Radio Minister of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America SJT IS superfluous to expatiate on the Radio. It has done more than any other tm scientific marvel to convince the nations that there is a Divinity which shapes g-^ jtL their ends, "rough hew them," as men may. Its well nigh universal ministries, \^/ developed by leaps and bounds after the anarchies created by the World War, have breathed a common mind, a common culture, and a common purpose into the seething disturbances of our common humanity. The people at large are intent on rationalized industry, national solidarity and international good will because this miracle of the viewless air transmits a superior intelligence and morality, making them available for all and sundry. The elevation of the public taste for entertainment which is whole- some and stimulative of the best life proceeds apace. Of course there are in the Radio grave possibilities of those evil communications which corrupt good manners. We also recognize that nothing is necessarily true because it is either widely circulated or widely accepted. Yet after every qualification has been made, the decisive factor remains that the choicest music, literature, drama, economic information and educational methods are at the daily disposal of countless hosts of Radio listeners. The broadcastings agencies of our country have treated religion with the utmost consid- eration and generosity. In order to promote its oneness and prevent its differences, the officials of those agencies had to carefully ascertain how to diffuse "the things of the spirit" which underly all sectarian separations. Since religion is closely identified with ecclesiastical organizations, creeds and rituals, it is clear that no one denomination can be exalted at the expense of the rest. Hence the vital questions: What is religion, as understood by those who are charged with the responsibility of "The Radio's Religious Influence?" How can their presen- tations be made effective for Protestants and Catholics, Jews and Gentiles? And what is perhaps more pertinent: how can the utterances which challenge attention week days and Lord's Days commend themselves to the fifty millions who attend no Church and hold no allegiance to any form of faith? First, such presentations must be non-controversial, in the sense that they attack no sincere efforts, by whomsoever attempted, to explain the ways of God toward men. Second, they must be conferential, in the sense that they invite response, and the ben- efits of mutual understanding and appreciation. The professed Christian who regards all who are not of his peculiar tribe as outcast and doomed has no worth while message for a Radio audience. Third, these presentations must breathe and embody the spirit of sacrificial love and purifying goodness. The noble declaration of the prophet Micah is the Old Testament (i the thou watchword of Israel's religion: " He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the 5 boys , the Lord thy God require of thee, but to do justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy some that ; God." Every right minded child of Abraham feels the force of Micah' s historic summary. ouching. I The New Testament conclusively shows that a churchman may possess every coveted and the Kir. ersuade gift of external religion, and nevertheless miss its internal beauty and power. He may Am lto the Gn angelic elucidate all theological speak with an tongue, mysteries, conquer the realms of seven-year-( knowledge, exercise compelling faith, bestow his goods on the poor, and even give his body to be wrote to burned. Yet St. Paul solemn^ asseverates: "If I have not love, it profiteth me nothing." • and the let at Amos is ; THIS love is no nebulous sentimentahsm which pities the sufferer and then passes him by. It is the holy in that Ho passion, divinely given, which claims unlimited self sacrifice on the part of its recipients. It demands I am se that the interest and safety of the whole body of citizenship shall be set above all private interests, and become saved up tr. the controlling motive of individual service for the welfare of humanity.

We decided on these definite locations after our many visits to Harlem and we tried not to pick out any real addresses, of course, but rather to generalize, so that no one spot could be said to be the place, although it remained in the neighborhood." So while the investigator might find that Amos 'n' Andy lived under a bridge or the taxicab company office was in a vacant lot, if they check up on the addresses, Amos says that if they were to give trfc actual address, it might cause a lot of annoyance to people living there. This is illustrated by an incident that happened in one of their episodes. For some reason or other, and not at all by choice, the boys used an actual number for Madame Queen, and the Harlem woman whose telephone it was, throughout that night and the next day answered more than six hundred telephone calls, asking for Madame Queen and inquiring for Andy. Finally the poor woman grew desperate and requested relief from the telephone company and the NBC. That solved the amaze- ment of the telephone company at the astonishing activity for that particular number, because they had been forced to detail an extra girl for that exchange to put through the calls. Now Amos 'n' Andy have two Harlem numbers reserved for their own use. These are Harlem 5912 and Harlem 6119. The boys are very apologetic about the incident. "We won't make that mistake again," says Gosden. "We felt sorry for the poor woman who was pestered. I don't know how we ever happened to get that particular number, but now that we have numbers assigned to us we will be all right."

HUSH, Shush, and Sho', Sho', — there's a deep dark secret S about that well known pair of Radioland about to be revealed. Did you know that Mrs. Amos and Mrs. Andy, back- ground abettors of all that is said and done by those famous broadcasters, are almost as interesting as their husbands? Off-stage, of course. And these wives of so widely heralded a pair of funsters are actually gleeful when informed that their purposeful seclusion and hiding behind this pair of household Radio pets has made them almost thoroughly unknown. In some parts they are not even known to exist. Few women are so reticent. But, perhaps, there is some wisdom in it. "That's just the idea," chorus the two of them to all would-be interviewers. "We are truly delighted to let our husbands absorb all of the rarified public ether. "We're equally happy to bask quietly and effectively, albeit, as kindly critics and silent partners, in the homey atmosphere of our Chicago apartment hotel homes where we can hear them just as others do. And oft times we tell them some things about their performance that others would not tell them. We don't want them spoiled entirely, you know. But we do think they're great, grand and lovable. We love them. Yes, we do! Perhaps that's why we keep in the background just as much as possible, although they do not wish us to." That being the gist of what Mrs. Amos and Mrs. Andy usually chorus to all interviewers, what you are to read now, many secr,ets, great and small, you will understand were gathered by a bit of close eaves- dropping which proved most effective.

Often it is no less devastating. Success for Freeman F. Gosden and Charles J. Correll, better known as Amos and Andy, finds them level headed and serenely alive to every opportunity of the moment. Five years ago there was no such thing as Amos and Andy. Today Amos and Andy are perhaps better known to a greater number of people than any other entertainers in America. Many brilliantly talented artists strive for a lifetime for public favor and end their days comparatively unknown. There was nothing particularly remarkable in young Curly Gosden, as he was known in Richmond when a boy, no out- standing trait to indicate Destiny had picked him for fame and glory. His father died while he still was a young boy of 12 (and you will read the story of his boyhood in the next Radio Digest). In the Gosden household was a negro mammy, who had a son about the same age as young Freeman. The black boy's name was Snowball. From Snowball and the mammy Curly absorbed the characteristics and traits now so popular in the American mind in the person of Amos. He acquired the common school education easily but did not go through to graduation. He wanted to be doing something that he considered at the time to be more worthwhile. In that, perhaps, may be found the starting point of his dreams of future success. Opportunity for doing the things he wanted to do as a voca- tion did not present itself. At any rate he spent all his spare moments practicing for the benefit shows gotten up by the local amateurs. His exceptional ability finally came to the attention of professional managers. He was offered a position to join a producer. His older brother reluctantly gave consent. It was the first time a member of the family had left Richmond to go into business. Besides, it was difficult to see where any great success could come from such a venture. Even young Freeman had nothing particularly brilliant to offer in the way of a future along this line. It was simply a case of going out and helping to stage other amateur theatricals in conjunction with local fraternal organizations. BUT there, it seems, is where Old Madam Destiny did her stuff with the threads (Continued on page 93) 'Is I Bh Amos sings gleefully.

For an inveterate romanticist, what could be more appro- priate than a position as the director of dramatics for a Radio station such as the 50,000-watt Crosley broadcaster, WLW, from which the pattern of dreams she creates floats out to millions of listeners in every condition of life and every state of mind. Hence it is not strange, is it, that Helen Rose should most enjoy writing and directing the Spoken Operas? That the kings and queens and princesses and gay adventurers who wander through the pages of the great operas are to her almost as real as the actors whom she trains to play the parts?

For months, weeks or perhaps only days, the important occasion has been publicized. It may be a football game, the arrival in this country of a foreign notable, the funeral of a national hero, a parade, a dinner of moment, a prize fight or the inaugural ceremonies bringing a new President to these United States. Whatever it may be the zero hour arrives for the listener when a station announcer speaks the magic words, "The next voice yon hear will be that of !" And, believe me, the zero hour has arrived for the reporting announcer, or, as sometimes happens, for the several reporting announcers working on the one assignment. When President Hoover was inaugurated the National Broadcasting company had six reporters stationed at different points in the capital city and one man broadcasting his reactions of the event from an airplane! The man in the plane was Bill Lynch, literally a reporter of the air. The preparation for the microphoning of a big event starts many days prior to the scheduled occasion. As a rule there is very little trouble with the political and technical problems involved but sometimes red tape gets all tangled up with the ether and a lot of "hemming and Babe Ruth and Graham McNamee look things over at Yankee Field. In the lower left hand hand corner you see Phillips Carlin discuss- ing weather with Lynch. 2.1 give HISTORY in MAKING Daily Now Going into Makeup Thrills for Millions When the to Tell the Waiting World Hobart hawing" takes place before the operation can be definitely assured. When the Graf Zeppelin arrived in this country the war department was reluctant to permit announcers to get close enough to give any intimate descriptions of the big bag. It took a great deal of coaxing on the part of the heads of the chain systems to convince certain government officials that neither McNamee, Husing nor any of the other air reporters covering that assignment were the type of bad boys who go about stealing balloons! WHEN a broadcaster decides to give an etherized report of an event the first procedure is to obtain permission from the proper authorities, either national, state or city department heads, if the occasion is of a public character. If it is of a private nature, as, for instance, a prize fight, the dickering is done with the promoter of the contest who gives his permission on receipt of a sizable check. The amount involved depends on just how much pressure the promoter feels the broadcaster will stand before blowing up. The price quoted for the privilege of giving the world a ringside description of the late fiasco in Florida, the swoon- song of Scott when he met Sharkey, was thirty thousand dollars. You didn't hear any blow-by-blow word picture of that fight on your Radio, did you? The answer is, "No, my listeners, thirty thousand dollars is still thirty thousand dollars." When authorized permission has been granted the broad caster the telephone company is instructed to furnish communication lines from the seat of the broadcast (Continued on page 104) It's action every minute when Ted Husing's at the mike.

"I have said already that I have nothing to tell," said "I ought to be ashamed, Andregg, stony in determination. I suppose," he said as he Mr. Nemo's smile only brightened. "And," he resumed softly, "if, when I have talked with Dr. Andregg, and thereafter can assure you on my honor that I know he is not concealing any guilty secret in this matter, will you gentlemen be satisfied with that?" "Yes!" burst out Laufer-Hirth. We all know who and what Mr. Nemo is; we all know that his word is sufficient. If Dr. Andregg care's to satisfy Mr. Nemo, he satisfies us all." Mr. Nemo rose and drew close to Andregg, whispering something into his ear. Andregg stiffened visibly; his eyes flew wide open. His mouth, too, opened for speech and, while bal- anced impulses strove in his breast, remained open wordlessly. "Dr. Andregg and I shall require not more than a five minutes' conference in his room," said Mr. Nemo. "You will await my report here?" He stepped out of the room in high confi- dence. After the briefest of pauses Dr. Andregg followed him. Five minutes later Mr. Nemo entered, still smiling. "I have left Dr. Andregg in his room," he said, addressing Captain Temple. "He has ex- plained to me, entirely satisfactorily, about the object which he was seen to pick up on the floor near the body of Mainwaring Parks. It was his own personal property; it has no bear- ing on the major question. I am entirely sat- isfied and trust that my satisfaction may extend to you also." "To be sure we are all satisfied," said Laufer-Hirth with an attempt at spontaneity and heartiness. Captain Temple nodded curtly to the sergeant; the two left the room, keeping step. A look flashed between Mr. Mohun and Mr. Nemo; they went, the man at the heels of the master, to their rooms. Laufer-Hirth, mumbling to himself, under his breath, shambled away to the living room. He found the fire dying down in the living room; the intense cold of the outdoors began to shove its frosty nozzle in here. He roared at the two Filipino boys to go get wood. They were afraid. The wood was in the basement. They had heard sat down. "Just couldn't help myself, that's all, Mr. Laufer- something down there! Hirth."

(I think I'll see if I can't trade my fountain pen for a piccolo.) The manager of the theatre told Guy that he had broken all previous records for gross receipts and that people were now coming to his theatre who had never been there before. "Just a minute," I stopped him short. Maybe I was just getting nervous and in an argumentative mood, but there was something I wanted to ask, right now.

The request to cancel with Columbia was refused when the Chicago office investigated this sudden popularity of Lom- bardo's band.- He was given a free hand in the matter of rhythm when they made Carmen's Coquette and the then popular Beloved in his own manner. These two records were the first in slow tempo to be released by any of the phonograph companies. The Royal Canadians and Columbia shared honors in a new field.

The popular idea seems to be that our foremost orchestra leaders are young upstarts with patent leather hair, a smirk and no brains, character or intellect. We have young bond salesmen, clerks and real estate men whom we respect for hard work and study. Orchestra leaders have often had more real trials to face than any of these. Modern dance music and the rendition of modern dance music is as commendable a vocation as any. It requires much back- ground and serious application, for it is a business transacted by business men of Ted Weems' caliber. To the fact that his mother and father were amateur musi- cians at the time of his birth twenty-eight years ago in Pitts- burgh, Ted Weems can undoubtedly attribute a great part of his present success and fame. Though music and musical study was not forced upon him, the love of it was instilled in him from earliest childhood. At the age of six, Ted was playing the violin and without doubt practicing his smile as a sideline. Surely such a smile as he now has could not be a very recent acquisition. The young Ted was so fond of violin he planned to make it his life work, but after studying music at the Conservatory in Pittsburgh for some time and appearing in amateur per- formances with his brother, Arthur, two years his junior, he looked longingly at the trombone and finally gave up the violin for the wind instrument. Arthur, who even now is with Ted in the orchestra, confined his ability and practice to ,the trumpet. By the time Ted had struggled through some six or seven years of grade school in the ordinary small boy fashion, teas- ing teachers and playing hookey, he had mastered the trom- bone. : In the last years of grade school life his talent was dragged from under the proverbial bushel and placed in the spotlight of a school band whose duty it was to furnish marches and folk songs for the students. This he enjoyed immensely and, perhaps, Ted Weems, the orchestra leader, was born then. This, though it was the first orchestra Ted had graced, was by no means the last, for during his high school years in West Philadelphia he spent much of his time in the band. His native ability to win the confidence and admiration of people, to guide deftly, and his already finely developed knowledge of music, threw him into prominence almost at once as band Not "just a patent-leather kid," as master and leader of the West Philadelphia High School many people think of orchestra leaders, but a real man orchestra. Already at the culmination of high school, Ted who knows and loves his music is Ted Weems. Even Weems was working with music. He had become assistant now his days of broadcasting may be limited, as the concert master of the West Philadelphia Symphony orchestra theatrical booking business and television are calling him. and the title fell gracefully on his youthful shoulders. He learned music because he loved it and because he understood melody and harmony.

For instance, once he engaged himself to a motion picture company for the round sum men- tioned, undertaking as his side of the contract to turn himself over in a motor car on a macadam road, to en- able the company's cameras to get a hundred feet or so of film that would present to startled fans a wild son of the gilded rich, who are always wicked, coming to grief because of too much wine, women and song. He actually did it. That is, he turned the car over on the road, and remained inside of it himself. He had to try a dozen ways before he managed the trick, for a car never turns over as easily intentionally as it does unin- tentionally. First, he attempted to turn a corner sharp enough to upset the big road- ster, and he picked a place where there was a turn at which even the usual speeder on the road slowed down to twenty miles an hour, and where there was a bank that sloped away to the roadside woods, out upon which he could run on the turn, so as to give the car an additional tilt. The picture peo- ple set up their cameras and Breck drove at and around the turn at a pace of something between fifty and sixty —and rounded it on two wheels, both sliding all the way across the macadam and halfway out the bank, throwing dirt nearly to the tops of the trees, but turning the curve and settling back on all fours quite as if such things were all in the day's work for any car. Of course, they explained it by say- ing that the soft earth bank eased the impulse of the motor to overturn. Doubtless it did, though that had not been at all the thing that Breck had thought it would do. He thought the soft earth would serve to catch his off wheels and stop them short, tripping the car like a deep rut, and throwing it over upon a good place to land. Or, rounding the curve, he thought he might turn over as he struck the road again at an angle that would bring him all and when broadside first. But he didn't.

For the past eight years she has been writing about zvomcn's clothes in newspapers and maga- zines and her laboratory has extended from coast to coast of the United States. When Miss Blizard was offered the position of fashion director of Columbia she accepted immediately for, through the medium of Radio, she feels she can reach the largest possible audience and thus be of value to many more women of the country.

EIGHT years ago, May 11, 1922, to be exact, three faint "hellos" spoken by M. A. Mulrony, builder of the sta- tion, climaxed a thrilling race to make KGU the first station to broadcast in Hawaii. Today the new KGU operates on 1,000 watts, with a 5,000 capacity, from the third floor of the new Honolulu Advertiser building. As he built the first KGU, so Mulrony built the new one. It was he who first persuaded the Advertiser to add this new service. It was planned at first to complete the work in two months, but then came word that another station was projected and it was decided to cut this time in half. As the weeks passed it became a bitter race between the two stations. Finally came word that KGU would be on the air at noon, followed almost simultaneously by the announce- ment that the competitor planned to start operations at eleven o'clock. There was a hurried conference which resulted in Mulrony opening his microphone at 10:57 that morning. The story of the trials and tribulations of KGU is an old one, familiar to all Radio men and fans. As the years passed personnel changed, the com- These young women dressed in the costumes of a bygone day are not old- fashioned or opposed to short skirts.

Dr. Clark, one of Radio's earliest edu- cators, has just completed his first year on the air as a teacher of French over the Columbia chain and plans this new course for embryo travelers via the same system. The Doctor introduced a new form in Radio instruction in his French courses, his "college yell" greatly sim- plifying the art of teaching. During his fifteen-minute broadcasts over a period of a year Dr. Clark has accumulated 8,135 unsolicited fan letters. Two Birds Double Time TWO little birds—real ones—are working twice as hard as in the "old days." Blue Boy and Dicky, renowned bird virtuosos of the National Broad- casting company, have doubled their broadcasting, now appearing twice a day, with Cheerio and also the Parnas- sus Trio. Miss Elizabeth Freeman is the owner and trainer of this talented team. Dot Harrington, the little comedienne formerly heard as the tough show girl in "Mrs. Murphy's Boarding House," and several current Columbia produc- tions, has lived in New York all her life and never seen the Statue of Liberty.

Palange THIRTY-TWO years ago an eighteen year-old Italian boy, confident and alert, arrived in New York from his native Torremaggiore, in the Province of Foggia. He arrived with a capital of eleven cents, although when he left Italy his family supplied him with a purse of gold sufficient to give him his start in life in the new- country.

Burchard LARGE Radio programs today are run just like a football team. The announcer corresponds to the quarter- back who calls signals for the team. He in turn receives his orders from the production manager who corresponds to the coach. In football it is the coach who has charge of the preliminary training and of getting his men into fighting trim, polishing up his team-work and perfect- ing their co-operation for offense and defense. In Radio it is the production manager who lines up the programs after musical directors, continuity writer and program planners have provided for the component parts. Such a job is the one now held by Jean Paul King at WLW and WSAI. For a month before assuming these duties King was a member of the an- nouncing staff at the Crosley station. In his new capacity it will be King's job to see that the programs go on and off the air with the proper style and flourish. And take it from anyone who knows, that is one real job, involving hours of rehearsing, cutting and fitting of musical numbers and continuity, and the unifica- tion of all entertainment bits into a coherent whole. Lots of Jean Paul's friends will re- member him from the old days out on the Pacific coast. He used to be one of the big guns at KHQ. Before that he was chief announcer for the NBC Pacific Division, serving also as dramatic Three Foxy Grandmas decided to show the younger generation a thing or two and organized their own group to broadcast from KSTP. This harmony trio sings both old time and popular melodies. The combined ages of Mrs. Blanche Schaller, Mrs. Martha Lund and Mrs. Josephine Nash total nearly 200 years. director. For a while he was with KFRC, and then took a turn with the Henry Duffy Players in Portland, an- nounced for KGW and finally landed with KHQ as chief announcer, and now to the big job down in Cincinnati. u n WGHP is bringing to its audience a new and novel program, known as The Moonwinkers. The program is under the personal direction of Old Man Moon, himself, who brings before the microphone for the first time the entire Moon family. The Moonwinkers are all prominent Radio artists and enter- tainers who have had long and wide experience before the microphone. The program is devoted exclusively to requests, and the popularity of the feature is established by the hundreds of requests that virtually pour into the station.

Smith Family presentations portray the activities, adventures and everyday life of an average middle class American family. Although this feature has been given practically no publicity and this is the first photograph published, WENR weekly receives hundreds of letters of comment and commendation on the program. The Smith Family came into being February 20, 1929. Harry Lawrence is the "father," writing all of the continuity, while Lester Luther is director and coach. The Family includes approximately eight characters. Father and mother, Ed and Nora Smith, are played by Arthur Wellington and Ma- rion Jordan. Betty, the flapper daughter, is Irma Glenn, and Irene, the older sister, is interpreted by Thora Martens. The role of Joe Fitzgerald, former prize fighter, who is the sweetheart of Irene, is taken by Jim Jordan, while Joe Warner is Morris Rosenberg, Betty's sweetheart. Occasionally Dick Morgan and Pansy Pinkham make their ap- pearance, played by Mr. Luther and Sallie Menkes. "The Smith Family has run the gamut of human emotions. Anyone who has ever run a gamut can appreciate this feat," says Harry Lawrence of his brain children. "In the initial episode Irene and Betty planned an elopement, but through a taxi cab mixup each got the other's boy friend and the plans fell through, both couples deciding to wait a while longer. "Joe Fitzgerald loses a fight because of a^quarrel with Irene over another suitor, the millionaire Dick Morgan. Pansy Pinkham, a chorus girl, enters the race for the Morgan millions and Joe quits the fight game to drive a truck, winning a hill climbing contest, thus saving Father Ed's investment in truck stock and becoming once more Irene's hero.* Dick Morgan proposes a 'round the world trip on his yacht, during the course of which they are wrecked on a South Sea island, where they find Pansy, walking home from a yacht trip. After more adventures they finally reach home, where Pansy marries Dick, leaving the field clear for Joe.

Mother Smith, Father Smith, Irene, Joe Fitzgerald, Betty Smith and Morris Rosenberg. By Ada Lyon NO, IT'S not a fire, nor a circus parade. The crowd on the mezza- nine floor of Hotel Robidoux, St. Joseph, Mo., all day long is there to watch the performers of KFEQ. There are a lot of new ones since W. C. Pollard took over the station on a three-year sublease. He has enrolled two bands and an or- chestra, besides twenty-six regular per- formers. He has kept all the performers who preceded his regime and they are still going strong and are as popular as ever. There are fifteen members in one of Mr. Pollard's bands, nine in another and eleven in the orchestra. Time was when the mezzanine floor, with its softly shaded lamps, its deep comfortable chairs and settees, was' a favorite rendezvous for lovers who wanted to avoid the madding crowd. But no longer. The moment one steps out of the elevator, he is in the thick of a throng of spectators peering through the glass doors in the broadcast room. While formerly two to three hundred letters a week were received, the number has jumped to three or four thousand. Mr. Pollard says that blues singers and old-timers are the favorites, with fiddlers paramount. As for program selections in general, he thinks that old songs and songs of an intermediate period, neither too old or too new, but well known, are most appreciated. THOUSANDS of Radio listeners throughout the Middle West celebra- ted with broadcasting station WMBD, on the "World's Most Beautiful Drive," the opening of its new Hotel Pere Mar- quette studios located in the heart of Peoria's (Illinois) downtown district, in a gala program combining all the sta- tion's brilliant and versatile talent, very recently. _The program began at 8:00 in the eve- ning and continued until the early morn- ing hours. All of the available talent in the city gathered to join in the jubilee and the ether was full of fun and frolic for hours.

American lis- teners who tune in KPRC at Houston, Texas, will hear this peculiar phrase many times during the course of the all-Mexican program presented by the Houston station each Tuesday night. In at least one respect KPRC leads all stations in the United States. Its applause mail from foreign countries nearly equals the response from Amer- ican listeners which is great. Several hundred letters a week bearing the strange postage stamps of foreign countries arrive at the studios of the station. Because of its geographic location KPRC is heard regularly with good volume in Mexico, Central Amer- ica, Cuba and many countries of South America. Realizing the number of listeners KPRC had in Latin America, the owners inaugurated last October an all-Mexican program dedicated to listeners in the southern countries.

With its main studios at Reynosa, oppo- site Hidalgo, Texas, Station XIBC will also broadcast by remote control from Weslaco, Donna, Pharr, San Juan, Mis- sion and McAllen, in the Lone Star state. Scheduled for the opening program festivities was the personal appearance of some of the luminaries of the Radio world, as well as important dignitaries of Mexico and Texas, including the governor of Tamaulipas. A. G. Akeroyd is vice-president and general manager of the International Broadcast chain, operating the station, with William Corthay as studio manager and announcer in charge. Akeroyd at one time was director of the Mexican trade bureau of the San Antonio Cham- ber of Commerce, and connected as a partner with an import and export agency at Laredo and at New Orleans. The new station, which will be used to develop the export trade, was built by W. E. Branch, Radio engineer who constructed WBAP, WBBM, WCCO and WREC. J. N.

Perhaps you remember his work with Charlie Chaplin in "The Gold Rush." It was Tom's cabin that fell over the bank and got buried in the snow ava- lanche.

He was engaged to take part in a great charity concert at the Gallo-Roman theatre at Orange, France, which dates back to the days of Julius Caesar. At the last moment Boudouresque was taken ill and Miss Burnada took his place. It was her first appearance on an important occasion, and she was nat- urally nervous. At the conclusion of her first solo there arose a spontaneous din of applause that hailed a new star, a pre- viously unknown Canadian girl who had become famous over night.

SOME sage once remarked that every- one eats every day, inferring there- from that anything which pertains to this eating would be of widespread inter- est, and that those engaged in the pro- gram of supplying this diurnal human occupation would prosper. In setting up his hypothesis, however, he either overlooked or entirely disre- garded the fact that the very truth of it makes for monotony. True it is that everyone eats or tries to eat every day day after day and day after day—until the process, unless enlivened with new interest and zest, becomes little more than a necessary habit. And while house- wives rack their brains, husbands grumble. "What shall we have to eat today?" It is an international question and the bugaboo of many a woman. Usually, she runs the gamut of steak, pork chops, lamb chops, veal, and ham and so on back again in desperation, fervently and heartily wishing at almost all times that there were some new dish or some new way of preparing an old dish which she could easily learn about.

They wish to play and dawdle with their food. Mothers resort to many schemes to get young Bob or Edith to eat.
