“SMALLER TIMER" ON WRC TONIGHT Jack McBryde Will Be Star of Vaudeville Presentation in Eveready Hour. A dramatic presentation of the| “Smaller Timer,” which is built around life cn the vaudeville stage, will be the Eveready Hour presentation tonight over WRC and associated stations. Jack MacBryde, himself a vaudevillian, and later star of several Broadway produc- tions, nas been especially engaged to Rosaline Green, y, and a large company of artists will assist him. The Voters’ Service broadcast of WRO at 7 o'clock ill bring before the microphone Assistant Secretary of State Castle and former Attorney General George W. Wickersham. Mr. Castle will present “The Present Status of the Paris Peace Pact,” while Mn Wicker- sham has selected as his topic, “The New Horoscope of Peace—What Next?” Outstanding among WRC's other at- tractions are the weekly Keith-Orpheum vaudeville hour, the Clicquot Eskimos and the Prophylactic program. The Eskimos will introduce a comedy specialty on Igloo etiquette described, “Embarrassing Moments.” “Raga- muffin,” “I Want a Man,” “My Old Man.” “Cottonland,” “Louise” and “Hello, Swanee,” are also included in the program.

WMAL also will introduce a new feature tonight to be identified as Mobo | Entertainment. It will be a half hour of musical mirth and melody, mixed with comedy provided by Mo and Bo, colored comedians. Guy Lombardo and his Royal Cana- dians will close the WMAL broadcast | with an hour’s program of snappy dance tunes, interspersed with songs by ‘Wendell Hall, “the red-headed music maker.” Jack Mullane’s Masqueraders and Amos 'n_Andy are the principal attrac- tions of WOL. A variety program, pro- vided chiefly by its regular staff artists, is announced by WJSV. RADIO EXPERTS ASK AID FOR TELEVISION Liberal Attitude by U. S. in Regu- tions Urged to Help It Advance. By the Associated Press. What might properly be called “America’s Hall of Radio Fame’—the men who made broadcasting—gathered 1 in Washington the other day. ‘The casual observer would have re- garded the assembly ds more than the general run of business men who so often drop in on the National Capital to air their views before a Fed- eral agency. Yet in this unostentatious group, crowded in a smoke-filled room, were those who in an dibly short time have brought radio from the freak stage to a popular public utility. The Federal Radio Commission was seeking expert counsel in rearing radio’s youngsters—television and picture trans- mission. And the old masters, probably recalling the handicaps and curtail- ments that once hampered the growth of aural broadcasting, with the typical of their kind, advised a liberal nt attitude in the regulation of vision. In an inconspicuous place in the second yow was Dr. Lee De Forrest, celebrated inventor, _sitti shoulder to shoulder with lawyers and engineers of the Radio Corporation of America, with whom he hnhomn waged fierce battle over patent its. In the last row sat Dr. Prank Conrad, the “father of broadcasting,” in whose barn in Pittsburgh KDKA, first of the program_stations, had its inauspicious origin. There also was C. Francis Jen- kins, inventor of the motion picture projector and of radio movies. Nearly every other man in the room was a radio engineer, inventor or broadcaster of note. Dr. De Forrest recalled that a scant 10 years ago a Federal radio inspector summarily ordered him to stop broad- casting records apd vaudeville sketches from his station because “there was no place in the ether for programs.” “And I stopped,” said the veteran inventor. If television is not hedged in by re- strictions it will develop much more rapidly, he declared. Although not di- rectly interested in the development of picture transmission, he advised that ft be allowed in the broadcast band with Teasonable restriction. Most of the engineers are agreed that the public and the broadcaster of good standing are the best judges in deter- mining how much picture entertainment should be given. But the day when radiovision will bring a foot ball game, a prize fight or a horse race into the home is still in the shadowy future, they say. FATHER OF GIRL SUICIDE JAILED AS BOY IS SHOT By the Associated Press. FORT PAYNE, Ala., March 12.—Two weeks after Evelyn Smith, 15-year-old Mentone, Ala., girl, was said by officers to have shot and killed herself, her, father, Wallace Smith. was in the De Kalb County Jail charged with hav- | ing shot Bascomb Cash, reported com- | panion of the girl the day preceding | her death. = 1‘ Cash, shot in the mouth, was in a, critical condition Sheriff L. J. Campbell said that the | girl and Cash went for an auto ride 1wo weeks ago. Car trouble developed and the couple remained out overnight. When the girl was scolded on her re- turn home, she ended her life. | Yesterday Cash and Smith met near | their homes in Mentone. An argument resulted in the shooting. Californian Draws Cartoons on Radio’s Pleasing Features By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO. March 12-—Complimented in modern hieroglyphics—the comic cartoon —station KGO has a collection of water color creations depicting a hobo at the side of his receiver either “at home” or afield.

So I say to you women who want to cheat time as*l have done, ‘Reach for a Lucky and not for a sweet.”” FANNIE WARD The modern common sense way-—reach for a Lucky instead of a fattening sweet. Everyone is doing it—men keep healthy and fit, women retain a trim figure. Lucky Strike, the finest tobaccos, skilfully blended, then toasted to develop a flavor which is a delightful alter. native for that craving for fattening sweets. Toasting frees Lucky Strike from impurities. 20,679 physicians recognize this when they say Luckies are less irritating than other'ciga— rettes. That’s why folks say: “It's good to smoke Luckies.” W Authorities attribute the enormous SOEE.: increase in Cigarette smoking:to the improvement in the process of Cigarette manufacture by the application of heat. It is true that during 1928, Lucky Strike Cigarettes showed a greater increase than all other Ciga- rettes corpbined.
