NEW YORK (#)—Rosalie Greene is radio’s girl of a thousand and one roles. Ideally fitted for the part she takes in providing entertainment for chain broadcast listeners, this young and beautiful actress really is a veteran of the air. For six years she has been in the studio, playing hundreds of char- acters, most of them of an emotional type. It would take an expert bookkeeper to record all of the different persons she has been before the microphone. She herself estimates that in the last two and a half years the number easily totals 600, and this does not take into consideration her other radio years. Began in College. 2 Miss Greene began in radio while in college. She went up slowly but surely, winning the honor of having the “per- fect radio voice” while on the way, and now is a staff artist of the National Broadcasting Co. The majority of the time has been devoted to radlo, with only a few weeks out for the stage, “long enough,” she declared, “to fin out that I preferred broadcasting.” She was a_ sophomore at the New York State College, at Albany, when opportunity knocked. tady, was seeking a leading lady. It requested the faculty of the college to supply talent for auditions. Of course, Greene happened to be sent along. She won, and two weeks after the tests WGY announced that she would take the leading roles in its plays. Appeared at WGY. Her course at college was intended to fit her for teaching, but radio seemed to get the upper hand. For three years she appeared in the WGY plays. Going home to Bay Shore, Long Island, she soon fitted into broadcasting in nearby New York Citly. She has played at ‘WOR and WGL and other stations. one of her talent could not for- kept from the top. Her abilit: got her a place on the N. B. C. -u&, where she participates in such programs as the Eveready hour, Famous Loves ever the Miniature Theater. Voice Is Rich. Her natural voice is a rich contralto. It can be a soprano if need be. In fact, in one half-hour program she was an 8-year-old boy, a girl of the sweet- heart age, and a spinster of unrevealed years. Five feet four inches tall and weigh- ing 126 pounds, she might be described as fitting exactly the brunette type of dream girl. Confidentially, her smile brings real dimples to her rosy cheeks. But of all the roles she has portrayed she got her biggest thrill as Joan of Arc in the first of the Salute pro- grams. GET NEW POSITIONS Miller and Sweetser Affected by N. B. C. Change. Two new executive positions have been created on the staff of N. B. C., in addition to four promotions and the establishment of committees to judge broadcasting talent and to pass on radio plays. ‘William B. Miller, formerly assistant manager of the press relations depart- ment, has been placed in charge of a new division to arrange and supervise broadcasts of current events and special features. Norman Sweetser, former an- nouncer and production man, has been named program representative of the new Times Square studio. | PRICE HITS .RADIO SALES Tone Quality Also Considered Im- portant Factor in Distribution. Price has been found a primary factor xnudeurmtmn; the retail sales of radio sets. A survey of 44 representative retailers by the Department of Commerce showed that 21 of the group indicated that price influenced the majority of set sales. Seven said that tone guality was the first consideration, while five reported that the appearance of the set was the deciding factor in the sales. Vaudeville Star on C. B. S.

Behind the Microphone lRUBlNSflN URGE BY THE RADIO EDITOR. LREADY the transition pe- riod of the netwrok broad- casting schedules has set in, much earlier than in past years, with indications that a number of major changes are to take place within the next few weeks. Radio features that we have followed throughout the Winter are going off the air and new ones are taking their places. New voices, new stunts and innova- tions in program structure are in prospect, all of which are indica- tive of the unusual broadcasting ahead for the Summer season. Several new attractions made their debut on the networks last week. Others are coming this week, and outstanding among them is the first of a series of programs originating on the Pa- cific Coast, in which the famous musical shows of the stage and talking screen are to be broadcast with the original stars in the title roles. A Pacific Coast canner will sponsor these programs, the first of which will be broadcast Satur- day night over the N. B. C. net- work, with Bebe Daniels singing the role she made famous on the screen in “Rlo Rita.” * ¥ X (CONGRESSIONAL elections will soon be the talk of the coun- try with the primaries scheduled in many States during the Sum- mer months. The National League of Women Voters, therefore, has arranged to present the issues of the campaigns through its “Voters Service” broadcasts over the N. B. C. Henry Suydam, Washington correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle, will open the campaign serles Tuesday with a talk on “A Bird's-Eye View of the 1930 Pri- maries.” On the same program Edward Hope, New York news- paper columnist, will present a monologue on “April 1 Day with the Primaries.’ * k% OST orchestra conductors have their systems all their own in leading musicians. Freddie Rich, who broadcasts over C. B. 8., must pound his foot to convey some of his directions. Microphones pick up such sounds as readily as the sweet strains of music. They can’t be filtered out, so Rich is forced to stand on a felt pad and stomp away. * * Kok X THE new five-element pentode tube has made its appearance in a receiver recently put on the market. Although the set con- tains but one of the new tubes, its designers feel qualified to call it the pentode receiver. The set was introduced in Chi- cago, to which Middle Westerners like to refer as the center of radio. It came about through the desire of the manager of a radio depart- ment of a chain of 14 furniture stores to be the first with a new receiver development. The introduction of the set fol- lowed almost on top of a decision made at a joint meeting of the Radio Manufacturers’ Association to await further technical infor- mation about the five-element tube before putting it into their receivers. At that meeting at least half a dozen set manu- facturers reported that their pro- duction plants for this year did not provide for the use of the new tube. * x k * FANNY BRICE has been given the sobriquet of “The Late Delilah” as a result of her tardi- ness which nearly resulted in the cancellation of her classic bur- lesque with Henry Burbig on “Samson and Delilah,” in a re- cent Philco hour, According to the stories that circulated over the “grapevine” route of the C. B. 8., Miss Brice did not appear in the broadcast- ing studios until one minute be- fore she and Burbig were sched- uled to present their sketch. The studio officials in the meantime were frantically searching for the comedienne, and Milt Gross, who wrote the burlesque, was nervous- ly attempting to revise the script. But, like the hero in the old Western dramas, Miss Brice showed up “in the nick of time.” Just a few seconds before she was to go on the air she dashed into the studio, in stage costume, and breathlessly exclaimed, “I forgot the time, lost the cab, got stuck in the traffic and missed the ele- vator, but as Napoleon said, ‘Brutus, we are here’.” * % k % PH!L COOK, the versatile come- dian, who is masquerading over WRC and other N. B. C. sta- tions as the Aunt Jemima Man, will make no more wisecracks about_prohibition, all on account of a Washington woman. 1t seems that Cook one morning recently in his “dish of foolish- ness” called the liquor law the “rum prohibition curse” and re- ferred to liquor enforcement as “in-farcement.” A Washington woman complained to Cook’s boss that he was ridiculing the prohi- bition law, and a few days later she received a reply that the comedian had been instructed to say nothing more about prohibi- tion, Bk AT last Rudy Vallee has settled the controversy over whether he or Will Osborne started croon- lnfi.. In his recent book Vallee tells the story of how Osborne came to him not so long ago, re- questing an audition for his band and himself. Following this, Val- lee sald, Osborne and his band “filled in" for him and his Con- necticut Yankees at the Villa Val- lee during their absence on stage engagements. i * X RU'DY ‘WIEDOEFT, saxophonist, who taught Vallee the fine ts of saxophone playing, will e guest artist with Maj. Bowes and_his Capitol “family” tonight in their broadcast over WRC and other N. B. C. stations. Weidoeft was a member of Maj. Bowes original group. He will play “Fancies,” a composition of his own which has never been on the air. Another number will be “Valse Triste.” R WRC and its associates in the N. B. C. will broadcast the Easter sunrise services in the gar- den amphitheater of Walter Reed Hospital April 20. This is an an- nual event attended by hundreds of veterans of the World War, nurses, the staff of the hospital and others. Col. Julian E. Yates, chief of chaplains of the Arm{.‘ will be the principal speaker. Music will be provided by the Army Band, under the direction of Capt. Wil- liam J. Stannard.

In his first interview since his ap- pointment two years ago, Commissioner Robinson said he would propose to the commission that the 40 cleared chan- nels set aside for the exclusive use of h-powered stations be abolished. He will advocate that they be devoted to “regional” services, and predicts that the public then will be more adequately served and the radio problem solved. Always an opponent of h-power and cleared channels, Judge Robinson is convinced that the present ut-:tp of stations has failed the interests of the service. He deplores the assignment of 40 of the 90 channels available to the United States for the individual use of guh-powered stations during evening ours. “I favor power comparable to the area served,” he said. “There is only one practical solution to the radio problem and that is through depend- able regional stations. There are more than 600 existing stations—all in & sense protected by the radio act—to be taken care of in any reallocation.” ‘The great national networks, accord- ing to Judge Robinson, would not be “hurt” under his plan. The National Broadcasting Co., however, is inclined to differ with that view. (Copyright, 1930, by the Consolidated Press.) HOOVER TO BROADCAST Two Large Networks to Carry Chief Executive’s Address.
