Public Demands Better Radio Music; Byblorr-ia Hastings ;i
ANOTHER program designed for the youngsters and spon-
sored by a food store has made its appearance on Station WBZ uader the title of "Skipper Jim's Treasure Chest."
An adult cannot pass complete- . ly fair judg-
ment on it be- cause he finds i t almost im- possible to re- capture j u s t the right de- gree of naivete o r sophistica- tion to match the childish at- titude.
Granted that my op in ion, then, is awry (particularly as at this writing
I have heard only a pre -view of the program), I can only guess how I
would enjoy the program if I were once more a child,
My guess is that I would be greatly attracted by the collector's urge which the sponsors encour- age and rather skillfully tie up with advertising, that I would be amused by the first of Skipper Jim's stories and would be bored with the second. that I would like more music on the program, and that I would like to hear children actually taking part in the broad- cast.
Certainly adults, at least, would enjoy the latter addition -and it is adults to whom children's com- mercial programs 'arc addressed.
I devote so much space to a
children's program because radio is replacing books in the lives of many youngsters. "BUCK RoG- i:Rs," "Little Orphan ANNIE,"

Mr. I-IASTItiG
Is Willing To Pay For Improvement Plans For
Yacht Race Broadcast
Elaborate plans are.bcing made by both the Columbia and Na- tional Broadcasting Systems to broadcast descriptions of the America's Cup Race between T. O. M. SoPwtrtt's "Endeavour" and the American challenger, as yet unpicked.
In addition to the two network broadcasts throughout the United States, arrangements have been made to short wave the- descrip- tion to the British Broadcasting Corporation, which will rebroad- cast the race for English listen- ers.
The start, highlights and fin- ish of the race, as the big sloops sail the 30 -mile course off New- port, Rhode Island, will be de- scribed.
Columbia will employ a staff of announcers and yachting ex- perts headed by TED HUsING and HERBERT L. STONE. editor of Yachting ,tlagazine. They plan to use a short wave transmitter placed on a Coast Guard cutter and another in an airplane flying above the course. PAUL WHITE will direct the different broadcast points from another station set up at Sakonet Point.
WILLIAM LUNDELL and 'BEN GRAUER will he the NBC an- nouncers. NBC also will nave transmitters aboard Coast Guard cutters.
The broadcasts over NBC will

Misleading Ads Must Go
Says Gary By The MICROPHONE'S Spt,i.d
Ire:Abington Correspondent
American radio, to live, must free itself of "current ahuses," warns HAMSON GARY, chairman of the broadcasting division of the new federal Communications Commission.
Good taste and common sense should be its guides, he believes.
Misleading advertising was as- sailed by him. He said:
"There is certain advertis- ing being done on the radio which is unfortunate to say the least.
"We have all heard some people on the air who should not have been on the air.
"Radio advertisers with the radio stations and net- works could develop their own school of ethics. guid- ing themselves." Gary suggested that radio in-
terests establish an organization similar to the American Bar As- sociation or the American Med- ical Association.
The Commission does not want to dictate what manner of enter- tainment should go over the air,

'Big Freddy' Miller Discovered Rubinoff When His Violinist Quit Began As Never A Let -Up For Those Who
Orchestra Broadcast The `Special Events' Conductor
Radio possesses more hazards for the performer than the old vaudeville stage cvcr did, is the opinion of "Big Nanny" MILLER, NBC baritone now singing over WEEI, in an exclusive interview 'with The MICROPHONE.
Although Mr. MILLER asserted that he himself had tasted radio unemployment only once, he has been in a position affording an easy outlook upon the situation.
"Personally, I think every radio performer should hoard every dollar he can possibly corner," said Mr. Miller. "It is his only assurance against the bread line. I have seen too many reach sudden heights, only to have a whim of the sponsor cast the star into utter oblivion." When FREDDY MILLER started
on his career of entertaining the public, he never thought he had the makings of a baritone. He sang an occasional ballad while shaving. in a scratchy high voice. But he was very young in 1913 when he organized an orchestra for hotel engagements.
For two years he did well. Sud- denly the violinist, who was a
German, took his tow head from MILLER'S orchestra into Ger- many's front lines to fight for his Vaterland. Consequently. MIL- LER needed another violinist.
And it was "Big FREDDY" MIL- LER who discovered the now popular violinist, Rt;BINOFr, and his violin. MII.LLR heard the young Jewish lad playing with a
IPhiladelphia orchestra. RUBINOFF was getting Sts a week, and think- ing himself lucky after being in this country only two years. FREDDY
offered him Soo a week. RUBINOFF - almost embraced him.
Mr. MILLER IS reputed to be the first to originate the collcc- tivc advertising program. It hap- pened in Cincinnati five years ago. At that time he was work- ing in a night club. He was of- fered a song, piano and banter program. but he refused because he didn't think radio was solid. Besides the hour was too early, 7A.M.
Mrs. MILLER, a former actress. had bigger visions for radio, and made him give it a try. The pro- gram started out with four ad- vertisements to fill in time for '15 minutes.
"Big FREDDI" is striving to ab- stain fiom cigarettes after 20 years of cigar and cigarette smok- ing. His wife thinks him par- ticularly humorous when he tells her he'll never smoke again . . .
"after this one with my coffee." "Well. it could he worse,
I suppose." murmured Mr. Miller. "Because you can imagine how hard it would he if I were sponsored by a cigarette manufacturer, in- stead of only soap."
Big Yacht Race Will be Broadcast
( Continued from P. :ge t) be over WEAL' and WJZ for six periods a day, beginning at I1.15 A. M. on September 15. The first CBS broadcasts will be at about the same time.
Sports, Funerals, A Place Where All Speeches Fill
The Day
AMAP of the world rep- resents the studios of
the public events and special features department of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem.
Whether it's a descriptive broadcast of the President's arrival in Honolulu, the un- veiling of a monument in South Africa. or the Reichs- tag ceremonies honoring the late PAUL VON HINDENBURG, it's just another job for this department headed by Nut. WHITE.
Snapshots of a typical day:
A cable from Berlin states the time of the HINDENBURG funeral. Telephone calls to production, master control and the program department set the broadcast.
A confirmatory cable is sent to CESAR SAERCHINGER, CBS foreign director. A message over Columbia's pri- vate tale- typewriters notifies the network stations. Con- tinuity is prepared. News- papers throughout the coun- try are notified.
A telephone rings in the office of JoE DoNoHUE of the New York staff. Boa TROUT, CBS Presidential an- nouncer, is calling from somewhere in Washington State for the exact time of President ROOSEVELT'S speech in Glacier National Park.
Telegrams are sent to TED CHURCH of the Washington staff and to C. W. MYERS or C. Roy HUNT of KOL, Portland. TROrr is ph iced as soon as the information is available.
Another cable reports com- pletion of arrangements for GEORGE BURNS and GRACIE ALLEN to appear on the fa- mous variety hour of the British Broadcasting Cor- poration.
Program, production and master control are notified. Plans are perfected to "short wave" BURNS and ALLEN'S "spot" on the va- riety hour to the United
TLD HUSING, .sports broadcaster and "special events" man, who now is anagging for Fall football games.
States for a special program over the Columbia network.
TED HUSING and PAUL \X'InITn: start their annual ar- gument about the football schedule. The early season games to he broadcast are easily selected.
Late October and early November, with their be- wildering array of gridiron entertainment. preseht a dif- ficult problem.
On October 27 a game must be selected from Army - Yale; Ohio State- Northwest- ern; Michigan State- Illinois; Notre . Dame -Wisconsin and the Cornell -Princeton bat- tles. WHITE and HUSING tentatively select the Yale - A rmy game.
The public events and spe- cial features department is a clearing house for all broad- casts by civic and social wel- fare organizations. Calls come daily from representa- tives of groups varying from the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Announc- ers to the Home for Indigent Field Mice.
And there is the omnipres- ent fellow with a "swell idea" for a broadcast. Gen- erally it's a trick program
Tina Had Company
_l 1ME. SCHUMANN -HEINK was sitting in a restaurant after the opera one evening. CARUSO came upon her:
Before her was a huge steak. "Why, Tina," said the great tenor, "surely you are not going to eat that all alone ?" "No," she flashed back, "mit potatoes!"
Ideas Cost Money
from a falling parachute or a traveler who wants to ar- range an educational series from far -away places on the globe - provided someone else furnishes the money.
Some6ne suggests a broad- cast from a haunted house; another wishes to link the BIRD Antarctic Expedition and the hottest place in America. Death Valley (cost of facilities for this idea would exceed $25,000) -all kinds of stunts in connection with aviation, many of them already done. Yet WHITE or his staff members patiently hear all. for often an obscure idea is developed into a good show.
In 1928, Columbia ar- ranged its first special broad- cast of note. TED HUSING went to Washington and de- scribed the funeral cere- monies for FLOYD BENNETT.
During the past five years, the public events and special features department has ar- ranged thousands of pro- grams. For the first six months of 1934. special broadcasts increased more than 50 per cent.
European Reception
Improving By GEORGE LILLEY
From out of the Eastern Atlan- trcs darkness, European short wave voices are drifting through to local afternoon listeners in better shape than at any time during the Summer. Reception undoubtedly will continue to im- prove as daylight hours lessen.
Throughout the past Summer months, few programs of enjoy- able signal strength spanned the seas until 5 or 6 P. M. Down on the 19 -meter spectrum, where radiations normally flash all over the light side of the globe, con- ditions have been erratic; and thus most of the morning trans- missions from the Continent and England were ruined.
After 12 noon, the higher wave lengths used by the Euro- pean ether disturbers. coupled with the long hours of daylight, created a dull dial for at least three or four hours. In addition, most of the trans -Atlantic sta- tions directed their transmissions to other parts of the world. Not until 5 or 6 in the evening (EST) did they give attention to American listeners.
Now dusk is closing in much earlier on the Continental cap- itals and an all around reception improvement here in the East has been the result. England and Paris on 25- meters are offering enjoyable signals by 4 P. M.

Roosevelt Perfect Speaker President ROOSEVELT, of all
men and women in the public eye, is the master of the art of correct speech, according to VIDA
SUTTON, radio speech expert. Miss SUTTON will again be
heard in the "Magic Speech" series, beginning on September
21, for the seventh season. "The president possesses
almost perfect speech tech- nique," says Miss Sutton, and has the most cosmopol-
itan speech of any of our -
public figures.

Saturday, August 25, 1934 THE MICROPHONE
By Jimmy J. Leonard
1- N LYT to the man who insists upon smoking a pipe in bed, we hate a writer who thinks
it necessary to give vital statistics. So get your hate glands working: we're about to begin.
Radio is but 14 years okl, according to HAR- LAN EUGENE READ, radio expert. There are 17,000,000 radios installed in the United States today, not counting the one I have in the cel<
far. Now we'll get a little financial. According
to round fig- ure reports, radio has an i n v estmcnt in these 48 states of one and a half billion dol- lars. A n d the radio folks p a y s 2, 000, 000 per annum for upkeep. N o w comes the best part of this rather hazy report. Approxi- mately 1t0,- 000 people are employed in this field of endeavor, w h i c h in- dudes h i l l
billies. JACK DEN -
NY is going to take the first vacation he's had in more than i years. He is one of the most hard -working maestros on the Lane. JACK has been on most of the biggest stunt spots on the air, and always has kept busy in club engage- ments during off moments
He is a rabid golf fin, and may be seen toting the irons about a Connecticut country dub as early as 5 in the morning. One of his favorite golf companions is a sax player named "PLNKY," who is credited with having read every golf book ever printed in English. DEN- NY will lose several thousand dollars by taking his leave, but he should worry. He's close to a million now.
A well -liked knowman is humming that Ten H1'SING and JEAN HARLOW look. forward to shaking rice from their lo-±s in the Fall. FRED WARING gives the longest studio show after his radio spot signs off. He plays an extra half hour. Did you ever hear of a maestro in the shirt - making business? WARING Owns and runs one on his off time.
JACK DENNY
PIC MALONE. and PAT PADGETT,
Showboat's Molasses 'n' January, have been buddies for yeahs and 'eahs. Even though they chose
diffcrcnt occupations for a while. Pic turned out to be a school teacher after leaving school while PAT took his flair out on the Army. PAT also sold bonds. Both boys are so superstitious they will not appear before a
microphone without their black makeup.
There arc still some consider- ate people in radio. Take JOEY
NASH. Last Winter NASH had a slight cold. So before the pro- gram began he sprayed his micro- phone with germ- killer as a pro- tection to other performers. Girls: NASH is 25 and single, and not bad to look at, either. The Three Country Gentlemen" who occasionally sing with VALLEE are the same 'Three Youngsters" yodeling for REGGIE CHILD.
An unusual fan letter came the other day CO GLORIA LA VEY, NBC lyric soprano. Among other things it told her that her voice had carried into Nishinomiya, Shigai.
JOSEPHINE and J. PAUL REED, teachers in Kwansei Gakium (Nippoonese for Japan Univer- sity) wrote the letter thanking her for entertaining them.

The Public Taste THOSE who insist the public taste is unformed, puerile,
depraved even, are insistent in the face of the facts.
When quality is obtainable, the American public is keenly
appreciative. True, it gets its entertainment where it can, and may listen to indifferent programs if good ones are not available, but it prefers good ones, nevertheless. A case in point is afforded by the recent Arthur Fiedler con- certs, given on the Charles River Esplanade in Boston, sponsored by The MICROPHONE and widely broadcast. Only classical and semi -classical music was played; the programs were devoid of jazz. Yet on any warm, clear evening at least 10,000 people gathered on the Esplanade to enjoy the music, and thousands of others heard it over the radio. Many radio listeners have written to The MIC- ROPHONE to express their appreciation. It gave The MICROPHONE pleasure to he able to give pleasure to othérs, and to prove once more a point that seems to be in some doubt -the good things in life are seldom the most expensive.
Magic On The Air WHERE'S magic on the air; radio has become an edu-
cator. In a few years, from being a popular and equally. despised "crooner," Rudy Vallee has become a showman of parts, busily building a reputation already en- viable. The less he croons the more popular he becomes.

Dl R York correspondent. GLI:PFY, tells a story about JACK PEAR!., the Baron
MUNCHAUSEN. It proves that the Baron, though he likes to be laughed at when he is in character, resents being laughed at as an in- dividual.
He got out of the elevator on the main floor of Radio City recently after a program. He noticed that there were snickers from the peo-
p I e around him in the elevator and also when he stepped to the street floor. He was definite- ly p u zzled, but he walked along with t h e best appear.

Crowding :lIusiral Shows For By DICK TEMPLETON
New York Correspondent
DRAMA is going to crowd the comedians and the
musicals this Fall. With the report that S H E R L O C K
HOLMES probably will come back to the air waves in Sep- tember for its original spon- sor, that makes a dozen pro- grams that will be dramatic this Fall.
Dramatic s h o ws rarely have as large listening au- diences as musical or comedy programs. But sponsors feel that what listeners they do get pay attention to what they hear. It is a little difficult to play bridge while S H E R L O C K
HOLMES is finding a mur- derer.
With the quick success of BARRY MCKINLEY for a soap company as a pointer. it was natural that another soap would follow. The sponsor plans to do hour -long dramas, such as "The Green God- dess." The Crime Club is to stay, with its continued story idea covering two nights. The Shadow comes back on a limited network as does True Detective stories.
The Family Theatre of the Air has LARRY HOLC.OMB,
who wrote the one radio classic "Skyscraper," at work on the script which is being used by BUDDY RoGERS and JEANIE LANG in their new
program. BURR COOK is doing a
good job on a new script called "Home Sweet Home."
JOE COOK with his Mon- day night house parties has switched his show all around. He's making his featured vocalists talk on his pro- gram.
DONALD Novis and FRAN- CES LANGFORD have speaking parts as well as singing ones. JOE found that audiences liked somebody else beside the star to have lines and in his changed House Party not only do the singers talk but also DON VOORHE -S, macs - tro of the hour.
In their eagerness to get business, some of the larger stations are risking their lis- tening audiences by cheapen- ing their programs. One large station in the Middle West recently sold an hour's program which is to consist of nothing but phonograph records and announcements.
This may be a quick way to get the advertiser's money.
. but it is an even quicker way to blow off listeners. The city doesn't exist which hasn't enough local talent to offer live programs instead of such junk.
This is no slap at electri- cal transcriptions - some of the best programs we have had have been on wax -but
LEON BELASCO
his bright -colored stage uniform. You may think that LEON BEL.isco iS a
mouthful of a name. But it is really very sim- ple compared to the real name of this NBC orchestra leader. He was christened LEONID
SEMIONVICH BERLADSKY. It was MORTON DoWNEY who threw his hands up in the air and then changed it to LEON BELASCO.
SHAKESPEARE wrote a long time before any- one had imagined such a thing as a radio pro- gram. And yet VERNON RADCLIFFE, director of the Radio Guild, says that SHAKESPEARE is radio's most effective dramatist.
Says RAociIFFr: "Shakespeare used no scenery. Rising above actual settings, his dia- logue is a pictorial appeal through the car to the imagination. This is exactly what is re-
quired of a radio theatre." The only difficulty RADC:LIFFE
experienced in producing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on the air was the fact that he couldn't change any lines. They were perfect for radio as they were written.
Far be it from gangster stories but this is too good:
The COMPINSKY Trio, a
tinguished Chamber music ensem- ble, were speeding from their country home to studios in Al- bany, New York. A trooper stopped them and the judge fined them $10 for fast driving. They explained to the judge that they were hurrying to their broadcast. The judge advised them to keep on hurrying and they would just make it.
I have not enough room in this column to finish this story, and, since it is particularly good. please bear with me until next week, when you will be given the denoument.
Fall there's a difference between playing an hour of recorded tripe -and a program "elec- trically transcribed for broad- cast purposes only.
The boys who manage sta- tions should put their feet down and refuse to accept such orders -if they wish to retain their listeners.
One indication of that fact that there is no need to use records in towns where there arc radio stations was shown in a nationwide audition held recently to select a girl radio star.
This was conducted by broadcasters in many differ- ent sections of the country. Each section produced a large number of contestants, and they were all such Rood material that it was difficult for the judges to decide.

Saturday, August 25, 1934 THE. MICROPHONE Page Seven
Public Writes The MICROPHONE, Asking Better Radio Music Willing To Pay For The Improvement
(Continued f, ,ì a Page i )
the ARTHUR FIEDLER Esplanade Concerts, made possible by The MICROPHONE and the SHEPARD Broadcasting Service, is indication that there is a sweeping demand for good music on the air.
Hundreds of unsolicited letters poured into The MICROPHONE office, all appreciative of Mr. FIEDLER'S excellent programs and insisting that there be more like them on the radio.
So great is that insistence that many are willing to contribute toward the establishment of a
fund thereby assuring the presen- tation of first -class radio pro- grams.
Characteristic is this letter from a MICROPHONE reader in Ports- mouth, New Hampshire:
This Summer we have en- joyed so much good music, that I am sure all music - lovers are glad to express their appreciation in some way. Certainly I am.
The Esplanade concerts have been delightful, my only regret being that they are only shared by radio lis- tL: cis for 30 minutes.
"If there is ever a fund started to promote good radio music, you may count on me as a subscriber." Another subscriber writes from
South Boston to say: "I am writing to let you
know how much I have en- joyed the broadcasts of the Arthur Fiedler Esplanade Concerts.
"The music is simply mar- velous and the selections played are those most ap- pealing to the audience.
"The pieces that I enjoyed most were 'The Prince and the Princess' from 'Schehere- zade,' and Kreisler's 'The Old Refrain.'" During the last week of the
concerts and bróadcasts all let- ters expressed keen regret that the Esplanade season was drawing to a close and hoped that they would again be given next year.
Fiedler's Idea The ARTHUR FIEDLER Esplanade
Concerts were organized five years ago by the popular conduc- tor of the Pops concerts in Bos- ton.
It being his conviction that free music should be made available to the public just as books are available in libraries or paintings in museums, he consistently has refused to charge admission to these outdoor concerts.
They have been supported, in. stead, by voluntary popular sub- scriptions.
Given amidst beautiful sur- roundings on the banks of the Charles River and played in the twilight, the concerts have at- tracted an audience of anywhere from eight to twenty thousand persons from all walks of life.
Looking out from the shell where the orchestra plays at the vast crowd stretching into the distance is a sight not soon to be forgotten and one difficult to put into words because it is magical.
The Crowd The front scats were occupied
by people, frequently the same people night after night, who

must have arrived on the grounds early in the afternoon.
There was, for example. the neatly -dressed elderly lady, appa rently a music teacher. who con- ducted with Mr. FIEDLER all dur- ing the concerts, or the distin- guished, bewhiskered gentleman who bore a striking resemblance
YO ANATOLE FRANCE, or the frail little woman wrapped in news- papers to shelter her from the evening breeze.
And all -rich and poor. young and old, were absorbed in a com- mon, exalted emotion as Mr. FIEDLER and his men from the Boston Symphony Orchestra played notably notable music.
The Broadcasts Because of their remarkable
popularity and truc distinction, The MICROPHONE took much pride and pleasure in making the broadcasts of these concerts pos- sible.
The MICROPHONE knew that it was bringing Into thousands of homes the sort of programs peo- ple in those homes wanted to hear.
The MICROPHONE was not mistaken. The congratulatory messages. T h e MICROPHONE has received during the Esplanade season and after are proof of that.
But let some of these apprecia- tive listeners speak for them- selves.
"Whatever The MICRO - PHONE has done toward having the Esplanade con. cens broadcast in part is cer- tainly appreciated as I have not been able to attend as many of the concerts as I
should like to have done," writes a listener from Cant - -bridge.
"I have enjoyed the Fied- ler concerts very much over the radio. There is no or- chestra like our Boston Sym- phony," another writes from Somerville. From Melrose comes this note:
"I greatly appreciate the pleasure of hearing the Fied- ler Esplanade Concerts by
radio, and am glad cf the op- portunity to express my feel- ing to The MICROPHONE and the Shepard Broadcast- ing Service.'
A shut -in musician whose present joys come largely through radio takes this op- portunity to offer thanks for the Esplanade concert broad- casts."
"Best On The Air" A Boston lady writes:
"Very sorry the Esplanade concerts are coming to a close. They are certainly the best concerts. no exceptions, on the air."
"The Esplanade music has been great," writes a Wor- cester lady. From Kingston, Rhode Island,
comes this: "Thank you for the pleas-
ure derived from the broad- casts of the Esplanade con- certs."
"We greatly enjoy listen- ing to the Esplanade concerts over the radio," writes a man from Gardner.
From A Farm From the wealth of appreciative
letters at hand, The MICRO- PHONE could Quote indefinitely. Here is one that stands out by itself:
"I want you to know how much I enjoyed the concert
Jack Smith Is On New Series
"Whispering" JACK SMITH, ac
companied by ARNOLD JOHNSON'S orchestra, will begin a thrice- weekly program series over the WABC- Columbia network, Tuesday. Sep- tember r t, broadcasting Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 7.3o to 7.45 P. M.
JACK SMITH, "whispering bar- itone," was the first to inaugurate the soft, low, confidential style of singing which was possible beyond intimate gatherings only with the advent of electrical recordings and radio transmission,
on the Esplanade. It was lovely. I live on a farm away- down in Maine, 12 miles from Waterville. I
lived in Boston a great many years. I moved down here 13 years ago. I would he
very lonely if it was not for the radio. I used to sing in the Handel and Haydn So- ciety, also sang in the Boyl- ston Club. I enjoy my music as much as ever. I was 75 my last birthday in May."

Practice in Soundproof
Apartment By JACQUES FRAY and
MARIO BRAGGIOTTI
Without the aid of a slide rule, or the square of the hypotenuse, we have tried to solve the prob- lem of spirited radio entertain- ment that never loses momentum.
Given two well -tuned pianos and the incalculable output of Tin Pan Alley, plus the classics from PAI.ESTRINA to RAVEL; fig- ure on the opposing clement of stiff competition from symphony orchestras, 40-piece dance aggre- gations, military bands, chamber music ensembles, gags and stooges, and dramatic mystery scripts, and the problem of pre- paring a different and entertain- ing program attains gargantuan proportions.
The first step in solving our problem was the acquisition of a
sound -proof apartment. There are lots of music -lovers in the world, but we have found by sad experience that most of them pre- fer to occupy orchestra seats when communing with Orpheus.
Music seeping through the ceiling or rising from the floor boards is apt to disturb a bridge game or terminate a much -en- joyed family argument.
Coping With Neighbors Folks who will sit enthralled
before the music from their radio speakers will jump for a rap on the steam pipe at the first quiver of a scale. 'Nor can we convince them that the first quiver and lots of other quivers of the scale must be our daily diet if they wish to continue enjoying our re- citals over the CBS network.
In fact, we can't even convince our listening neighbors that we are FRAY and BRACGIOrTI. Radio artists don't have to play scales, they protest; that's kid stuff.
We finally got the sound -proof apartment -- -(you can't even hear a grace note drop)- leaving us
only two worries. The first, a
program makeup that would make our 15- minute air recitals distinguishable from all the other 15- minute musical programs, and the second, individual arrange- ments that would make our selec- tions distinctive in a forest of two -piano teams.
Taste Is Paramount In staking up our programs.
our chief ingredient must be taste. Our seasoning must be
contrast, we decided. Therefore. we placed the modern angles of GERSHWIN in juxtaposition to the classic columns of WAGNER.
We switched from the brilliant gaiety of DEBUSSY to the lugu- brious dignity of GRIEG. until our programs had the contrast of the color spectrum. Without shame, we let "Stormy Ví'cathcr" and the "Moonlight" Sonata fight it out on the same program.
We expected to hear hoots of derision and cries of "sacrilege" from our audiences after treating them to a few program combina- tions like the above. But no. Listeners like the idea. They found themselves becoming e!.ire acquainted with the style of dif- ferent composers.
The works of two cotnposcrs, entirely different in inspiration, brought the genius of both into sharp relief when heard on the

a long tinte. Still their rreighóors regard them as jurt two bothersome pianists who interfere with bridge, tuning -in and conversation.
same program. Our courage mounted, and we started doing tricks with individual selections.
Unique Arrangements We concentrated for a while
on accented and bizarre dance rhythms. We turned GERSHWINS song "Tip Toes," into a tap dance for fingers on the cover board of the piano. Then we turned "Chopsticks" into a sym- phonic movement after the style of BEETHOVEN. We did to the subway. Concy Island. a depart- ment store and a factory, what FERDE GROFE did to the Grand Canyon. We converted them into descriptive music.
"Yes, We Have No Bananas" has had a psycho -analytical treat- ment on our keyboards. Like PETER ARNO with pen -and -ink, we took "Yankee Doodle" for a
ride on a piano. We pictured him in a tipsy manner. then with the bravado of an intense patriot, and then like a courting swain of the '9os.
Some of our tricks we devel- oped while touring with Man - RICE CHEVALIER. MAURICE has so much charm and vivacity, it was necessary that we, too. flv brave colors. In the hallowed precincts of CARNrGIE Hall we flaunted the ghosts of great sym- phonies with a piano interlude of whimsically - arranged MOTHER GOOSE jingles. When we came off thc stage, MAURCE- standing in the wings threw his famous straw hat in the air and kissed us on both cheeks.
V'e have no set rule _ant ar- Gary \I arms rangements. Whoever gets the inspiration does the work. Some- times a strange chord will sug- gest a thematic develop ;ent. Sometimes one of us will idle over the keys for a bit of self en- tertainment. The other will get an idea from the improvisation, sit at the second piano, pick up the threads of a melody and spon- taneously weave it into the phan- tom of an opera. Inspiration For Two
One of our "spot" inspirations caused a minor sensation:' some weeks ago -confounding dow- agers, delighting the blase, and unbending the studied sophistica- tion of thc younger set. We were called upon to entertain while attending a. smart party. What could we play to entertain people who had TOSCANINI at their ears, RACHMANINOFF at their fingertips and GATTI -CA-
SAZZA as their guest? We hemmed and hawed. We
fooled around with our theme song. "Frcrc Jacques." Whis- pered back and forth for a sec-
ond, and then brought down the house with musical caricatures of the assembled guests. Our recital ended in a game, with everyone trying to identify the victims of our keyboard portraiture.
Until recently, the only thing that we couldn't do with the key- boards was serve up a generous helping of "Steak and Potatoes. Now we have that tune. too. as
;grist to the mill of musical ar- rangements.
Radio Used To 'Palk From Railroad Engine To Caboose B) The M ;cROPHONE's Special Washington Correrpondent
Radio communication from engineer's cab to brakeman's caboose is being tested by the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, according to information received by government department's here.
A 5 -metre two -way radiophone is C. G. Stations ri o being used. Loud speakers and
microphones have been installed in both cab and caboose, with separate antennas used for transmitting and receiving.
Radio waves were said to have a
tendency to follow the tracks, there- by minimizing interference.
The 5 -metre wave length which is used is particularly adapted to fine reception for short distances. This low wave length keeps out many interfering noises.
Join Navy Radio 'The navy will take over con-
trol of Uncle Sam's Coast Guard radio stations between Cape May, N. J.. and the Canadian border about September 1.
Secretary of the Treasury MOR- GENTHAU, who has jurisdiction over the Coast Guard, approved the transfer as a move toward greater efficiency.

There will be no revolutionary shake -up in radio broadcasting li- censes under the new deal" com- mission, GARY indicated. What- ever is done will he "evolution- ary," a term President ROOSEVELT has applied to his policies.

ano Program Popular Air Actors For
New Drama ARTHUR ALLEN and PARKER
FENNELLY, known to listeners throughout the country for their New England characterizations, will be starred in a new series of 15- minute Sunday afternoon dramatic sketches over the NBC - WEAF network.
Starting on September 16. the programs will be heard every Sunday afternoon at 4.45 with ALLEN and FENNELLY in the
principal roles supported by' a
competent group of actors.
Both ALLEN and FENNELLY
were well known on the legiti- mate stage before entering radio and for the past seven years they have worked together on the Soconyland Sketches, one of the
oldest dramatic productions on
the air. Several years ago they also ap-
peared together in the STEBBINS
Boys, a series of week night pro- grams. FENNELLY is at present also heard on Friday nights in the Spotlight Revue.
They will portray in this series
a somewhat different type of character, although they still re-
main old New England natives, whose shrewd sense of values and humorous disregard for twentieth century activities lands them in a series of situations which will be unfolded from week to week.

Modern Mountaineers From "Blue Print" Ridges Of Connecticut
All Are In Their Very
Late Teens
Just A Hill Better Than The Genuine Article Billy League
Of Nations [EDITOR'S N O T F : DAVIDSt.1N
TAYLOR is the CBS announcer wht> announced the broadcasts last Win- ter of the New York Philhaimonic Orchestra. This is the second ar- ticle he has written for The MICRO- PHONE.}
By DAVIDSON TAYLOR
They call themselves the Mod- ern Mountaineers. They're not from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, but from the Blue Print Mountains of Connecticut. That is to say, they're synthetic hill billies.
ELSIE JANIS used to do an hila- rious imitation of WILL ROGERS, complete with chewing gum and lariat, and the gallant Mr. RoG- ERS remarked it was the only imi- tation he ever saw which -was bet- ter than the real thing.
Surpass Real Thing The Modern Mountaineers fall
in that category of surpassing the original. After their first big show on the Columbia Broadcast- ing System, one of New York's severest radio critics referred to them as "the hottest act since the Mills Brothers."
They specialize in old -time tunes, but their tempo is as mod- ern as the orchestrations of FERDE GROFE. Besides the ballads and jigs from the mountains, they do popular music with American instruments, and put in a lively folk song now and then to give thcir programs an international flavor.
B r i d g e p o rt, Connecticut, is their home. They all come from old New England families, such as the PAGANOS, the MuRELIos and the D E M C I S. That's why they're sometimes referred to as
the hill hilly League of Na- tions."
DON PAGANO (PrYUTE PETE to you) organized the group. He heard the Rix COLE Mountain- eers on the air some years ago and said to himself: "I'd like to have a band like that."
Don is of Italian ancestry, al- though he has red hair. He called in JOHNNY MORELLO, who plays the fiddle, and MtcHAEl. LE
DONNE, who plays guitar, and they went to work. MoREL.I.O is Italian, too, and MICKEY LE
DONNE was joined later by his brother, PETER. whose specialty is a metal guitar. They're both of French descent.
Little Joe Some time or other they in-
vited Little Jot: to join them. JOSEPH DEMCI learned to play the bull fiddle by plucking an old, triangular balalaika bass, and lye's a Russian. He's the one who sings folk songs of Russia on the programs; perhaps you've heard him do "Oohar Ku Petz" or "Tansui, Tansui." He's no big-
ger than a high school freshman, his hair stands up all over his head, and he practically has to climb the double bass to reach the neck.
He was going to do one of his vocals on the Columbia Variety Hour. and was warned that many Of FREDDIE RICH'S orchestra men spoke Russian, so he'd better be good.
"That's all right," said Lit-
DON PAGANO, WILLARD JOYCE, JOSEPH DEMCI, MP' IIAEL LE DONNE, PETER IF DONN1: and JOHNNY MORELLO, reprelentIng,, Mr. TAYLOR Jays, Rnnd old New England families, [rho are heard over the If'ABC- Columbia network at 5.45 P. M. Tuesdayr and Thursdays and on Fridays ai 6.3o P. M.
tie Joe. "1 have a good ac- cent." He's very severe with the other
boys about their pronunciation when they join in a refrain.
"Don't sing 'La, la, la,'" he says. "It's 'Li, li, IL' " But there's a British element in
the troupe as yet unaccounted for. WILLARD JOYCE, the banjo player, is of English stock, though you'd never guess it from hearing him play his own compositions, "Scrambled Fingers" and "Tor- rid Chords." DON PAGANO says that WILLARD went out on an en- gagement once with the other fellows, and since then he's just naturally been so important they couldn't leave him out. Staff musicians say that JOYCE has one of the cleanest, fastest executions on a fingerboard they ever saw.
Like League of Nations So there you have them -two
Italians, two Frenchmen, one Englishman and a Russian -- the Modern Mountaineers. But don't
get the idea they're really foreign. They're all American born, mod- est chaps in their late teens (per- haps one of them has turned 20) and as hard -working an outfit as you could want. -
Recently they were impressed into service to make two shorts for the movies in quick order. They worked 36 hours without sleep, and then went in for a
rousing broadcast before they went to bed.
On their second broadcast Pt-
1jiTE PETE lost his harmonica. He rushed to Broadway and knocked on a glass door until a night watchman opened up.
"I want some harmonicas," said Piyute urgently. "Where do you keep them?"
"We're closed," said the watchman. "I can't sell you
anything. Hey, what are you doing? Stay out of that showcase! Didn't 1 tell you
28i ..1I'leter Band Clearing (Continued from Page 3)
Each day these waves will build- up to "local volume" a few min-
utes earlier, and within a few
more months reception on this channel will be good from noon till early evening.
Veteran fans are always pleased
when tuning conditions begin to pick -up on 25- meters, for this is
a much favored quarter of the dial. Reception isn't so "tempera- mental" or erratic as it sometimes can be on lower wavelengths, yet distances are readily covered and static pretty well subdued.
Only the other evening we were listening to a dance pro-
gram from the Mayfair Hotel via 31 -meter GSB. As darkness drew on, static began to grow very troublesome: but all we had to do was to tune -in on 25 -meter GSD, the sister station. Here the same program was seldom mo- lested by natural atmospherics.
That's one thing that is attrac- tive about short wave listening. The lower one explores in the meter spectrums, the less becomes nature's ether bombardments. But sadly enough, this advantage is often overshadowed by the fact that man made noises are a menace. Car ignitions have "shot - up" many a foreign program on the 19 and 16 meter channels.
we're closed?"
"Much obliged, and here's
the money," said Piyute. "Sorry, but 1 had to have harmonicas." He got out quickly while the
watchman still was protesting, and with his hands full of French harps. hailed a taxi. Two min- utes before air time he reached the studio, and he had selected one harmonica in every key.
They Do Read Music They have the edge on many
mountaineer acts in that they' all read music regularly. They can play almost any piece after hear- ing it once, but they also can add to their repertoire from published collections of American music. MICKEY specializes in scat songs, and he borrows freely from Har- lem and New Orleans for his nonsense refrains.
PtvtrrE collects scripts from authentic hill hilly acts, and studies them for pronunciation and typical phraseology.
Any kind of popular music is their meat, so long as it is adapt- able to their rapid tempo. They draw on the folk music of their European ancestors as well as the tunes which our Anglo -Saxon neighbors sing down South.
They're not country boys, but they talk as though none of them had seen a train before last week. They're taking to big time in a big way, and when you see them coffin' round the mountain, they'll be going about 80 miles an hour.
They're the Modern Mountain- eers.

IT SEEMS absurdly early to think of furs, and yet the shops assure us now is the time, if we would have a large selection at reasonable
prices. . This holds true for repair work and remodeling as well. In spite of this good advice we cannot get really serious about full -length coats, that after all are intended primarily for warmth, but we can and do think with pleasure of fur trimmings and all the frivolous gar- ments such as capes, boleros and hug -me- tights, whose chief purpose is to adorn rather than to protect.
FUR CAPES are a.r .smart as ever. :A -very nice model has two eyelets in the front through which is threaded a scarf of the .carne mate- rial as the dress which it accom- panies. For a dressy cape o¡ squir- rel, fox or mink, have a velvet lin- ing and fasten with a matching vel- vet bow.
IF YOU have a small amount of some sports fur, such as nutria or ,kidskin, edge it all around with a bias band of bright woolen mate- rial, fasten it with sturdy leather or fur buttons on one shoulder and wear it with a matching sports dress. The result will be a perfect and very luxurious -appearing costume for first Fall days.
A SHORT -SLEEVED, buttoned blower the front bloure of dyed squirrel is hard to resist. It is shown with a thin woolen evening dress, but can also be worn as a sort of vest under a Winter suit. or as a jacket with a woolen day-lime dress.
FOX is as important as ever for trimming dress -up clothes. JESSICA DRAGONETTE is prepared for the coming season with a pale satin dress and tiny wrap made almost entirely of white fox. 1f you are fortunate enough to have a silver fox, have it made into a necklace to wear with a tailored street dress now and later to transform a plain black coat into your Winter best. Three silver foxes will make a fascinating garment, half bolero, half cape, which is equally lovely for day or evening.
Jack Benny Will Haunt Sunday Air JACK BENNY, comedian extraor-
dinary, will be featured in a new series of broadcasts starting in October. The programs will be heard on Sundays at 7 P. M., al- though the opening date has not been set.
MARY LIVINGSTONE and others who are well -versed in heckling Mr. BENNY will be on hand for the broadcasts.
This and That (Continued from Page r).W
"DICK TRACY" and possibly "Skipper Jim" are now the heroes and heroines in homes where for- merly "Hrint" and "FAUNTLE- ROY" and the MARCH sisters held sway.
For that reason. radio of today plays a tremendously important role in influencing the generation that comes of age tomorrow.
It may be old-fashioned but it's an idea that so far as I know has not yet been tried: Why not broadcast dramatizations of such youthful classics as "Treasure Island" or "The Black Arrow" or "PENROD," with youngsters tak- ing the leading roles?

The Wrong Man
.11 AM Milton Biow," said a voice over the telephone to Miss ALIcE Woon, hostess on the main floor of the NBC
studios in New York. "My agency handles the Philip Morris program. Will you please prepare the clients' room for me and my party?" Miss WooD blinked and looked around. There was MILTON Blow standing a few feet away from her. She gave him the phone. Said he: "I'm Milton B:ow." "Oh," said the party at the other end, and hung up.

Historic Stations
For Sale By The MICROPHONE'S Special
W'a.rhington Correspondent
British Marconi's Poldhu sta- tion on the Cornish coast of Eng- land has been-tdvcrtiscd for sale.
Soon the United States Navy radio station at Sayville, Long Island, will be abandoned by its lessees for a modernized site at another point on the island.
Thus two famous radio stations pass into the limbo of first ex- periments in the great art.
Sayville will be remembered for its wartime use after the navy had seized it from its German operators.
Poldhu's historic significance is firmly fixed, for it was from that point that the letter "S" was wirelessed to a yputh named GuGLIELMO MARCONI, who had established himself on a hilltop near St. John's, Newfoundland, to try to receive the signal on an aerial wire attached to a balloon.
The signal was received by MARcoNt. POLUItu became the permanent trans -Atlantic station for communicating with Cape Cod, Mass., and Cape Breton. Nova Scotia. Lately it has been used as an experimental station.
Mountain Tops From the Radio
Radio this Fall, over the NBC networks at least, will include second -hand views from the tops of some of the world's most fam- ous mountains.
Early in the Fall, engineers and announcers will make the descent into the fiery crater of Mount Vesuvius in Italy to send a de- scription and first -hand noises of the awesome scene for the first time in history.
In contrast to this sinister set- ting, the serene beauty of Alpine valleys and peaks seen from the summit of the Jungfrau will be brought to radio audiences from Switzerland. The broadcast will be heard some time in September.
The launching of the world's largest ship, the giant Cunard Line steamship, "534," and its christening by Queen MARY, will be broadcast over the NBC net- works on September 26.

Present `Wars For the Generals Only
The extensive war maneuvers of the command post exercises of the War department from Sep- tember 3 to 8 will be broadcast over the NBC from the Raritan Arsenal headquarters.
The maneuvers will make the dream of every doughboy come true, for not a single soldier will be employed in them and all the fighting will be done by generals.
The war game series will open with a preliminary program on Thursday, August 30, at 10a15 P. M. over the NBC -WJZ, net- work.

Peanuts, Popcorn And Music LEADING a circus band, such
as I conduct for the Circus program broadcast over a Columbia network on Monday evenings from 6.45 to 7.15, requires
mployed by most musical Our music is primarily
Bv Frank Novak
a different technique from that e directors heard over the radio. atmospheric. Unlike the back- ground music on other dra- matic programs, which serves as a transition from one mood to another, our circus band must simulate the sounds of animals and performers under the Big Top, in addition to creating the general feeling of the sawdust ring. The crack- ing of whips, the roar of lions, the whistle of peanut ven- dors -all these sounds are created by the 10 instrumen- talists and myself. .
Besides the customary cir- cus tunes - "Circus Days," "The Camels Are Coming" and "The Slide Trombone," which we feature during the program I occasionally intro- duce an original composition of my own, written especially for this show. One of these we played recently was "The Triumphant Clown," which I
dedicated to genial "Uncle" Bob Sherwood.
In order to derive the mu- sical picture of the show, I
first familiarize myself with the script. Imagination takes me to the locale of the act, and then melodies and effects appropriate to the setting come to me. The rhythm first moulds itself; then the melody..
I am quite aware that the Twentieth Century has been called the age of specializa- tion. But to my mind it could just as suitably be termed "The Era of Versatility." The late William Woodin, Secretary of the Treasury, also was a composer.
Bobby Jones, besides being a celebrated golfer, is a suc- cessful lawyer.
Now I believe the time has come for a radio orchestra to prepare itself so that it can play equally well all types of music. A musical director should display the same ver-
satile quality observed in other present -day personages.
Lately, I've been training an en- semble of 21 men, which will be capable of al-
changes as a chameleon. It can be trans - an 18 -piece military band to a 12 -piece
string ensemble for rendering semi -classical numbers, such as "To a Wild Rose." Pianists, saxophonists and string play- ers get into formation when dance tunes are required, and when rearranged, the group assumes the character of an Hawaiian outfit. Then there is the Hill Billy combination of guitar, fiddles, Jew's harp, mouth harp, musical saw, bass viol and occarina. For special features there's a two -piano team, xylophone trio and my own accordion solo. All from the sane 18 men.
Ever since I was a child old enough to visit my father's music store, every instrument has fascinated nie. I finally learned to play them all, al- though I seldom have time to use more than a few.
I started by studying piano, violin, organ, 'cello, saxo- phone and clarinet. I used to practice about two hours a day, and as proficiency de- veloped I devoted my spare time to the theoretical study of other instruments and later attempted to master them me- chanically and technically.
As a result, I have a work- ing knowledge of the piano - accordion, celeste, concertina, trumpet, trombone, eupho- nium, mellophone, tuba, viola, bass viol, ukulele, drums, saxophones, clarinets, oboe, English horn, sarrusaphone,
xylophone, bells, organ chimes, vibraphones, tympani. and novelty instruments such as the occarina, mouth harp, flageolet, jaw harp and songophone.
This familiarity with a variety of instruments makes it possible for me to attain the greatest effectiveness from each. I've been told that our group of ten men on the Circus show sometimes achieves the same quality and volume as a 30 -piece band.
