12 LONDON-HOLLAND BROADCAST TODAY Parley Delegaté and World Court Official to Be Two of Speakers. Two of the outstanding radio pro- grams today will come from the other side of the Atlantic. WMAL and other Columbia Broadcasting System stations will distribute a program from London, while WRC and the combined networks of the National Broadcasting Co. have scheduled a special broadcast originat- ing in- Holland. The London rebroadcast will come firstly from 12:30 to 12:45 o'clock this afternoon. It includes a discussion of the Five-Power Naval Conference by Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania and Frederic Willlam Wile. ‘The program from Holland is sched- uled from 1 to 2 o'clock, replacing the regular production of the National Light Opera Co. over WRC and its associated stations. Bernard C. J. Loder, inter- national jurist. author and first chief Jjustice of the World Court, will open the program with a 15-minute talk. A 45- minute program of music will follow. WRC's evening program contains its usual attractions, with the Atwater Kent hour heading the list. Tito Schipa, Chicago Opera Co. tenor, and Kathleen Stewart, pianist, will present this fea- ture. Schipa’s Selections. Schipa will sing “De Bist die Ruh,” “A Pastoral,” “Ombra Mai Fu" from X ." “I1 Mio Tescro” from “‘Don “Amapola,” “Pesca d'Am- h! Non Credevi Tu" from “Mignon” and “La Donna e Mobile” from “Rigoletto.” Miss Stewart’s con- tributions will be the “Andante from the Piano Concerto in D Minor,” “Minuet” from “L’Arlesienne,” “Nocturne in F Sharp” and “Waldesrauschen.” Disraeli, builder of empires and mas- ter of wit, will furnish drama for the Durant Heroes of the World broadcast at 7 o'clock. The story lifts from the pages of history the chapter which shows Disraeli at home on the eve of his first appointment to the office of Prime Minister of England. After 30 years of political life he realizes his am- bition. L The Old Company Singers, Charles Harrison and Labert Murphy, tenors: Vernon Archibald, baritone, and Frank Croxton, bass, with Arthur Leonard, accompanist, will present a program of hymns at 6:30. Martin Luther’s “Ein Feste Burg” leads the group, which also includes “Day is Dying in the West,” “Lead, Kindly Light,” “Sing Allelulia Forth,” “Come, Thou Almighty King," “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name “When All Thy Mercies, O My God” and “Tarry With Me.” The Davey hour and the Chase & Sanborn program are -mon% WRC's other features. In the Davey broadcast Judson House, tenor, will sing “Kath- leen Mavourneen, Ireland’s most popular songs. The specialty in the Chase & Sanborn program will be a two-piano interpretation by Phil Ohman and Victor Arden of the stir- ring “Hallelujah” from “Hit the Deck.” Majectic Theater Program. Dale Wimbrow, popular radio and re- cording artist, will be the featured artist in the Majestic Theater of the Air broadcast tonight over WMAL. He will sing several of the songs of his own composition. Arnold Johnson's Or- chestra and two soloists, Redference Hollinshead and Muriel La France also will take part in this program. Selections from operatic productions and talking pictures have been injected into the McKesson News Reel of the Air program, while the French Trio will feature “Idyl,” the latest composition of Elliott Schenck. Ben Alley, tenor, will sing the romantic old favorite, “My Wild Irish Rose,” in the La Palina pro- gram. Jesse Crawford announces that the principal selection in his weekly organ recital will be excerpts from the opera, “Il Trovatore.” 7 “Driftwood,” a piay dealing with a | young man whose heart was broken by the girl he loved, will be unraveled in the Arabesque dramatic period. The back home hour to follow will feature “Nearer, Still Nearer,” a composition of Mrs. G. H. Morris. A hymn that was used as a “theme song” of a State Sun- day school convention in Pennsylvania also appears on the program. It is known as “There’s a New Day Dawn- ing.” Rose Krick, popular dramatic soprano, will give her farewell recital this morn- ing from WOL. The station's program also includes a broadcast of the morn- ing service of the Calvary Baptist Church and a joint recital by Bonnie | D. Sosamon, soprano, and Louis Thomp- son, tenor. “Life on an Ocean Greyhound” is the subject of Dr. J. O. Knott's weekly travel talk to be broadcast tonight by WJSV. “Chick” Godfrey, tenor, and L. Z.

Re- plete with the novel, the patriotic and concluding with drama, the day is to be a gala one in radio history. Early morning programs will tingle with patriotic music and stories of the days of 1776. A major event is the broadcast at 10:30 o'clock under the auspices of the Sons of the Revolution, presenting a Washington's birthday party in the famous old Carnegie Hali, New York City. The program will bring before the microphone the Police Band and speeches by Representative James M. Beck of Pennsylvania and others. Ted Husing will qescrlbe the elab- orate Washington's ' birthday parade from Alexandria, Va., between 2:30 and 4 o'clock. Mr. Husing will be stationed in the reviewing stand and will describe every move of the great event. Music from bands as they pass the stand will be sent over the air via a Nation-wide network associated with Columbia. Following this Husing will describe the scenes in the churchyard when President Hoover places a wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier of the Revolutionary War, Again, at 6 oclock in the evening, Columbia will turn to the studios of WMAL, in Washington, for its pro- gram. This time it will be the broad- casting of “A Tour of Mount Vernon, Home of George Washington.” Harri- son H. Dodge, superintendnt of the grounds at Mount Vernon, will present a vivid word picture of the Washing- ton homestead, relating all the inci- dents that made this spot one of his- tory’'s outstanding points. “'Washington,” a pageant of patriot- ism, bringing to the air a drama of George Washington's life written and produced by Don Clark, chief of the Columbia continuity department, will be broadcast at 9 o'clock at night. “The play will be enacted by a selected group from the ranks of the Columbia Play- ers. It will depict ‘mainly the high spots in the life of our first President. Other musical programs throughout the day will include scores of patriotic f’mlrcnons and readings apropos of the 1 day. 1 'ARTISTS PRESENTED BY ATWATER KENT | Celebrated Groups Have Gone on Air Since Program Began in 1925. Three of the five vocalists, all of the composers and three of the five instru- ' mentalists whose names are to be em- blazoned in the concert hall of the Barbizon-Plaza Music and Art Center in New York as greatest among present- day American artists were presented to radio listeners, most of them for the first time, during the Atwater Kent Radio hours of the t five seasons. This hour was established in the Fall of 1925 for the purpose of bringing to the world. Recently the National Federation of inscription in the Barbizon-Plaza con- cert hall the. names of the most famous vocalists, instrumentalists, composers and directors. Thus the stamp of ap- organizations in the United States was given to Atwater Kent artists. The artists chosen were, of course, great stars in their own right long before the day of radio. But it was through the Atwater Kent hour that they were in- troduced to the really great national audience. Reginald Werrenrath, famous concert and operatic baritone, who inaugurated the Atwater Kent program October 4, 1925, is one of the artists named- by the federation. Other vocalists of At- water Kent presentations are Rosa Ponselle, who opened the present sea- son of Atwater Kent hours, and Lou Homer, who has opened two of the hour’s seasons. The composers chosen were Charles Wakefield Cadman, Deems Taylor, Ed- gar Stillman Kelley, John Philip Sousa and John Alden C; nter, each of whom has provided numbers for the Atwater Kent broadcasts. The instrumentalists named by the to radio by the Atwater Kent hour in- clude Albert Spalding, violinist; Leopold Godowsky and Olga Samaroff, pianists. In addition to these, who will be given tablets of fame in the new con- cert hall, the federation suggested an- other half-dozen names of great artists of both Europe and America, and in duced to radio by the Atwater Kent hour—Charles Hackett, tenor of the Chicago Civic Opera Co., and Lawrence Qpera Co. 150 onTNTB.E.

The transition was rapid in so far as public knowledge of it ent. First indications that radio en- gineers had conquered the more serious problems of international broadcasting came when the Na- tional Broadcasting Co. scheduled | programs from England, Holland | and Germany several weeks be- | fore Christmas, the day set for| the initial program exchange, | That a transition had taken place was thoroughly established when the same organization, as well as the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem, began a series of reports from London on the progress of the five-power Naval Conference. It is hard to realize that the first network rebroadcast of a program originating across the Atlantic happened . just a little more than a year ago. On Feb- ruary 1, 1929, the N. B. C, with less than three hours’ notice, suc- cessfully picked up and rebroad- cast a symphony concert from London through a network of 30 stations. In July of that year Thanksgiving services for the re- covery of King George of Eng- land in Westminster Abbey in London were rebroadcast. The same morning a program origi- nating in Sydney, Australia, was picked up and went over the American network. Later came the broadcast de- scription of the Schneider Cup races. Then, in October, a pro- gram from Holland was rebroad- cast, and just before Christmas there came a program from Ger- many. But Christmas day shat- tered all previous records with programs from Holland, Germany and England in rapid succession. New Year eve brought more programs from abroad. Then, when the Naval Conference open- ed in London January 21, radio outdid itself. So much for the history of the past year. What wasn't chroni- cled extensively was the experi- mental work and the development of short-wave transmission dur- ing the nine years preceding the initial broadcast from London. Engineers believed that they were | working on an epoch-making de- velopment in radio. It was such a big thing that they were afraid to talk about it. Hence little was said to prepare America for inter- national broadcasting until a | proof of what had been accom- plished was available. Even then | the engineers were extremely con- servative in their predictions of what might be expected in the future. Never once did their most optimistic predictions come up to what actually had been accom- plished. Even now the engineers are conservative about what to expect from foreign radio studios. Some of them belteve that several years must elapse before foreign pro- | grams are rebroadcast on a regu- lar schedule. In spite of this con- | servatism, both the N. B. C. and the C. B. 8. are scheduling regu- lar programs from abroad, and more from the great European i capitals are bel‘ng‘ planned. * * T seems to be the general opin- ion of leading engineers of the |radio industry that the present model receiving sets will not be- come antiquated by outstanding developments during the coming year. Advancement will be made, they predict, in the greater stand- ardization of both nomenclature ‘and design of apparatus. Behind the Microphone BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

That excep- tion is the recently announced five-element pentode tube. This tube, which has both shielded grid and shielded plate, is virtually the same as the commonly called screen grid tube now in use. Its difference lies in the addition of a terminal on the side of the base for the new element. It also func- tions similarly to the conventional screen grid tube, its main advan- tage being that it affords addi- tional gain in amplification. The tube, however, is too new to de- termine whether manufacturers of receiving sets will incorporate it into their latest models this year. Aside from the pentode tube, there are no new engineering de- velopments in view. A statement recently issued by Walter E. Hol- land, director of the engineering division of the Radio Manufactur- ers’ Association, declares that “purchasers of standard radio re- ceiving sets have every assurance that they will not be obsolete by new developments.” The year’s outstanding develop- ments, therefore, will be confined, most likely, to the cabinet and mechanical design. * K % X (CONSIDERABLE progress has been made in recent weeks by the Radio Manufacturers’ Associ- ation in the standardization of radio nomenclature and appara- tus. Definitions for a number of commonly used terms in connec- tion with receiving sets have been drawn up. Most important among these are the following: ceiver in which all the radio-fre- quency amplifier tubes are screen grid_tubes, employed as such. “Uniform selectivity” — The characteristic of a receiver by which it is equally capable of dis- criminating between signals of the same intensity at any point in the broadcast frequency range. “Uniform sensitivity”—The characteristic of a receiver by which it is equally capable of re- sponding to broadcast signals of the same intensity at any point in the broadcast frequency range. “Automatic volume control”’— means whereby a receiver accom- modates itself to the strength of the received signal within limits depending on the characteriza- tion of the signal, but without af- fecting the quality preadjusted. “Linear detection”—Any form of rectification in which the au- dio-frequency output voltage is substantially proportional to the radio - frequency input voltage throughout the useful range of the device. * k % X T. E. SMITH, president of the National Radio Institute, has just compiled some interesting statistics showing that more than 2,000 patent applications €overing radio developments are now pend- ing before the Patent Office. Smith said this rather startling revelation recalled the story of the wise and far-sighted {olmg man who resigned his position in the Patent Office many years ago with the announcement that “ev- erything worth while had been | invented.” | The airplane, phonograph, ray- on, talking movies and radio were never dreamed of at that time. Yet inventions are coming in for patent at the rate of 85,000 a year. As for radio, the great number of applications rending is an indication of the tremen- dous development going on in | With possibly one exception, VICTOR LOUIS does not merely suggest reality —IT IS REALITY! hear VICTOR RADIO in your home ... 7th at G N.W. this comparatively new science, & CO.

Lineal descendants of men who fought in the American Revolution will partici- pate in a program commemorating the birthday of George Washington to be broadcast by the National Broadcasting Co. from Washington Saturday. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohlo will be the principal speaker on the pro- gram, which will go on the air at 10:30 o'clock in the morning. Senator PFess is vice chairman of the Commission for the Celebration of the 200th Anniver- sary of the Birth of George Washington. Four organizations, members'of which trace their ancestry back to American Revolutionists, are sponsoring the exer- cises, which will be held in Memoriul Continental Hall. The organizations are Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, Sons of the Revolution, Children of the Revolution and Sons of the American Revolution. ‘William_ Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Representatives, will read the American creed, of which he i« the author. Selections from the paj.-s of George Washington will be read by John Paul Earnest. Rev. James 8. Montgomery, chaplain of the House of Representatives, will deliver the invo- cation and Rev. Edmund A. Walsh of Georgetown University will deliver the benediction. Col. Alonzo Gray, presi- dent of the Sons of the American Revc- lution, is expected to preside, and ad- dresses from the three other presidents of the sponsoring organizations will be included in the program. The United States Marine Band, un- der the direction of Capt. Taylor Bran- son, will play. “ADVENTURERS” TO TELL | CITIZENSHIP EXPERIENCE Talks to Be Presented in Programs of Voters’ Service Over N. B. C. Hook-Up. Autobiographical accounts of adven- tures in citizenship will feature a series of four experimental ams to be presented in the Voters' Service, broad- cast each week by the National Broad- casting Co., beginning with the pro- gram of Tuesday, March 4. ‘The “Adventurers” will be prominent persons who have had vivid experiences in public work of one kind or another, but in this series they will be brought before the microphone as ordinary c, o zens telling stories from their lives in an informal manner. * All of the programs will have in com- mon the fact that they deal with polite ical and civic work which is open to the layman as well as to the trained expert.
