Quintuplets' Birthday Celebrate Third Birth-

day Anniver-sary

They Bring G(Lamour)

and Laughter

The last radio "holdout" among the famous stage comedians of this generation was signed for a series of radio programs over NBC when W. C. Fields wrote his name on the bottom of a contract which brings him to the Chase and Sanborn Hour for 16 weeks.

Another addition to the cast who will be heard every week is Dorothy Lamour, radio's "Glamour Girl," now starring on the Hollywood film lots.

For years the radio producers have been trying to entice W. C. Fields to a microphone. Only once before had he gone on the air and then it was a testimonial broadcast to a movie magnate. Never had he appeared on a commercial program.

To W. C. Filds, his first appear-ance on the Chase and Sanborn Hour in its premiere performance was more than just a radio pro-gram. For the better part of a year he had been ill in a hospital most of that time.

The significance of that first radio performance to the former star of

a long line of "Ziegfeld Follies" was freedom. It meant that he was back on the active list again. A rehearsal or two of the script

and the ambling Mr. Fields was ready to take on a longtime feud with Charlie McCarthy, Mr. Ber-gen's "dummy."

Fields will be heard every week in the Sunday broadcast over the NBC-Red Network including WLW

and WSM at 7:00 p.m. (E.S.T. . The regular lineup of the Chase and Sanborn Hour now includes Don A-meche as master-of-ceremorAs and dramatic star; W. C. Fields, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy in the comedy bracket; Dorothy Lamour, as a singer; and Werner Janssen as musical director. Ray Middleton, the young baritone who sang "All Points West' on the premiere program, will be heard frequently too.

RipplingRhythmM.C.

Bob Hope, bringing along with him his heckler-in-chief, Honey-chile, took over the Rippling Rhythm Revue on May 9. The weekly broadcasts, heard each Sunday over the NBC-Blue net-work, including WLW, KDKA, and WLS, at 8:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), feature Hope as master-of-cere-

monies and in comedy sketches with Honeychile.

Receive Presents From All Over the World

Listeners will be taken to Callan-

der, Ontario, for a visit to the Dionne

Quintuplets' third birthday anni-

versary party on Friday, May 28, from

5:30 to 6:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), over

the NBC-Red network, including

WCKY.

It is expected the voices of the

quins will be heard as they gather about their birthday cakes and play with the toys that have been sent them as presents from all parts of the world.

Student per-formers in the Mozart Quintet will be Helen Thacker and Jean Grubbs, violins; Fred Hendrickson and Betty Carr, violas, and Marin Beers, 'cello. They are members of the ensemble class of Alexander von Kreisler, con-ductor of the Conservatory orchestra.

lar woman commentator, airs her "Woman's Hour" Monday, May 29, at 8:30 a. m. (E.S.T.), she will have as her guest for an interview Miss Vera Delahunt, a representative of Lever Brothers, makers of Lux Soap.

WHY ALL THE SHOUTING? For better or worse American broadcasting is supported by revenue de-

rived from advertising. The chief "for better" feature of this arrange-ment is that it frees listeners from paying the license fees collected in other

countries where broadcasting is government-owned. But few will deny that the arrangement also has its "for worse" features. And one of the most annoying of these at the moment is the shouting announcer.

By that we mean the mike man who peddles his boxtops in a st indow-ra tiling bellow.

If anyone at the receiving end likes this style of announcing, the fact has escaped notice. Listeners have repeatedly expressed their disgust and irritation, not only verbally, but in letters to stations and radio publica-tions. Yet the practice continues.

Like most things in radio, shouting announcers are not new. They have been assaulting ear drums for the past several years. But, signifi-candy, their numbers seem to be increasing just now by the well-known leaps and bounds.

In all fairness it must be said that most announcers do not bellow by choice. Instead, sponsors have decreed the window-rattling technique. They recognize that most listeners pay scant attention to broadcast adver-tising. So they naively assume that this difficulty can be overcome by pounding blurbs into dialers' ears.

Of course nothing of the sort takes place. The only result of shouting is to change inattention to active hostility. That should be obvious to anyone who is familiar with the situation.

The shouting announcer seals his own doom by violating the funda-mentais of ordinary courtesy. His manners are as bad as those of the

house-to-house canvasser who puts his foot in the door. Such a canvasser may force one sale by such tactics. But the next time the door will not be opened.

That illustration is more than figurative. Radio is a peculiarly intimate medium of communication. Broadcasters are guests in the listener's home, who enter and remain only at the listener's sufferance. If they disregard the precepts of common courtesy a twist of the dial can exclude them. And this is just what happens to the shouting announcer.

However, giving him the door does not close the incident. His brief stay is remembered, unfavorably, by those whose hospitality he has abused. And this is the angle that might well be pondered by sponsors. Inattention to radio advertising is one thing. But active hostility to it is something else again. Getting attention only to incur resentment seems about as sensible as forsaking the frying pan for the fire.

Someone has remarked that radio sponsors can't sec the woods of lis-tener acceptance for the competitive trees. The shouting announcer would seem to confirm that. Because one sponsor's spokesmen began to shout, the rest shout louder.

Have they overlooked the fact that radios are still made with dials?

The Man on Page 13

Charles Egelston, featured on the "Uncle Ezra" program over WCKY and the NBC Red Network every Monday, Wed-nesday, and Friday at 6:15 p. m. (E.S.T.), is known to Cin-cinnati listeners as the "local boy who made good."

Egelston started his radio career on WCKY about the time that station first went on the air, in 1929. He did German dialect with the German band that was one of WCKY's open-ing features. As time went on Egelston found radio character acting right down his alley. He became increasingly in de-mand for dramatic roles and went to Chicago to become a member of the National Broadcasting Company's dramatic staff. In addition to his role of Hi Skinner in the "Uncle Ezra" series, Egelston plays the part of Shuffle Shober in the "Ma Perkins" serial and is in constant demand for, work in radio plays that are transcribed in Chicago for use on stations everywhere.

ENGLISH DERBY AT EPSOM DOWNS ON NBC Jim lightfield To Celebrate Twelfth

Anniversary On Air In Special Program On Sunday, May 30, Jim Lightfield

will celebrate his twelfth anniversary on the air when he directs a special two-hour program to be broadcast over WKRC, from 8 to 10 a. m (E.S.T.). The first half-hour of the program

will be dedicated to shut-ins, sick and disabled who are unable to attend church services. Under the leader-ship of Ard Hoven, who has been with Lightfield since he began on the air, a sketch illustrating the trials and trib-ulations of the Noble family while get-ting ready to attend church, will be presented. At 8:30, the Youth Education pro-

gram will be aired. In its fifth year over WKRC, this broadcast is de-signed specially for children under sixteen who have musical inclinations. At 9 o'clock, the Veteran Civic Hour, on which Judge Wm. E. Handley will act as master of ceremonies, will cele-brate its twelfth year as a civic enter-prise. The two hour broadcast will be concluded with a thirty-minute broad-cast by the Salvation Army, under the direction of Brigadier Fred Mapass. Jim Lighfield holds a distinction as

yet unclaimed by any other radio per-former, that of great-grandfather in active work on the air.

JIM LIGHTFIELD

The way the new Ameche-Fields-McCarthy show is skyrocketing, there is wondering whether one middle western sponsor is biting his nails— the one who turned down the op-portunity not so many months ago to put on much the same type of broadcast with Don Ameche as MC.

Veteran Drivers On Air

When WLW and the Mutual Broadcasting system broadcast the elimination trials at the In-dianapolis Speedway May 16, Joseph Ries, educational dire,c-tor of the Nation's Station, and Announcer Douglas Browning rounded up a few notables in the auto racing game and inter-viewed them for listeners. In

the picture, snapped during the interview, are, left to right, Ries, Gar Wood, famed speedboat driver and former auto race driver; Ray Harroun, who won the first 500-mile classic at Indianapolis in 1911; Browning; "Wild Bill" Cummings, who shattered two track records to win this year's pole position; Col. G. W. Her-rington, assistant starter, and Seth Klein, starter.

At 5:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), Saturday, May 29, Ries and Browning will interview Dick Merrill, who made aviation history during Coronation week when he made a round-trip flight to London from the United States, and Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation, sponsors of the annual Memorial Day classic.

Historic Event Dates Back

To 1780 More Than 350,000 Ex-

pected To Attend

The running of the world's most celebrated horse race, the English Derby at Epsom Downs, will be brought with all its breathless excite-ment to American listeners, Wednes-day, June 2, from 8:45 to 9:15 a. m. (E.S.T.), over the NBC-Blue net-work, including WCKY. The description of the classic,

short-waved by the British Broadcast-ing Corporation to NBC, will be made by commentators from several vantage points along the mile and a half horseshoe course. From the cry of "They're off" until the finish line is crossed, not a thrill of the historic race will be missed. The Derby this year is expected to

be the most colorful in its long his-tory, which began in 1780. More than 350,000 persons are expected to attend.

The Grace of Song

Lovely Grace Moore, star of radio, screen and opera, lifts her voice in song as she presents one of her programs heard over the WABC-Columbia network, including WKRC, WHAS, and WJR, Saturdays from 8:00 to 8:30 p. m.' (E.S.T.). Miss Moore is accompanied by Vincent Lopez' orchestra which offers popular melodies with the deft-fingered maestro playing piano specialties in his famous style.

The "Three Spades"

Being arrested and oven a ride in a patrol wagon started Jerry Daniels, the "ace of spades' of 'WSAI's "Three Spades" on his radio career, Jerry revealed, when this picture was made of the new Harlemesque trio.

In Indianapolis Jerry and several other Negro boys organized a street band. He was shining shoes at the time. They were playing one niglft on a street corner and had a large audience. Police arrested them for blocking traffic. On the way to the station in a patrol wagon the boys continued to play.

At a local theater the picture, "The Big House," was showing. Spectators thought the boys were advertising the picture and enjoyed it. The cops thought different and scowled.

In police court all the boys pleaded "not guilty" but Jerry, and he entered a plea of "guilty." The newspaper played it up and the following day Jerry Daniels and his boys were offered a job on an In-dianapolis station.

Out of the arrest grew the "King, Jack and Jesters," who were fea-tured on WLW and WSAI three years ago. Then came the NBC networks and a trip to England. Returning to the United States the group disbanded but Jerry returned to Indianapolis, talked to Albert and William Jen-nings, organized the Three Spades and a short time ago the trio came

to WSAL They are heard at 5:00

p. m. (E.S.T.), daily except Saturday

and Sunday over Cincinnati's Own

Station.

To Play at Ault Park

Buster Locke and his orchestra who recently completed a seven weeks' engagement in the Gib-son Rathskeller will furnish the music for dancers at the Dance Pavilion in Ault Park beginning June 5.

Terri La Franconi has a new spot over WCKY-NBC, from 11:00 to 11:15 a. m. (E.S.T.), each Wednes-day.

by The Cont

W ILMER S. SHEPHERD, JR., of Philadelphia, shows there are

almost as many angles of approaching a contest as a diamond has facets and each one as important within itself. One is Individuality of Thought.

He says: "Do not skip over a phrase like individuality of- thought. It may be tucked away in the rules, printed in small type and announced without fanfare or fireworks. But, in this brief fragment of a sentence, the sponsor divulges a powerful secret of winning.

"I regard Individuality as one of the most valuable aids to winning at your command. It is the one quality that will set your entries apart from and above the run-of-the-mill kind. The richer your entries are in Individ-uality, the greater your chances of winning. "The secret is" continues Mr. Shep-

herd "to be yourself, to write natur-ally—informally, intimately, as you would to a friend.

"Let us suppose that. you are about to write an entry about soap, sausage or soup. Or anything, from automo-biles to tacks. Here are some ques-tions to start the ball rolling.

The Product:

1. Does it fulfill the claims made for it?

2. How does it differ from similiar products?

3. Why is it superior to rival products ?

4. Does it have virtures that rival products do not have? What are they?

5. Does it have new virtures? More virtures? Exclusive ones?

6. Does it retain its virtures longer ?

7. Does it have special virtures that enable it to make good under adverse conditions ?

The Contestant:

I. Are you young or old. Married or single. Rich or poor?

2. What is your occupation? 3. Does the product lighten your

work. Brighten your leisure. Add to your comfort or pleasure? How?

4. Does every member of your fam-ily like the product?

5. Does the product contribute to your health, appearance, efficiency, success or happiness. How?

6. Does the product meet your special needs, handicaps or problems more efficiently than rival products.

7. Does the product help you at-tain conditions or things that you desire?

"Your answers to these questions combine to form your picture of the product and your testimonial regard-ing s excellence. When you weave into your entry some personalized touches. It is really Tour Entry, and not an imitation of the sponsors ad-vertising or of other entries. "The special virture of the prod-

est Reporter

uct that best meets your special needs, is the best upon which to dwell. Tell the sponsor how his product has con-tributed to your happiness in some definite way and you will pay him a powerful compliment—without having to resort to shopworn superlatives."

On any contest subject, Mr. Shep-herd's viewpoint is worthwhile, but somehow we feel you'll want to hang this one in full view before you when ),•ou undertake the next contest. It is quoted from June NUGGETS Monthly.

FROM MISSOURI

Recently, it was noted here that the Old Gold contest was not open to residents of Missouri. At the time we were not able to ascertain the reason,. but it's all clear now.

Sometime ago a large newspaper ran a contest of the same type and got tripped up in lottery charges by the Attorney General. Since the mat-ter had not been disposed of by the Court, Old Gold stayed out.

Now, according to TIDE, the mat-ter has been settled and Missouri will be included with her sister states in future contests. A special commis-sioner appointed by the Supreme Court stated: "The most important or dominating element in the con-test was that of skill."

CASH IN GLASS

Cash prizes of $3,200 are being offered by the Pittsburgh Glass Insti-tute for photographs of completed examples of glass used in architec-ture and decoration. $1,000 is the first prize with the balance in smaller awards. Open principally to arch-itects and decorators. Contest closes May 3Ist. Only photographs de-sired. More pictures: Hunting & Fishing

will pay $10, $5 and $3 each month for the three best sporting pictures. Details in magazine which is on new-stand sale. Complete description must accompany. "He who runs may read" is often

quoted, but they who ride may win, provided its on the Baltimore and Ohio. According to informant, The B. & O. is the first railroad to run a contest.

For best letters and snapshots, $1,000 in 61 prizes will be awarded. The subject: "My 1937 Vacation Out West." Entrants need not ride the B. & O., but must get official entry blank from them. We predict that some smart fellow is going to have the time of his life—and get paid for it. Closes Sept. 30th.

Products valued at $3,500 are being offered by the H. J. Heinz Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., for recipes, each to contain one or more Heinz products.

Entrants must give name of grocer and address where she trades and may submit as many recipes as desired

"Would you mind washing the baby's face, too?"

without making or showing evidence of purchase, however, only one prize /c) a person. Suggestions over Heinz Magazine of the Air, Monday, Wed-nesday and Friday, at 10:00 a. m. (E.S.T.), on Columbia network.

Ask the Butterick Co., of 161 Sixth Ave., New York for an entry blank in their new contest. 125 prizes. Or, you may get the blank from stores which sell Butterick patterns. Con-test closes June 25th.

First three prizes are all-expense trips to Europe and others are val-uable merchandise, such as electric sewing machines, radios, ironers, wash-ers, typewriters, cameras, hosiery, etc. It is a letter-writing contest with pur-chase requirement.

The latest dance craze, "Peckin' ", is being popularized by contests in various cities by Cab Calloway, who also introduces and demonstrates the number in his stage show. Cab will spend Fourth of July in Indianapolis.

Veteran contest enterers usually turn a fishy eye on the standard phrases found in all contests. For instance, there's the one that goes, "In case of ties, duplicate prizes will be awarded." Who ever heard of a set of judges not agreeing on the winners, and being forced to hand out extra prizes? The answer is: everyone who was listening to Linda's First Love last Friday.

Sponsor of the program, The Kro-ger Grocery & Baking Company, con-ducts a weekly contest with five Gruen watches as awards. Last week the judges were deadlocked over the first and second prizes. Instead of throwing away the letter at the bot-tom of their list of five, they added another watch to the week's prizes. Not very often does this happen, be-cause usually the top few letters stand out so far above the others there isn't much argument. But when it does happen the sponsor grins and bears the expense of some extra prizes.

Judges of this contest scoff at the idea of favoritism, geographical or otherwise, in awarding prizes. Each judge's decision is made "blind"— without knowing the names of the contestants, or the opinions of the other judges. Almost always, their decisions will give a clear-cut lead to the first five. When they don't— "duplicate prizes will be awarded!"

Phil Lord has been offered a fab-ulous sum for the use of the name "Gang Busters" as a title for a new parlor game.

Page 9: WEEK ENDING JUNE 3. 1937 · kowsky's "Nutcracker Suite" and the "Ride of the Valkyries" from "Die Walkure" by Wagner. ... Ken Ellington, assisted by a group of Chicago announcers

RADIO DIAL, WEEK ENDING. JUNE 3, 1937 9

- - - \ RADIO FAVORITES SHOOTING AND SHOT AT

Y T H E A

Biggest radio story of the week . .. the joining of WKRC and WSAI for the new commercial show "Hits of the Week" ... First time that local NBC and CBS out-lets have joined hands commer-cially. Somebody tried it last year for a laundry sponsor . . . wanted to ¡oin 'CPO, 'CKY, 'KRC and 'SAI but it was no go. The deal just couldn't be swung. But it's swung now. Of course, your as-tronomer attended the premier of the show Tuesday night at the WSAI downtown studios. It's a peach of a show, too ... Most of the radio lads turned out to listen and approve. All shows will be produced at 'SAI with a studio audience . . . and piped by line to WKRC.

e

A few letters from the east that Don Bécker is back in New York after a few months on the west coast. Don has been building tran-scribed shows and will now take a hand in selling them. Incidentally, Don's firm (Transamerican) controls the "For Men Only" show which used to be on WLW. The show was jerked from the Crosley sta-tion and moved to New York where talent and personalities are easier to find. The show will be aired out of WHN on the WLW line and Paul Sullivan, rumor has it, will probably go to New York to handle it.

• Summer used to be a bad time

for the radio lads and lassies. As commercials folded . . . jobs did, too. But it's a different story this year. Commercials aren't folding and two Cincy stations are looking for talent. WkRC is hot after a brace of announcers . . . program director Ruth Lyons is listening to dozens of 'em. And WCPO is on the lookout, so they say, for writ-ers, announcers, and what have you. Yes, sir ... it looks as though radio is here to stay!

• THUMBS UP: It's two thumbs

up really for the "Modernaires" WLW's new quartet. Like the

Smoothies, they used to be with Fred Waring and the Pennsylvan-ians . . . and like the Smoothies they're just about tops. Dial them soon ... they're well worth a listen.

• ALONG THE MILKY WAY:

Spotted WLW's dapper continuity chief Jim Krautters limping along Vine Street with a dislocated hip and a cane ... and on that same Thoroughfare, Helen Nugent, driv-ing a shiny new coupe . . . Word that Bob Trendier is featured on a new Mutual show. Charlie Damer-

ONOM

on and Ray Shannon write their own gags for their Spic and Span act . . . proving what . . . Dick Theis, following in his father's foot-steps at WLW. Jeff Dickerson sud-denly quits his post as continuity head at WCPO. John McCor-mick, WKRC's new general man-ager, has the kind of office you see in the movies. Smilin' Dan runs Bill Stoess a close second as radio's biggest cigar smoker. Floyd Mack old 'SAI announcer, now with NBC at Radio City. Wormed an intro-duction out of Bill Seymour, WKRC's newsman, to his bride of a week. She's a beauty and charm-ing.

• More star shooting with the as-

tronomer . . . next week. And as usual, more peeps at people. THEME UP AND OUT.

COMFY ISLAND SCHEDULES MANY FAMED ORCHESTRAS Following Bert Block and his or-

chestra, Dick Stabile and his orches-tra are scheduled for a two weeks' engagement at Coney Island, begin-ning Friday night, May 28. Stabile,

before organizing his own orchestra

a year or so ago, was featured with Ben Bernie.

Noble Sissle and his orchestra, an established favorite with Cincinnati audiences, will follow Stabile. Sissle has several new soloists in his famous floor show, as well as a number of old favorites, foremost among them Billy Banks.

Benny Goodman and his orchestra, probably the most famous exponents of "swing" music in the world, will be an attraction early in the sea-son. Other orchestras of equal cali-ber also have been booked for early appearances, Edward L. Schott, presi-dent and general manager stated.

Moonlite Gardens has been com-pletely rebuilt and redecorated.

DEATH VALLEY DAYS Skidoo is generally referred to as

"the camp that had the hanging." It had other things, too, far more novel than a lynching, but for some reason they seem to have been overlooked.

Skidoo's newspaper, for instance' There's a story! And the Old Ranger is going to tell it over an NBC network and WLW on his "Death Valley Days" program at 7:30 p. m. (E.S.T.), May 28. Boys will be espe-cially interested, he said.

RADIO DIAL'S "RADIO SLEUTH"

WELL, they put onc over on the

" Radio Sleuth last week Jane

Froman was in town, even sang at the Miners Conference at the Netherland Plaza, and although I knew about it in time, when I tried to locate Jane for an interview on the Sleuth pro-gram, it just didn't work. It seems that when these celebs want to remain incognito one might as well try to find Santa Claus in July. Its snow

use. In one letter received this week, the

subject of Television was the main topic. Not being an authority on this subject, I shall tread softly. However,

it is generally understood that this modern method of combining radio and the movies and putting television in the American home, is held back chiefly because there are a good many millions of dollars tied up in radio manufacture that would be almost a total loss if any radical change took place suddenly. Perhaps some of the experimenting now conducted by large radio interests, is to fit this new form of mechanical magic into the catagory of the modern receiver, thereby weld-ing the hands of radio and television together for a life long friendship. For the present it must remain (as did the 1933 recovery) just around the

corner. A short time ago Jimmie Scribner

brought into the story of the John-son Family, a singing chicken. It was a huge success. Now appears a sing-ing dog on the Lum & Abner show. Perhaps when Amos and Andy take their spring visit to the Zoo, they'll snake a monkey into the picture for a tap dance. The part of Henry Matthews on

"Today's Children" is played by Ray-mond Johnson. The story is written by Irna Phillips and Gale Page takes the part of Gloria Marsh. The show has just been signed for another fifty-two weeks. I am reminded that Eddie Cantor just signed for another six years—that's a lot of weeks.

Publicity released on the Indian-apolis race says that Paul Sullivan is to be at the track along with Joseph

Ries. This should be corrected as Douglas Browning WLW's top of the morning announcer, has been chosen to take turns at the mike with the Educational Director of the Crosley Stations, Joe Ries. The Mad-Hatterfields is the name

of the most recent, as well as popular WLW program. With this in mind and in compliance with my readers wishes, here are the names of the characters: Bess McCammon, who says she has ceased having birthdays,

plays the part of "Mamma." Bill Green, having had plenty of exper-ience does all the arguing under the name of "Rollie." Pauline Hopkins, the peace-maker of the family, known as "Meg" is also the writer of this script, using the name of Carolyn Clarke. "Rita" who is used to hav-ing her own way, even with men, is taken .by Betty Arnold. The love in-terest of the story centers around the character of "John Edwards" which is portrayed by Lon Clark, and "Caleb" who is Meg's right-hand helper, has been assigned to Harry

LILLIAN ROTH TOPS REVUE AT

BEVERLY HILLS — —

Lillian Roth, beautiful screen, stage and radio singing personality, is now topping Sammy Rose's Revue at Beverly Hills Country Club, south of Newport, Ky., while rhythm for the -lancer is provided by Carl "Deacon" Moore, noted song writer, and his en-tertaining orchestra. Following her success in motion pictures, Miss Roth has starred recently in Earl Carroll's "Vanities" and "Ziegfeld's Follies" and featured on the Paul Whiteman, Rudy Vallee, Shell Chateau, Mulsified and Nestle radio programs. Lillian, brimful of pep, with captivating per-sonality and charm, introduced the popular hit, "Goody Goody," and is singing it at Beverly Hills in a rep-ertoire including "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm," "Too Marvelous For Words," "Boo Hoo," a strut ver-sion of "Let's Go Slumming," and other favorite numbers.

RADIO DIAL, WEEK ENDING JUNE 3, 1937 15

MIRIAM HOPKINS "Citizen of the World" JOEL McCREA "Just a Normal Young Man

MIRIAM HOPKINS can truly

boast that she is a citizen of the

world, for she owns houses in three

great metropolitan cities, New York,

London and Los Angeles. Wherever

she is working, she is equally at home

in her own comfortable, well-run

abode.

Miriam is a native daughter of Sa-

vannah, Georgia, and was educated

in that city and at Goddard Seminary

in Barre, Vermont. It was her early ambition to become a writer and a painter, but through chance she turned her feet to dancing. In New York she appeared in a number of musical shows, then, on the •eve of her greatest triumph, a tour of South Arnericaukie fell and broke her ankle:

Vaudeville filled the gap. And it was while she was appearing in the five-a-day that drama scouts caught up with her. Frightened somewhat, she accepted her first dramatic ven-ture, "Little Jesse James," and it ran for a year! She was firmly estab-lished on the legitimate stage. Her name was soon in electric lights and talent scouts discovered her all over again, this time for the movies. At first hesitant, Miriam finally agreed to sign on the dotted line for Para-mount, because she felt her destiny lay in Hollywood. She had guessed right, for she soon relinquished the stage entirely for a permanent career on the screen.

Miriam is brilliantly blonde, even to her eyebrows. She has a head of unruly thistledown hair, her eyes are intensely blue, flashing black when she is angry. She is five feet three inches tall and weighs 103. The stars of "Woman Chases Man"

will surprise audiences with their easy adaptability to the comedy medium. Particularly Miriam. She is well known now, of course, as a dramatic actress, but that is one of the qualities which also makes her a superb come-dienne. For a long time she has been praised for her acute sensitivity to timing. She has often been more painstaking in this respect than some of her able directors. And that acute-ness is the basis of her success as one of the screen's most effective come-diennes. Her fans will receive a great surprise. In the rolé of a lady architect, Miriam adds another profes-sion—and an unusual one—to the long list of occupations she has en-gaged in before the watchful eye of the camera.

She is now taking it easy after com-pleting this latest picture. She is en-joying the California sunshine and playing in her garden with five-year-old Michael, her adopted son. One food, incidentally, has been banished from her diet. The resolution resulted after she had spent a whole morning eating noodles for a scene in "Woman Chases Man." When the call for lunch came it met with a complete lack of response from Miriam. The scene had called for Miriam to eat a thermos

bottle full of noodle soup which she was supposed to have discovered after being without food for 48 hours. She was supposed to eat ravenously—and she did.

The first few "takes" weren't so bad. Miriam managed to eat as the script required. But from then on it was a different matter. So noodle soup has been banished from he menu for some time to come.

Joel McCrea has sympathized with her. This young man, who made Hollywood history when he stepped out of the cast of "Hurricane" an-nouncing that he didn't believe he could portray a native brownskin, will be seen in this latest picture as a youthful skinflint.

Call Joel McCrea in real life an average young man, if you like—you won't hurt his feelings. Or perhaps normal is a better word. For Joel is intensely proud of being just that —normal, wholesome, sane. Holly-wood and the "big money" have spoiled him not one whit. He still helps his wife into her coat, plays with his two children, enjoys home cooking, and insists upon wearing a

necktie and a hat. And the hat still fits!

Family and home are the big things in life, he declares. Home is a 1,000-acre cattle ranch far out in the San Fernando Valley, where he dons over-alls and sombrero and rides the range with his cowboys. Family is Frances Dee, Joel's lovely wife, and their two happy, healthy little boys.

Born in South Pasadena, the clean-cut young star was early fired with the ambition to become a second Wil-liam S. Hart. He attended Hollywood High School, then went to Pomona College, where he studied public speak-ing, elocution and the drama. Sam Wood, the noted screen director, dis-covered him in a college dramatic show, and started him on the road to stardom.

At first it was all work and no play. Two years of intensive training, tiny "bit" and stock parts, and then he was ready for a featured role. The picture was "The Jazz Age." More pictures followed. With experience he gained ease in front of the camera. In "The Richest Girl in the World," opposite Miriam Hopkins, he really

clicked for the first time. His next picture, "Private Worlds," with Clau-dette Colbert, catapulated him to star-dom—although Joel himself objects to the term.

He is six feet three inches tall and weighs 190 pounds. Captain of the Santa Monica Beach Club volley ball team, he is interested in all phases of sport. Swimming, tennis, and espe-cially riding fill every moment of his spare time.

"I never want to be a star," says the Normal Young Man, "because stars rise and they also fall. I'd much rather keep my feet firmly on the ground."

With the idea of keeping his feet on the ground, Joel signed a long-term contract with Samuel Goldwyn. He wasn't to be starred, he sitpulated. "Barbary Coast" was the first of four pictures in which he was teamed with Miriam Hopkins. Together they ap-peared under Goldwyn's aegis in "Splendor," "These Three," and now in "Woman Chases Man." All are United Artist releases. The last, which comes to the RKO Palace Theater, Friday, May 28, is a happy departure

from the earlier three. A riotous, rol-licking comedy, Joel says he has never had so much fun making a picture before.

CONTROVERSY RE-GARDING "SUGAR BLUES" CONTINUES

When Al Bland, pilot of Dow's Dawn Patrol, broadcast each morning over WKRC at 7:30 a. m. (E.S.T.), jokingly mentioned that he thought he would break the record of "Sugar Blues," he didn't know how loyal to that particular number his listeners were.

Countless letters have been received asking that the record be kept in the musical files for future use. The fol-lowing letter is typical of those re-ceived by the well-liked pilot of the morning program: "So there are forty people in Cincinnati against 'Sugar Blues' . . . . well, here's a list of eighty some odd that vote vehemently for it . . . . but as school (Cincinnati College of Embalming) starts at eight, it must be played between 7:30 and 7:45. We believe it gives us pep enough to sit through four hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory. All hail 'Sugar Blues' and thanks to you for a refreshing program." Signed, The Fourth Class of Cincin-nati College of Embalming.

"LOS AMIGOS" PROGRAM MOVES

TO THURSDAYS "Los Amigos," the WLW program

dedicated to the Latin American countries, will be aired over the Na-tion's Station and the WLW Line from 10:30 to 11:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), Thursdays, beginning May 27. The program formerly was heard at 11:30 p. m., Wednesdays.

With the new time Virginio Mar-ucci, whose South Americans Orches-tra provides the music, announced that Carl Freed and his Harmonica Lads will be featured én the programs of June 3 and 10. Freed and his unique band were heard as guests on the "Los Amigos" program, May 19. The response from listeners was so great that Marucci invited the har-monica maestro to appear in June. On the program of June 3, the

Harmonica Lads will play their own special arrangements of "Adios Much-ache" and "Mama Inez," rhumbas.

Phil Baker has been renewed by his current sponsor for two years to become effective when the comic re-turns to the air in October.

RADIO DIAL, WEEK ENDING JUNE 3, 1937 17

Francia White—She's Never Heard of Mike Fright By DICK TEMPLETON

rRANCIA WHITE, whose brie so-prano voice is a welcome feature

of the Fred Astaire NBC programs, has brought to radio a wealth of oper-atic, concert and vaudeville exper-ience.

Despite her youthfulness, the pretty, dark-haired singer has a background which many a seasoned entertainer might well envy.

She has been singing on the stage since the age of sixteen, has starred in such outstanding productions as Max Reinhardt's musical spectacle, "Midsummer Night's Dream," and has served as guest artist with the Los Angeles and San Francisco Civic Opera companies.

As a short-skirted, pig-tailed girl of 13, she faced the microphone for the first time—broadcasting over station KHJ in Los Angeles. She progressed from local stations to networks—with intermissions for operatic and theatri-cal work—and was featured on sev-eral coast-to-coast programs, including the Open House series with Nelson Eddy, before joining the Astaire show.

Miss White, who is tall, slender, and reserved of manner, occupies a prom-inent position in West Coast musical circles. Considered one of the finest artists in her field, she possesses a thorough knowledge and understand-ing of operatic and classical music.

As a child,she began her music stu-dies under the direction of her moth-er, Phoebe Ara White, a noted vocal teacher, who recognized the poten-tialities of her voice when Francia was just starting to hum nursery tunes.

She was born in Greenville, Texas, the birthplace of John Boles, who was her childhood playmate and today re-mains one of her best friends. The family moved to Covina, California, about the time Francia was ready to enter school. She considers the latter her home town.

At Covina High School and later at Occidental College, the girl distin-guished herself by her acting ability and her unusual voice. She played the leading role in all the school plays. She also made her radio debut on KHJ, singing small parts, and while still a student was heard on KNX as a staff artist.

Francia interrupted her college edu-cation to take a whirl at vaudeville for two seasons. Returning to California, she starred in a stage presentation at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Holly-wood. Then followed her grand opera appearance at the Hollywood Bowl and stardom in the celebrated Max Reinhardt production.

About this time, there occurred one of those freak circumstances which are not at all uncommon in the radio and movie businesses.

In her own way, she'd done well. She had an enviable record. But she wasn't yet the nationally known star which she is today. It was only when she "dubbed in" as an anonymous

screen voice that her big radio op-portunity came!

Francia sang the role of Jenny Lind, which Virginia Bruce played in the picture, "The Mighty Barnum." The advertising manager of Colgate chanced to see the picture. Impressed by the voice, he hastened to find out the identity of the singer.

The result was that she wai signed for a coast-to-coast show,sponsored by that company, and then for 30 weeks with Palmolive. In these broadcasts, she blossomed out as one of the out-standing sopranos in radio.

Her return to Hollywood was marked by several guest appearances with the Los Angeles and San Fran-cisco opera companies. The series with Eddy followed, and then she signed her present contract with the Packard show which is heard over an NBC-Red network, including WCKY and WSM, Tuesdays, at 8:30 p. m. (E.S.T.). She is featured along with Conrad Thibault, Charles Butterworth and Johnny Green's orchestra, assist-ing the famous Fred Astaire.

Miss White's idol in the music world is the late Madame Schumann-Heink. A meeting with the grand old singer, arranged by Francia's Cr, still lingers in her memory as the most thrilling experience of her ca-reer. Madame Schumann-Heink told her that the secret of success was "work, work, work." And Francia swears she was right.

She's invariably cool and collected at the microphone. The term "mike-fright" is beyond the range of her own expereience. Gifted with a re-markable memory, Francia has an ex-tensive repertoire of songs and mem-orizes all the numbers she sings. In fact, she dislikes having music placed before her at a broadcast.

Because she is very appreciative and conscientious, she answers all her fan mail personally. Her correspondents range from erudite music critics to school-girls who want to know how to get into radio. Gifts from fans are varied, but the one she cherishes most of all is a Mickey Mouse doll!

As with most radio stars, the so-prano finds that her vocal lessons, re-hearsals and broadcasts take up most of her time to the exclusion of social interests. However, she does find time to enjoy her favorite sports— swimming, baseball and riding. She's the proud possessor of several medals won by swimming in open competi-tion.

Probably her most admirable trait, in addition to diligence, is Miss White's courage. She subscribes to the old theatrical motto, "The show must go on." Recently, she was threatened with lockjaw because of an infected tooth. But she insisted upon singing anyway.

While other members of the cast watched admiringly, Miss White went through her number. She could

scarcely open her mouth, she had a doctor in attendance—and she sang so well that radio listeners never knew the pain it cost her. When the broadcast was over, the

plucky prima donna collapsed.

GOLDEN GLOVES TOURNAMENT TO BE AIRED ON NBC

A treat for fight fans will be offered on WCKY Friday night, May 28, when the International Golden Gloves tournament will be aired from Chi-cago. The Jeoadcast, from 10:05 to

11:30 p. m. (E.S.T.), will present Charles Lyon and Lynn Brandt, NBC announcers, in a description of bouts between some of Europe's greatest amateur boxers and Chicago's best battlers.

The foreign 'team, including three Germans, three Italians, two Poles and one Swede, was selected as the best of the boys of 16 countries who fought in the European tournament

Farley To Speak

James A. Farley, postmaster general of the United States, will be the speaker over WCKY and NBC from 3:15 to 4:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), Satur-day, May 29. The occasion will be the dedication of the Carry Tingley Hospital in Hot Springs, New Mexico. Mr. Farley will be introduced by

Governor Clyde Tingley of New Mexico.

"THERE WAS A WOMAN" IS NEW FEATURE ON NBC

A new half hour weekly dramatic program entitled "There Was a Woman," will be a Saturday night feature on WCKY through the sum-mer months. The broadcast, from the NBC Chicago studios, is heard at 7:00 p. m. (E.S.T.), effective this week.

The programs are based on the lives of wives, mothers and sweet-hearts of famous men, telling how the careers of these notables were in-fluenced by women. The scripts are authored by John M. Young, in col-laboration with Bessie Boynton who directs the research work necessary to make the dramas authentic.

Questions and Answers (Continued from page 9)

Cansdale. You can hear this pro-gram at 10:15 (E.S.T.), right after Amos & Andy, but only Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings of each week, over WI.W.

In answering a question on the air last week, I failed to state when the program could be heard. I said that the Morin Sisters were featured on The Fitch program. To this may I add, the program is on the air Sun-day evenings, 6:45 to 7:00 (EST.). This bit of neglect on mv part caused me to be railed no end, and not the kind where they ride you out of town either, though I might deserve it some day. In the meantime, with spring here and everything, if you decide it is to much trouble - to shoo the flies why not let them run around in their bare feet? This is the Radio Sleuth signing off with "SS."

RADIO DIAL, WEEK ENDING JUNE 3, 1937 21

A GAME OF MARBLES t I x. T h e n. along came Ruth, who re-membered Tom had los' her tenni-ball, and sh demanded two-thirds of the marbles as payment for the ball. In vain, Tom protested that the marbles did not belong to him, but the resolute young lady took them anyhow. When Tom

explained the situation to Mable, she counted out two - thirds of the number of marbles orig-inally in the bag and gave the remainder to Tom. How many marbles did Tom re-ceive?

MABLE MARKER inherited a bag of marbles from her

older brother, who had put such childish things aside. Not being much of a marble-shooter, her-self, Mable intrusted her legacy to Tom Fulerie, a crack-shot marble-player. The agreement was that they should share equally in the number of marbles Tom won. As for losing, well, that possibility never entered neither Mable's nor Tom's head.

In the first game Tom did handsomely, doubling the num-ber of marbles in the bag. Then With the aid of these clues see he picked up a dozen more agates how quickly you can find the two in a marble duel with Jim Nas- numbers.

Fun With Figures WO numbers which are composed

of the same five digits whose total is 25, afford the puzzlist sonic

fascinating fun with figures. The sum of these two numbers

is 111,110 and their difference is

82,952. In the smaller number each succeeding digit is one greater than

its predecessor, but in the larger num-ber the digits are in the reverse order.

The Charade of the Candy PAMELA was very busy all

yesterday afternoon making candy which she planned to serve the guests at her dinner party last evening. Her candy proved to be perfect, a fact which was the cause of quite a predicament for her.

Since nothing is more com-plimentary to a cook than to have a person relish her culinary creations, Pamela should have felt highly flattered when her little brother, Donald, ate up all her candy. However, she was not and expressed her very great dis-pleasure in this poetic charade: "When I with utmost skill and

care, A *** of chocolate fudge pre-

pare, That we at dinner-time may eat. It is for all to be a treat. I did not all that candy make, For selfish boys like you to take Don't *** to claim that you

don't know What made that candy dwindle

so. The chocolate on your face be-

trays Your ****** plundering forays." The asterisks stand for the let-

ters of missing words. The first two of the missing words unite to form the last missing word.

Word Change ROSA REED Is such an om-

nivorous reader that her mother says it is a wonder her daughter has not turned into a book. Mrs. Reed's remark sug-gests a "word-change" puzzle. The puzzle is solved by chang-

ing the word READ into the word BOOK, in four changes. Substitute a new letter each time and rearrange the letters to spell a word at each step.

An Age Problem Tom wrote down his age,

doubled it and then sub-tracted six, multiplied the last result by one and one-half and from the result subtracted a number that was four years greater than his age. The final result was a number repre-senting Tom's age. How old is he?

BEST BETS OF

THE WEEK ... Always a sucker for a good sob story, I must recommend Para-mount's "MAKE WAY FOR TO-MORROW" to you without hesi-tation. Here is a swell writing job by Vina Delmar, a fine piece of direction by Leo McCarey, and two really grand performances by Vic-tor Moore and Beulah Bondi. The eternal tragedy of Youth versus Old Age has been deftly handled

here, and "MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW" emerges as a rare and very touching film. . . . "WOMAN CHASES MAN," with Miriam Hopkins and Joel McCrea, was a little too spotty for me. Watching it, I had the strangest notion that every-body was miscast, including the director. . . . "SHALL WE DANCE?" is the new Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers picture, and that always spells box office with a capital $. I didn't think it had the ring of some of their other films, but it's all very nice just the same. • * *

... Erich Maria Remarque, author of "ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT," has turned out a new novel called "THREE COMRADES"—and, for my money, it ranks with the finest of our times. It is a story of the War Generation, marching again, not over shell-torn earth but on city pavements; not to take a trench and kill, but to find a meaning and a place in life. It is a story of laugh-ter and tears and love in the lives of three men, and it's a story you'll believe. Published by Little, Brown, for $2.75.... Julia Truitt Yenni examines a Southern family through the eyes of a child. She picks the high spots in the Dillon history to make her first novel, "NEVER SAY GOODBYE," a charming story you must enjoy. Issued by Reynal & Hitchcock, for $2. . . . Also recommended this week is "CASE FOR THREE DETECTIVES," by Leo Bruce, a mad mystery with plenty of humor.

... Odds And Ends In The Enter-tainment World: After a thousand such reports, it looks as though Bert Wheeler and Bobby Woolsey are finally splitting. I wish Darryl Zanuck would take Wheeler under his wing. In the proper role, Bert would be just as big a re-discovery as Jack Haley was in "WAKE UP AND LIVE." . . . Dance record 1 liked best this week was"The Lady Who Couldn't Be Kissed" and "I

Know Now," as played by Guy Lombardo and his orchestra.... There is talk of a lawsuit over the basic idea of "A STAR IS BORN." He'll never speak of it, but expert scenarist Bill Consulman had what I think was the first idea along these lines. Years ago, when talkies first became successful, he wanted to do just such a Hollywood story—with Gloria Swanson playing her own self in the film. Miss Swanson turned it down.

ROMANCE

Erich Remarque

I-ref-1E boy and girl sat at a corner table in the j night club. The girl, a trifle under the weather, amused herself by alternately kissing lier boy friend —and then following with a right sock to the boys' jaw.

Eventually, the young man grew a bit tired of the whole iSrocedure. Besicles, his chin was beginning to

Mark liellinger's

Short Story Contest! IF they gave you this space to fill and told you to bang out

a short story, do you think you'd be able to do it? Of course you could! I didn't doubt it for a moment.

I've been getting away with it for years. Why not you? Accordingly, what do

you say to a short story contest? I haven't run one in years, and it has al-ways been a lot of fun. So I think I'll liven up the page this week by attempting another lit-tle contest.

Here's how we'll do it:

I'm going to write two paragraphs for you; any two para-graphs that come to mind. If you feel like entering the contest, it's up to you to com-plete the story. In other words, with the exception of the first two paragraphs — which must be used to start all stories—you are going to write a yarn to fill this space. Are you ready? Good. Vere are

the two paragraphs with which you will lead off:

"It was 8 P. M. Jane Black put down the newspaper she had been reading and walked to the window. She glanced up and down the street, and then looked at her watch. She shook her head impatiently. "She returned to the chair in which

she had been sitting, and smoothed out a cushion. She sat down with a sigh. And it was then that the door-bell rang three times." There you -have your two para-

graphs. Nothing very brilliant about them, but who am I to grow brilliant at this stage of the game? Besides, that's all the work I intend to do on this particular story. The rest is up to you. What happened to Jane Black after

the doorbell rang? For that matter. who is she?

It's entirely up to you. Turn it into a sob story, if you wish, or make it the gag type of yarn. The choice belongs to you. You can make Jane Black a mar-

ried woman, or you can keep her single. You can make her a co-ed; you can make her a grandmother. You can plunge her into poverty, or you can make her the wealthiest girl in the world. You can carry her through a lifetime in your story, or you can shoot her in the third para-graph, which is a bad place to be shot.

In other words, both the character and the story are completely in your hands. Do as you will with them—but try, if you will, to end your yarn with a wallop. I'm one of those very old-fashioned guys who thinks a short story should have an ending. As to the number of words you

should write, I think about 1100 would fill the bill. That amount, plus the two paragraphs you must use, will just about fill this space. Don't worry about the length, however. A hundred words more or less will not count against you.

Typewritten manuscripts are, of course, preferred. If you wish to use pen or pencil, though, go right ahead. Every story that is submitted will be read, regardless of the manner in which it is presented.

Now, as to the awards:

There will be eight prizes in this contest. The author of the winning story will receive $100 in cash. Story chosen second best carries a prize of $50—and award for the third best will be $25. There will also be five consolation prizes of $10 each, for the five stories that are selected as the next best.

Naturally, I reserve the right to print the prize-winning stories on this page. I'm entitled to that much, at least, for my 225 bucks! So, as soon as the contest is over, the three best stories will be published in this space, one a week for three consecutive weeks. Each will carry the name of the author, of course, and will be il-lustrated. The last time I held one of these

contests, I judged the winners all by my lonesome. This time, I benefit by my experience—and we will have four judges. They will be Faith Baldwin, the brilliant novelist; John Farrar, vice-president of the publishing house of Farrar & Rinehart; H. P. Burton, editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine, and, last and decidedly least, myself.

Thus, if your script fails to win by any chance, you'll know that I voted

for your story—but one of the other judges turned you down!

All stories in this contest should be addressed to Mark

Bellinger, 235 East 46th Street, New York City. Or, if you forget the address, just send them to me in care of this newspaper and they will be forwarded promptly. You can help me a

great deal by placing "Jane Black Contest" on your envelope, so that my mail doesn't become too involved. And please, if you wish your story re-turned after our little contest is over, send a self-addressed envel-ope with your entry. Otherwise I cannot

• guarantee that you'll ever see your baby again.

The contest will close on Mon-day, June 7th, at midnight. That gives you a bit more than two weeks to tell me what hap-

pened to Jane Black. You can submit as many stories as you wish. But they must be in the mail before midnight of June 7th, or they will not be judged. The winners will be an-nounced as soon as possible after the close of the contest. Have I covered everything? I think

so. Let's see now. You have the first two paragraphs that must be used, the number of words, the amount of the prizes, the address to which the stories should be sent, and the clos-ing date. Yes, I think that just about covers everything. Remember, the object of this cos-

test is to have a little fun. There's nothing vastly serious about it. If you turn out a winning story, more power to you. If you don't, you've had a little practice in short story writing. And that never hurts anyone but magazine editors.

Besides, it's been my experience that most people feel they can turn out a better yarn than the next guy. If you don't believe it, you should take a look at my mail after I've printed a story that was not so hot. And since you're obviously a reader of my junk, you can imagine how often that hap-pens!

Don't be bashful about this thing. Tell your story of Jane Black in your own way. Tell it simply. I'm not look-ing for a literary excellence that will startle the world. All I want is your short story, related as you think best.

Everybody's welcome. Aside from the simple rules already stated, there are no strings attached. Baker, farm-er, housewife, convict, lawyer, seams-tress, sausage manufacturer; all are invited to see what they can do with Jane Black. Good luck to you all. And in closing,

I might tell you that—in the last con-test I held along these lines—the win-ner of the third prize quit his job and turned seriously to newspaper work. Today, he is one of New York's out-standing columnists and is himself syndicated from coast to coast. So who knows? After this new con-

test, you might also turn out to be a columnist—God forbid! . . .

feel raw. "See here, darling," he comblained, grabbing her

arm. "I don't mind you kissing me. but why the sock after each kiss?" A quizzical, half-smile flitted across the lady's face. "I love you, dearest," she sighted.

"I know," cried the boy. "I love you, too—but I don't go around tunching you in the face!"

The girl reached out and took the boy's hand in ers.

"I know, Jimmy," site whiséered tenderly. "You always were such a shy, backward kid!" ...

THE DIAL TWISTER

Everyone who has anything to do with planning programs ought to read and ponder the article, "Page Doctor Music,"by Doron K. Antrim, and re-printed in the May issue of the Readers' Digest. While the article deals primarily with the theraputic value of music in mental cases, its im-plications for radio arc too obvious to be ignored. As the dial-twister read it he couldn't help wondering if our jumpy American nerves aren't due in considerable measure to the kind of music usually broadcast.•Of course it's impracticable to plan programs to suit the needs of individual listeners. But much could be done to improve things in general. For instance, the article casts still more serious doubts on the psychology of "swing" pro-grams in the early morning and late evening, and knocks the props from under the typical "drive your blues away" affair. Broadcasting might at least avoid these conspicious blunders.

The week's prize for optimism goes to the signing of Eddie Cantor to a six-year contract under his present sponsor. Plenty can happen between now and 1943.

Last meek this column mentioned CBS claiming 90,000,000 listeners. Thee" seems to be a slight difference of opinion about that. NBC weighs in with the calm assertion that "Ber-tha Brainard supervises radio pro-grams for 24,000,000 homes." That would leave a paltry 500,000 homes for CBS not to mention NIBS. Could somebody be wrong?

That new German station, DJO (11.8 Inc.) is giving an excellent ac-count of itself. Now that Daventry has hiked its power to 50 kw., the short-wave competition between the British and German stations is becom-ing a nip and tuck affair.

The networks go on "pointing with pride" to the addition of more sta-fions. But it's significant that many of the outlets being added are hun-dred-watters. It hasn't been so long ago that the networks wouldn't think

of bothering with these little fellows. Taking them on wasn't supposed to be justified from an economic standpoint. Evidently things have changed. Any-way, adding hundred-watters makes the network picture more confused than ever. And that's saying con-siderable.

These broadcasters certainly are fore-handed. With the baseball sea-son just well started, NBC has al-ready booked Notre Dame's four home games for the forthcoming gridiron season. They will not be sponsored, as was the -case last season.

That CBS series dealing with the problems of labor and industry (over WKRC, Friday, 9:45 p. m. (E.S.T.) is of timely interest. Though it prob-ably will not present much that's quite new. John L. Lewis started things off with a typical fire-breathing speech.

Among radio talks those by Hendrik Willem Van Loon (NBC over WLW, Sunday, 10:15 a. m. (E.S.T.), still hold a place all their own. He has the gift of being engaging yet mak-ing you think. You can judge just how rare that is by dialing the garden variety radio talk.

The mannerisms of the amateur operators frequently amuse and mys-tify SWLs who make a` practice of dialing the phone bands. One of the more amusing of these mannerisms is the elaborate use of the editorial "we." To hear some of the amateurs "we" this and "we" that, one might assume the rig was owned by at least a radio club with a numerous membership. Then an unguarded "I" will betray the fact that the speaker is just a lone "ham." Well, the broadcast band turns up things that are just as absurd.

Speaking of standardized trimmings, there's the case of jungle drums in radio melodrama. Several times in the past few weeks I've heard micro-phone plays that bore down heavily on the throb of tom-toms. Things
