In two decades he has ayed widely varying roles. He took the title part in the tragedy, “Anathema.” He was seen as the romantic lover in “Prunella,” played opposite Gertrude Lawrence in the aii “Candlelight,” and appeared wi Al Jolson, Fani Dolly Sisters in the hilarious days of the old Winter Garden. In t‘Honeymoon Express,” a musical ;::med , Glendinning had a sing- g role. While other “name” performers from the “Great White Way” have brought to the air the spe- cialties with which they regaled visible audiences, Glendinning cannot be placed into a well de- fined category of performers. As chairman of the Entertainment Committee of the “Country Club,” he will have a wide scope for his versatility. It was just 30 years ggo that Glendinning made Hfs debut on Broldwly a walk-on in “Mice and Men.” e next season, how- ever, his stock went up when the famous John Drew enrolled him as a member of his company and too him on tour. 8ince those he has l'gllgyed more than 400 erant parts in every sectfon of '.he country. * % %% [OUGH 17,000,000 American homes are known to have radios, the sale of receiving sets for office use has consistently lag: Police Calls!

The trend toward these diminutive receivers was started late last year by a small concern in Ann Arbor, Mich., which is reported to have done a landoffice business despite the de- pression and its consequent cur- tailment of radio sales. It was not long before the larger radio making concerns entered the field, ringis a competition which has reduct “cigar box” radio set costs very considerably from the original $25 price. Radio manufacturers who have survived the depression — and- there are now only a few left out of the hundreds that were in | business during the heydey of the | radio market—are elated over the new demand, even though the market is limited and the unit sales not large.
