Another idea being worked out is the greater use of gestures by singers and others when they go before the television camera. Changes of expression and movement of the arms and head in keep-tag with the rhythm of the song considerably enhance the enter-, tainment value. For dramatic presentations, only single scenes are used, an attempt being made to increase the effect with scenery. As many as four persons can be accommodated before the camera at one time by a shift of lens which in creases the size of the scanned area.

Schudt reports that he is having no difficulty in finding sufficient talent for his pictures. He says that artists of all descriptions are anxious to go on without compensation in the hope that they can get in on the ground floor. As to, the number of television receivers in use in the area covered by W2XAB, the estimate is made that it is around 9,000, with this figure increasing constantly. Thruout the country the picture sets are placed at fairly close to 40,000, a formidable number considering that television transmission is confined to few areas. NBC Will Trans-Atlantic Description of -Speed Flights in England.

A British description of the Schneider cup races, the world's greatest airplane speed contest, in which men travel six miles a minute or faster, will be rebroadcast by NBC Saturday, morning, Sept. 12. The race will be flown on the same triangular course over the Solent river and Spithead where Flying Officer H. R. D.

Waghorn in a British seaplane set a world's speed reoprd of 329 miles per hour in 1929. International entries will include Italy, France and Great Britain, with the United States in the role of interested spectator. The fastest machines man has ever constructed for his own transportation will race seven times around the fifty kilometer course for a distance of 350 kilometers, or 217.47 miles. Two British commentators. Squadron Leader Helmore and Flight Lieutenant Schofleld of the royal navy will be stationed at advantageous points to describe the passage of the planes.

Microphones will be so placed as to pick up the roar of the motors and the cries of the judges. The. broadcast will begin at 5 a. m. and continue intermittently until approximately 8:30 a.

m. Listeners will hear a description of early preparations, the trial flights and finally the actual contest as the entrants strive to establish a record of 400 miles an hour' or The Schneider 'tup' race of 1929 marked an epoch in international broadcasting. It was the most successful of three international rebroadcasts made by NBC up to that time. Studio Testi Are Being Made to Constantly Better Sight NEW YORKt. In the studio they're learning quite a few things about television production.

The object of all the "research" now going on ii to find out just how extensively the stage can be called upon to furnish the embellishment that radio pictures will require lor presentation. As a starter, television producers merely placed a plain white screen behind the entertainer. Now they have found that much better results can be obtained, particularly with blondes, if the screen is dark. That means each type of beauty requires a somewhat differently colored screen. For full length shots, such as dancers, a screen made of metallic cloth helps considerably in improving reproduction.

These are a few of the things that William Schudt, television program director of W2XAB, the CBS picture station, has learned by trial on the air. Going a little bit further, he is beginning the use of scenery so that the entertainer will have more than a plain background. Side drops are part of this setup, giving the viewer the impression of looking upon a stage. Regular scenery from the theater Is. being cut down to fit within the limited area of the scanning beam, the colors elected are those that- nroduce well bv radio.

For sight announcements, that Already television has been kind to Harriet Lee, blond radio con-tralto of WABC-CBS. Miss Lee, ho made her start on the aia at Chicago, has been given a regular place on the picture programs of W2XAB, New York. maw JIT it r-ri miwiqir Altbo she is best known as a dancer, Ann Pennington, diminutive musical comedy star, will reveal her little known voice to radio-listeners during the broadcasting of Vitality Personalities over the ABC-Columbia network on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 10 p. The program will mark her debut as a singer over the air.

Colonel Lindbergh has lent stimulus to aeronautical radio. His advice to the young man looking to aviation as a career is "to take the radio side of it That is the coming thing." His statement is analyzed by Paul Goldsborough, officer of a communication company representing the major air transport operators. "Radio's importance and its comparative newness in aviation, with opportunity for expansion and development," he says, "make it a lively field. "It is important because radio offers the only possible means of continuous contact with a airplane in flight Contact is an obvious necessity, since a pilot may get a perfect check on weather before he takes off but conditions are constantly changing. Need Specialized Man.

"Radio gives a "means of getting these changes to him; more than that the two-way private system allows us to know that he gets the changes. "To handle the ground work, aeronautical radio must make use of operators who have aviation knowledge. Any radioman will not do. "There are eighty-nine aeronautical stations established over the nation, forming the backbone of a trunk commercial aviation radio system. For these, avtatlon-wise personnel are "The private trunk system has grown in the last two years, for it was not until the spring of 1929 that commercial aviation may be saia to nave become 'radio It uses skilled men and augments the governmental system of radio which- includes weather and beacon-course broadcasts.

electrical rather than radio devices but 'co-operating with radio, are also needed. These would keep a plane on even keel in blind flying without wearing out the human pilot." AMATEUR GOLF MEET WILL BE OVER NBC Tentative time for the broad casts from the national amateur golf championship at Beverly golf club in Chicago have been scheduled by the National Broadcasting company," it has been announced. Under the present arrangement O. B. Keeler, sports writer and NBC golf commentator, will go on the air at 4:30 p.

on the open ing days of the tournament to discuss and analyze the play of the day. On Aug. 31, Sept. 1, 2, 3, and 4, at the same time Keeler will be heard over an NBC-WJZ network giving the expert's version of the high spots in the play of the day. On Saturday, Sept.

5, present arrangements call for broadcasting-two half hour periods during the day of the championship round. It is planned to give to the Lsport lovers of the nation a stroke by stroke account of the final three holes of the afternoon round and if possible the presentation of the cup. Because of the uncertainty of just when the players will reach that stage of the game it will be difficult to schedule an exact time for the broadcast of the final day of play. AKRON'S FIRST HOP WILL BE ON CHAINS The launching and flight of the navys super dirigible, Akron, from her Ohio hangar will be de scribed by NBC announcers from the ground and the air as she rides out for the first time. The exact date of the Akron's trial flight has not been set but to be the "man-in-search-of-rest-and-relaxation" and became the a n-ln-search of outstanding-radio-entertainment" An inquiry or two and Mr.

Paley found that the singer was Bing Crosby, Radiograms were dispatched to New York and information concerning the baritone sent to Mr. Paley in Europe. Meanwhile Crosby was working busily in Caliofrnia. He and his orchestra were in demand at clubs, recording sttudios and the movie lota where "shots" are made. His popularity, local at first, spread in a number of ways and, soon the magazine and synidcate writers In Los Angeles were informing other parts of the continent that here was a singer with an unusual quality of voice and unusual manner of delivery.

Reports were current that radio and theatrical impresarios were vying in submission of contracts to the young baritone. Back from Europe and in his offices at Columbia, Paley arranged with a motion picture company to preview a series of reels Just completed by Crosby. A few minutes later a Columbia representative in Caliofrnia received certain definite instructions, and the day Crosby started east. The S. He got the Job" sequel was quickly aramged.

Crosby's program schedule over the Columbia network will announced within a few days. CRAWFORD MAKES HIS RADIO DEBUT SUNDAY Jesse Crawford, in his premier as a National Broadcasting company artist on Sunday, Sept 13, will present classical, operatic, symphonic and sacred musical favorites of the past. The famous organist will be heard over a coast to coast NBC-WEAF network from 9:30 to 10 p. m. He will play on succeeding Sundays at the same hour.

one went to warn John Charles. When his concert was finished, Mr. Thomas escaped down a back elevator and reached the side street As he climbed into a waiting taxi, however, he became worried and asked a boy to run back inside and find out who the un known caller might really be. The boy brought back this message: He says his name a Fred Koy- croft He gave you your first opportunity on the stage in New York. He says be has a sheet or music that you.

asked him for." You Just never can tell. Love Your Work. "How you must love your work! You -meet such interstlng people and Say something like that to a newspaperman and he'll want to grind you thru' the presses with the next edition. We hear it a lot In radio, too. But here's a case where it really fits, the case of BUI Crawford, veteran journalist whose Saturday night reminisc ences cct a reporter over station WOR touch intimately on the great and near great of many landu.

I'll pass on to you one incident he told a few of us the other night. Years, ago he was -ordered to London by his newspaper to interview the archbishop of Canterbury concerning the Anglican desertions and then to Rome to obtain similar information from the Vatican. During his research in Rome, he was referred to Dr. Archille Katti, curator of the Ambrosian library at Milan. "In no time at all," Crawford says, "Dr.

Rattl had secured me more Information than I had thought had existed." "Beaming thru his steel spectacles," Crawford went on, "Dr. Ratti inquired If he might not interrupt my labors and he smiled at my mountain of notes long enough to take lunch with him. To gether we walked and talked as he guided me to the poorer quarters of Milan, where we entered a restaurant mostly patronized by draymen and laborers. "It suddenly dawned on me that this renowned bookman and scholar, while possessed of colossal learning, had little else. But during the meal the humble surroundings, the uncovered table everything in fact had vanished before the magic of the man's person' ality.

"In 1922 I was again ordered to Rome, this time to cover the coronation of Pope Pius XI. There in the white robes of his exalted office sat my host of long, ago, the brilliant curator of the Ambrosian library, graciously glad to receive his old friend, the American cor respondent." Plays Important Part. A Mexican fortune teller once told Ed Thorgersen, the announcer, that water would play an impor tant part in his life. It did! Probably the first and only time ten seas, it was SM who sounded them. bells were sounded on thb his He was on deck as a member of the crew of a United Fruit boat off the coast of Florida, when the famous hurricane of 1927 struck the ship.

Ed admits he had an impulse to run below decks, but he stuck to his post and sounded the ship's bell frantically. Sailors who never learned to count past the neces sary eight, still disagree about the number of bells they heard sounded mat nignt. Some of the crew were sound asleep in the fo'castle. Others were at their posts, but everyone who was foot loose came running at Thorgersen's alarm clock. Finally, the captain stuck his head out pilot house window and BhouteA -something about "lookouts who diqn't know enough to come in out ot a storm.

Thorgersen got the general Idea and fought his way to the nearest cabin. No hands were lost, but Eddie still Insists that most of the Atlantic ocean was standing up on end, trying to fulfill the fortune teller's promise. He still feels funny about water, even if it's just an assignment to cover a regatta SUNDAY, SEPT. 6. Ireae feortocd, not artist; Mew A boat Toww trtoi orchestra dl- rretkw Dave Rublmff, WOC.

In his initial programs Crosby plans to feature nightly one number that he has sung in a series of recordings that have achieved best-sellerdom thruout the nation. Bing1 Crosby, baritone whose recording nave become best sellers thruout the country, has been signed by the Columbia Broadcasting system and soon will be heard regularly over its coast-to-coast network. Back of the signing of Crosby is an unusual -story which should begin with the sailing last June of William S. Paley, president of Columbia, for Europe. It is ironic that Mr.

Paley should have planned a trip abroad in part to seek out new foreign talent and should have had that voyage lead to" bis discovery of the radio possibilities of a native-born American. The third day out of port found Mr. Paley occupying a comfoable deck chair on the S. S. Europa.

A fellow-passenger in a nearby-stateroom turned on a phonograph playing the record, "I Surrender, once MrvPaley ceased the National Broadcasting' company has completed arrangements for a.natlonwide description of.th event from both land and plane.

Dirks, station manager, things are going to be humming so fast in the studios there will not be time for anything to happen, and so this department is rather restricted. There it a welcome bit of news which has leaked out, however, and that is the return of Mid-Morning Melodies, the organ broadcast from the Lincoln theater, and then Harold Hollingsworth, Harold Turner, and saving the best for last, Harriet Cruise Kemmer, will be heard again soon. You can even forget the depression, and that unpaid ice bill, when this trio of entertainers goes into a huddle before the microphone. It has been the privilege of this column to report the details of the romances of several of the staff of KFAB with the exception of Al Poska, but that young gentlemen firmly refuses to be intrigued by any girl. He has been urged to become enamoured as he is spoiling several of good copy, but he claims that romance is just a dash pf Jn a good chocolate drop, that is, an otherwise good chocolate drop, and refuses to become ensnared' However, if you hear a sizeable thump some of these days, you will know that Al has weakened.

You hear lots of stories the mike fright of famous concert and opera stars, and others of the very typs who should be most accustomed to public performance. But Jaacha Heifets, the great vio-- linist, completely forgot the microphone when he made his radio debut! It was pretty to watch him, completely absorbed in the music and utterly oblivious not only to the mike, but also to the chosen few who witnessed the performance in the studio.

Among the special guests was Helfet. if, JTorence Vidor, the motion, picture star. She was specially delighted afterward, when he compared playing before a micro-phons to acting; In front of a camera, "I forgot the microphone ha said, and I'm glad that I did. You cant act well before a movie camera If you're obsessed with thoughts of the and that holds Just as true for niavine tna vionn Derora a micro phone- But he did admit that a radio debut is mora severs than a New concert premiere. "There are many factors that cause he explained, "and not the least of them is the tremendous size of the unseen audience you're playing for.) think I didn't feel was a momentous occasion." For the most part Heifetz stood about five feet away from the mike, and twisted his body as he played.

Sometimes he swayed completely around, so, that "his back was turned to the delicate Meanwhile, the corridors outside the studio and every reception room at NBC headquarters, where the' music could be heard, were packed with many of the same concert goers who nave thrilled to his many concerts in Carnegie hall. They 11 be proud to know that he wasn't frightened. Thomas Makes Getaway. John Charles Thomas, the latest concert star to go in for radio, almost made a bad mistake during one of his recent appearances at the New York studios. It wasn a musical error; in fact, it had noth ing to do with the program he broadcast that night It was just one of those things that might have left him in a deuced embarrassing position.

Shortly after he had gone up to the studio in an elevator, a little man appeared at the reception desk downstairs and asked for Mr. Thomas. He refused to reveal the nature of his business. Studio at tendants were all for sending for the singer when suddenly a page boy recognized the visitor or thought he recognized him. He looked like the 3ame person who had come for another radio star the night before and had turned out to be a process server.

There are strict rules against ar tists transacting private busmesj in the studios, and process servers are far from welcome. So the man was detained downstairs and some- BDan)Ca You'll Enjoy Shopping it Lincoln' Busy Store Listen to the Enna JetUck PROGRAM OVER KFAB Sunday Evening 6 to 6:15 Buy Your Enna Jettick Shoes At Gold's $flaf "You Need No S.

Western Nebraska hunters may have wild game as plentiful, or nearly so, as the early settlers found in a few "years time. Wrild turkeys are being "planted" in this section of the state and are expected to pro-pogate rapidly. Bernie Wahlin believes in doing things in a big way. It is rumored that as a child he wanted to wash an but that hisimother wouldn't let him go to the circus, and so the thwarted desire finally led to Bernle's playing the bull fiddle and sousaphone. It all can be explained by psychology, but therels no need going into all of that.

During abroadcast Bernie looks like a cross between a physical culture devotee and Joscha Heifetz playing on an enlarged fiddle. "What an artist," is the usual reaction when any one watches him perform. It is his task to extract certain "Umbas" and "oompahs" from the vest pocket edition of a ukelele (consult picture.) and to aid Mr. Chambers in keeping the orchestra In rhythm. Some persons have blamed that persistent sound during a broadcast by Leo Becks orchestra to static, and devote energy that might be saved in trying to get rid of it However it was not static, it is Berlne's bull fiddle.

It is one way to forget the depression, claims Bernie, as wrestling with the object de oomphaa quite occupies one's evening. He also says the development of a person's ego Is made an easy task after a person has kben able to acquire all of the intricacies of playing the large instrument It must have been he was only fooling tho, as Bernie is a modest for the radio audience.
