RADIO" FEATURES HUDSON REGATTA WRC and WMAL Will Be Linked Into Networks for Boat Race Broadcast. A graphic description of America's annual intercollegiate shell regatta this afternoon on the Hudson River near Poughkeepste will be broadeast over ex- tansive networks of the National and Columbia broadcasting systems. Both WRC and WMAL will be linked into their respective networks for this unu- sual broadcast. . The two broadcasting systems have made elaborate preparations to “cover” the event. The Columbia, however, will do it in a more spectacular way by describing the races from the land, sky and water. The National an- nouncing staff, headed by Graham Mc- Namee, will be stationed at vantage points along the four-mile course. ‘The three races to be rowed in the regatta are timed an hour apart, start- ing at 4:15 o'clock, Washington time, with the freshman contest. The junior varsity will follow, with the varsity, the classic, closing the event. In the brief interludes between races musical pro- grams will be broadcast. Use Short-Wave. Transmitters. Columbia will use short-wave trans- mitters for its sky and water descrip- tions. Ted Husing will be at a mi- crophone aboard an 80-foot twin-screw yacht, following the shells down the Hudson, while the aerial description will | be given by Louls A. Witten, who will fly around the race course in an am- hibian plane. ¥ After the regatta broadcast WRC will continue with its regular program, the features of which include a tabloid ver- sion of Leoncavallo’s opera, “I Pagliac- ci” by the National Grand Opera Co.; the eighth of a series of 10 concerts by John Philip Sousa and his band, and the Empire Builders' historical sketch, which will be based on the legends of Glacier National Park. There also will be the usual weekly concert by the A. & P. Gypsles and the Voice of Fire- stone broadcast, but the “Roxy” pro- gram has been eliminated because of the regatta broadcast. Julian Oliver, tenor, will sing the role of Cg’:o Xn];[l e liacel.” The other solol are Mar! prano; Nino Fucile, baritone; Fred: Baer, baritone, and Harold Branch, tenor. ‘The soloist with Sousa’s Band will be Winifred Bainbrick, harpist, who will play Pinto's “Valse de Con- cert.” ]'l'he Gypsies have “r“oltmth: ;classical program _composed {Svorks of Krelsler, Bach, Drigo, Dyorak ‘and Brahms. Franklyn Baur, tenor, and Vaughn de Leath, contralto, will again be the soloists in the Firestone program. The Mariani Coneert Or- chestra will assist them. ¢ Navy Band Concert on Air.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, June 24. —An opening of a new picture is an auspiclous occasion in Holly- wood, bringing out the stars of the film and ncarly all the rest of Movieland's galaxy. Radio plays an important part in all such events, for it is obvious that all the fans who want to see the stars cannot crowd around the theater to ogle *heir favorites in the fi Hence the existence of an inst=ution that is pecu- liarly Hollywood'’s. The institution is Freeman Lang, who knows all Hollywood by the first name. Freeman Lang operates remote controls for the local broadcasting stations for all the big events in filmdom. By this is meant that he is engaged as the an- nouncer and at the same time installs and operates the microphones and pub- lic address ‘systems through which his descriptions of the scenes and the Te- marks of the notables are broadcast. ‘Witnessing the preliminaries to the opening of a sound picture revue in the Jobby of the magnificent Chinese Thea- ter—an opening, by the way, .that marked the debut of many silent screen favorites as talking and singing: stars— one could not help but observe that the malady “microphonitis” has strong- 1y gripped filmdom. Most of the stars avparently like to greet the unseen audience almost as well as they like to appear before ad- miring throngs on and off the sereen. What they say over the air is of little account, Perhaps that is why such pro- grams have never been carried over national networks, Only the local sta- tions carry them. . Some Are Memorized. Sometimes they merely say ‘“Hello, everybody,” and let it go at that. Very frequently a greeting will be followed by a few embarrassed giggles from a beautiful creature stunningly gowned. Sometimes a few stars or a star and director engage in a fleeting moment's buoyant repartee, which is clever. or stupid in ratio to the mental facility possessed. t i not often that ex- temporaneous remarks from movie peo- ple t‘" very amusing, bright or intelli- gent. Self-boosts are frequently heard—Iit- tle “sneeches prepared by clever nress agents and memoriZed beforehand. Before each opening Freeman Lang always gets a dozen or more telegrams from notables of make-believe land, in- forming him that 'y will be on hand. He tells of an occaion or two where stars brushed each other aside in their eagerness to reach the microphone. Brilllant ares flood the entrance as Freeman Lang and his staff accost the stars just before they enter the door of the theater. Some of the stars are caught unaware by the radio, but not manv. The narade of exotic women and appealing men—a gorgeous spectacle, to say the least—is described into the microphone by Mr. Lang while i and his men call to the stars to stop a moment for a few remarks. Bright Satellites Recorded. Mr. Lang cries out, “Interlock!™ when he succeeds in getting a star of par- ticular prominence or known humor and intelligence to come before the “mike.” This means that the sound movie ap- paratus is switched on and a permanent record of what is said is made at the 365.6—~WHAS Louisville—320 7:00—WEAF program. 7:30—Xotel orchestra; scores. 8:00—Studio orchestra. 8:30—Same as WEAF (112 hours). 10:00—Homing hour. 2 1 11:00—Amos-Andy; dance music. 461.3—WSM Nashville—650 6:30—WJZ and WEAF (1 hour). 7:30—String quartet; bulletin. 8:00—Dinner coneert. : 8:30—Same as WEAF (1% hours). 10:00—Soprano, baritone and orchestra 11:00—2iawatian Players. | 270.1—WRVA Richmond—1,110 6:00—Byrd Trio; Amos-Andy. 7:00—WEAF and WJZ (1 hour). 8:00—Luxury Boys; musicale. 9:00—History; Serenaders; pianist. 10:00—Hour from WJZ. 11:00—Hotel orchestra hour. 258.5~WWVA Wheeling—1,1 6:00—Scores; feature program. 6:30—Ohio Valley stroll. 6:45—Boy Scouts; Aunt Jane. 7:30—Vibro Muse. 00—Studio; Ohio Booste: RADIO SERVICE On All Makes by Experienced and Courteous Men.

This is due either to the fact that they have broadcast before or have had sufficient experience in the sound motion picture studios. Conrad Nagel ‘and Jack Benny on this particular night offered a few gags. Renee Adoree spoke a greeting in French, and Armida, Gus Edward's newest find, spoke in Spanish. Dolores Del Rio, ling to Mr. Lang, alwavs speaks a few words of Spanish also, while Lupe Velez yells happily and Ben Bard always gags. On this evening Marie Dressler was thoroughly in cast when she told a joke to her unseen audience. Fannie Brice had a quip in her well known dialect, and Belle Baker said “Hello, Sadie!” arion Davies, Polly Moran and Wil- liam Haines were quite boisterous. Anita Page and Sue Carol can best be described as “sweet,” and Belle Bennett and Bessie Love as “sensible,” the latter nuword not often heard in reference to stars. Buster Keaton even smiled when he knew he was out of range of the cam- eras. as they say he does on the studio lot very iequeatly. Karl Dane and e Arthur simply greeted the audi- ence shortly. Gus Edwards put in a word for a protege, and the three Brox sisters sang a verse in harmony. Douglas Fairbanks, jr., spoke only to say that there was only one star in the show for him, referring obviously to Joan Crawford, his wife, who simply kad a “Hello!” Mr. Lang says that neither will go before the microphone unless the other is in the picture. Peggy Hamilton, as usual, had & short description of gowns. Stars who will never consent to before the “mike” are Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Harold Lioyd, Lionel Barrymore and John Gilbert, according to Mr. Lang. Mary Pickford has only gone on the air twice, the last time being when her latest picture had its opening. (Copyright, 1920. By the North American Newspaper Allfance.) CUSACK IS ARRESTED.
