MAGNIFICENT/ Magnificent! — that’s what people say when they have heard wireless through the wonderful New Cossor Valves* It comes to them as a startling revelation— something far better than they imagined could be possible. The New Cossor Valves represent one of the greatest advances in valve design—a new filament and a new construction combined with an entirely new process of manufacture. Do not be content with anything less than the high standard of quality created by the New Cossor Valve—vastly improved tone— greater volume—longer range. 2 volt series now obtainable from all Wireless Dealers.

BROADCASTING AND V - .. ITS CRITICS. I. A REPLY TO MR. BRABAZON HOWE. “THE QUICKEST SELLER ' By John Knowles. N these pages last week Mr. Brabazon Howe lamented the decadent state into OF THE YEAR” I which professional criticism of the arts has fallen. He urged that broadcasting has will be reviewed in next week’s issue . *. suffered and still suffers because it is insufficiently criticized. There is no need for anybody to quarrel with I ! r. the bulk of what he wrote. It is only too true that in our newspapers often we find that books are reviewed superficially and without thought, 1 b and that dramatic criticism has become little better than irritating gossip. This, however, bears no relation to broadcasting and gives no help towards solving the problem of how the professional critic, sincere and well-informed M though he be, can help the' service. f One fears that Mr. Brabazon Howe, in common $ with many others who have tackled this subject, fell into the trap of applying old-fashioned and BBC inapplicable ideas to a very modern and entirely new set of circumstances. It is quite impos­ 4:\ sible to criticize broadcasting as it has been kj developed in Britain as one criticizes books or plays. The service which has been created and adapted for the use of all manner of homes and all grades of society is now beyond criticism, in the sense that Roast Beef or the British Constitution are beyond criticism. You can have good Roast Beef and bad Roast i-'.'v; • Beef, but that has no bearing on its position as ,s! a National dish and a National Institution. In V.-r-’j like manner you can alter and amend the British Constitution to meet changing needs, but you cannot change its outline, or undermine its strength, or alter its character. Broadcasting is in a similar position. In the course of a few years this service has become as natural and essential and desirable an adjunct to the ordinary British home as the gas-cooking III: stove or the bathroom. This has happened rapidly because, on foundations well and truly \ laid, the people have built up for themselves the type of National service which they desired I and which they know to be the best and most mmS: suitable to admit into their own homes. It is clear that Mr. Brabazon Howe, and others who have written in similar vein, do not realize this, or they would approach the criticizing of broadcasting with a much broader outlook. §# It will be said that even although broad­ casting has become a National Institution, WEAR BOOK programmes and other details of the service m% m can with advantage be subject to criticism. This i i is true, but again the work must be approached i with great breadth of vision, and all thought m that it bears any relation to any other form of criticism must be abandoned. Broadcasting is 1QJO only in very minor degree itself an art, and is essentially only a machine to exploit and dis­ seminate certain other arts. For example, broadcasting'is greatly bound up with music; but if you set out to criticize a concert of Beethoven’s music as broadcast you are not a critic of broadcasting but a critic of music. You may, perhaps, comment on the quality of the Order Your Copy Now transmission, but then you turn yourself into a critic of radio engineering. 464 Of all Newsagents, Book­ Cloth .

In order to get the best from your Radio Receiver be sure that your Loudspeaker is a Philips. They are scientifi­ cally constructed and designed so that the wonderful capabilities of modern Radio Receivers are not wasted, but are fully expressed. Particularly if your Radio Receiver itself is a Philips product. Your Loudspeaker should be a Philips product also.

Philips Radio Receivers have set and maintained the high standards of modern radio, and Philips Loudspeakers are designed to enhance their performance.

Ask your dealer to let you he?ir one. Then you will realise that our claims are fully justified, that radio, as translated by a Philips Loudspeaker, is radio with a new meaning.
