Of course, the actual con- sumption of power through s°t opera- tion predominates in the eves of the power operator, but the high average of hours of operation during the day- light period, when normal -electrical consumption is low, is another item. It utilizes a portion of the overflow or waste current that must be generated and thereby means a two-way saving Then during night radio reception, listeners are inclined to sit up longer, using additional current for illuminat- ing.

On the stage an actor is recoy. nized as a certain character. once the play starts, because the audience secs him. In the radio drama he must be recognized by his voice. At the same time the voices must all be natura! and fitted to the character of the individual impersonated. It is, therefore, difficuit | to find suitable actors for radio drama “Although not noticeable or obtrusive, it is necessary for each character to speak the name of the person ad more often than on the stage. For example | “‘What do you desire, Paul Revere”’ comes to you in one distinctive voice, *‘Why. the Red Coats are coming,’ says an entirely different voice. ‘T teil | you they are coming, John Haneock they are almost at our door.
