FRIEND of mine came so near A getting on the air the other night by mistake that I suspect ‘ he has been taking lessons in microphone technique ever since, just to be prepared in case some- thing like that ever happens again. He | comes from St. Louis, and he had never happened to see a' broadeast taking place in the studios. When he arrived in New York recently I was only too glad to make arrangements for him to| visit_our studios, although my engage- | ments prevented me from being there with him. Let us call him plain Mr. Jones. | Everything was all fixed up to have| him recelved at the studios, and all the plans worked out without a hitch. | One of my friends met him. and e corted him to a control booth, where | he was not only able to catch the pro- gram, but also to hear it. Howevel the escort was called away for a few minutes to answer the telephone, and | while he was gone a_page approached M. Jomes and tapped nim. discreetly | on the shoulder. Admitted His “Tdentity.” | “Mr. Jones?" he asked. My St. Louis | jend admitted ownership of the name. | “Won't you please come with me." said the page. “We are all ready to put you on the air in studio B." “But 1 don't understand,” said Mr “I came here tonight to listen | grams, not to take part in them.” | “Yes, I know,” said the page, trying | his best to be diplomatic, “but they are very anxious to have you talk, just the same.” My friend from St. Louis, somewhat puzzled, was none the less flattered. “But what am T to say?” he asked “I really can’t say,” the page replied. | By this time my {riend, not knowing much about the program on which he was supposed to speak, was in some- | Jones. to larly to his weekly answers to questions at the end of his religious service wrote in to ask in which direction her duty would” lie if her husband and her mother, living in different cities, should become _dangerously ill at the same time. Should she go to her husband or to her mother. On the air, Dr. Cadman found that a very simple question. “Move one or the other so they would both be in the same place,” he sald, “and then it would be possible to kill two birds with one stone.” An announcer who is no longer with us was a great reader of the newspapers, but what he read stuck in his mind too tenaciously. It was his duty one night to announce the first performance of & new program. The name of its spon- sors was similar to the name of a man who at that time was figuring rather unpleasantly in the news of the day. When the program went on the air, Ithough the name of the sponsor was very plainly written in the script, the announcer spoke the name of the wrong man.

Legal impediments that have been thrown in the way of the automobile radio by municipalities here and there are not the only worries confronting manufacturers who are pushing this l‘l:'t,l‘ -modern advance in the broadcast With the approach of Summer, when | radio strikes the doldrums, it has be-. come apparent that owners of radio- equipped automobiles will not get the | reception to which they are accustomed when in vacation places far from cities under the present broadcast set-up.

Mike as “Alarm Clock.” | A few weeks ago I mentioned in this | column that probably the most unusual | use for a microphone of which I had heard was that devised by a fox | breeder. As many of you know, black | foxes are very nervous animals. The | slightest thing sets them all agog, and this is particularly true during the mating season and during the period when the young are being born. The breeder of whom I spoke, desir- ing to keep a close check on how things | were going in the kennels even at night, | installed a microphone in the space | allotted to each pair of foxes and had | them all connected to a loud speaker in the quarters of his head keeper. If the foxes should be disturbed the com- motion would probably awaken the keeper, who could get to the kennels | and straighten out any difficulty with- | out loss of time. There are many more | fox breeders, especially in the East, than 1 had thought, for that one paragraph nas brought in a little over 20 letters from fox farms asking for details of the hook-up employed. A good many of the letters want to know how much microphones cost and whether the sys- tem really works. Well, I haven't much idea how good a mike you need to pick up the bark of a worried fox, but I do know that | microphones of one sort or another run from $25 to more than $100. These are | the familiar carbon type, which has recently been replaced in broadcasting studios by the condenser 'mike. I shouldn’t be surprised if you could buy a mike that would pick up plenty of | noise—maybe you couldn't tell from listening what kind of noise—for as low | as $5. The installation is another | matter. ‘The microphone itself, and all the wire lines, must be carefully protected from moisture, to avoid short circuits. I know how delicate mikes are. I had to broadcast a whole foot ball game in the rain one day, wholly unprotected | from the weather.’ It happened I had | a heavy overcoat, and I managed to drape ii around myself and the micro- phone in such a way that both of us | kept reasonably dry—and on the air. But I had a stiffl neck the next day | from the awkward position I had to assume. | Who Will Be Next Sensation? Around the studios we amuse our- selves now and theh arguing as to who | will be the next radio sensation. Is there any one now on the air, some one will ask, who has a chance to grab off | some of the fame that has come to such folks as Rudy Vallee and Amos 'n’ Andy? | As for me, I shouldn't want to risk | any money on predictions, but several | of the announcers and production men | have a hunch it might be Baby Rose | Marie. The child is only 5 years old, | but she has appeared on the networks | at least half a dozen times, and the mail response has always been tremend- | ous. Like many Italian children, she | has a rather deep. husky speaking voice, | which gives her a singing voice that isn’t so high and thin as the voices of most American children. With that, and an ability to stay on the key and sing a song for all it is | worth, she is something of a novelty. She's a cute little tyke, with brown hair, | brown eyes and chubby cheeks. Her perents dress her in light biues, greens and pinks, but she says her favoFite | color is purple. (Her father hastens to explain that she really means orchid.) | I very much doubt if it makes any| difference to her if an audience is| present when she sings. | Baby Rose Marie isn't unfamiliar with | audiences, for she has made a lengthy tour in vaudeville, but I have been un- | able to see any difference in her manner when she was singing just for fun, for the microphone or for a theater full of people on the other side of the foot- | lights. I suspect that she takes every- | thing rather naturally as a part of life. | Her father, who traveled in minstrel shows for years as Frank Curley, won't allow any one to make a fuss over her. “I want her to be a real trouper,” he ays, “and there aren’t going to be any stagey kids in my family. There are a few bits of technique she has to learn, | of course, but aside from that I want | her to be just plain natural.” I think he has succeeded pretty well, at that Rose Marie is one of the most charming Mttle girls 1 have ever seen. You'll like to have her play with your own chil- dren. As for the next radio sensation— well, maybe my readers have their own ideas. Caught Up On Boners, Listeners are always catching up us| broadcasters on the boners we make. A | great many of them we keep carefully to ourselves, because the chances are| that no one will notice them. ‘The other night Floyd Gibbons as- signed a very famous quotation to the wrong historical character. He had written his talk out ahead of time, and it had been checked by two other per- sons. It wasn't until he had signed his program off the air that he realized the | mistake, and by that time several hun- | dred letters and telegrams correcting him were on the way to the studios. Even Dr. S, Parkes Cadman ge! himself into verbal difficulties now then. Not long ago he was guilty of a line for which I hear he has been blushing ever since. It seems that a woman who been listening regu- before he ever saw an American micro- phone, also plays the ukulele. Q. Who are the players that make up Collier's hour on Sunday night?— Joseph L. Smith, Richmond, Va. A._ That's a hard one, as the casts of the Collier hour plays change from week to week. Almost every good actor or actress whom you have heard in other programs plays now and then in Col- lier's. Lucille Wall has been playing a lot of leads in that program lately, and Bill Adams always takes the part of Uncle Henry. Both appear frequently in other programs. Q. What has become of the Seiber- line Singers?>—M. L. B., Baltimore, Md. A. The series has ended, and so far as I am able to discover there are no definite plans for continuation. But| one never can be sure in cases like this. ‘The quartet may still be heard in the Palmolive hour and the Raleigh Revue. Q. Have Jews anything to do with the program called “The Rise of the Goldbergs”?—K. B, San Francisco, Calif. A. Yes. Mrs. Berg. who writes the program and plays the part of Mrs. Goldberg, is Jewish, and Jimmy Waters, who plays Mr. Goldberg, is a Jew, who has been famous on the stage for years for his portrayals of Jewish comedy rts. Everything possible is done to eep the atmosphere of the program authentic. Q. Have network programs from New York ever been interrupted by fire?— L. Causas, Biloxi, Miss. A. Not by fire in the New York stu- dios, and I do not know of any inter- ruptions of network programs by fires in local stations. Lines carrying pro- grams across the country have been threatened by fire, but I have never heard that programs were cut off from that cause. A trunk line was damaged by a fire in Ohio at one time, but the fire very considerately took place at a time when the wires weren’t carrying any programs, and by the time the net- works were to go into operation alter- nate lines had been provided. Q. Are children’s parts on the air played by real children?—Mrs. B. 8., Newark, N. J. A. Alm always. It is very rare to find an older person whose voice can be made to sound childish. Sometimes girls of 16 to 18 play the parts of very young boys and girls, but with one or two exceptions it is almost always pos- sible to spot the deception. For that | reason children’s parts usually go to real children. Q. Who plays the part of Brook, the leading character in “Mystery House"? —Calvin Erson, Milwaukee, Wis. A. Alfred Shirley. Look for him in other programs in English parts and occasionally in comedy roles. He also plays “straight” parts. Q. Is Judson House a Canadian?— “Inquisitive,” Toronto, Ontario. A. No. Judson House is a native of New York City, and has made his home there all his 36 years, with the excep- tion of the time he has spent appearing as soloist with important symphony orchestras throughout the country. Q. Does William Hard announce any regular programs?—A. C. G., Old Town, 0. A. No. Hard is not a regular an- nouncer, but a Washington newspaper correspondent, whose regular assign- ment on the air is to tell what is going on in the Capital each week. However, since his work in connection with cov- ering the London Naval Conference he has occasionally made short talks of introduction on {important programs. ‘There is no likelihood of his announc- ing regular studio programs. (Copyright, 1930.) RADIO SOUND MOVIE TEST IS POSTPONED JERSEY CITY, N. J. (#).—Proposed transmission of a sound motion picture from this city to Chicago, 967 miles away, has been indefinitely postponed. It was planned to make the demon- stration Friday under the auspices of the General Theater Equipment, Inc., and the Jenkins Television Corporation, but due to technical difficulties, it was announced more time would be required for its preparation. It was found necessary to build a special receiver to insure results. The plan is to transmit both the sound and the picture of the film, reproducing the picture on a screen in Chicago. . |“HUGGINS AND LOVE” GO OVER AIR IN TEXAS HOUSTON, Tex. (#).—A radio team, “Huggins and Love,” has been formed by two young Texas newspaper women. The duo, composed of Louise Huggins, blues singer, and Everetta Love, & vo- calist and pianist, made its debut on KTRH, new Houston station. By day Miss Huggins, daughter of W. O. Huggins, editor of the Houston Chronicle, writes of social service ac- tivities, while Miss Love is club editor of the paper. Their theme song, written by them- selves, is set to the tune of “If I Had a Talking Picture of You.” American visitors overseas report there is an increasing enthusiasm for radio in Europe. - The Book Lovers invite all music The Esmu Club, Etta Schmid Wells, | lovers to attend this program. director, appeared yesterd: in “an hour of music,” when Mary Sterling gave a short individual program. Other young planists taking part were Frances and Margaret Osborn, Nancy Sterling, Carol Smith, Claudia Lea Pointner, Mary Tarbell Kenestrick, Marian Oster- mayer, Mollie Schwarts, Sylvia, Joseph and Charles Wells, William Nye and Gerson Nordlinger. Mrs. Deardeaux entertained the Mu- sic Makers' Club in her home, in Hy- attsville, Md., at a recent meeting. A delightful program was presented, in which those taking part, under the direction of Lillian Mason, chairman, were: Ethel James, Harriet and Ceola Shauffeur, Edna Scott, Willlam Sey- mour, Grace Ryols, Ralph Adams, Bettie Keith, Bernice Hollis, Marian Douvall, Alice Wepler, Robert Eldridge, John Hayes, Edgar Smith and the director and hostess. Following some gifts of appreciation made to Miss Mason and also to Mrs. Deardeaux, who has been club presi- dent for two years, the club song was sung. Winning Crews Burn Boats.
