Every | time they turn around fate seems to delight in taking a sock at them, de- termined, perbaps, to prove that those ! who are experts in “detecting” on paper aren’t so good when it comes to actual practice. ‘Take Arthur B. Reeve, for instance. His Craig Kennedy, the scientific de- | | tective, could solve any odd crime that | came along, and Reeve is now the guiding genius of the Crime Prevention program. But a couple of weeks ago somebody stole Reeve's typewriter from the office where he hides away to do his work and he hasn't yet been able to get it back. He has been able to figure out how it was stolen, but the identity of the thief—and whether he was a tall man with a scar on his left cheek or a stumpy blonde—remains a mystery. And now_Snoop and Peep—Charlie Finan and Paul Winkopp in real life— have been having their troubles, too. Even being burlesque detectives doesn’t help much. The other day they were about to go into rehearsal. Both of them had their scripts with them when | they entered the studios, and they were placed sided by side on a piano. They | left the scripts there for a few minutes while they talked to the production men and the engineer. When they were ready to begin, both scripts had disappeared. There wasn't a trace of them, and so far as the boys had noticed, not another person had entered the studio. They practically tore that piano apart, and although, suspecting a joke, they examined the staff men closely, there wasn't a sus- | picious bulge over any of their pockets. However, they had with them a single copy of the script for another show, and it was that which went into re- hearsal. Now 8Snoop and Peep are having trouble about hats. When they put | them down they sometimes have trouble finding them. Only two out of four have been recovered, and the average 1s so low folks around the studios insist it bears out the old tradition.

Since the trip from Thirty- fourth street and Seventh avenue to the studios at Fifty-fifth street and Fifth avenue doesn't usually take very long, Keech boarded a bus. Forty minutes later the bus had | reached Thirty-fifth street and Fifth | avenue. Keech, a little worried, looked at his watch, jumped from the bus and | caught a taxi. Twenty minutes later the taxi was at Forty-sixth street and Fifth avenue, the last five minutes. With 12 or 13 minutes to go, and with two or three little details to attend to before he went on the air, Keech dismissed the cab and sprinted up the street, Being small, he had fair luck dodging in and out umornl the crowds of shoppers.

She’s proved that con- vincingly since she became a regular broadcaster. Several times a week she sweeps into the studios with all of the gusto of a woman of 30, and when it comes to | rehearsals and actual programs she | She always rearranges the orchestra which also takes part in the program, and calls most of the musicians by their first names. I have never seen such a flend for work as Schumann-Heink. Besides broadcasts and concert appearances, she is giving lessons in singing to & large group of young women. I'd hesi- tate to guess how many of them ar getting the lessons free—and an occa. sional gift of money, too, when things are going badly. Giving talented young girls a start is one of her hobbies. Another one, so I have discovered, is to go all the way to Atlantic City to have her hair washed; there's a hair dresser there she thinks can't be beat. She is so friendly by nature that she is always by the warmth of her greeting the sec- ond time she sees them. And don't let on you think she's doing oo much work for her years; | she insists that it's mere child's play. | * o x x | Probably most people who listen to | Paul Tremaine's orchestra broadcast- | ing these days don't know that the | young conductor very nearly ended hlsr ::r:er 85 a musician at its very begin- | ng lt was out in Colorado, and it was one of the very first professional en- gagements the young drummer ever played. The dance was to be held in the local school house, and it was to be attended by mine bosses and their families and friends. ‘That would have been all right if there hadn’'t been a strike on. Paul discovered later that a good many of the miners had felt the dance was a kind of gesture of derision, and they were pretty hot about it. But there been some sort of truce, and it had been agreed there would be no trouble if the dance ended by 1 o'clock. The musicians arrived without know- ing just how strained the situation was, but they began to have a fair idea of it when they had to pass pickets armed where they were to play. Everything went well until about midnight, when the miners decided to end the party and trained a machine gun on the school house. 20 minutes they shot the place up, and at the end of that time Paul and the band were discovered, safe enough, be- hind a piano. A bass drum was the only casualty, e perhaps that is the reason Paul wasn't scared clean out of music at almost his first venture into it. He comes by his music honestly.

Behind the Microphone BY THE RADIO EDITOR. 8 the uniformity in English ronunciation likely to be ef- ected through the standardi- zation of styles over the radio? Confronted with such a question last week, Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, editor of dictionaries, master of a vocabulary of 455,000 words, and himself a speaker on the air over the Columbia network, replied that he could see no basis for| such a belief. Neither could he see in what way the standardiza- tion might be achieved even among those whose voices travel through the ether to the millions of radio listeners, for, as he points out, there are many divergences among persons generally accepted as users of “good English.” “Usage varies here as it does in England,” said Dr. Vizetelly; “it varies whimsically, leaving the student of correct sounds to flounder between ‘ice-o-late’ and ‘iss-olate’ while himself isolated often in so far as practical help in crthoepy is concerned. “I myself, for instance, am puz- zled about 'extra-ordlnary‘ and ‘exstrawdinary.” My judgment tells me that the accent should be on the ‘extra’ as connotlng magnitude, but I have taught my- self to abide by the established | practice in favor of the second combination of sounds. '!‘muhle-l some also are other English ac- cent differentiations — ‘waistcoat’ and ‘wes-cut’; the sloughing off of syllables in ‘dictionary’ and ‘necessary,” and the condensation ot proper names such as Green- wich. “The public must therefore Washington, 'A. “The Lady Next Door” is really Tucker, while Jintmie is The ages of the children run from about four to 14 or 15.

This is s0 much matter of personal taste that it would be im- possible to rate even the first ten. The ‘best” is the one which plays the music you prefer when dancing. Orchestras as widely different in style as Rolfe's and Len Joy’s have their ardent parti- sans, and there are a dozen or 20 on the air alone which are first rate. .

A. No. Try for him on other stations. The stations through which you have been hearing him may have dropped some of the programs he has been announcing regularly. Q. Is Mabel Wayne, the song writer, really a man?—V. L., Pittsburgh, Pa. A. No. She is renlly a very attrac- tive young woman. She used to be & school teacher in Brooklyn, and her songs, “In a Little Spanish Town,” “It Happened in Monterey” and “Ra- mona,” even though they were written by an American, have had a remark- able vogue in Spain and Cuba.

This model takes on involved dif- ficulties, however, when Australian actors alternate with native Eng- lish, or give way to American imitations of English accents, now very common because of the pop- ularity of American players in England. “Good English speech is a mat- ter of accent or voice-modulation and quantity, and educated per- sons seldom differ in regard to these, so that they may be taken as determining the standard of speech-sounds accepted by per- | sons of refinement and culture— | not because they are in ac- cordance with philological laws, | but because they accord with good usage. “Nothing is more distracting to‘ the ear trained to standard sounds than to hear those sounds continually debased.

The Papal broadcast depends on the Pope’s will, for it could be done today via either the Pope’s own station or the transatlantic radio-telephone. A rebroadcast from Russia would have political implications that might give the | American authorities some pause, although it too could be done to- | day.
