
(the first announcer to be so honored),
he had been loaned to the municipality,
and an immediate increase in popularity
for the station followed his regular ap-
pearances on WPG's wave.
"At the end of this contract," Nor-
man tells the story again, "I decided to
take a wife and a vacation. My mar-
riage followed a romance of four years,
which began when I met Miss Eunice
Schmidt, then- secretary of Mr. Glover, .
publicity manager of WJZ. It was
truly a Radio romance, .for she helped
me build many of the programs which
brought me that popularity I was so
happy to have, programs which included
the Reading Radio Revellers, the Record
Boys, Bonnie Laddies, and the like.
"We were married December 12th,
1927, and when my Atlantic City con-
tract expired, two weeks later, started
on a honeymoon which took us through
much of Europe and into the Levant,
where 1_ had opportunity to see the
work being done by my old organiza-
tion, the Near East Relief."

Paul Whiteman, "Music Master"
(Continued from page 11)
«<rP HE NEGROES brought their emotional music here from
-*■ Africa, willy-nilly, and again there is nothing typically
American about this music, although its characteristics have
proved far more popular than those of the American Indians,
and it has actually influenced modern jazz very decidedly.
"Neither can we appropriate those old English songs which
came across the ocean in the mouths of the convicts or the
cavaliers, as the case may be, nor those doleful Psalm tunes
recommended by the Puritans, nor the Creole music of New
Orleans, nor the Spanish and Oriental and cosmopolitan
melodies that found their way somehow into American life.
"All this music has become a part of the American music
of today, which is both acquisitive and adaptable but none of
it can be called our folk-music, however it may be changed,
for it lacks American origin. More than this, our conscious
composers of music have thus far been strongly influenced by
foreign models, and most of our so-called serious music is
frankly imitated.
"With characteristic energy and speed America went through
the whole cycle of European musical development in the space
of a few years, and much of this has actually gone on simul-
taneously. In other words, we went through our classic, our
romantic and our modern stages of composition all at once,
and all with our ears consciously trained on European models.
"This, then, was not in any sense an American musical
education but merely a traditional development of the German,
French or Italian style, of various periods, correctly written
and studied by Americans. Even our most famous composer,
and the one generally regarded as most characteristically
American, Edward MacDowell, wrote in the manner of a
Scotchman, which was natural since he was of Celtic descent.
" \ SSUREDLY the modern manner of American life is dif-
-i*- ferent from what one finds in other parts of the globe.
It was inevitable that this restless energy, this naive enjoy-
ment of the obvious, this simple, straight-forward vulgarity, if
you will, should eventually find some musical expression.
"It is that expression which has been developed from rag-
time into jazz, and from jazz into that still more significant
national idiom of today which is being interpreted in its highest
phase — ■ and introduced as American folk-music, by Paul
Whiteman. And this same expression has already found such
individual creators as George Gershwin, Leo Sowerby, East-
wood Lane, Deems Taylor, Ferde Grofe and others.
"Fundamentally it will be found that the popular music
of America today — the Whiteman brand of music — has all the
most striking characteristics of the other great folk-music of
the world. It is predominately spontaneous, impromptu, act-
ually improvised to a great extent. In the older jazz orchestras
no player would ever read from notes. They learned their
tunes by 'ear' and then harmonized and colored them to suit
themselves.
"There is also in America's new folk-music that peculiar
neutrality of mode, being neither major nor minor, which is
found not only among the Negroes, but in practically all sav-
age tribes. Gershwin uses it effectively in his 'Rhapsody in
Blue,' and again in his Concerto in F. It appears also even in
the sophisticated work of Stravinsky and other moderns of the
classic school. Finally there is the abundance of instrumental
color, which, with our individual rhythms, was designated by
Maurice Ravel as America's most important contribution to
musical literature.
"It is in the Paul Whiteman orchestra that this instrumental
coloring finds its full expression and scope. For want of a
better name — since like the new-born babe that it is, it is still
namelesn -we have come to call it 'Jazz.' It is a species of
barbarism yet dressed in the garb of the most elaborate mod-
ernism.
"From these fundamentals, an honest American music of
the future is sure to rise. We may bewail the cheapness, the
obviousness, the frank vulgarity of many of our popular tunes.
But it is just as well to remember that the other folk music
of the world also went through these stages of development
and that what eventually remained was pure beauty of the most
impressive kind, a beauty which trained musicans have been
glad to incorporate in their complex creations, and which
really gave light and vigor to our best examples of conscious
musical art.
PAUL WHITEMAN, using the phonograph, the radio, the
tone producing motion picture, the classic concert hall as
instruments of world wide musical education, has attracted the
eye of the academic world and the academic ear is today at-
tuned to catch the value of his every presentation.
In this picture yesterday's Jazz King disappears and today's
Music Master of the Masses makes his bow before the Ameri-
can public. There are biographical reasons for this seeming
metamorphose.
It is our intention to view Paul Whiteman and his life work
in this new light, however, before considering the reasons
for it.
It was Paul Whiteman who first dared to bring jazz music
into the leading concert halls of America. At the time of his
"great experiment," as he calls it, he confided his intention in
the strictest secrecy to a well-known classical musican, who
was his mentor and his friend. That friend, like all the rest
of the world at the moment, was aghast at the very idea of
such audacity. Whiteman quotes him as exploding:
"What! An all jazz concert — and in Aeolian hall? Why,
my boy, it simply can't be done! You mustn't try it. It would
ruin you. You have your future to think of — and your reputa-
tion. So far you've been getting on splendidly with your dance
music and if you watch your step, you will undoubtedly be
able to hoard away a good smart sum while the vogue lasts.
But a jazz concert! Honestly, my boy, I'm afraid you've got
softening of the brain. Be guided by me in this — forget it, and
you will never regret it."
But as everyone knows Whiteman did not heed this friendly
advice. Since then Whiteman concerts, in what critics once
called the "perfumed purlius" of Aeolian, Carnegie and other
classic halls have become seasonal advents. And recently Gil-
bert Seldes, author of "The Seven Lively Arts," reviewing
American Music in the Concert Hall harps back to that daring
experiment, admitting that his subject matter must needs be-
gin there. He reflects:
"As far as is known, the first jazz concert in the world was
played by Paul Whiteman at Aeolian hall, New York City,
on February 12th, 1924.
" A LTHOUGH the musicians in Europe had for years been
■il praising American popular music, although Darius Mil-
haud had been studying jazz orchestration and Stravinsky had
written a rag-time, Americans knew the material too well to be
much impressed by it. It never occurred to anyone that our
popular music, our syncopated dance tunes, our jazz orchestras
had musical interests.
"On this account I sympathize with Mr. Whiteman in his
effort to eliminate the word 'jazz' although in general I think
it would be better for us to eliminate instead our prejudices
against that name. The confusions around the word 'jazz' are
so many that a few simple propositions may be used to clear
the atmosphere.
1. There is no such thing as jazz music.
2. Jazz is a method of playing music.
3. The original jazz is now known as 'sour music'
It has points in its favor, but it has little to do with
the American music of the present day.
4. The present American popular music is a grow-
ing, developing and changing thing.
5. Until recently the method of jazz has been ap-
plied almost exclusively to one kind of music — music
for the dance.
6. The instruments of the jazz band are wholly
legitimate and the uses to which they are put create
genuine music.
7. The jazz band is in reality a small orchestra.
"Of these propositions the first is fundamental. It means
that whether you call it vulgar or refined, you are compelled
by the facts to recognize the work of a conductor like White-
man as music. If you take the themes from Verdi's 'II Trova-
tore' and make a piano arrangement or put Isolde's melody
into the flute when you play the Liebestod from Tristan at a
symphony concert, you are doing essentially the same thing
as Whiteman does when he takes Limehouse Blues* and has it
rearranged for his particular group of instruments.
"It has been the general superstition that all you needed to
do in order to 'jazz' a piece of music, was to debase it. The
truth is that eighty-five percent of the music used by White-
man is first made musically interesting by the treatment he
gives it.
"/^VNCE you have separated the music from the treatment,
yj the full significance of our current popular way of mak-
ing music becomes clear. Until a few years ago most of the
music played by jazz orchestras was music written to be
danced. Sometimes a purely melodious song was adapted for
dancing; sometimes an operatic air. But in the main the object
was to provide one-steps and fox-trots.
"This accounts for the monotony which non-dancers object
to and it also accounts for the harmonic weakness of our pop-
ular music — because when you dance you must learn one thing
— a spirited and specific beat; and when you dance you are
indifferent to harmony.
"On the other hand, the development of the orchestra has
been so rich that it was possible for the music critic of the
New York World, Deems Taylor, himself a notable American
composer, to say that Whiteman probably knows more about a
small orchestra than Richard Strauss.

(Continued from page 41)
AND another question frequently asked which should be
disposed of here is, "How does it happen that Radio
programs are always just the right length?"
That's just another little detail for which the program
director is responsible. The programs must begin and end
exactly on the dot. Every tick of the clock means cold cash
when a Radio program is on the air — this is especially true of
a chain program. To run over or under ten, fifteen or twenty
seconds is a serious matter for the concern paying for the
time. The minutes are sold to the advertisers just as lines
of agate type measure are sold to a magazine or newspaper
space buyer.
The program director is a "time-keeper," Mr. Hitchcock
might have added. Usually the program is arranged so that
toward the end there is some elasticity, where a verse of
song may be added or deleted or a few bars of music may
be added or subtracted. Then the final announcement is
capable of contraction, and as the result of constant prac-
tice it is possible to gauge quite accurately the exact instant
the last word will be said.
Just as the microphone is kind to some and heartless to
others, so some of the great and near-great like "Mike" and
treat him like an old friend, while others tremble as they
stand on the threshold of the studio. Fanny Brice is one of
the great stars of the stage who seems to have a natural
knack of broadcasting her personality, as is Al Jolson, Buddy
Doyle, Olive Kline, and a host of others. Eleanor Painter
is typical of a great many entertainers who have conquered
their fear of the unseen audience after the first few terrible
minutes. Charles Hackett, Eddie Cantor, Al Hermann, Wen-
dell Hall, Maria Kurenko, the Frohne Sisters and many others
are examples of the imposing array of widely varied talent
assembled in the broadcast studios who get along well with
"Mike."
Many another star and team, comedy and serious, have
given way to a very real "Mike Fright" on their first appear-
ance in the studio, in spite of careful rehearsals. James J.
Corbett, who faced many a tough foe in his active years in
the fight ring, nearly took the count on the occasion of his
first appearance over the air. Captain Irving O'Hay found
that the microphone was one thing that "got his goat," thus
joining the ranks of those from nearly every field of activity,
as George Jessel, Webber and Fields, The Kentucky Jubilee
Choir, Charlotte Woodruff and John Charles Thomas.
One question that I am frequently asked is, "How do the
stage stars like to broadcast?"
The best answer that I can think of to that question is to
say that some people claim to like spinach. Personally, I
believe no one has any particular gastronomic craving for that
vegetable. Neither do I think that the average stage celebrity
views the microphone with a natural desire for a second
helping.
Another little sketch about Raymond Hitchcock may serve
to illustrate this point.
"Hitchy" is a joy to work with in a broadcasting studio.
He has a genuinely comic air personally — is a perfect clown
of the air. During one of the several broadcasts on which
we have worked together and just prior to his microphone
appearance, I asked him if he was nervous. His reply was
typical of the man, "Nervous! Course I'm nervous — I'm
always scared of the darned thing!" Perhaps he is, for he
starts to speak — hesitates — stammers — loses his place in the
script — makes up something — chases his monocle down the
length of its ribbon to find it hiding between his vest and
shirt-front — lets out an occasional grunt and gives the air
audience the impression that he is struggling to suppress his
embarrassment over an idiotic situation.
As you watch him in the studio you want to laugh at,
and with, the man. The microphone relays this buffoonery
(everything except the chasing of the monocle) successfully
to the listeners (or as "Hitchy" terms his invisible audience,
"the listen-in-ers"). He is a trustworthy air performer,
but every microphone appearance carries all the fears and
terrors of a first night show for this seasoned stage actor.
IT'S A pretty hard thing to ask an entertainer to face a
cold, impersonal microphone, even though he knows he is
playing to more people than he could hope to entertain in
ten years of capacity houses. As a help to the artists I sug-
gest to the featured player that he work physically to the
microphone and mentally to the small visible audience in the
studio.
As in the case of the spinach eater who comes back for
more because he believes it is good for him, so it is with
the stage celebrity who comes back to the broadcasting studio
for the second and third helping of wave lengths and kilo-
cycles. One reason for his return is the monetary con-
sideration. Another reason is that an air performance brings
his name before the public as no electric lights, no amount
of publicity or advertising could ever hope to do — which
means that he is creating a desire on the part of those gathered
about the loud-speakers to see him in person at the theatre.
In other words, it is good "box-office," although some theatri-
cal producers still refuse to permit their actors to broadcast.
Not all stage stars make good microphone subjects. Occa-
sionally they do a beautiful "flop" on the air.
A vaudeville headliner, whose name I will not mention,
was the featured artist of a Radio program which called for
the use of a script, or, as it is called in the studios, a con-
tinuity. Practically every Radio performance demands that
a script be followed in order that the timing be accurate as
well as to prevent the necessity of "ad libing," which has
frequently led to disastrous results.) The program had been
rehearsed, timed and was on the air. Everything progressed
smoothly until early in the hour (it was a full hour perform-
ance), the star was introduced at the microphone in a two-
minute dialogue with the other entertainers. This was done
to establish his presence to the air audience.
AFTER reading three or four lines from the script the star,
for no apparent reason at all, put the script aside and went
directly into his vaudeville act! It took me about ten min-
utes to get him back to the script only to have him pass up
everything again and return to his stage act. This time I
permitted him to go through with it as I saw he was in no
frame of mind to read lines.
As soon as he had finished his familiar routine he hurriedly
left the studio and I found myself, after some hasty calcula-
tions, about eight minutes short of material with which to
finish out the broadcast! Fortunately Radio talent came to
the rescue. The orchestra, a quartet and an individual per-
former working in the hour put on some extra numbers and
the air audience probably never knew that all was not serene
in the studio.
Just what was the matter with the actor I do not know,
but I have a sneaking idea it was a genuine case of "Mike
fright." And it was apparent to the microphone, for even
though this performer was putting over his own vaudeville
act, there was no spark of personality in his work when it
reached the loud-speakers throughout the country. Yet this
actor is a wonderful stage entertainer with a delightful stage
personality. Microphonically speaking, however, he was a
"flop" on the air.
The microphone is a great player of favorites. It either
likes or dislikes a personality instantly. I know of more
than one golden voiced opera singer who would do well to
eliminate the microphone from the list of even casual acquaint-
ances. On the other hand, I can introduce you to two prac-
tically unknown Radio entertainers, who depend on broad-
casting for their living, whose natural singing voices are so
husky that it hurts to listen to them but whose tones from the
loud-speaker of a Radio set are perfectly clear.
HERE'S a different story. An advertiser decided to use
more than one featured act for a special broadcast. The
rehearsal time was half over and one of the acts had failed
to materialize. A booking agent was called up and told to
locate another act immediately and have it "stand by." Before
the rehearsal was over the original act put in an appearance,
and in the excitement no one telephoned the office of the
booking agent until some time later when it was learned that
a certain actor, whose Radio ability was absolutely unknown,
was still "standing by." He was dismissed with a "thank
you," to which his reply over the 'phone was, "Oh, that's all
right, I was glad to do it and I hope you won't forget
me when the time comes that you can use me."
His telephone voice was pleasing and the graciousness
with which he accepted the situation led to an audition. About
four weeks after he had been called to "stand by" this young
man was made the featured artist on a commercial program
for the same advertiser. He was a Radio "find."
The microphone fell in love with his personality the moment
he opened his mouth. Outside the studio, in the control room
and in the reception room the hard-boiled station and chain
employees, as well as the great Radio audience who heard
the voice on the loud-speakers, were asking one another,
"Who is that?" He is the understudy for one of the fore-
most musical comedy stars in America? And the name of
this understudy is "Buddy" Doyle.
The old law of averages equalizes everything in the long
run. For every "flop" there is a "find."
The stage actor has many things to unlearn when he trans-
fers his personality from the theatre to the air. About ninety
per cent of an actor's visible performance depends on the
human voice, which should make the transfer to playing for
an invisible audience easy. But he is so accustomed to'
"throwing his voice" to those in the rear of the house that
it is a little difficult at first to impress him with the futility
of trying to reach the loud-speakers throughout the country
in the same manner.
HERE is the story of an actress who remodeled her vocal
attack at the microphone with genuine success at the
first trial. Florence Moore, that thorough^ competent

of not-really-sick-but-not-
really-well people make the
pilgrimage to French Lick
Springs, to drink the health-
impregnated waters that
abound here. Yearly the
same people return to their homes,
health and vitality restored by
the magic of Nature's own
medicine.
For hundreds of years
this famous spa has been
the rendezvous of the ail-
ing. The Indians knew
French Lick before the
white man came. Then the
early settlers discovered
the properties of the
waters, and they, too,
spread the fame of French
Lick far and wide. In re-
cent years French Lick has
become known throughout the
world as America's greatest health
resort — a spa comparable to those
at Aix, Vichy, Baden, Carlsbad,
in Europe.
• Unfortunately, a trip to French
Lick Springs is not within the
reach of all. And so, years ago,
the medical staff at the spa decid-
ed to make the health- giving
waters available to everyone.
The solution was a
simple one. It involved
fortifying and bottling
the water of the most
famous of the French
Lick Springs — Pluto.
Here it is fortified, placed in steri-
lized bottles, and shipped out to
drug stores in every section of
the country.
Pluto Water is recommended by
physicians, because it gently but
thoroughly washes the eliminative
tract clean of the waste substances
that are the underlying cause of ill
health. It acts quickly — thirty min-
utes to two hours — yet it cannot
gripe, cannot harm delicate tissues.
And since it is a pure, natural min-
eral water, it is non-habit-forming.
Its action is that of a wash — not an
intestinal stimulant.
Pluto Mineral Water, bottled
at French Lick, Indiana, is sold
at drug stores everywhere, and at

comedian of the vaudeville stage, depends almost entirely
on her voice to put her act across the footlights.
Her characterization of an awkward, loud-voiced newly-
rich matron, inclined to the making of wise-cracks and faux
pas, is a riot. In putting this character on the air I sug-
gested that she make this newly-rich matron of the intimate
gossipy type. She did so. In this way Miss Moore was able
to work close to the microphone, with the result that every
word came over distinctly and her characterization lost none
of its effectiveness through modulating the voice.
Had she worked with her stage voice, the microphone would
have been unable to handle the act with any degree of accuracy.
Sudden and uneven rushes of sound to the microphone cause
an overloading of the recording instruments, with a result
called "blasting the microphone." Every Radio fan prob-
ably has experienced at some time the sensation of expect-
ing his loud-speaker to burst into a million pieces when a
singer hit a strong top note that was not properly controlled.
It frequently happens that singers must change their posi-
tions at the microphone while working. Those who are
microphone wise know instinctively what to do. They have
the feel of their own voice and move forward as their volume
decreases and away from the microphone as it increases. To
adjust the volume of his voice Redfern Holinshead, the well-
known Radio tenor, with one foot well in advance, rocks his
body forward and back as though it were cradled.
The charming sisters, Nellie and Sara Kouns, divide the
little space in front of the microphone by keeping their faces
close together as they sing, with the result that their voices
always are heard perfectly blended.
Al Jolson, with his arms wide apart, or with hands clasped
before him, goes through his entire repertoire of stage ges-
tures and steps forward and back as the occasion demands.
Charlotte Woodruff stands in one position and turns her
head away from the microphone when "hitting a forte."
Singers who are making their debut in a broadcasting studio
frequently find themselves being shifted about by the pro-
gram director who tries to anticipate the volume of each
note before it arrives. The program director does not depend
entirely on his own ear to dictate the position of the per-
former. Through a window he watches the man at the con-
trol board for a nod of approbation or a signal to shift the
entertainer to a different position.
ELEANOR PAINTER, who graduated from musical com-
edy to opera, had never been inside a broadcasting studio
until she came to the rehearsal of a program I was directing.
Realizing the importance of broadcasting, she asked permis-
sion to go to the control room where she could hear the
audition of the other entertainers on the loud-speaker and
watch them through the window as they worked at the micro-
phone. She was an apt pupil, grasping the technique of the
microphone quickly and it was necessary to change her posi-
tion only once during her own rehearsal audition.
Miss Painter was to sing a group of songs in English
and close with "The Habanera," from Carmen, in Italian.
With the broadcast under way that night, Miss Painter was
being introduced by the master of ceremonies as I led her
forward.
She grasped my hand and whispered excitedly, "Don't you
dare leave me I" I couldn't have left her had I wanted to,
as she clutched my hand throughout the singing of the English
numbers, but when she started "The Habenera" she lost all
thought of her surroundings, dropped my hand, and sang this
flirtation song to the microphone as though it were a living
thing. She flirted with, and made eyes at and sang her very
heart out to "Mike." And "Mike" responded by delivering
a one hundred per cent Radio personality to every tuned-in
loud-speaker. "As ye give the microphone, so shall the loud-
speakers receive" was decidedly true in this instance.
One chain broadcasting company started a school for an-
nouncers but discontinued it after three or four sessions, as
they discovered the only successful way for an announcer
to work was the natural way. Instruction to all announcers
now consists of this lettle phrase, "Be Yourself."
The stage today is a little careless of its language and its
jokes. A joke that will bring a hearty laugh in the theater
will frequently shock the Radio listener. There's a reason
for that. The sanctity of the home is still something to be
revered. The word "Home" should and does mean a "clean
place in which to live." The wise-cracking comedian of the
stage sometimes forgets that when he faces a microphone
he is, via the loud-speakers, entering the most sacred of Amer-
ican institutions, the home. He is, figuratively, a guest, and
as such must govern his speech accordingly, being careful
not to insult the host or his intelligence.
One celebrity who made an off-color wise-crack during the
course of a program was practically ostracized from the air
for over a year. The lesson was well heeded by theatrical
talent, and the folk who earn their living by clowning are
guarding theii air reputations carefully.
WHICH reminds me of an occasion on which I was
beautifully "framed" by a pair of stage comics. Joe
Laurie, Jr., learned that the blackface comedian, Al Her-
mann, was to be the featured artist on one of my programs,
so he warned me that Hermann, whom I had never met, was
not always on the "up-and-up" with his jokes, and that I had
better watch him pretty closely.
When Hermann appeared for his rehearsal I told him that
he was scheduled for about five minutes of gagging and two
comedy songs. Al treated me to the finest collection of sug-
gestive stories that I had ever listened to, every now and then
interjecting a perfectly inane joke. It looked as though Joe
had been justified in his warning, so I scheduled Hermann
for four songs and two pitiful jokes. The night of the broad-
cast he got in front of the microphone and proceeded to tell
some of the funniest and cleanest gags I had ever heard,
after which he sang two songs and his time was up. Laurie
and Hermann had fixed the thing up to give me a "sleigh-
ride" and succeeded.
One rule of all broadcasts is that no personal messages be
delivered over the air. The local station sometimes does give
out personal messages and gets away with it, although it is
contrary to the federal edict. But the chain broadcaster uses
the telephone lines over which to carry his programs to distant
stations and therefore must be particularly cautious. This is
sometimes a difficult rule to impress on the mind of an
inexperienced Radio entertainer.
Occasionally a celebrity who has broadcast from local sta-
tions refuses to come to a rehearsal or to permit the pro-
gram director an interview prior to going on the air. The
secretary of one star in-formed me over the telephone that his
employer would give me fifteen minutes at the microphone
and nothing more, and then hung up. When he did appear
he broke nearly every known ethical and moral rule of broad-
casting. One of his offenses was to send personal greetings
to friends, whose names he started to read from a prepared
list. We succeeded in stopping this before he had gone very
far by starting a laugh among the other entertainers who were
listening in the studio. In some embarrassment the per-
former put away his list and continued with the act.
One of the ethical rules which this performer shattered
is one which many entertainers seem to think they have a
perfect right to break. This is to mention the merchandise
of other than products of the advertiser for whom they are
appearing. This is especially true of artists who make records
and of composers of popular music.
The national advertiser does not ask his entertainers to
endorse his products. He pays them to entertain. It is much
more dignified to permit the program announcer to read brief,
skillfully worded advertising copy both at the beginning and
the conclusion of his program than to force the attention
of the public to his merchandise during the entertainment
period. Therefore, he does not expect the artist to do for
himself what the advertiser refrains from doing.
Slowly but surely the featured artists are beginning to
respect these unwritten rules.
WHEN a recording artist is booked for a Radio appear-
ance the program director knows that his performer is
"mike wise." The microphone is used in the making of
records exactly as it is used for broadcasting. But even
the asset of being accustomed to working at a microphone
does not prevent strange things from happening. I think
the listening public thoroughly enjoyed the "gag" which the
well known recording artist, Gene Austin, unwittingly pulled
during one commercial program on which he was the fea-
tured entertainer. Gene was at his best and the script was
functioning nicely. Suddenly poor Gene lost his place and
started to repeat! Realizing that he had already sent the
same lines over the air he stopped and said, "Here — wait a
minute! Where was I?" It broke up the party for a moment
and I hope the listeners on the outside enjoyed the joke
on Gene as much as did those of us in the' studio.
In order to create the impression of having a large crowd
present in the studio, applause machines were tried out for.
a while with more or less success. These machines were
really glorified "clappers" — a combination of leather and wood
— each machine when operated by one person gave the im-
pression on the air of from twenty to fifty people applauding.
When Charles Hackett, the tenor from the Chicago Opera
Company, was the star of a commercial broadcast we had
three of these machines as well as several actual guests to
applaud.
Mr. Hackett was introduced to the machines prior to the
broadcast, as I feared the sight and sound of these artificial
hand clappers in the studio might made him think that our
real applause was not genuine! He examined one of the
"clappers" with great interest and continued to hold _ it in
his hand all during the first part of the program, shaking it
with much gusto whenever the works of other entertainers
called for applause. He gave it up just in time to remove
his coat, collar and tie prior to his own appearance at the

adopt Masonite Presdwood find that it gives their products both durability and
beauty. Samples for testing will be gladly supplied.
FOR DANCE

In a Denver dancing academy
the tap-tap-a-tap of metal tipped

coaches. And in scores of widely
varying industries, hundreds of products are be-
ing made better and at lower cost because of this
grainless wood.
Many of these Presdwood products require the
strength and durability that are indicated in the
service rendered at Denver. Used eight hours a
day at the Fred Merritt School of Tap Dancing,
the Presdwood floor showed no signs of wear,
even after weeks and weeks of usage. Other
Presdwood products may require smoothness and
ease of finishing — there, again, Presdwood is
ideal, as evidenced by its use for paneling . . .
not only in ceilings of railway coaches but in
fine homes and buildings as well.

Is easily cut
Beauty and lasting qualities are but a part of the
advantages of Masonite Presdwood. It is mois-

shrinking and buckling. It is extremely easy
to work with. It can be sawed,
punched, planed, milled or
sanded. It is liked by shop fore-
men, experienced with mate-
rials of all kinds, and is just as
welcome in homes where handy
men put up shelving or build a
radio cabinet. Wherever it is used it never harms
fine tools, for it contains no artificial binder.
Has wide range of uses
The uses of Presdwood are many and varied.
They range from bedroom screens to toys, from
motor truck bodies to hydroplane hulls, from
bread boxes to loud speaker tension boards, from
out-door signs to kitchen cabinets, from office par-
titions to billiard tables, from clothes hampers to
breakfast nooks.
Fully eighty of Presdwood's many uses, in in-

microphone. After the broadcast he
told me he would like to install a few
of these machines in the Chicago Audi-
torium.
Isa Kramer made her bow to the
Radio audience with complete serenity
in spite of the fact that she had seemed
to be under a somewhat nervous ten-
sion.
SOME of the stars are "trade marked"
with a theme song — or so it would
seem. Irene Franklyn always intro-
duces herself with a chorus of "Red
Head," the song that made her famous.
Some people expect to hear Frank
Crumit sing, "The Gay Cabalerro"
every time he is on the air.
Roy Evans is known as "The Syn-
copating Yodeling Man," that being the
title of one of his songs. Al Jolson
must do at least one "Mammy" number.
Eight years ago Fanny Brice sang
"My Man" for the first time in the
Ziegfeld Follies and for eight years
that song has identified her. During a
recent chain broadcast, Miss Brice de-
cided that eight years was long enough
to sing any song, so she omitted it
from her routine. At the conclusion of
the program the telephone operator at
the switchboard of the key station be-
came swamped with inquiries as to why
Miss Brice didn't sing "My Man."
Letters from all parts of the country
containing the. same inquiry poured in
for more than a week. But Miss Brice
says definitely that she is through sing-
ing. "My Man" — for a while, at least.
Like the good "showman" she is,
Miss Brice was quick to learn the value
of being intimate with the microphone.
She works easily and quietly, very close
to the companionable "Mike" and takes
the Radio audience into her confidence
with an occasional homely aside which
is naively delightful. While broadcast-
ing one night, her shoes, for some rea-
son, annoyed her and she kicked them
off. Then, she leaned up right close
to "Mike" and, in almost a whisper,
said, "I just kicked off my shoes —
whatcha know 'bout that!" And then
she gave a little chuckle, for all the
world likes a naughty child who has
just said something she shouldn't have
said. When other users of the micro-
phone learn to take their listeners into
their close confidence, then they will
have discovered the one great secret
of broadcasting — which, after all, is no
secret.
One of my pleasantest recollections
as a program director is of "giving
George Arliss the air." He unconsci-
ously caught the spirit of putting his
personality on the air at his first micro-
phone appearance.
When I met him about a week be-
fore he was scheduled to broadcast he
wanted to know what he could do to
amuse the Radio public. "I don't sing
and I don't crack jokes. I am essen-
tially a dramatic character actor. Do
you think I should give impersonations
of some of my characters?" While this
question was under consideration, Mr.
Arliss related some of his personal
experiences as an actor which led to
the suggestion that he use these anec-
dotes as material for his ten-minute
talk on the air.
WHEN he came to the studio on
the night of the broadcast accom-
panied by Mrs. Arliss, he told me that
he had his ten-minute talk all written
out. "And," he added, "it is just ten
minutes, I have timed it." I remem-
bered that I had impressed him with
the fact that the half-hour program was
timed to last exactly thirty minutes and
that I had allotted him one-third of the
period. I would that all entertainers
were as punctilious as Mr. Arliss. When
the time for his part in the program
approached, he was to all appearances
the actor in the wings awaiting his cue,
and he told me later he had all the
sensations of taking part in a first night
performance. He read his reminis-
cences in that easy, gracious way of his
just as though he were talking quietly
to a little group of friends. He held
the paper in both hands. He was work-
ing so quietly that the man from the
control board tiptoed into the studio
and put one of Mr. Arliss' arms care-
fully around the microphone standard
so that when he again held the paper
in his two hands it brought his mouth
closer to the microphone. If this
changing of his position annoyed the
actor, he did not show it, but continued
with his talk. To either the visible or
invisible audience, George Arliss brings
the same sincerity, the same gracious-
ness — a believeable, lovable, kindly
gentleman.
This man, who had never been in a
broadcasting station before, had learned
from experience with life, the best way,
the only real way to approach his fellow-
men. There's no secret about it — "Be
Yourself."

such a manner that the scratch of the
needle was an accompaniment for the
music. The station was considered one
of the most reliable of the day, but it
operated only two hours on alternate
nights. When the station had grown to
500 watts, it still had to have a 15-minute
period of silence after every hour of the
night program. Why? The transmitter
had to have a chance to rest and revive,
and the operator-announcer had to have
a chance to answer the telephone.
Listeners were as impatient as chil-
dren with Radio programs then. From
the time the concerts started, the fans
kept at the telephone with kicks and
compliments and requests.
AS LATE as two years ago when the
station proudly operated 75 hours
a week, program organization bore no
resemblance to the elaborate schedule on
which all entertainment now is based.
In those days — and they were rather
elegant days, too, in their way, programs
were put on rather much as they could
be fixed up.
Special hours were broadcast at the
same time every week. For instance,
the Crosley Jewelbox Hour went on
every Sunday night at 9:15. It was
supposed to last an hour, but if there
happened to be 75 minutes of music,
WLW just continued to broadcast the
concert until it was finished. And the
station's few commercial clients got five
or six minutes extra if the program
planned happened to be a little too long.
The next program? It just waited until
one was finished. If the mayor of Cin-
cinnati were scheduled to give a talk
at 8 P. M. and the preceding program
ran seven minutes past, the mayor pa-
tiently waited. Then if his talk took
15 minutes to present, the mayor could
keep right on with it — or he could cheat
the Radio audience by cutting down his
talk.
But now! Now WLW programs are
scheduled as accurately as the crack
railroad trains that must run on split
seconds. Every program — be it a three-
second time announcement or an hour-
long program fed to a whole chain of
Radio stations — is scheduled two days
before it is broadcast and is appointed
to its own studio with its own announcer
and its own operator on duty. And
those operators, following the rigid in-
structions given them, would cut the
President of the United States off in the
middle of a word if he should happen
to talk longer than his appointed time.
Before WLW's commercial business
necessitated such careful organization of
programs, an announcer would decide to
put one of his girl friends on for an after-
noon program. He would rustle up one
of the station's two or three control
room operators who would phone to the
transmitter to put it on the air. Fifteen
minutes later, the girl friend would do
her stunt. If two announcers decided to
put on a program at the same time, they
either fought it out as to who would
have first time, or they combined their
efforts and put on a "variety" program.
Anyone wrote announcements who had
an idea of what the perfect Radio pro-
gram should be. Most generally, how-
ever, the announcer either extemporized
or wrote his own announcements in ad-
vance of the program.
How different it all is now. Two
weeks ahead of every WLW presenta-
tion, its entire plan and musical program
must be in the program file after having
been submitted and approved by the
station director or his assistants. Sev-
enty-two hours before it is broadcast,
the continuity (that is, all the announce-
ments made during the program) must
be at hand to be passed out to enter-
tainers, announcer, control operator, and
presentation manager. Everyone con-
nected with the presentation must be
thoroughly familiar with all details
hours ahead of time. Every program
the least intricate or involved must be
rehearsed, not only once, but several
times before the Radio audience hears it.
ANNOUNCERS do little but read the
announcements on the air. The in-
formal programs, it is true, in some cases
are planned by the announcer and pro-
duction manager with the assistance of
the musical department. Commercial
programs, however, are written by con-
tinuity writers, trained in the planning
of Radio entertainment. Dramatic por-
tions of WLW's offerings are written
by experienced dramatists. Rural
sketches come from the pens of writers
who have spent years studying the types
they portray. Where educational talks
once were read by any announcer who
could find a book, university professors,
government officials, and experts in ali
lines of endeavor now are retained by
WLW to talk to the Radio audience on
their chosen subjects.
A pianist, two or three soloists, and
a banjo player once were considered an
adequate staff, if other musicians could
be depended upon to come out to the
studio once in a while to entertain for
fun.
Now WLW's weekly payroll includes
an entire concert orchestra that can be
called on to play at any time, and which
is supplemented nightly by almost as
many more musicians. On the station's
staff are male quartets, soloists of all
types, vocal and instrumental, special-
ists in all lines of comedy entertaining,
actors, speakers. As many more per-
formers appear occasionally.
The Radio ensemble from the Cincin-
nati Symphony orchestra plays at WLW
every week.
WLW furnishes Radio programs to
such stations as WOR, New York City;
WBBM and WLS, Chicago. Every
week it picks up an orchestra program
from Indianapolis, Indiana, 150 miles

The Balloon Junipers
(Continued from page S3)
HAVING decided, Calder-Wall lost no
time in becoming a go-getter. Within
a week he developed a positive genius in
devising ways of jazzing up the Skilli-
queechie Country Club and keeping it going
at a pace suited to the speed mania of Nata-
lie Geroux, who aided and abetted in every
form of idiocy he could conceive. He in-
vented weird gymkhanas, wild dance
figures, staged a game of polo with the
players driving their own automobiles and
filled a junk yard with wreckage and a
hospital with cripples. In his desire to
prove himself a go-getter to please Natalie
Geroux he developed unexpected talents.
In everything he was aided and abetted by
Natalie, who was spurred on by a desire to
avenge herself on Dick Kirkton. Dick
made the tactical blunder of refusing to
take part in any of what he called "idiotic
performances" and got credit for being
plain jealous.
The stunts these two invented drove the
older members of Skilliqueechie wild and
took many superfluous pounds, off dowagers
who attempted to follow the mad pace set
by the pair. There was no peace for any-
one. The Rocking Chair Fleet was herded
off the porches to join a rolling down hill
contest. Scores of portly members hid in
their lockers to avoid being dragged and
forced into a pig-a-back race, and the
Lawn Mower Marathon, in which each
member was to push a mower from the
first tee to the nineteenth hole, created a
furore.
Calder-Wall scored a distinct triumph in
the pogo stick contest. Rain had herded
the members into the clubhouse and
Calder-Wall, pursuing his avocation as a
go-getter, raided the caddy house and, se-
curing two dozen pogo sticks staged a pogo
stick figure during the afternoon dancing.
As Chairman of the House Committee I
made an effort to stop them before they
wrecked the floors and the furniture, only
to be branded as a "kill joy," ordered to go
fly my kite by Natalie and retreated when
she was backed by the elders.
The fact that they wrecked the interior
of the clubhouse and ruined the dancing
floor encouraged, rather than discouraged,
them. It was Natalie who proposed, at
ten o'clock that night the climaxing event
of the day. She challenged everyone to
race her five holes over the golf course on
pogo sticks and, before any protests could
be heard, she and Calder-Wall led their
followers out to the first tee and they
hopped off, jumping five holes over the
soggy fairways and greens. What the
Greens Committee, the players in the
Monthly handicap, and the grounds keeper
said when they found the entire course pit-
ted with holes five inches deep is omitted.
AFTER a strenuous month of go-getting,
during which Calder-Wall excelled
himself in inventiveness, he commenced to
slow down under the pace at which Natalie
was driving him. The Thrill a Minute she
demanded exhausted his imagination and he
announced that he was going away for a
week — at which Dick Kirkton brightened
considerably, and his golf showed immedi-
ate improvement. I "rawther" hoped, as
he would have said, that Calder-Wall would
not return, but he came back, ruddy and
glowing with enthusiasm.
"I say, old chap," he said exultingly, "I
have something new. I fawncy it will
please even Her Highness. Something rip-
ping, I assure you ! I fawncy it will re-
move the scales from the fossils, eh what?"
"I suppose you are planning to blow up
the clubhouse, or something nice and
pleasant like that?" I suggested insinuat-
ingly.
"Not at all, old fel'. Bit of a lark. Got
the idea from Towne. Ripping fella,
Towne ! No end clever ! Cawn't tell you
what it is. Wait until they come."
"Until who come?"
"Not who; they," he corrected. .
For two days an air of mystery hung
over Skilliqueechie. Calder-Wall refused
to tell even Natalie what the new stunt
might be. Then four large packing cases
arrived and Calder-Wall spent the morning
in a building back of the clubhouse, aided
by a dozen caddy boys. At lunch he was
glowing and excitedly triumphant, and, at
two o'clock a large gallery had assembled
on the lawn when he emerged from the
building and came floating around the
corner of the clubhouse, towed by a caddy.
Above his head floated a small sized balloon
from which he was half suspended in a
harness that fitted around his chest and
under his arms. The balloon was just
buoyant enough to lift him gently and he
bounced along, propelling himself upward
each time his feet touched the turf, rising
ten feet into the air and descending slowly
so that he covered the ground in giant leaps.
There was hand-clapping and laughing as
he released the caddy from the tow rope,
seized a chair to weight himself down and
beamed upon the gallery.
"Great sport, balloon jumping, you
know!" he said. "Jolly! Towne invented
it. The idea is to see who can jump
farthest. Tricky business in the breeze."
The crowd gathered around.
"I have six of them," Calder-Wall an-
nounced. "Couldn't get more on short
notice."
Young Pringle raced for the shed and
emerged harnessed in one of the devices.
He jumped, floated fifty yards before his
feet touched the ground, and jumped again.
"Great sport!" he called, as he tacked
into the breeze and jumped back to the
starting point.
CALDER-WALL beamed triumphantly.
"The idea, briefly," he explained, "is to
see how many jumps one can make nine
holes in. Requires practice, really. Beats
golf ; almost ! Try it this awfternoon.
Who enters?"
There was no doubt that the new stunt
created a furore in the club. The younger
members, led by Natalie, took turns during
the afternoon practicing jumping and
manipulating the balloons. At dinner every-
one was enthusiastic, excepting Dick Kirk-
ton, who sulked. Calder-Wall had out-
jumped all the contestants.
"Bit of an advantage," he admitted. My
balloon is a trifle larger than the others.
I'll have to take a handicap. You see I
weigh a bit over twelve stone and need
more lifting power. Really, I'm not trying
to fudge."
Calder-Wall experienced a triumph at
dinner. Even the Elders who had grouched
over some of his foolishments admitted he
had brought something new to Skilli-
queechie, something other clubs would envy
and, perhaps, imitate. Half the club mem-
bers were clamoring to enter the first
balloon jumping match which was arranged
for Saturday afternoon, and the excitement
was running high.
It was Natalie, naturally, who precipi-
tated events. On Thursday evening she and
Calder-Wall were dancing together. Dick
Kirkton, with a bad case of the sulks, was
sitting with the Elder Statesmen on the
porch listening to a discussion of the rela-
tive merits of the McKinley and the Ding-
ley tariffs and wishing a high protective
tariff against Calder-Walls had been
adopted.
While they were talking and smoking
Calder-Wall and Natalie danced out onto
the porch and danced past them. They stop-
ped at the head of the stairs leading down
to the lawn, talked animatedly an instant,
and Natalie grabbing Calder-Wall's hand,
raced down with him toward the caddy
house where the inflated balloons had been
parked for the night.
Dick Kirkton, pretending not to notice
them, was vaguely uneasy, wondering what
new form of idiocy the girl was leading
Calder-Wall into.
TEN minutes later there was a half sup-
pressed scream, ending in a squeak.
Dick startled, jumped to his feet and started
out into the darkness. Something dark was
moving among the trees. An instant later
Calder-Wall, puffing slightly, ran up the
clubhouse steps.
"I say, you fellas," he said, "come
quickly. Something has happened."
"What?" demanded Dick, grabbing him
by the arm. "If anything has happened to
Natalie . . ."
"But something has happened, you know,"
said Calder-Wall. "She flew away."
"She what?" Dick gripped his fingers
deep into Calder-Wall's arm.
"She flew away. It was dark and she got
my balloon by mistake. Beastly luck! I
weigh a hundred and seventy-five and she-
weighs a hundred and ten — and before 1
could grab her she flew away."
"Where is she now?" demanded Dick,
pale and shaken.
"Oh, she's quite all right, never fear. I'm
not certain where she is now. The lawst I
"saw of her she was over the apple trees on
the fourth fairway."
"Hell!" said Dick disgustedly. "Get some
of the fellows," he said to me. "Get some-
one with some sense, if possible. The wind
is from the Southwest and she may blow
out over the Sound."
"The Sound — Fawncy that !" said Calder-
Wall. "But I fawncy she will lodge in
some tree top. Beastly shame your trees
aren't as large as ours in England."
"Calder-Wall," said Dick, with tense
emphasis, "I haven't time just now to kick
you."
"Fawncy! Kick me! The blighter!"
said Calder-Wall, amazed.
Dick simply swore and raced for the
caddy house. He emerged in a moment,
towing one of the balloons, which he tied
to a runabout parked in the driveway, com-
mandeered it, and started out across the
fairways in the dark with the balloon
bounding along behind while I went to
raise the alarm in the clubhouse.
In two minutes everyone stopped dancing
and the news that Natalie had flown away
in the darkness was spread. Porches and
locker room were quickly deserted. Men in
dinner jackets, in knickers, in flannels, girls
in golf togs, dance frocks and dinner
gowns, the fat contingent from the Rock-
ing Chair Fleet, the crap shooters from the
locker room, the tired business men and the
Elder Statesmen were yelling advice, sug-
gesting plans and running into each other.
The night was dark and the rising breeze
was blowing toward the Sound. Every
minute some one wetted a finger, held it up.
tested the direction of the wind ancl
shouted :
"This way ! The wind will blow her this
direction."
No two appeared to agree on the direc-
tion. They rushed off into the darkness
and presently shouts for help were rising
from all parts of the course. Some were
hung up on wire fences, some were lost
in the rough, and some, rescued from water
hazards, were dragged, dripping, back to
the clubhouse to add to the din and the
excitement. Some genius had the fore-
thought to telephone the police and fire
departments of all the surrounding villages
and presently fire trucks and ladder wagons
commenced to arrive, amid cursing.
FIFTEEN minutes after the alarm was
raised Dick Kirkton raced up the drive-
way and drew me aside.
"She blew out of bounds and I can't fol-
low in that direction," he said. "I'm going

The Balloon Jumpers
(Continued from page 116)
around onto the North Shore. Meantime
you stick here and telephone all the people
you know in that direction to be watching
lor her."
The order sounded simple. I called the
Harris estate and got Jim. "Jim," I said,
"Natalie has flown away. Get out on the
lawn or on the roof and try to head her
off."
"Wow!" said Jim. "That brand of
hootch over at Skilliqueechie must be pow-
erful." Then he hung up and refused to
answer my calls.
The effort to arouse the North Shore
was discouraging. When I asked my
friends or acquaintances to climb out on
the roofs of their houses and catch Natalie
Geroux as she flew over they spoke pity-
ingly and advised me to stay out of the
locker room. The more insistent I became
the greater the mirth at the other end of
the wire. I grew canny and explained,
before starting, the fact of Natalie's flight
and asked for reports.
The first result was from a house party
at Great Neck. Great excitement was
caused there because several persons who
had staggered out onto the porch to cool
off rushed into the house declaring that a
woman, singing jazz, was floating over the
trees. The hostess had hastily dumped all
of the gin and sent for a new supply.
Fifteen minutes later I received a report
that a petting party of two, parked in an
auto, had fled into Glen Cove in panic,
declaring that a voice from Heaven had
descended upon them saying, "Hoo, hoo !
I see you."
Following that was a report that a
woman's slipper had fallen from the skies
into a group of men and women bidding
good night to their hostess at an estate
near Manhassett and that a voice had called
down: "Come on up; the air is fine."
TWO hours dragged by. Then, shortly
after midnight, the direction of the wind
changed and a stiff breeze commenced to
blow landward. Pursuers, who had com-
menced to return weary, bedraggled and
hopeless, gulped revivifying cocktails and,
leaping into the automobiles, resumed the
chase, patrolling all roads with orders to
call the club in case they sighted Natalie.
Ten minutes later an excited call came
from Millneck saying:
"Head her off. She just blew across
the road, coming your direction. She is
about fifty feet from the ground and going
fast."
We figured the direction of the wind
and calculated that, if she held her course,
Natalie would blow somewhere near Skilli-
queechie or just east of the course, and
sent fresh patrols out to watch the sky
to the northeast and to listen for calls
from the air.
By that time the entire North Shore was
alarmed. Every road was being patrolled
and at a score of estates the owners had
roused the servants, scattered them over
the grounds and sent others onto the roofs
with flashlights to signal into the air.
Calder-Wall, who had been running in
circles all over that section of the coun-
try, had returned to the club and slumped
onto a divan, so remorseful I almost felt
sorry for him. Suddenly a new idea was
born in his brain. He rushed at me.
"I say, old chap. Have you a gun?"
"A gun?" I asked, fearing suicide.
"Better go to the locker room and drink
poison."
"But, I say, you're spoofing," he replied.
"I want a gun, rifle, shotgun, anything. I
have an idea. If she flies overhead I will
shoot holes in the balloon and she will
descend."
Dick Kirkton ran into the club at that
minute and interrupted. His face was
drawn and anxious and he glared at Calder-
Wall as if he regretted not being able to
waste time in killing him.
"Where is a rope, clothesline or any-
thing?" he asked. "And," he added, point-
ing to Calder-Wall, lock this bird up be-
fore he does any more harm."
"Ha!" said Calder-Wall. "Quaint idea,
calling me a bird. Flying! Bird! Good!
I shall remember that."
DICK, a clothesline in his hand, raced
out of the club, jumped into his run-
about, turned it and drove out across the
grounds.
The wind was freshening and stars were
commencing to appear, while the moon
broke through rifts in the clouds. At
two o'clock there came a wild call from
Danziger.
"The balloon just crossed the road, com-
ing "straight toward Skilliqueechie. Nata-
lie's safe. I yelled at her and she called
down for you to have breakfast ready for
her."
Just then Calder-Wall, his eyes showing
determination, rushed through the lounge
carrying a shotgun and started on a run
down the eighteenth fairway. Seeing the
wild look in his eyes I dropped the tele-
phone and set out in pursuit. We were
half way down the eighteenth fairway and
near the tenth tee when a shout from the
lower end of the course came to us.
* "Here she comes."
"Which way?"
"Over here — Quick."
."She's going over. Too high to reach
her."
Calder-Wall, a wild gleam in his eyes,
sprinted across the rough in the direction
from which the shouts arose. A dark mass
came floating over the trees between the
fairways. The clouds were commencing
to break away and the moon shone through
a rift. I caught a glimpse of Natalie
Geroux, dangling below the balloon and
squirming as if trying to reverse her posi-
tion to seize the topmost branches of a
tree which her feet almost touched. I

The Balloon Junipers
(Continued from page 118)
had started .to run through the grove on
the direction of the course of the balloon,
and in hot pursuit of Calder-Wall, who
had disappeared- after falling into a sand
trap and rolling into the bushes when I
heard him shout.
"I say, Miss Geroux. Hold still a mo',
cawn't you? I'll have you right down."
He raised the gun and fired both bar-
rels. I heard a squeal from the air and
charged upon Calder-Wall as he was drop-
ping fresh cartridges into the gun and
directing Natalie to hold still.
"Fawncy — I missed the bally thing," he
exclaimed and was raising the gun to fire
again- when I made a flying tackle and
wrested the gun from his hands.
"I say," he said, sitting up> and adjust-
ing his monocle to glare at me. "You
shouldn't have done that, old fella! I'd
have had her down in half a mo' — "
I wasted no time arguing with him, but
scrambled to my feet and ran through the
grove in pursuit of the balloon with
Calder-Wall, puffing hard, crashing through
the underbrush behind me and calling upon
me to return his gun, assuring me he was a
better shot than I was.
We had lost sight of the balloon until
we emerged from the trees into the
eleventh fairway, just in time to witness
the climax of the pursuit. As we rushed
out into the open a small runabout, taking
the hazards with wild lurches, almost ran
us down, floundered through a sand trap,
climbed a cross bunker and raced after
the floating balloon, passing, under it and
stopping a couple of hundred yards ahead
of it. One of Calder- Wall's balloons was
swaying and bumping along behind the
automobile and, as the car stopped, it
rose over the car.
DICK KIRKTON, standing on the seat
of the runabout, was hastily adjust-
ing the straps around his body and under
his arms, and loosening the rope with which
it was tied to the machine. He had a
clothesline in one hand and, poised in the
car, he waited, timing the approach of
Natalie's craft, which was floating straight
toward him, forty feet in the air.
Just before the girl reached a point over
the little car Dick gave a great spring
upward. The balloon, lifting him, bumped
the one carrying the girl and caused it
to careen sideways.
The balloons were drifting apart Nata-
lie, swaying wildly from side to side as
her balloon lurched, cried out. Dick, mak-
ing a frantic grasp as she was being
whirled away from him, seized her by one
ankle. The balloons tugged against each
other, pulled them apart, but Dick, holding
her leg with one hand, clung to her and,
as his weight slowly overbalanced the lift-
ing power :>f the balloons, they started to
sink slowly toward the ground.
Well caught, old chap! Well caught!"
Calder-Wall cried, clapping his hands.
The rescue seemed complete and Calder-
Wall and I started forward to aid in the
descent. Dick Kirkton's actions caused
us to stop in surprise and stare through
the darkness. He had slipped the clothes-
line over Natalie's ankle, pulled the noose
tightly around it, released his grip and sank
toward the earth, while Natalie's balloon,
freed from the excess weight, started to
ascend again to the full length of the
clothesline, where she swayed gently back
and forth, safely tethered. Kirkton, seat-
ing- himself on the grass, freed his own
balloon and allowed it to float away into
the night.
"Oh, I say, what's the blighter doing?"
asked Calder-Wall, adjusting his monocle
and stopping just within earshot.
"Shut-up, Calder-Wall," I advised, grip-
ping his arm, "and listen to the way to
court Natalie, if you expect to win her."
"Oh, Dickie," said Natalie tremulously
from the air, "I'm. so glad. Haul me
down."
"I will when you promise to behave
yourself and marry me," said Dick firmly.
"PLEASE, Dicky. Pull me down, so
we can talk."
"If you don't promise, I'll let go the
rope," Dick said threateningly.
"I'll never speak to you again. You're
hateful. I hate you," sniffed Natalie.
This was interrupted by a little squeal
of fright as Dick, suddenly letting out
ten feet of slack rope, allowed her to
ascend quickly.
"Oh, Dicky! PLEASE!" cried Natalie
beseechingly.
"Then say 'Yes'," Dick demanded
firmly.
"I say, old fella," said Calder-Wall
with a little unsteadiness in his voice,
"Aren't we eavesdropping a bit?"
Rawther decent of Calder-Wall, I think,
considering all the circumstances, to retire
at that stage of the proceedings. I felt
a bit sorry for him as he withdrew quietly
into the shade of the grove and stumbled
toward the club house to assure the others
that Natalie was safe. Calder-Wall did
not say much during the walk through
the course — except :
"Strordinary, really," and "Fine gel. I
hope she'll be happy."
Half an hour after we reached the club
house Dick and Natalie drove up in the
runabout, towing the big balloon. How
long it took him to force the surrender
only they knew, but when they came out
on the porch, they seemed very happy,
and Natalie was herself again — only a
little subdued. Calder-Wall was first to
approach them, smiling, and Dick, grab-
bing his hand, shook it vigorously.
"Thanks, old Jelly Bean," said Dick.
"I owe you a lot. If it hadn't been for
your idiotic stunt I wouldn't be the world's
happiest man tonight, or rather this morn-
ing."
"Jelly Bean ! What a quaint Ameri-
canism ! I must remember to tell it to
the chaps at home."
"Home?" You're not going to leave us?
Why, I wanted you to stay and help ar-
range for our wedding," said Natalie.
"I fawncy I shall toddle along," said
Calder-Wall steadily. "Nothing to hang
around for now. Congrats and all that
sort of thing, you know."
Is America Jazz Mad?
(Continued from page 74)
hook-up of dominating Radio stations,
the Singers' programs will be heard each
week in every section of the United
States.
The Seiberling hour has become quite
familiar to the majority of listeners. In
the year that they have been on the air
the singers have become one of the most
famous groups of Radio performers.
But it is those who reiterate the cry,
"jazz mad," who are to be answered,
and silenced.
The cheers and hisses in the theatre
of the ether are heard by mail. If the
millions "out there" are listening-in, the
mail bags grow heavy. If they are stir-
red, the postoffice department is the first
to find it out. Hence there is an accurate
thermometer to indicate how high the
public temperature is running.
WHAT have the mail bags declared?
A short time ago the quartet sang
a selection that had never been sung be-
fore. It was Rachmaninoff's Prelude in
C Sharp Minor. Before the last glo-
rious note had died away, the telephone
at Station WEAF began to ring. Be-
fore the hour had signed off telegrams
had arrived. By the next afternoon the
first of several large waves of mail had
broken over the mail box. It was a hit.
The significant fact is that listeners
obviously were stirred by the perform-
ance. The quartet proved its claim to
distinction.
While the Rachmaninoff transcription
holds the record so far among the sin-
gers' successes, it is only a little ahead
of three other similar instances of their
musical alchemy — their rare perform-
ance of Kreisler's Caprice Viennois, or-
dinarily a violin solo, MacDowell's To
a Water Lily and Gershwin's Rhapsody
in Blue, which had been sung but once
before and never by part voices.
The fact that the Seiberling Singers,
under which title is included the quartet,
the Singing Violins, James Melton, ten-
or; Phil Ohman and Victor Arden, of
two-piano fame, and the two remarkable
orchestras — one a concert and the other
a salon group — are an aggregation of
masterly instrumentalists and vocalists,
strengthens the claim that America ap-
preciates the world's finest music and
CQmes back for more.
The list of successes is too long to be
given in full. Suffice it to say that mil-
lions dial the Seiberling hour every
Thursday evening to hear James Mel-
ton, tenor, sing such arias as Una Fur-
tiva Lagrima from Donizetti's L'Elisire
d'Arhore, La Reve, from Massenet's
Manon, O Paradiso, from L'africana, by
Meyerbeer, or such non-operatic delica-
cies as Cadman's I Hear a Thrush at
Eve.
One of the few unique instrumental
groups which have been on the air is
the Singing Violins. They have played
The Swan, by Saint Saens; Traumerei,
by Schumann; Deep River, The Rosary,
Carry Me Back to Old Virginny and
Meditation, from Massenet's Thais.
IT IS significant that in changing from
Tuesday to Thursday evenings the
Seiberling Singers acted in response to
thousands of requests from American
housewives, who asked that they go on
the air later in the week when the larger
share of home entertaining is done. At
the same time, the time of broadcasting
was put half an hour later in the eve-
ning— 9 to 9:30 p. m. Eastern Standard
time (8 to 8:30 p. m. Central Standard
time, 7 to 7:30 p. m. Mountain time, 6 to
6:30 p. m. Pacific Coast time) — to ac-
commodate Pacific coast listeners.
And now comes the final blow for
those who weep over American musical
taste.
As might be supposed — and has been
supposed — behind the rare transcrip-
tions that have earned these singers
their title of musical alchemists there is
a directing genius. He is Frank Black,
orchestral director of the period, and
one of the foremost of modern ar-
rangers and composers. By a jazz mad
America he would not even be sus-
pected. Fame would be reserved for
the beater of the tom-tom and glory for
the drummer.
These classical and semi-classical se-
lections which have drawn such over-
whelming approval from the great
audience of listeners stretching far
across the country indicate unmistak-
ably that America is not jazz mad, that
the finer things in music are appreciated
and preferred. And let this be the an-
swer to those perennial croakers who
deplore and regret our inferior tastes,
jazz madness looms conspicuously only
because it is alone in its sphere and does
not exist as a national trait. There may
be jazz mad Americans but America
itself is not jazz mad.

WLW, Nation's Station
(Continued from page 114)
away;, because that orchestra will lend
variety to its already varied programs.
The University of Cincinnati conducts
regular periods of up-to-date informa-
tion. In cooperation with the Ohio
state department of education, WLW
has been the medium for broadcasting
a whole semester of hour-long classes
for elementary and high schools.
Ohio river boat races, aeroplane derby
arrivals, battles between aeroplanes in
the clouds, pageants, Cincinnati's great
musical May Festival, horse races,
broadcasts from river boats, any and
every event that could interest curious
humanity is broadcast by WLW direct
from the scene of action.
Not the least of WLW's achieve-
ments in the eyes of its vast audience
have been the excellence of its many
commercial programs.
In the words again of Mr. Crosley,
"the first interest of the owner of a
station is to build the good will of its
audience. No one institution, even
though it could afford to do so, should
monopolize the air for its own aggran-
dizement."
WITH the idea in mind of building
the goodwill of its audience, WLW
thus has saved itself from descending to
programs in which advertising overpow-
ered entertainment. Nothing but pleased
comments come to WLW about its
sponsored programs. Indeed, these pro-
grams often are the most popular with
the WLW audience, which once, when
the sponsored program was a new thing,
saw the "doom of Radio broadcasting"
in the entertainment that created good-
will for anyone other than the owner of
the station.
That WLW will continue to grow is
promised by Mr. Crosley in this state-
ment:
"A vast audience such as ours has.
naturally placed on WLW a greater re-
sponsibility than has ever been attached
to any single station. ... In thousands
of communities WLW is practically the
only station used. This requires not
only a wide range of program features
— but a constant program throughout the
day and most of the night."
KOA Arcadians
(Continued from page 54)
IF_WE take the singers from left to
right, as they appear before the mi-
crophone, J. Allen Grubb, the tenor, will
occupy our- attention first. He is a big
man, with the muscular development so
often found in great singers. He has
appeared in concert in every state and
in all the larger cities in the country.
He maintains his own studio in Denver
and is a member of the faculty of the
Conservatory of Music at the State
Teachers college at Greeley, a short dis-
tance from Denver.
Next will come Mary Wood Beatty,
the soprano. She is small, and looking
at her reminds you of Alma Gluck. She
is young, but with her combination of
beauty and ability Denver is finding it
hard to keep from losing her to Chicago
and New York producers.
Lucile Fowler, the contralto, is next.
She, too, is young and pretty. It is con-
ceded by critics and musicians that she
is the outstanding contralto in all the
western region served by KOA. An
unusual versatility is hers. Her greatest
pleasure comes from operatic work, and
she has had ample experience along this
line, both with the KOA Light Opera
company and the Denver Music Week
association. Yet she can turn to popular

songs and give them a rendition that
Westerners maintain is unsurpassed.
Last in the line comes Clarence C.
Moore, the bass. Music has been his
hobby, rather than his life work, yet it
is hard to say which has engaged most of
his time, music 6r business. He has sung
leading roles in every Music Week opera
in the past several years. He is soloist
in one of Denver's largest churches.
And he has been featured as a soloist,
an actor and a choral singer at KOA
almost from the first day the station
went on the air.
THE accompanist forms no small part
of a singing group. Faye Roswell,
accompanist for the Arcadians, is con-
sidered ideal. She is Denver's busiest
pianist, taking part in no less than fifteen
programs a week at KOA. Sometimes
she is a soloist, at other times accompa-
nist, and again she is pianist with an
orchestra. It is a tribute to her ability
that she was chosen pianist for the Den-
ver Concert orchestra. She plays under
Rudolph Ganz and Henry Hadley in the
Elitch's Garden Symphony orchestra,

Brokenshire Has Experience
(Continued from page 106)
The thought of service attracted
Brokenshire again, and on his return to
New York he did special work for the
Near East Relief, lecturing and aiding
in the final campaign with added en-
thusiasm gained from a first hand
knowledge of the tremendous amount
of good resulting from the movement.
"But the lure of the microphone over-
came me," he says, "and after a prelim-
inary month with WCAU in Philadel-
phia to get an idea of chain broadcasting,
I joined the Columbia Broadcasting
System at WABC and know now that
I shall never wander from the fold
again. My mechanical instincts remain
— as a hobby; my artistic self finds out-
let in the creation of programs, the
writing of plays and the composition of
an occasional song; while there is a
thrill peculiar to itself in giving life
through the microphone to the work of
those who have written continuities for
the programs I announce, much as an
actor gives life on the stage to the char-
acters of the playwright's pen.
"T KNOW, in short, that I've struck
J- the thing that was just made for
me. The work is wonderful — how won-
derful it is hard to say. That little
microphone means nothing to you, out
there on the loud speaker end of the
radio circuit, but to me it is the most
highly sensitized and palpitating audi-
ence I have ever addressed. It lives
for me. It breathes for me. It is MY
audience."
So much for Brokenshire's own story,
which touches on Radio with but little
more emphasis than is given the details
of that background to which Radio owes
so much. Talking to the man, how-
ever, one is impressed by many things;
knowing him over a period of years one
comes to appreciate many things hidden
from the casual acquaintance, things of
which Broke himself is largely unaware.
And, looking back through Radio his-
tory and the files one recalls many lit-
tle incidents showing how much Radio
owes this pioneer, many things showing
the popularity he established during his
early days at WJZ has multiplied until
it has become a surprising thing.
For one thing, no one has ever heard
Broke join the frequent "panning par-
ties" from which Radio is no more free
than any other amusement field. He
is not petty or jealous, and if he has a
constructive bit of criticism for an artist
he believes in telling that artist, not in
slurring him behind his back.
His ability to carry on, to forget self
when on the air, is exemplified by an
evening at old WJZ, back in 1924. Broke
was announcing the "Bonnie Laddies,"
as musical and spontaneous a bit of
broadcasting as you could ask for. Stu-
dio formality was scarce in those days,
and a member of the staff entered,
handed Broke a telegram and walked
out. The message told him of his
father's death, but no one in the studio
that night, no one listening in, knew
it, for he contributed his usual repartee
and wit to the end of the period as usual.
"How did you do it?" we asked when
the studio had signed off and we knew
what the message had been.
"Who else was there to carry on?"
was the reply. "I had to do it. It was
sudden, and I went numb with the
shock, but my feelings had nothing to
do with the broadcast."
IT IS hard to place one's finger on
any one reason for Broke's popularity
with his audience, there are so many
points in his make-up which may be
credited, so many types in the audience
who like one or the other of his man-
nerisms or what not a little better than
others. His fan mail still pours in with
a volume threatening to disrupt office
routine, and as far back as his free lance
days he received more than 1,000 Christ-
mas cards every year. His letters come
from every corner of the country, and
on his trip abroad one of them, for-
warded from WPG and received in
Cairo, under a two-cent stamp, brought
him a diamond engagement ring.
Nor are the fans content to send
merely letters; they go in for a variety
of gifts as wide in range as are the
tastes of the Radio audience. Broke
still has, somewhere about the house, a
pair of hand made garters, and was
forced to decline another proffered gift
merely because an apartment hotel was
not exactly the proper place in which
to bring up an oak tree!
He has had letters from various
Brokenshires all over the world, asking
if there was any relationship between
the announcer and the fan, and so far
has traced every one of these inquirers
to his own family tree or to one other,
also of Canadian descent.
His biggest thrill, he says, was when
the city of Easton, Pa., held a "Norman
Brokenshire Day," at which Norman
appeared and entertained the crowds
which gathered from all around the
neighborhood. Special trolleys and
busses were run to Central Park, and
Norm declares that to realize he was
really enough of an attraction to create
so much interest was more of a thrill
than to realize there were literally mil-
lions of people listening to his voice as
he broadcast the Inaugural ceremonies
from Washington. "Of course," he con-
fides, "I wasn't exactly indifferent when
the orchestra leader at a Monte Carlo
hotel (they were then playing my song,
"Believe, My Beloved, in Me"), recog-
nized me as I sat at a table nearby, and
came over to have me sing that song for
them. That was when I was honey-
mooning, all of which contributed to
the thrill.
"As a matter of fact," he went on.
"there is so much of thrill in Radio it
is hard to pin one's self down to any
definite point. The reception to the
World Flyers at Mitchell Field, when
I first broke away from the old, hack-
neyed manner of announcement, stand-
ing beside the Prince of Wales, was a
decidedly thrilling moment. Then, too;
there was the Epinard-Zev race at Bel-
mont in 1924, incidentally the first race
ever described over the air, where 1
worked with Major J. Andrew White,
the greatest sports announcer we have
ever had, and who has passed his man-
tle on to Ted Husing.
"The most impressive broadcast I
ever handled, on the other hand, was
the Wilson Memorial, when for the
first time in history the House of Rep-
resentatives and the Senate of the
United States met in joint session to
honor the memory of a great leader. A
vitally interesting broadcast on which I
had the pleasure to work, also with
Major White, was the Democratic Na-
tional Convention in old Madison
Square Garden, in 1924. And when, in
1929, I covered my second Inaugural
and realized that, as great as the Radio
audience at the first Inaugural broadcast
had been, this one was a hundred times
as large, I must say I was thrilled
again."
And coming down to the present.
Brokenshire has another thrill in store
when he makes his first talking movie,
the Paramount Picture, "Glorifying the
American Girl," in which he appears as
master of ceremonies.

Each spring and summer our
expert grape buyers scour the
grape regions seeking the
healthiest, best-kept vineyards
— those that produce the larg-
est, juiciest Concord grapes.
The output of these vineyards is
contracted for in advance, and at
harvest time these prize Concord
Grapes are brought to our eleven
modern plants to be pressed and blend-
ed for making Grape Ola, the peppy
new grape drink.
New . . . diSerent . . . delicious. That's
Grape Ola! Cool, satisfying.
Vitamines A, B and C, abounding in
the Concord grape, come to you in Grape Ola. Not only
tastes good but is good — good for young and old.
It's REAL grape — with none of that unpleasant after-taste
common to imitation grape drinks made with artificial flavor
and color.
Grape Ola is scientifically blended by
our own formula from the pure juice
of luscious Concord grapes. Grape
Ola is dispensed at soda fountains
with sparkling carbonated water, and
sold everywhere as a zestful botded
carbonated beverage. You can identify
genuine Grape Ola by our distinctive
fountain dispenser, or by the trade
marked Grape Ola botde and crown.

I jL you could bring your rugs to us, we could show
you just how much dirt is in your floor coverings,
and where each kind of dirt lodges.
We could make clear, by scientific comparisons, just why
suction and sweeping and beating are each required to
remove one of the three types of dirt; and demonstrate,
by tests, how completely these methods, combined, will
remove all the dirt which your rugs harbor. In other
words, we could show you the science of The Hoover.
We could show you how The Hoover raises the rug from
the floor and beats out the destructive embedded grit; how
it sweeps up the clinging litter; and how its suction
carries the beaten-out, swept -up dirt into the dust bag.
But you cannot bring your rugs
to us.
So we send our representative
to you, in your home, to show
you the results of Hoover clean-
ing, to demonstrate on your rugs
the exclusive cleaning principle
of The Hoover, "Positive Agita-
tion," which enables it to remove
more dirt per minute than any other cleaner.
Our representative comes to you from the store of one of
the leading merchants in your community, and with the
endorsement of that merchant. He brings to you infor-
mation that will save you time and needless effort and
protect your rugs from destructive wear.
Because this information is of the greatest importance to
you, we hope you will see our representative and hear
what he has to tell you.
Telephone your local Hoover dealer for a demonstration.
