The loudspeaker with jazz wire- lessed from London or Milan strove to outdo the wind. Men in open sport shirts were dancing with lively young girls. Children had found the coils of rope, pipes and lifeboats ideal for playing hide-and-seek, and stumbled shrieking over the legs of sol- emn card players. quiries. Suddenly a man rose from a deck chair and asked Sister Martha for a dance. He did this with a solemn, most gracious bow. “I really don't dance,” said Sister Martha, but at the same time she put her hand on the stranger’s shoulder and allowed him to lead her away. Was she aware of the exceptional good looks of this man, in spite of his ashen-gray skin and his almost expressionless eyes? His face was of rare, almost perfect like .an habitual invalid's, and it was supported on long legs. A wide strand of brown hair, mingled with gray, fluttered across his forehead, almost down to the root of His nose. His necktie was carelessly knotted; his clothes were unpressed, frayed at the wrist, shiny at the elbows—yet the cloth was of the most expensive and the cut first-class. This curious man led Sister Martha in masterly fashion in and out among the boistrous couples. Thomas made his way along the deck chairs to the railing. Suddenly he saw for the first time in his life the ocean not as from the main- land, but as a thing in itself, all around him. ‘This sight took him entirely by sur- prise. Up to now the Columbia had he had hoped to meet Sykil, and where he had not met her. Now he was in a way overwhelmed. The Columbia, which a couple of hours ago had seemed than a nutshell amidst the ccean’s in- finitude. As the Columbia grew smaller so his own self shrunk, his personal misfortune, his suffering. He did not turn around until he heard a voice behind his back: “We'll e ship’s doctor.” = flll recesps between two of the smaller lifeboats, sat a most extraordinary cou- ple; an old man and a Very young, hardly more than adolescent, girl. There was nothing specially conspicuous about the girl who sat cross-legged on the |deck. She wore a checked jumper. | Doubtless the sister of the boy who was so passionately reading the “Nicoma- chean Ethics,” thought Thomas. The jumper was fastened at the neck with a red tie. The old man beside her, however, particularly attracted the doctor’s at- tention. To judge by the proportions of his body and head he must be a giant. His weather-beaten, deeply furrowed face was surrounded by a dense mane of hair, which was still almost jet black. Small, penetrating, profound eyes peered from beneath bushy black eyebrows; a huge mustache covered his mouth. He | wore a heavy raglan coat of indefinite .| color, which at the top disclosed a dirty collar and below a pair of old-fashioned, almost terrifying about this old man. His face disclosed strength, even bru- tality, but mingled with them there was also cunning and wisdom and an ele- ment of genuine kindness. More than anything else he resembled an old-time pirate. “You are a man of the world, Doc- tor,” said the old Titan without intro- ducing himself. “Won't you tell this little stupid, because she won’t belleve me—where do you keep your elbows at mealtime?” “As close to the body as possible,” replied Thomas in surprise. “There you are, you stupid brat. As close to the body as possible. Su®yose you thought the more space you take up the more important you are. Really distinguished people make themselves | inconspicuous, as small as possible. I promised her,” he explained to Thomas, “to teach her a certain amount of good manners on the trip over. She is crazy 'fo .l;ez into the larger world—the young “Indeed, that's what I want,” the poor little churchmouse cried out, and there was a wild, hungry gleam in her black eyes. “That’s what I really want. And a hundred like you, Mr. Marius, can come along and try to persuade me that rich people are no better than poor peo- ple. When I'm as old as you I might talk like that, too—but until then, I want to enjoy things, and I'll succeed, you'll see, I'll get there.” She held Thomas with her hungry eygs, and said to him, “They want me to g0 to Oklahoma, where there is noth- ing but a horrid farm, and farmers and ts and chickens, not even a picture palace—but I'll run away—I've made up my mind te. I'll go to New York and some day be a great lady.” “And meanwhile you eat with your knife, and you suck up your soup with | The such a noise that you can hear it in the captain’s room!

And there's been an ink-spot on your middle finger ever since this morning. Why don't you wash your hands?

Milll Lensch held her hand in front | {of her mouth and giggled in a silly schoolgirl way. “I suppose you are trying to tell me that you are wearing torn shoes only to | annoy people! And why are you travel- |ing third class?” “Because there is no fourth class,” | said the old man with an amiable smile. Thomas would have liked to reprove | her imprudence. It was only her childish inexperience ‘whlch kept her from seeing that Mr. Marius’ present disreputableness was only due either to his momentary state of finances or his general pessimistic outlook upon the world. Once this man power. One felt it at the very flb lookl: and felt it again at every word spoke. “And I don't know what I wouldn't give if only I were rich and could travel first class!” cried Milli. “Dear doc- tor,” she suddenly turned the whole strength of her passionate eyes upon Thomas, “do ask me to tea! You can do that, please do, do!” ‘Thomas said that, unfortunately, he couldn’t since he had been asked to tea himself. “Who with?” she asked. “Tell me, what they are like?” At that instant it happened that Sis- ter Martha and her partner stumbled in their dance and fell on the deck. Thomas ran toward them, helped them up. The man was pale as death. His fore- | cast ‘A RADID FAMILY" Broadcasting Circles Refer to “Perfect Style” of the President. BY MARTIN CODEL. N radio broadcasting circles they are beginning to refer to the Nation's l “those Radio Roosevelts.” Mrs. Roosevelt, it is true, dropped her regular broadcasting activities shortly betore her husband’s inauguration March 4. But within the space of less than a month three of her immediate family have become well known broad- personalities. , there is President Roosevelt himself, whose lucid radio style has made him, among radio people at least, as “the perfect broadcaster.” He has already used the radio widely for his purposes and will certainly use it many times more during his tenure in office. His plans to maintain intimate contact with the people via the wave lengths has led to considerable comment on the growing psychological force of radio: Others on Air. ‘Then there are James Roosevelt, eld- est son of the President, and Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dall, the daughter of the White House. “Jimmy” Roosevelt, who is in business in Boston, made his debut as a radio speaker last week when he began & series of Thursday night talks on national affairs.. Mrs. Dall has con- tracted for thirteen programs for a N-w York department store, which are being heard locally over WEAF until April 28. Mrs. Dall speaks on styles.

The patient opened his eyes. “At lunch I saw a Baroness Mergen- theim. Is she any relation of yours?” The patient's eyes closed agal “We are a widely scattered family.

Thomas tried téo pull the baron’s shirt over his shoul- er. “Make the injection in the breast,” cried the patient—his teeth chattering. “Don’t you see that I'm chilled all through?” ‘Thomas, however, had his suspicions and Mergentheim's actions merely re- inforced them. “Into the arm—or not at all,” he said. “Into the left arm,” he added, when he saw that Mergentheim was trying to slip his shirt off his right shoulder. “This is a damned outrage,” raged the patient. “You would only dare to: do this on the fore deck. I'll make a complaint. You will get dismissed.” | Thomas did not reply. He had now slipped the shirt off the left shoulder and saw what he had suspected. Close beside each other, like fly-specks, the tiny points of countless punctures. “It, is your duty,” screamed Mergen- theim, his face distorted with rage, sud- denly sitting up and seizing the phy- sician by his coat. “You Pave to give morphine to people in pain.

The count- | less punctures in your left arm are evi- dence that you are a serious morphine aqaict. Professionally speaking, I can't give you any jmore.

It is possible his talks may occasionally be extended to a Nation-wide network. The First Lady of the Land probably will continue to be heard quite fre- quently on the radio, as were Mrs. Hoo- ver and Mrs. Coolidge, but like her bus- Wand’s her radio talks will all be of a public character hereafter. Consider- able criticism was aroused over her pre- inaugural sponsored appearances on a aational network, but this was somewhat mitigated when it was learned that she devoted the proceeds wholly to charities. President Roosevelt’s announced in- tention of using radio frequently to keep the public aware of his purposes and policles has evoked considerable comment on the influence of his spoken words upon the popular mind. Com- mentators like Will Rogers, after the President’s March 12 talk on the bank- ing situation, exclaimed: “God bless radio.” Newspapers like the New York Times expounded editorially on the new influence the President can wield on democratic government through the use of radio, pointing out how the White House pouches bulged thereafter with fan letters and telegrams. From Eurcpe, where the radio is controlled by gov- ernments and where leaders like Hitler use it freely for their purposes, came reports that Roosevelt’s broadcasts are being followed as attentively by many people there as by most people here, New Era Hailed. Noted psychologists took occasion after the banking speech to call the President’s direct communication with the people by radio as the beginning of a new psychological era. Dr. John B. ; Wat , noted exponent of the be- haviorist theory of psychology, called radio a “mental therapeutic for a sick- minded republic” and referred to the Preésident’s banking address as “quiet- | ing and soothing to turbulent American emotions as a mother'’s voice' to an angry child.” Dr. Arthur Frank Pa; has brought a new influence into Con- gress. It will destroy the power of selfish interest and organized lobbies and will do more to make Congress the servant of the people than any other orce.” Dr. A. A. Brill of New York remarked | as follows: “President Roosevelt's radio e said: “Radio accepted tenets of political diplomacy. His streightforward summnryp of thye present financial crisis was brief, simple and clear. He minced no words and called a spade a spade. It is such can- did and heartfelt expressions which ap- peal to the average citizen's sense of ?::gmy and inspire confidence in great lers.”” MOVE TO RADIO CITY N. B. C. Engineers Prepare for Permanent Occupancy. NEW YORK, April 1 (#).—Prelimi- | nary to the actual moving quarters for National Broadcasting Co. engineers al- ae‘:dy have been established in Radio y. While the complete occupancy date has not been set and at present is ex- pected to come in the late Fall, a-group of engineers whose duties center around studio construction already are at the future address of the chain.

About two years ago it was and it is now being used for a series of operatic broadcasts in- tended “to present opera by radio in a way that will break down the average listener’s prejudice against it as being either highbrow, snob- bish or incomprehensible.” Studio No. 10 of the B. B. C, ;thls wine-warehouse broadcasting isite is called. Even when the B. B. C. moved its headquarters to the splendid new Broadcasting House in Savoy place, No. 10 was retained for Sunday night orches- tral concerts, vaudeville programs and now the opera experiments. The first opera broadcast was a national network program last month _puilt around “A . Princess of Kersington.” Intiacy and simplicity ux:gar- ently #re the bywords of these experiiients. But let Radio Times, official organ of the B. B. C., describe for you a visit to this unique studio: “To reach it you go down a long flight of steps from the Surrey side of the bridge, turn left at the bottom under a grimy landarch into a typical Surrey side street. Great lorries rumble over the cob- bles; street children are playing outside mean houses. A light sign, ‘B. B. No. 10 Studio,’ stands out in striking modernity against its dirty background; here orchestras, music-hall artists and opera singers rule within walls consecrated to Australian bur- gundy. The neighboring wharves swarm with the constant traffic of loading and unloading cargoes of cement, food, drink, clothes and what-not for and from the ends of the earth. Inside ‘No. 10, another traffic, just as universal: Music and light entertainment daily dispatched by the miracle of radio to a million points. “The neighborhood has not taken much notice of its strange new tenant. Opposite the studio there is a little pub. In its bar the halage porters and drivers, the flour-stained workers, and other casual hands of a ware- house, stand with their backs to the studio, drinking their ‘mild and bitter’ Famous singers and equipped for broadcasting, | PERA From a Wine Cel- | comedians, lar” might well be the and engineers, can come and go | shoals of musicians or stay away for all they care. There is one sign of change. The landlord of the little pub stretches a point for ‘the wireless chaps’ and obligingly supplies relays of tea to slake the queer thirst of the national orchestra. To his regular customers, that is a great- er innovation than anything Mar- coni ever thought of. “Inside the studio all is tur- moil. The last rehearsal of Sir Edward German’s light opera, ‘A Princess of Kensington,’ is called for 10 o'cloek. The orchestra, 40 strong, file in and take their places in a curious fan-like forma- tion, which is meaningless unless one stands at the microphone and looks at it. Then it is seen to |occupy the space between two sides of a right-angled triangle, with the microphone as its apex; the first violins are in front, for better definition; then the rest of the strings farther back and to the side; then the wood-wind; finally, spilling over the strict lines of the general outline, the noisy fellows, brass and percussion. This is a novel formation, one part of the new experiment of turning opera into acceptable and popular radio fare.” THAT Ed Wynn will not be per~ mitted to appear as master of ceremonies on the programs of the newly formed amalgamated net- work, which he heads, because of his present contract with an N. B. C. program sponsor, is the lat- est news of the new Wynn net- work project. Amalgamated Broadcasting System, Inc., of which the radio and stage come- dian is president, also has an- nounced that it has leased two floors of the building at 501 Madi- son avenue, New York, for key studios. Scheduled originally to start in May, the initial programs will start_about 10 days later. Sta- tion WCDA, New York, will be the key of the new network, which Mr. Wynn announced will start with the following units: WPEN, Philadelphia; WOAX, Trenton; , Wilmington; WCBM, Bal- timore, and WOL, Washington. Ultimately, it was stated, the network will link 100 stations, first spreading to Chicago and thence to the Pacific Coast. An unveri- fied report was current this week that WPEN and WOAX have with-~ drawn from the network.

Gladstone Murray coming from London to act as consult- ant to the Canadian Radio Commis- | sion, negotiations looking to the estab- lishment of regular network service for Canada under auspices of the commis- i sion are reported in an official state- jment to be prcgressing favorably. Mr. | Gladstone is the Canadian-born director of public relations of the British Broad- casting Corporation. He arrived in | New York last week and is now in Ottawa. Plans now under way call for linking Canadian stations by wire lines for programs to be provided by the com- mission on a daily schedule from 6 to 11 pm. Canadian stations will be under no obligation to subscribe to the programs, but are expected to take them willingly on a sustaining or non- commercial basis. The three stations | recently purchased by the commission from the Canadian National Railways will undoubtedly carry the full schedule. The commission will not itself stage ' sponsored programs, and its policy will be to encourage commercial sponsors to use its transcontinental hook-ups for broadcasts “of a type that will appeal to Canadian listeners.” At present the commission stages three coast-to-coast programs weekly, one being a symphony concert, the second band music and the thisd old-time dance music. — i { | court recently Walter Frampton, an at- which has just been completed.
