Radio as a business is looking forward to one of the most active seasons since | it became an impertant unit in the manufacturing industry. \ Statistical experts estimate that 2,500,000 new receivers will be placed in American homes before the 1928-9 season gives way to another year. They say that a big-share of this business will consist of replacements. i One influence credited with adding impetus to the interest in radio is poli- | tics. The fact that big parties have | made plans to make part of the cam-! paign effort /through broadoesting is | thought to have given ris> to an in- crease in the demand for sats. Inerease ds Seen. Both Bond P. Geddes, executive vice | president of the:Radio Manufacturers’ | Association, end Harold J. Wrape, presi- i dent of ¢he ‘Federated Radio Trade As- | sociation, say that all indications point !to a considerable increase in the vol- ume of business over last year. “I bolieve that the n now open- id Mr. Gedd vill sce more | 2.500.000 new receivers in opera- tion. Manufeciur-rs all over the coun- | iry arc unusually busy, and reports to hom indicate that the domand is the st in several years.” ‘Reports from all imporiant centers.” Mr. Wrappe said, “point to a gréat radio year. It is expected to surpass all others in the number of receivers installed.” Most of the new receiver models are designed for alternating current tubes, operating direct from the house current. New direct eurrent tube models are few, but nearly every manufacturer has at least one. Advance in Speakers. Th> grcatast advance of the year secms to have been in speakers.

Investigators from the Smithsonian Institution have been working in the region of Samana, arcund the bay where Columbus first landed and where he was met by a fight of native arrows.

(#).—From ob- scurity in a State school for the blind, | Miss Elsie McBride has become, within a few weeks, one of the most popular musical entertainers of this city, all be- cause of a chance appearance before the microphone at WBRC. A student at Talladega, Miss Mc- Bride, who is just 19, was little known as a musician outside of school. Her rich soprano voice and talent for play- , her own accompaniments caught the fancy of a patron at a school re- cital. WBRC heard of her and an in- vitation to appear on a program fol- lowed. She accepted and since has made two other appearances, with in- creasing success. RADIO BOARD BANS PHONOGRAPHS ON AIR Commission Holds It Against Pub- lic Policy to Send *Cann Music. By the Associated Presa. Use of phonograph records by bread- casting stations located in large cities is frowned upon by the Federal Radio Commission. The commission’s attitude ‘a set forth in a monograph eutlining the basi: principles and fts interpretations of the “public intercst. convenience or | necessity” clause of the radio act. some | of which were invoked in reaching de- cisions in recent s of siations on tria). “In view of the paucity of channels | the commisgion ds of the opinjon that the limited 1acilities for broaticasting sheuld not be shared with ions which give the sort of service which is readily available to the public in an- other form,” the report says. “For example, the public in large cities can -easily purchase and usc phonograph records of the ordinary commercial type. A station which de- votes the main portion of its hours of | operation- to broadcasting such phono- graph records is not giving the publiz anything which it cannot readily have without such a station. ; “The situation is not the same in | some of the smaller towns and farming | communities, where program material | is not always available.

You can’t cheat in radio. A true and sincere interpretation of a dramatic role is essential if & broad- cast drama is to hold its audience. These statements come from Emma Dunn, a famous actress who now de- votes a part of her time to radio drama. She_recently has spoken in the series of Biblical dramas broadcast by WRC and its associated stations. “An actor may fool an audience, but | he won't fool the microphone,” said Miss Dunn. “The ‘mike’ has an un- carny ability to detect the true feelings of the speaker, no matter what are the lines he is speaking. Radio registers the thought behind the tone so accurately that it is impossible to cheat in a single lnil«lnce, no matter how beautiful the voice. “An artist speaking into the micro- phone cannot see his audience and has no way of telling whether he is ‘going over.’ There is only one thing for him to do—that is to play the part with every bit of sincerity and fervor that is within him. If he is a sincere actor, then he need not worry. If he is play- ing a happy-go-lucky juvenile role and at the same time is worried about some personal problem the ‘mike’ and the loudspeaker will reveal the fear that is in him. If he allows his thoughts to wander, then the mind of the “Because of this peculiarity of radio reproduced tone people are noticing vocal sounds that are objectionable but that heretofore have gone unnoticed. Radio is doing more to teach us the true value of tone than anything that has come into human experience.” New Scries of Opera Broadecasts. | Important ravivals of scveral famous | operas as well as salections from | siandard repertoire of the Chicago | Cit Opera Co. are to be included in | o serics of operatic broadeasts to b2 ads during the coming scason by the Naticnal Broadeesting Co. The opsning performance is sched- uled October 31. One act will b> broad- cast through the N. B. C. system under{ the same arrangcment that was car- ried cut last season. Preceding each broadeast the announcer will give a brief synopsis of the production and identify the artists appearing in the various major rolcs. Whenever there is a_paus2 the announcer will explain the Free Home Demenstration of action of the production and give a description of the settings. Information from Chicago indicates that magnificent new productions are being constructed for three of the re- vivals in the repertoire, “The mn'lue. of Pigaro,” “Norma” and “Tales of| Hoffman.” The first two of these| operas will be sung in Italian and the third in Prench. Other revivals listed are “The Force of Destiny,” “Don Spanish Hour,” Werrenrath in New Feature. The notable experiments of Walter | Damrosch toward the symphonic educa- tion of the American people by radio are to be duplicated in the realm of song by Reinald Werrenrath, one of America's foremost baritones. The new venture will be launched with the inauguration of a series of programs _under the general title, ~Famous Songs and Those Who Made Them,” to be heard each Sunday night through stations associated with the National Broadcasting Co. The insugural program will go out over the N. B. C. system on Sunday night, September 16 Heralded as a series of ‘“broadeasts in the laboratory method,” each song will be introduced personally by Mr. Werrenrath with notes on how ths music came to be written, anecdotes from the composer’s life, and a simple | analysis of its musical “architecture.” Songs to be presented have not been picked at random, but were carefully chosen to preserve a coherent unity in cach program. Thus the sclections will bz “seen” not only in the light of their own music, but also in the reflected colors of their relationship to each | other. Certain programs will deal ex- clusively with works of one composer: others will contain the songs of one important period: still oth-rs will illus- trate ballads of a certain tvpe or songs .based on thomos of a similar nature. .
