$700000 for remodeling the old eight story Juilliard school building across East 52nd street from its headquarters 485 Madison avenue New York City into a mod em studio and experimental labora tory annex The annex is expected to be fin ished about May 15 and will afford needed extra broadcasting space convenient to the CBS main build ing Using only the skeleton of the old structure this annex will house seven studios in which will be em bodied every technical advance and also a revolutionary innovation for improvement in quality of sound definition Heavy Glass Doors The 30 year old Manhattan land mark formerly with row on row of windows will present a strikingly changed facade for it is to be win dowless up to the sixth floor The lower part will be of matt glazed terra cotta in grey and blue shades The entrance will be in stainless steel with doors of heavy sheets of non shatterable glass like those of the Madison avenue headquarters Besides being constructed with no parallel opposite surfaces the ceil ings having a saw tooth design the two larger studios will be equipped with panels or acousti vanes set up about two feet from the actual walls for the purpose of obtaining variable acoustics Most of the panels are about 14 feet high and 27 inches wide They are patterned on the funda mental principles of a violin with hard resonant wood on one side and soft porous wood on the reverse They have something of the appear ance of airplane wings the five inch thickness at the center de creasing to the edges They can be turned singly either wholly or partly from a central control ac cording to the wish of producer or orchestra conductor The acoustivanes are the result of a series of experiments searching for means to facilitate governing of a variety of shadings of sound quality It is predicted that they will prove exceptionally beneficial for large orchestra programs as well as important dramatic productions CBS construction engineers declare tj ie acoustivanes will make pos sible an unusually mellow definition of sound so that massed musical in struments will bring over the air precisely the same impression a vis itor would receive in the actual con cert hall New Achievement Another significant new achieve ment connected with all the annex studios is a streamlined control desk experts describe as a welcome departure from the former method of having amplifiers and va rious types of control equipment on racks Within 'this desk or console are mounted all essentials for the com plex control of programs originating in the studio Developing the design of this console involved more than a study weeks bfiing spent merely in determining the most suitable placement for individual controls The desk is constructed so that all parts are easily accessible should anything get out of order Before 49 East 52nd street was oc cupied by the Juilliard oundation and School of Music it served for a year or so as an apartment dwell ing It

musical effect to give the nations radio listeners the of Ellery's mystery plots the of the cul prit at his work of crime in the creepy stillness of midnight In fact George Zachary pro ducer of the Ellery Queen programs depends on Lyn Murray and his music to be an outstanding factor in all the mystery adventures and he gives the young CBS conductor credit for much of the success of the eight month old series said Zaehary of Murphy all new to him" irst Attempt It seems that this is Murray's first attempt at synchronizing' drama and music This means finding a theme or melody aptly typifying the major element of tjie sometimes a job for a real' detec tive Then throughout the produc tion variations of the selected mel ody are used each in the mood of the scene To find the individual musical motif of a mystery Murray studies an Ellery Queen script for hours To complement Adventure of the Woman in a ghost story the melodic theme had to be eerie fantastic or the Let adventure the theme had to suggest mischief yet forecast omi nous results One of achievements is the matching of music to sound According to Zachary Murra yhas so completely mastered musical cues the art of
