They have objected to each subsequent engagement but Miss Rea knew what she wanted and her decisions won. She de- cided to make phonograph rec- ords—and did; to go into opera— and did; and then into radio— and did, becoming one of the best known sopranos on the air. Married, Miss Rea in private life is Mrs. Edgar Sittig, lives in Stroudsberg, Pa. (not too far from New York City) is devoted to her music and hopes her voice carries some of her own happi- ness into the lives of those who listen to it. “Musical Moments” is presented Mondays, Wednesdays and Thurs- days at 9 p.m. (CST). “| 10:00—Weather forecast 10:01—Henry Busse and Orch. 30—Ted is and Orch, i Reisman's Phillip Morris} 12: Saturday, May 8 akfast s—Vaughn de 5—Gospel Sin 0—Silver Clow Mail Order Co.

U. marathon race from the ancestral home of George Wash- ington in Mount Vernon to the White House will be broadcast over the NBC- KFYR network from 3:30 to 4 p. m., (CST), Saturday, May 30. ‘The marathon, over a distance of 26 miles, 285 yards, will be the final try-out in which American distance runners can win a place on the team j which will compete in the Olympic jgames at Berlin, Germany, in Au- |gust. The race is sponsored by the Washington Evening Star. Some of the country’s leading run- in the annual sports event. Among probable con- testants are Pat Dengis, national mar- athon champion; Johnny Kelley, win- ner of the 1935 Boston marathon; Dave Komonen, famous Finn now liv- ing in Canada end twice U. 8. cham- pion; Paul De Bruyn, German Olym- pic racer in 1932; Mell Porter and Leslie Pawson, favorites to win places on the Olympic team. An NBC announcer on a bicycle, with a pack transmitter strapped to his back, will pick up the race as the runners speed across the bridge over the Potomac. The announcer will pedal along with the leading runners, describing the fight as the racers spurt in the final laps for a lead. Another NBC sports announcer will be stationed at the zero mile post on the southern side of the White House, to describe the final burst of speed wrich will crown the winners. Richard Crooks Will Sing Farewell Soon Richard Crooks, star of the air and one of the most popular tenors of all time, will sail May 27 for Australia and New Zealand to fill concert en- gagements in more than 50 cities on the other side of the world. Mrs. Crooks and their two children, Pa- tricla and Richard, Jr., will accom- pany the famous tenor. The approaching tour will be a com- bination business and pleasure trip, with plenty of fishing and outdoor activities included in the Crooks’ schedule. Included in the luggage will be a favorite camera and an adequate sup- ply of reels, rods and bait suitable for both ocean and inland fishing. Picture hunting and fishing are two of Crooks’ favorite sports. Many criminals are bel articies of stolen property recovered as a result of a daily broadcast from KFYR of police bulletins sponsored by the North Dakota Sheriffs and Peace Officers association. Peace of- ficers inform the state bureau of identification of all crimes and the bureau transmits the information to KFYR, where it is recorded on blank forms which are identical to those used by peace officers throughout the state. As the announcer gives the information in the bulletin the offi- cers copy it. In many instances ar- rests have been made within a few minutes after the broadcast. Al Lowrey, KFYR staff announcer and organist, recently was promoted to position of program director. Al's thorough knowledge of music makes THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1936 for Broadcasting Nation: FIVE PICKUP POINTS ALREADY PLANNED IN HUGE MERTING HALL Lippmann, Thompsen, Hard and McNamee Will Head Staff of Experts to Be Heard THOMAS, HILL TO COMMENT Microphone for Each Delegation in Hall Planned; Color De- scriptions Arranged ' Plans for broadcasting the 1936 Re- publican National convention in Cleveland over its combined coast-to- coast networks have been announced by the NBC. Walter Lippman, author and po- litical columnist; Dorothy Thompson, author and journalist; William Hard, political commentator, and Graham McNamee, veteran announcer, will head the NBC staff of experts cov- ering the proceedings in the Cleve- land auditorium. Lowell Thomas, Ed- win C. Hill and other news com- mentators will broadcast from Cleve- land during the meetings. Highlights of the convention, which will be convened at 10 a. m., (CST) Tuesday, June 9, will be picked up through the most comprehensive technical equipment ever devised, and carried over the largest networks in convention history. Like Football Announcer Among various innovations will be the “pause-interpreter,” a commen- tator who, with a microphone beside will be seated on the speaker's form. His job will be similar to of the football announcer who explains what is going on during “time out” at a game. While dele- gates themselves still are wondering what question of procedure has halted action temporarily, the radio audi- ence will be hearing the complete story from the “pause interpreter.” The NBC will operate from five pickup points—the floor, the speaker's stand, the “pause interpreter,” the announcers’ booth in the proscenium arch and a special studio on the bal- cony floor. This last will be used for interviews with political leaders and visitors. For the first time in political con- vention history, there will be a micro- phone on the floor of the hall for each delegation. These microphones will be under the direct control of the permanent chairman through .the medium.of a specially designed panel board on the speakers’ rostrum. This will permit the chairman, the spec- tators and the radio audience to hear every detail of the convention's pro- ceedings. The work of the political experts will be supplemented by NBC staff announcers, including Bennett Grauer, George Hicks and Tom Man- ning, who will give the listeners color picturues of the proceedings on the convention floor and of the activities of party leaders behind the scenes. The NBC convention staff will be un- der the personal direction of Alfred H. Morton, manager of the program department. First Broadcast in 1924 Graham McNamee became famous as a radio personality during the first broadcasts from a national political convention, the Republican meeting of 1924, which also was held in Cleve- land. There were no floor pickups in that series of broadcasts. The an- nouncers reported the voting, de- scribed the proceedings and even read Speeches after they had been deliv- ered. A mere handful of 18 radio sta- tions in the east and middle west were linked for the 1924 conventions, Ninety-six stations in coast-to-coast networks will broad- cast the political meetings this year. Because of the increased import: ance of radio at the political conven- tion, the committee on arrangements has revised the usual schedule so that the keynote speech and important sessions will be at night, instead of in the daytime as heretofore. Radio of: ficials predict that the largest net- work in history will be linked to the microphones in the 5 stand when Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon, temporary chairman of the Republican National convention, de- livers the keynote speech at 7 p. m., (CST), Tuesday, June 9. To aid the safety on the highways campaign, KFYR is inserting between NBC sustaining programs brief safety him especially suited to his new work.

He was, to be sure, a highly suc- cessful and well-established enter- tainer insofar as the country’s vaude- ville circuits and the Broadway musi- cal comedy and revue stage Were con- cerned. He was statring in the Earl Carroll “Vanities,” but gave up his lucrative role to give this thing called radio the once-over. As Jack explains it, “So many of our friends were get- ting into it, I thought I ought to see what it was all about and if I was missing anything.” First With His first effort at broadcasting oc- curred when Ed Sullivan, famous Broadway columnist, invited him to make a guest appearance on a net- work show he was conducting.
