By Peter Dixon. HE AUTHORS are coming! I Network executives, sponsors and advertising men, dissatisfled with much of the material now available for broadcasts, are turn- ing more and more to the seasoned writers, just as a few years ago they went after the veteran entertainers of the musical comedy and vaudeville stages. Almost every important writer in America has been tentatively approached by the radio program executives. Many of them have been waiting patiently for this day, for almost all of them, no matter what they say for publication, are intrigued by this thing radio. One advertising agency and one ma- jor network, realizing that radio has a technique all its own, have made plans to get the best results from these skillful word craftsmen. Instead of expecting them to turn out a radio script with the same smoothness of an article or a short story, both the network and the agency plan to team the name author with a trained radio continuity writer. The combination ought to be a good one and the result may be radlio literature that will stand on its own legs. Curiously enough, the rank and file of the radio writers welcome this influx of “name” authors. The competent ones know that there will always be work for them to do and that an im- port of literary giants will merely serve to focus attention on the im- portance of material and, in time, the fees paid for good material will be | considerably increased. | | HE average price paid for a radio script has doubled in the past | year. Howeyer, the radio writer is still paid less for the amount of work he does than the playwright or the movie scriptist.

Every event, you, has a comic twist in it some- where. He doesn’t use the ordinary gag man’s routine—that of digging old jokes out of files and finding new twists for *hem. He makes his gags come as a qatural part of a humor- ous situation. Conn has developed an entirely new formula for radio comedy. He mixes topical situations, parodies of movies and plays and newsreels, travelogues, books with comedy dialects and un- expected lines for stooges. The latter are drawn from the ranks of Benny's supporting cast. Conn points out that the reason many things which Frank Parker and Don Bestor say seem so funny is that no one expects a tenor or an orchestra leader to know any- | thing except music. Conn does not believe in infusing too much subtlety into radio scripts, not because of any lack of faith in | creed that only “western” music shall the audience’s intelligence, but because be used in radio programs in order he belleves listeners are impatient. | to promote musical culture among the ‘They want to know immediately what | people.
