SHOWS WAY IN BROADCASTING Development Revealed Along| Different Lines in Euro- pean Radioing. BY ROBERT MACK. . Y N radio, as in other fields, the East- | ern and Western Hemispheres are developing _along opposite lines, ! with the United States setting the broadcasting pace in the Western half of the globe. | { " Radio trends and conditions in most | of the countries of the world are ana- lyzed by the Commerce Department in surveys recently completed.

Studies Timely. The studies are timely. in view of the | oW being con- ducted by the Federal Radio Commis- | sion of commercial broadcasting in! compliance with the Couzens resolu- tion condemning overcommercialism of programs and the feasibility of adopt- ing. the European system of govern- ment-controlled broadcasting here. In his survey of Lating America, Mr. Schutrumpf declares that in no coun- try is radio advertising used, directly and indirectly, as extensively as in the United States. Its success as a medium here has led to widespread interest as to its possible success in foreign coun- tries, he asserted. Through the use of transcribed programs or recordings, he said, several American firms al- ready are sponsoring programs on for- eign stations. Argentina, Bolivia, Bra- zil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, and virtually all of the Central Ameri- can countries are known to accept ad- vertising and patterm. their broadcast- ing after the system employed in the United States. Uniformity in Reception. Appropos of European broadcasting, the survey states there is uniformity in the so-called “European system” only in reception, since most of the governments there require a tax or license fee for receiver-set ownership. As for broadcasting, there is no gen- eral practice among European coun- tries, each state having regulations pe- culiar to its own government. An analysis of the data shows that nearly one-half of Europe's 35 inde- pendent states accept radio advertis- ing of one character or another. Among these are France, Germany. Italy, Es- thonia, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Ru- mania, Spain, Turkey and Jugoslavia, nearly all of which either have placed in operation during recent months new stations of high power, or are build- ing such stations. In the tiny inde- pendent duchy of Luxemburg, it is reported that a new station of 200,000 watts—four times as powerful as the biggest American station—will go into operation next Summer under private ownership, with the intention of blan- Keting Evurope with commercial pro- | grams along American lines.

HREE generations ago the Cul- lens were the Kilcullens and reigning over a castle in Tip- perary. The castle still stands, but “it's a long, long way to Tip- perary” for young Edward Cullen today. The Columbia announcer was born in Buffalo, N. Y., 31 years ago, shortly after his father came to this country to superintend his oil interests. Educated in the public schools there, Edward en- tered St. Bonaventure College. But his | academic career was interrupted to join | the cast of the Jessie Bonstelle Stock Co., which was then playing in a the- ater owned by the father of Katharine Cornell. One year later Edward made his debut on Broadway in a play with Laurette | Taylor. He played the next season with Nat Goodwin in “Why Marry?” a| Pulitzer prize drama, and then ap- peared in others, including “Three Faces East,” “The Whole Town's Talking” and “Ladies of the Jury.” ! ‘Terminating the New York engage- ment of “Ladies of the Jury,” the play moved to Boston, where, at the invita- | tion of Station WEEI, one of the acts was presented over the air. It was here that Cullen made his radio debut. So impressed was he with the different technique required for broadcasting as compared with that of the theater that he became a fan. But never with the idea that he might some day be affili- ated with that phase of the entertain- ment world. | A short time before the curtain went up on the opening performance of “The Whole Town's Talking” the manager asked Cullen to test a chandelier that hung in the middle of the stage. When his 165 pounds were attached to the fixture the chain supporting it suddenly snapped and Cullen plunged 10 feet to WAVERLY TAYLOR, IN scores again with their . ‘| - OMES OF TOMORROW” What sort of homes will the world be living in one year, from now? two years, five years The Washington Post de- termined to find out—and finally decided that Waverly Taylor, Inc., already has them, in—Foxall.
