In addition to oflerln[ a radio tele- phone service Buenos Alres other points in Bouv.h Ammu. buin ning some time in April, the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. proposes soon to institute telephone service via a combination of overland wires and overseas radio to Hawail, Japan and Australia.

Testifying yesterday before the Sen- ate committee considering the Couzens communications bill, Walter S. Gifford, president of the A. T. & T., revealed that engineers of his company are now | investigating proposed sites on the Pa- cific Coast for the super-power radio station over which the radio portion of the transpacific telephone service will be relayed. ‘This station will probably be similar to the one which now furnishes the| transatlantic service and to_the other | which will be opened next Spring for | the South American service. The effi- |clency of the transatlantic radio tele- | phone was graphically demonstrated to | American radio listeners last week, | when it carried King George's voice from the London mvn.\ parley across | the sea for rebroadcasting on the na- | tional networks, Transatlantic Cable Near.

Footlights have dimmed for the two famous blackface perennials because “motion pictures have shot vaudeville all to pieces,” opines James McIntyre, who joined up with Thomas K. Heath in 1874. They have been together since. ‘They have worked every season until this one for 55 years, tramping the boards in every major variety house from coast to coast in a blackface act. Now they've settled down in Miami to rest and to seek new worlds to conquer. “The life of a headliner usually is not more than 10 years,” says Mclntym “Ten years is a big average. ‘e dou- bled up as boys back in 1874 lna ‘were - YOU some- times hear that some other loaf is “as good as Bond Bread.” When people want to speak in the highest terms of anything, they say that “ it is as good as gold.” Of course, it is not as good asgold unlessitisgold, and’ no bread can be asgood as Bond Bread unless it is Bond Bread.
