- Theater Owners to Air Diffefgn_ces With Radio Open Forum of Exhibitors, Producers and Network Officials Scheduled to Be Called. By Chris organization, announces that if Mathieson. t will call a conference to ponder the T THE Motion Picture Theater Owners of America, national exhibitor effect of broadcasting on that bills, “box office.” Thus, the ment signify their intention to bring measure of public reaction to theater men who traffic in celluloid entertain- into the open all angles of the film vs. radio affray—most violent in the entertainment business—at an open forum of exhibitors, producers and network The limning of broadcasting as form of stay-at-homes who might: have been paying customers, has been principally the concern of mo- tion picture theater operators, al- # though & few producers share the view. It is contended by the former that the frequent use of “big-name” screen talent as regular or guest per- formers on air shows results in the listeners becoming less eager to see the stars at the cinema palaces and makes visits to theaters less fre- « Quent. Statistics indicating that certain individual players have turned to radio without a falling off of rev- enue from their pictures have failed to convince the bitter theater gentry. From Hollywood comes the com- plaint that radio engagements and the rehearsals entailed are interfer- ing with “shooting” schedules for im- portant films. From time to time producers have tried to bar their top- flight actors from regular air ap- pearances entirely, relenting when a guest spot would be good publicity for & forthcoming or recently-released motion picture. Realizing that it would be futile to buck radio, the large producing com- « Panies began some time ago rather half-hearted attempts to buy into the competitive field and work more closely with the networks. Paramount once owned a half interest in the Co- lumbia Broadcasting System, but sold 1t during the depression years. Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer controls WHN in New York City, and Warner Bros. owns KFWB, in Hollywood. Paramount re- cently signed Ruby Cowan. former B. C. executive, to act as liaison o cer in the matter of radio work by the stars on the company's pay roll. Warner Bros. has Martin Gosch mov- ing between Hollywood and New York City on the same business. Principal use made of broadcasting by the pro- ducers, however, is to “plug” new pic- ‘!ures through appearances of the stars ®s “guests” of established programs The current hue being raised by the M. P. T. O. A. seems rather illogical, since no screen player can impress in the same manner through a micro- phone as in a film. Few stars are favorites on the basis of their voices alone; few persons who enjoy their acting would as well sit before a loud- speaker and merely hear their words. The celluloid plavers who have turned to radio have proven entertaining in either medium, but not in the same fashion. It is almost ludicrous to con- tend that they are competing themselves. Hollywood has drawn many e star from network studios, ready-made stars who have been sure- fire “box office” hecause of audiences established through the air toil. [J ACCEPTING & medal bestowed by the Army Ordnance Association, Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, chair- man of the board of Radio Corp. of America, calls radio, itself a “war baby,” one of the first industries to be called to the colors in the event of another war. Under the “industrial mobilization plan” of the War and Navy Departments, the Army Signal Corps has surveyed approximately 1,400 manufacturers of electrical communi- cations equipment and has selected about 400 as prospective sources of | supply, Harbord declared in his ad- dress last week. “During the World War,” said Gen Harbord, “the only use for radio was for point-to-point communica- tions. There was no broadcasting as we know it today. Broadcasting was & ‘war baby,’ and the baby has now - come of age. Many of the nations of | Europe today are demonstrating that v Propaganda broadcast by radio, both for home and foreign consumption, | has become an important instrument of modern warfare. “In case of war, all broadcasting recelving sets in America will be- come targets for enemy transmitters, ‘whereas our broadcasting stations will be carrying our own story to the rest of the world. The series of broadcasts from Spain, available to American short-wave listeners, is an indication of what may be expected. Our geo- graphical isolation would be a help, for our home receivers are distant from potential enemies. Fortunately, the improbability of effective air raids makes unnecessary the underground studios the British Broadcasting Corp. is planning for London.” [} F ONE is adept at putting a tune on paper after hearing it played, he will be able to secure the music for many of radio's theme songs, which are not otherwise available, for the greater number of theme melodies are never published for popular con- sumption. Hal Kemp is responsible for both “How I Miss You” and “Let's Raise the Curtain.” ‘“Carefree,” identifying melody of Lily Pons’ show, is from the pen of Andre Kostalanetz. Gus ' € Haenschen wrote an untitled theme for the Saturday Night Serenade pro- gram, while Victor Young turned out Al Jolson’s musical trade-mark and ~..Robert Armbruster did an original number for the Radio Theater. Vic- tor Moore authored both lyrics and score of the incidental music used on his program. A PHIL BAKER, who added comedy to his principal talent only in re- cent years in broadcasting, possesses an accordion without parallel in the world, as far as he knows. It was made to his special order six years 8go, and features a slanting keyboard instead of the orthodox flat variety— the better to travel up and down the scale. The instrument is equipped with attachments which make pos- sible flute and clarinet tones. He employs the latter but rarely, because ® few believe that they are listening to an accordion over the air. Cost of the super squeezebox was $1,250. COLUMBIA intrusts the director- ship of its newly established short- ‘wave program department to a young lady known as Elizabeth-Ann Tucker, whose task is to arrange special American programs each day for broadcasts to England, Europe and Latin America, sent out over the re- built international station, W2XE, ‘which went into operation on corona- \ tion day and has a peak daytime power of 40,000 watts. Miss Tucker will use only those reg- ular C.

In addition, she will arrange special programs destined for particular countries and | announced in their respective lan- guages. BSuch airings will often take the form of “Salutes,” such as one to France on Bastile day. levying tribute in the | GLADYS SWARTHOUT, star of con- | cert, screen and radio, makes a guest appearance on the Sunday Eve- ning Hour tonight over WJSV at 8.

AVE you ever wondered how Gracie Allen first began to sing? | About three years ago Gracie and | George were on the air with Guy Lom- bardo. Occasionally, at rehearsals, Gracie would do & bit of off-the-air | clowning for Guy and the boys. Guy and George Burns both assured La Allen that she should send her singing voice over the airlanes, but Gracle no like. Guy’s Royal Canadians encour- | aged Gracie's rehearsal outbursts by aid-libbing an accompaniment, and | finally surprised her by popping up with a special Allen arrangement of | | her favorite melody—"“My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua.” One day, George frantically told Gracie two minutes were needed to fill | the program time. Then Guy con- | veniently had an “inspiration.” | “Gracie,” he beamed, “no matter how much nerve it takes, youll simply have to sing!” Gracle sang! And instead of the letters of protest she expected, fans told her they thought her singing style was “cute.” Composers, knowing that audiences are used to hanging on her every word, brought her new melodies. Since that first attempt, she has been rated one of the first five song- pluggers on the air. Cashes In on Air Feud. JUST about the only person to gain a direct cash return out of the now defunct Benny-Allen feud was 10- year-old Stuart Canin of Edgemere, Long Island. The total was $205 from radio alone. i The youthful violinist, whose first | appearance in the Allen Town Hall last December 30 was the unsuspecting cause of the row, inasmuch as his musical ability led Allen to comment adversely about Benny's fiddling, re- ceived $55 for that broadcast. Later on in the fight he made a repeat appearance for another $55. Then on the Sunday night he was Benny's guest his pay was $100. —— Ventriloquism Revived. Ventriloquism seemed to be a dying art in America until Edgar Bergen and his dummy, named Charley Me- Carthy, scored such an instant suc- cess on the Rudy Vallee hour some months ago that they were called back week after week and even substituted for Rudy as master of ceremonies when he went over to London for the coronation. Secret of their suc- audience, it is said in radio circles, was the lively patter and Bergen’s device of having himself “ribbed” by his dummy. Indeed, wooden-faced Charley McCarthy is even better known than is his master. Now Ber- gen proposes to organize an American Society of Ventriloquists among the 40 or so that are left on the American stage—and it has been suggested that Charley be chosen as vice president in charge of dummies. Germans Get Patents. Great activity in radio in Germany, particularly in television in short wave broadcasting, is reflected in the un- usual number of patents granted Ger- man inventors by the United States Patent Office in recent weeks. Fifteen were granted in one day last weck alone, includ’hg three to the noted radio pioneef Manfred von Ardenne, covering snért wave and cathode ray tube methods.

Lombardos Once Played For “Coffee and Cakes” Orchestra Took Part of Pay in Refresh- ments—Rise to Fame Rapid After Chicago The people who face a micro- phone for pay represent all con- ceivable types of human beings. Here are glimpses of several air performers heard regularly over the networks, something of their past and how they came to radio's higher rungs. LONDON, Ontario, is Canada’s tenth city in size. A brisk industrial community, it is best known for its one outstanding crop—musicians. The Lombardos came from there. They still are coming from London, to be exact. It wasn't so many months ago that Guy, taking on a second pianist, one Frank Vigneau, asked him the name of his home town. “London, Ontario,” was the reply. It was some time ago, of course, that Guy, his brothers, Carmen and Lie- bert, who played the sax and trumpet; Fritz Kreitzer, ptanist; Francis “Muff” Henry, guitarist; George Gowans, drummer, and Fred Higman, saxo- | phonist, put on their Sunday suits and sloped for the border to make fame and fortune. They made a proud little group, but | one whieh bucked up its courage at | intervals in their many adventures with a suit case full of home-baked cookie8 packed by mothers who liked their music. They were good cookies, | too, and familiar to the taste. In | fact, these cookies formed a sizeable | portion of the boys’ remuneration for | playing at mothers’ club mcctings' and at private dances, where the usual fee was $15, with $10 knocked off if refreshments for the band and dances with guests were included. 1 Fortune smiled from the start. A | little wanly, perhaps, but with enough ! spirit to land them a job at the Fort | Stanley Casino, a Lake Erie resort. | They were presently in Cleveland, | where Guy, already radio conscious | (it was 1923), tried to sell the man- | | ager of a local station an idea to run | & wire into their night club. He was completely unsuccessful. Popular mu- sic, the club owner thought, was not for the pristine tastes of his listeners. Lombardo next laid siege to Chi- cago—and then came fame after sev- eral weeks of failure. The *“Royal Canadians” played to a house full of | echoes at the Granada Cafe before its manager and the head of Station WBBM were induced to make their music a radio feature. Since then the story of the advance of radio is the | story of QGuy's own skyrocketing | triumph. | Word of their Chicago success spread rapidly to New York, where the husband of a woman who had hired | them to play at the London Woman's | Club in their formative years negoti- | ated an offer from the Hotel Roosevelt, | where they are now completing their seventh Spring engagement. By this time the band was aug-! mented by Victor Lombardo, Larry Owen and Jim Dillon, saxophonists, and Ben Davis, bass horn player. | RADIO listeners never hear Ozmie Nelson playing an instrument when his orchestra is broadcasting, T SUNCAY PUAYES “Benjamin’s Cup” WISV TODAY, 1:30 PM.

JONOR of one of the most unusual contracts in radio-is Ken Murray, who has just signed pretty Marlyn Stuart for three more years to read Just one line on his weekly program. Under the salary terms, she is paid more per word than perhaps any one else on the air. The line, of course, is “Mama, oh, mama, that man's here again,” which opens and closes the Murray show. Ken “discovered” Miss Stuart last year when he was starring on Broad- way in Earl Carroll's “Sketch Book.” He immediately put her under per= sonal contract, and when Hollywood was set for the originating point of his new broadcast Marlyn came out west too, “just to say one line.” AST week marked the beginning of Kate Smith's seventh radio. year in When asked what special ob- | servance would mark her anniversary she replied: “It's not just my radio “birthday.” You seem to forget that it will be Ted's sixth year just as much as it's mine.” Kate pointed out that Ted Collins, her manager, has been present at every one of her broadcasts and that she has never One Spring night in 1930 Ted flipped a coin while waiting for a Long Island train, and “tails” decided that he should go to see a Broadway hit of that season, “Flying High" For the first time he heard the rich voice of the girl who was, under his guidance, to sing her way into the homes and hearts of millions. Almost before the final curtain he was back- stage to arrange recordings for a phonograph company with which he was then associated.
