Inhere Do We Go?

By Elsie Robinson — f y" IIIS business of life after death what a superstitious mumbo-jumbo we V»J a have made of it. m We have, of course, no absolute proof that we go on but if we do—and we're **J all banking on that probability—why shouldn't we treat such future existence as a normal phase of evolution, a natural passing into a richer maturity, as natural and inevitable as the passing from infancy to youth and from youth to age? That would seem to be the natural and comfortable theory. But instead we insist that life entirely changes its character after death and becomes a purely religious experience. Which may be orthodox but it certainly isn't alluring. You know as well as I do that it is not in the nature of man to enjoy a perpetual religious session. Flow long can YOU stay in church without wriggling or napping? Thirty minutes is my limit. And yet we're expected to twang harps and- compare souls for eternity. Naturally we haven't warmed up to the prospect. Also, to some of us who lack the orthodox viewpoint the whole scheme sounds unreasonable. Personally I never could see how I could do enough good or evil in a short three score years to save or damn me for eternity. Why, most of us have hardly learned to act at table by the time we come to die, much less how to act with God\ It seems to me that this insistence that the future life must be utterly unrelated in character to our normal existence has done an immense amount of harm. We do need to know whether we go on. We need to know desperately. A practical proof of a future life, and even the slightest contact with our lost loved ones, would alter everything for us. It would glory and dignify every act in life. Of all problems, this is the greatest and most poignant. And yet we can't tackle it because of this religious aura with which it has been invested. The thing has been put beyond our grasp, and we're not sure that we'd enjoy it even if we could grasp it. So between inertia, fear, despair, and bitter disbelief we mug along and get nowhere. Now I'm sure that we could get somewhere if we once became really interested and hopeful and set ourselves to the job. Suppose that instead of feeling that we are about to achieve harps or griddles, we should feel that we shall sometime leave our inconvenient cubicles and go on a thrilling journey into a far country. And that in that country we shall adventure as we have done here, we shall work and play and make merry—we shall, in short, live very much as we have always lived, only we shall live "more abundantly" with a greater freedom and a wider vision— If we could feel that way about the future life the whole matter would at once assume a different complexion. We would be thinking in terms which we could understand, and which would enlist our interest and enthusiasm. And we would forthwith tackle the problem as we have tackled the other great scientific problems which have balked us. With, in all probability, the same measure of success. For, after all, if life is really a matter of force and vibration, as we're beginning to suspect, then it should not be any more difficult to discover how men can persist without bodies than it has been to discover how words can persist with bodies. One hundred years ago the theory of the Radio would have been regarded as an insane hallucination and the perpetrator probably executed for witch-craft. Yt now receive and broadcast words from and through the "empty air." We do this because we desired to do it and came to believe that we might be able to do it and searched for a practical instrument toward that end. What of that other greater Emptiness which we have not dared to penetrate? If we allow ourselves to desire—and to believe—and to search —may we not also find that for which ive search? f^EORGE GERSHWIN, xvho wrote symphony *~* into jazz and created a new kind of American music, since exemplified by Paul Whiteman.

"I'm just segregating the bags and traps in general, Mr. Laufer-Hirth. I thought— "It's no time for thinking and segregating, man!" boomed his employer. "We're just going to have drinks all round. Come ahead." They had their drinks and, aided by the two Filipino house- boys, separated to their rooms. Once again the living room was occupied solely by Savoy, the captain and Sergeant Tom Blount. The sergeant promptly did his vanishing trick. "Will you tell me," muttered Savoy "why the devil Parks wanted to bring that fellow Dicks along?" Captain Temple, obviously of no mood to talk, snorted con- temptuously and reached out for glass and bottle, conveniently left on the refectory table. At that moment the lights flickered and went out. Save for what light was afforded by the fires in certain of the fireplaces, the House of the Opal was plunged into darkness. IT WAS a gay dining room, no matter how the thunder and wind boomed and screamed outside, and a gay company after their round of cocktails, with bottles on the massive sideboard winking at them from deep cool beds of snow in bright silver buckets. Gay, at least, on

"And, my dear Parks," cried out "Laufer - Hirth, "if it be true that you have actually under your roof a certain Mr. Nemo— "Shall I speak my own words or shall I not?" expostulated Mainwaring Parks, with an expectant glance over his shoulder toward the open door. "He is indeed under my roof, this gentleman whom at his request and in our earnest desire to meet even his unspoken wishes in all things we call tonight Mr. Nemo. We all know who he is and what he is and what he represents. And so in my log house in the woods, is a brilliant company crowned by the illustrious.

Let it be known as The Tale of the Opal of Nonius. Now, some forty years ago this house of mine was no house at all, but constituted a noble part of the forest; these log walls were big ripe pines reflecting themselves placidly in our queen-gem of mountain lakes. There came a man with a queer name and a queer nature, one Thraff Willcyzinski, mad as a hatter, and caused the slaughter among the big pines, to create this house of mine.

And how the stone was valued at nothing less than two million sesterces—a good eighty thousand of our dollars.

French and Italian, Spanish rushed* through the city and Basque; some of them occupied four floors; with the atmosphere losing more of its sedateness with every story; and in some the diners gathered round a single long table, to dip their soup from one tureen. Of all there was none where the spirit of boisterous and clean hearted merriment, characteristic to old San Francisco, was as much in evidence as at Sanguinetti's. Here the crowd laughed and sang over their thin red wine every night, and changed places at the tables as the fancy seized them. IT WAS on an evening when he was feeling particularly lonely that Culver happened into Sangui- netti's for the first time and saw the Girl in Grey. The splendid eagerness of youth belonged to him and he was ready for youth's rightful heritage, which is romance. One of that tall, wide shouldered breed with clear eyes and tawny hair which grows among the golden hills and generous valleys of northern California, he had been but recently transplanted into a San Francisco office. But the buoyant city which had given him good opportunity in his profession had offered him none of its famous hospitality as yet. And, when his work was done, he often wandered through its streets, thinking of the little town up in the Mothe^ Lode country, where everyone knew him by his first namerand of the crooked dusty street where the neighbors would be calling greetings across the rose covered paling fences while they awaited the arrival of the every afternoon; the indomitable love of a good time which evening stage. was forever cropping out—in the cafes, among the crowds of So it was with him tonight and he was walking for the sake Sunday picnickers who jammed the decks of ferry boats, on of walking, aimless as a lost dog, when he found himself in the the sidewalks near Lotta's Fountain on New Year's eve; the silent cobblestoned thoroughfares north of the old red brick boisterous spirit of a people who instinctively knew how to customs house, where the odors of Italian cheeses and spices and play, without self consciousness and without offense. red wine hung among the weather-stained buildings like ghosts Near the door, at this end of a bar which spanned the room, of the departed day's activities. Iron shutters masked many of Steve, the proprietor, was standing, bull necked and thick of the tall windows, patterned in squares of green and black, body, with one eye missing; his shirtsleeves rolled up to the relics of the years when the city was in its infancy.

Several groups nearby were singing the refrain. Across the heed these others whose free and easy joy had warmed his room a blond, high collared youth with nose glasses and neatly heart like wine. parted hair, was drinking with ostentation to one of the girls Since she had come into the door his whole regard had been in this impromptu chorus. Without stopping her singing she centered upon The Girl in Grey. While she was passing across raised her tumbler of red wine to her lips in a responsive the room his eyes had remained upon her until he realized that flourish. his eager gaze was growing obvious, and he had turned them Culver had drunk his first glass of the thin claret which elsewhere.

The Girl in Grey was knowledge, drinking in her beauty, with no offense to her. standing on the threshold. Of a sudden as he looked on her, a Long after he had left Sanguinetti's that night, the vision wistfulness for the romance to which his youth entitled him, of this slip of a girl with the flower-like face and green lights awoke within him. playing in the depths of her grey eyes, remained with him. It came between him and his work the next day and the day SLIP of a girl. Her tailored suit and rakish little hat were after. And on the second evening it drew him back to the A of the same dove color; and the hat was trimmed on one noisy old restaurant. He walked with an eager stride through side with a gay cockade of bright hued feathers. The coat collar the deserted streets and his head was high in the hope that he was edged with fur, rising high about her chin; so that her was going to look upon her again. face was as a dainty heart shaped flower, set off by the fur beneath it and the mass of blue black hair sweeping low above.

24 Rearing is Believing IF To Deceive the Ear TVith Or Burble Vocally Like m Is New Kind By Doty

WILD horses stampeded through the fifteenth floor of a building on Fifth Avenue in New York City! "The man who bit the dog" has nothing on the above statement as a news item. But like the story of the man and the dog the report of that stampede never reached the desk of any city editor, even though the stampede did take place. Of course, no one actually saw those horses, but the fact that millions of wide awake witnesses heard them trot, gallop, can- ter (or whatever it is wild horses do), should be sufficient proof that the unprecedented occurrence happened. Oddly enough the event was not unexpected. Perhaps I should qualify that. The stampede was no more unexpected than was the sight of innumerable rabbits, doves, bouquets and flags being hauled out of a magician's hat. Thrilling but anticipated! Great days, those, when seeing was believing. Now we have a new way of getting a thrill. Instead of going to the theatre to get an eyefull of mystifying magic we sit around the Radio and take it on the ear. And when we hear a pistol shot carom off the loudspeaker we are quite content to believe that, for all intents and purposes, another Indian has bit the dust. If the hand can fool the eye the sound effects produced in a broadcasting studio certainly can play tricks on the ear. All of which is as it should be. If the microphone recorded actualities only then the drama of

without a moment's hesitation, into the script went a description of the stampede. A copy of the script was sent to the engineer of sound effects. ON THE top floor of the National Broadcasting company's home on Fifth Avenue is a little room, tucked away off in one corner. This hideaway, to my way of thinking, is the most interesting place in the building. It has all the resemblance in the world to our conception of Saint Nick's workshop so filled it is with strange toys. The spritely gentleman in charge wears no whiskers. He denies any relationship to the old toymaker. His name is Arthur R: Fasig and he carries rather well the official title of Engineer of Sound Effects. This room of his could be mistaken for a nursery but you are quite correct in assuming that these toys cannot possibly be the playthings of anyone blessed (or damned, as the case may be) with such an important sounding title. The toys are the tools of his craft. For "Sound Effect Fasig," as he has been dubbed by one studio wit, is a master craftsman. Mr. Fasig received a copy of the script which called for the stampede. The program was scheduled to take the air a few nights later. It was up to him to get busy. He scratched his head and looked about the little workshop. Nowhere in sight was anything that bore the slightest resemblance to the hoof beats of that many horses. His stable was limited to a pair of cocoanut shells. These were used to imitate shod hoofs clat- tering over paved streets. The combination of wild horses and the turf of Western plains was something else again.

By William C. Lengel Associate Editor Cosmopolitan Magazine

WAS a late winter's day in London. ITThe rain seemed colder than sleet seems in Chicago and came beating down with a driving insistence. Yet as I walked the two blocks from the Strand to Adelphi Terrace I was conscious of neither rain nor wind nor fog. For I was on my way to see James M. Barrie. To see and talk with the man who shared his dreams with the world when he wrote Peter Pan, Sentimental Tommy, Mary Rose, The Old Lady Shows Her Medals. There were so many stories about him, stories that had become legends, myths, almost. He was shy and retiring, resented in- trusion, visitors were far from welcome. Even American editors. And I was an intruding, intrusive Araer-

After a reasonable delay, I wrote again saying that surely he would not permit a pilgrim from America to go his way without seeing the British writer best-loved in America. Now I was to see him. At three o'clock. It lacked a few minutes of that hour. Here was the Savage Club in front of me, a club that for its good fellowship is unequaled.

And now a change came over the aspect of the endless BT.TND Mr. Cheevers could never become familiar with his roadside.

And he raised his fist above her to strike. But he had the lines in that hand, and the gesture frightened the horses. They bolted from the muddy road and before he could bring them down to a trot and turn them again to the highway, the sick woman was far behind. But Alice had not forgotten the threat c. the blow and she said: "Who do you think you're shaking your fist at, Tom Gamm ell? You're not on a packet boat and I'm no darky deck hand. You lay your fist to me just once, and you'll wish it was only the cholera that struck you." He scowled and held his wrist. But when camp was made that night, he told the rest of the circle what Alice had tried to do. All of them rounded on her as if she were a traitor and a criminal, and cowering in drenched misery about the sputtering fire warned her that if she ever went near a cholera victim, she should never come near any of them again. After that when they saw anybody in the ghastly wrestle with the invisible fiends, they whipped up their horses, prodded their cattle on and held their breaths in dread of the very air. Alice was helpless. She felt herself unworthy of the name of woman for passing by such unbearable grief as lined the highway more and more thickly, but she was chained to the cowardice of her company. They broke camp early of mornings now in their haste to outrun the cholera. She grew afraid with a new fear and she pleaded with her husband: "We started out for gold and we've left the golden rule behind! It's all very nice to run away from poor sick folks, but what if you got sick yourself? You may find yourself doubled up with the cholera and holding out your hands to the crowd, and then how will you feel when you see the crowd go by you without paying you any attention?" "I'll take my chance on that." he muttered. "I guess if I got sick, you'd dump me off the wagon and drive on, wouldn't you?" "Let's not talk about us gettin' sick.

tion of Weiner-Wurst Manufacturers, Becker had to enlarge his staff. At first the Blah-Hooey Importing- Company's Fool-Harmonica Orchestra consisted of drums, ukulele, and kazoo. But that wasn't enough. He worked a piccolo player and a bass horn soloist into helping him out. Imagine "Scars and Gripes Forever" (Stars and Stripes Forever) played on the Piccolo and Bass Horn with assorted dissonances to add variety. In the studio the combination is so funny, that piccolo and bass horn must sit back to back to keep from exploding with interrupting laughter. NOW on the Musicale Novelesque, the entire Novelesque orchestra riotously plays slightly out of key as incidental music for Lavender Network programs. It's harder work than playing a Beethoven Symphony, they say, but they love it. Staid symphony men beg to play their most hated solos so that they can vent their spleen in "Blue" notes. One 'cello player swoons with joy whenever he is permitted to play "The Swan" a la Blah-Hooey Hour. As the Satires began to be noticed, Becker emerged from a mere ukulele player into a personality. He began to haunt the publicity office with stories of approaching broadcasts. Days before the next satire was written, Becker could recite it verbatim to anyone who would listen, and to others who would not. Convulsed with laughter at his own originality. Becker even now has a way of getting staff members, and even Radio listeners, to suggest more comical ideas for his programs. His recitation of cherished plans, invariably inspire his auditors to humor. These spontaneous outbursts of: "Why don't you say this . . ." and "You ought to call him. . . Don gracefully accepts and incor- porates in his continuities with grat- ifying results. Somewhere along the way in his creation of a complete imaginary "national mixup of assorted gasoline stations," Becker envisioned a president for the Irrational Broad- casting Company: one J. Cornelius Schwadamaga Fishbearder, Jr. J. Cornelius gives talks on the Laven- der Network on such subjects as "Commercial Programs and Why they should be Paid For." But more than that, he sends inter-office memos to WLW engineers, entertainers, and publicity staff informing them of approaching paroxysms. Days on end, Becker quotes no one but J. Cornelius Schwadamaga Fishbearder until he has become so real to the staff of WLW, that they would be not the least surprised to see J. Cornelius walk into the office any day. In fact, many are there who believe that Becker and Fish- bearder are one and the same, hut which is which or who is who, no one will venture to say.

There was the man he had been "Do you think that's quite fair, Kennedy?" he asked. seeking—somewhere, some twelve or twenty miles, out on "It's something you'll have to settle with Mr. Hancock, not the ocean—the missing link in his chain of evidence. "I have the 'Geronimo'—they're standing by!" announced Craig with the wireless apparatus over his ears. He turned to us. "Walter—McNaught—cover every door and window no one must get out of his room—no one. Now, Don—come across—make good! Where is he?" Donato smirked around at the rest of them in the room. He was not in any hurry to surrender the center of the stage. "Cut the dramatics, Don," urged Kennedy sharply. "Every- one in this room is covered by McNaught's men outside, and McNaught and Jameson are at the doors. You are perfectly safe. Only you've got to be on the level, yourself, with me. I've got enough on you—and the Rum Castle is the least of it. holding only ^1 I'm you long enough to see that what you tell is the real goods. Where's Ryder Smith?" "Out there—in the new Rum Row." Kennedy shot something off on the air, then turned to Don impatiently. "Yes; but where? What boat? You know!" Donato knew he could hold it back no longer. "On the Owlet," he said grudgingly as if unwilling to give up what was both making him the center of the picture and was at once also his trump card of protection for himself.

Kennedy turned again from the wireless apparatus. "Is : $ that an American boat?" Donato smiled. "British registry. Sailed from Halifax and has just come up with a cargo from Nassau." Kennedy studied his face a moment. "That's not a frank answer, Don, although it sounds like one. Where is the real ownership of the 'Owlet'—in New York?" Don the Dude studied Kennedy's face. It might have been a poker face. But it was also the face of a player who might hold the cards. Kennedy had surprised him before with the extent of his information. He was not to be trifled with. "Yes; Broadway and Forty-second street." Kennedy nodded. "Deitz's syndicate." Don agreed. "I don't need to remind you, Mr. Kennedy, you have a certain moral obligation yourself in this." Kennedy smiled. "No; you don't. And you need not worry. I am merely trying to keep this matter straight in case anything ever involves the United States Department of State. If it's British soil honestly that is one thing. If it's as it is, that's another. As for Deitz and you and the Syndicate, they're not interested, except," he added, "they might be better off without having this man on one of their boats, of course, in case anything should happen. Nothing will happen as far as I am concerned. I'm interested only in Captain Ryder Smith—and you."

JAKE MERCK was looking at Maisie, then he shot a look at Trixie. There was nothing by which I could get an inkling of what was passing in their minds. "That's right," broke in Jake, "he's on the 'Owlet' and that's how the 'Owlet' sizes up, too." "I see." Kennedy nodded. I knew that Craig was not be- traying any of the satisfaction he felt. These people were cracking up under the strain, and ready to run to cover, tell all they knew, each to save himself. He turned to the sending apparatus and there was an interchange of messages between himself and the revenue boat. "The 'Geronimo' knows just where the 'Owlet' is located. They'll get Ryder Smith off it—and have him ashore tonight. In the meantime they will let me know." Kennedy was dis- carding the apparatus. "Now, McNaught, all we need to do is to take care of these people I have gathered here, until Ryder Smith supplies the missing cut-outs in this cut-out puzzle. I suppose this is just as good a place as any in which to entertain them." " e

In this mechanical age, this age of adventure and progress what are women's chief interests? They still steer the little ship called "home" but they also determine big business deals, they pilot aeroplanes, they achieve a new rank through the Radio. Yet we wonder—whether there is not one thing—one chief interest that dominates their lives. What is it, you ask? A difficult question, indeed, to answer. Perhaps this picture will do it. Hundreds of Radio dials have turned. In answer to Radio announcements, yes. But, in answer to a more urgent, more impelling force, first. A woman's voice is brought over the air—a single voice and there are hundreds and hundreds of listeners eager to catch every word of the vital message. What proof—you say? The next day's mail. A hundred —-two hundred—a thousand letters in a single mail. Several thousand in one day—representing as many delightfully feminine creatures—women! Tall women, short women, "oh, so stout" women, "painfully thin"_ women, women naive, and sophisticated, women rich and poor (we learn all this from the letters, of course) all moti- vated by a single force, all dominated by a single interest, a peculiarly-involved interest, at once selfish and unselfish, at once "ever-old, yet ever-new."

PAUL McCLUER, sunshine hour announcer of WENR, Chicago, whose feminine fan mail has always been unusually large, has gone and done it. He's married. Last Summer, Mr. Mc- Cluer made a trip East for the station. While in New York, he was introduced to Marjorie Marlowe Ryan, New York society girl. After he returned there was a constant stream of wires, telephone messages and letters between Chicago and New York. Just before Christmas "Paul slipped away to New York, where the ceremony was performed. Mrs. McCluer is petite in size and has captivated the rest of the staff with her charms. Mr. McCluer is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Illinois and for a time was employed by the Commonwealth Edi- son company, later coming to WENR in his present capacity. He is a nephew of William B. McCluer, who is well known in Chicago society. Following the announcement of his marriage over the air, the young couple received thousands of congratulatory messages.

CHARLES NAEGELE, an American pianist who has been heard on the Baldwin programs over the NBC, is the child of artistic parents. His father was a painter and the mother a descendant of an old New England family. Something of a child prodigy, he started his piano studies at the age of nine, and was pronounced a "find" by Paderewski at the age of sixteen. A year later he won a competition which entitled him to an appearance in Aeolian hall with the Young Men's Symphony orchestra. So favorably was he received that Arnold Volpe, conductor, invited him to tour with the orchestra. After the war he resumed his studies with Isidor Phillips in Paris and Arthur Schnabel in Berlin. His debut as a concert artist was made abroad. He played in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Christiana, London, Liverpool, Man- chester, and Bournemouth. Returning to America he made his New York debut in November, 1924, in Aeolian Hall. Since Another famous quartet of Radio.

INCLUDED among the great army of Radio performers who broadcast not only daily, but many times each day, is Marie Opfinger of station WABC, a student at the Juilliard Graduate School of Music and a protege of Mme. Sembrich. Still very young, yet a veteran in length of service to Radio, Miss Op- finger's unusual lyric soprano voice was heard over the air as far back as 1924, when she broadcast from the now dis- mantled studios of a station which gave many Radio performers their start. Bed-ridden and paralyzed, as a child, Miss Opfinger found much of her entertainment in the rising young medium of amusement, Radio. With a child's insati- able curiosity to know "what made the wheels go 'round" the little listener read everything she could lay her hands on which related to Radio, and had an enviable stock of information on the subject while an unkind decree of nature obliged her to be merely a "fan" and not an active participant in the field which so attracted her.

By Gene V. Brown

MOST people are sentimental, Radio has discovered. Program super- visors, feeling their way around the dial to find the most popular features, have found that the majority of listeners respond as one person to the program that takes them back to the "good old days" when they were young, though "Maggie" may now be far, far away from her girlhood home and, perchance, be living in some remote corner of the country or in some big city, caught up in the whirl of every-day life. Programs that have heart appeal, such as those including the old songs, the quaint old-fashioned sort of philosophy, the simple methods of living, these are the ones that touch the Radio listener most deeply, a statement that is proved by the influx of mail that follows such homely, simple broadcasts. At WBAL, not so very long ago, there came on the air a new studio feature which Frederick R. Huber, director, and Gustav Klemm, program supervisor, decided to call "Around the Melodeon." The very name typified the feature—that of depicting musically and with the aid Just a few little things to do for of a clever continuity script, the days of Savigny Atkinson Mrs. Morton Harvey.

63 Schools Use Radio in WEEKLY Radio concerts by the musical organizations of the public schools of Baltimore were recently inaugurated by station WCAO, and are bringing an enthusiastic response from its many listeners. These programs were made possible through the co-operation of John De- nues, director of music in the Baltimore public schools. Mr. Denues had under consideration for sometime the broadcasting of school concerts. On several occasions the high school orchestras and glee clubs had broadcast from Balti- more stations.

JTy E Regular Fellow and Give QAROLINAS f) Them Style, Says Greensboro Director to Followers of This c Popular Southern Station Dema"d Class For Air Programs WNRC Typical

the population per capita, North Carolina seems to TAKEhave more first-class broadcasting stations than any other state in the Union. In town, out of town, up and down the highways and by mountain trails Radio means something more than a plaything of the moment. It is a serious proposition. As a typical example of North Carolina broadcasting let us step over to Greensboro for a visit at WNRC. Let's say "Howdy" to Wayne M. Nelson, director. Nelson knows his station and he knows his people and he is a man of unusual importance because of the position that he holds. Nelson probably takes seriously the old saying of the evangelist^ who contended that it was his policy to lay down his oratorical barrages close to the ground so that all classes of society could take advantage of them. WNRC is on the air from 12:30 until 3 o'clock every day except Saturday. The evening program starts at 7 o'clock, Saturdays excepted, it being a silent day. The station maintains a church service, broadcasting two each Sunday. WNRC has gone into the broadcasting game with the idea of giving the fans a variegated program, free from frills and any attempt at high-hatting. The fans of Greensboro, away over on the Atlantic coast, have a keen sense of appreciation, mm and the mail received at the station would indicate they are unhesitating in their desire to pass words of praise. Wayne Nelson has been more or less probably more—identified with Radio since he was a youngster. When Radio was young and consisted of something with possibilities rather than with any qualities that could be considered as reali- ties, Nelson began to work with wireless. Above, Miss Right, Wayne Nelson, di- Madelyn Hall, rector and announcer, organist. WNRC. Below, Kitty and Bobby O'Connor, Ukulele In 1912 he began building Ladies. amateur sets, and by degrees he became more and more interested in Radio until he took up the direction and announcing assignment at Greensboro. WNRC has a. well-balanced- staff of artists,- one : of" the snappiest teams in its studio being the O'Connor Sisters, Kitty and Bobby. They have been aptly named the Ukulele Ladies. In the accompanying picture they are shown in costumes they used to feature the famous clown song, Laugh, Clown, Laugh. Bobby is a tall blonde and Kitty is a brunette. Are they married? Not yet. Another star in the studio of WNRC is Madelyn Hall, organist at the National theater. Madelyn has been featured in a series of recitals and she is another valuable member of the staff. OtTier features of the programs at WNRC include late news flashes, sports reports, stock quotations, furnished by the Greensboro Daily Record, with Harold Essex announcing. Following the regular evening program WNRC usually indulges in a series of presentations for the night owls and these continue beyond the midnight hour. Letters from this band of followers prove beyond a doubt the appeal of the owl programs, and have revealed the interest of many nocturnal fans who make it part of their routine to tune in on WNRC for these features. As a director and announcer, Wayne Nelson has built up a select clientele along the Atlantic coast, and the name WNRC is being carried further westward with each succeeding day. Nelson has not striven for big things so much as to excel in the ordinary things which appeal to the masses of people. A visit to the station of WNRC is an inspiration, and a casual study of its studio operation discloses the fact that the details for the day's work have been worked out to the 'nth degree. The man behind the station, whose personality fairly radiates throughout the studio, is Wayne Nel- son, who is young in years but old and rich in experience. —

OBSERVATIONS of a backwoods- man on his first visit to a big city like Chicago proved interesting broadcast material on WLS' annual Harvest Home Festival. "Uncle Ed" Shackleford, old time singer and fiddler from KTHS, Hot Springs, was a guest on the three days of frolic at WLS, and kept the studio people constantly in an uproar over his homely observations on Chi- cagoans and their ways. "Waal, I wuz only out of Arkansas oncet before, and that wuz jest across the line into Texas. Sez I to myself, sez I, if ever I git back I'll come to this conclusion: if this world be as big on the other side as it wuz on the Texas side— it'll shore be a whopper," said Uncle Ed. When asked what he thought about the bustle and hurry of Chicago's loop, he replied that "Arkansawyers like me cain't run as fast as these Chicago people kin walk." Lake Michigan appeared to the old singer as "the doggonest biggest pond I ever see." The personality of Uncle Ed as an old time singer who is "different" was brought to the attention of Steve Cisler, This interested looking couple, the cows, walked from Vermont to St. Louis to chief announcer of WLS and himself broadcast over KMOX.

siree, Bob. . We found that in the Radio columns of a recent issue of a big farm paper—and, by George—here is another from another party and printed in a farm publication: "I am not saying exactly which station is best, but I do admit the program part that WNAX, Yankton, gives, is in this community the most appreciated." Thanks for them kind words, but for heavens sake, what is this: A request that WNAX supply 500 words for a story in Radio Digest. "Story requested by readers." Quick George, a glass of water. What can this mean? Do they actually mean that such is the popularity of WNAX throughout the northwest? Since receiving full time on the air WNAX has become a busier place. En- tertainers come and go from six o'clock in the morning until midnight, possibly thirty to forty combinations, ranging from the stag orchestra to a single man trying to make a string band all by himself. It was a Saturday when WNAX went on for full time. The telegraph operator tried to handle both phone and wire messages but gave up when he could not decide which way to run — he thought of roller skates to carry the request messages to the announcers' booth.

"You see, Sassafras is the levee type of negro—lean, lanky, active. I am the Alabama 'blue gum' negro—slow, sloppy, lazy," Honeyboy will explain. "Humor in negro skits depends upon three situations. A negro to be funny must be either broke, hungry or scared and the problem for the creator of blackface comedy is to stick to these situations and still furnish sufficient variety." Honeyboy declares that minstrel parts, after his eighteen years in the show business with experience in every type of show except a carnival, are still his "favorite kind of opera." The minstrel was his goal when he ran away from home when he was seventeen with a one-night stand show to carol "Sold out, doctah!" for the medicine vendor. During the eighteen years on the stage, Honeyboy has been featured in several prominent minstrel shows such as Al G. Fields Minstrels. Sassafras is a native of Dallas, Texas.

Special Program, for

SPECIAL program, "The Maple A Leaf Hour," consisting entirely of request numbers received from listeners in Canada, has been inaugurated by WDAY at Fargo, N. D. On November 30, 1929, WDAY received a frequency change which gave it a preferred position on the dials. It enables the North Dakota station to "bat" into Canada with such volume that thousands of letters from, Winnipeg and other Canadian listeners have been received. These letters led to establishment of the "Maple Leaf Hour." The hour opens weekly with "The Maple Leaf Forever," Canadian song, and then consists of Scotch, English, Irish and Welsh offerings. * * * Eric Bark, world traveler, writer and announcer who was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and left there for America only seven years ago, has been added to the staff of WDAY. Mr. Bark has inaugurated a weekly feature, "Your Scandi- navia," which has proved highly successful. In this period Mr. Bark discusses news of interest to the Scandinavian "Here's the lowdown, boys," says Boyd Shreffler, as his Merrymakers gather members of WDAY's audience in 'round the old bass drum to get an eye full of the latest hit they are to Minnesota and North Dakota. broadcast over WIBW. * * * Reading of a serial story, a full length is appearing before NBC microphones novel by Dr. D.

This is a truism with Mildred Kyffin, a Daughter of the American Revolution, descendant of a First Family of Vir- ginia, relative of the great Chief justice Marshall and contralto soloist with the KOA Light Opera Company. But she had to learn it—and who wouldn't with such an ancestry—and its acquisition has made her one of the West's most demanded Radio artists. She discovered that painting a picture for her listeners, which she considers to be the function of her singing, could not be done from a pedestal. If this were true, then hearts must beat alike in immigrant and patrician! The discovery—made in Radio where the microphone detects much more than sounds alone—made a democrat out of an aristocrat and an artist out of a singer. * * * AN ARTIST who probably has been heard in more countries than ; ny Honeyboy and Sassafras, famous blackface team of KSAT, caught in a normal other Radio performer, Mile.

By C. Thomas Nunan OVER in Baltimore Park, Marin County, California, she is known as Mrs. Frank Wellington Avery—to Ra- dio fans of KPO as Eva De Vol. We refer to KPO's leading staff coloration soprano, an artist whose exquisite voice has thrilled thousands with its charm. The story of Eva De Vol is as intrigu- ing as it is romantic. It reveals a determined struggle to overcome great odds with success as the climax.

By Dick Creeclon COOPERATION and inspiration are household words and the foundation stones of success. Perhaps one of the most interesting occasions of when these two talents joined is the occasion when an organist helped a world-famed artist paint a canvas from a photograph, and that canvas helped one of the Pacific Coast's most prominent Radio organists compose an original organ selection. An organ's soft melodies poured out of a loudspeaker in a Hollywood apartment. A few minutes before an announcer's voice had said: "This is KHJ. You will now hear an informal organ recital by Wesley B. Tourtellotte of the Don Lee staff." The man in the apartment was Charles Emerson Conway, international artist and illustrator. In his hands were two unusual photographs—one of the break of dawn, with flares of sunrise colors shooting into the eastern skies. The scene was taken across the tops of the White mountains in the famous Owens' Valley in California. The other photograph, taken a few seconds after the other, but shooting into the west, showed the first rays of the morning sun striking the top of Mt. Whitney, 14,501 feet high, the highest peak in the United States, and its sister peaks in the great Sierra range. Both photos had been made from the same spot—one shooting into the east, the other shooting into the west. As Conway studied the photographs, the organ music swept his artist soul into far-off places of the world where he had painted—Africa with its silver- golden moonlight nights at Johannes- burg, Durban and Nairobi, the jumping off places for big game hunting parties; Australia, Hawaii, the Phil- lipines, the Dutch Indies, the tropics and other far-off spots where color rules the universe.

She was also the feature artist on the 1300th anniversary of the founding of York Minster. The rapidity of Miss Brunskill's rise to fame has been remarkable. She is in great demand not only in Great Britain but on the continent. At a recent appearance in Amsterdam and at The Hague she was presented to the Queen Mother and Princess Juliana after her appearance in Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius." Miss Brunskill made her debut in 1920 at the Aeolian hall, London. In 1922 she joined the British National Opera company, and for five years sang the leading contralto roles.
