Wireless Telephone
Carries Grand Opera
To Evening Firesides

Chicago, Dec. 1-On long winter
nights when the family gathers round
the fireplace in some isolated, snow
bound farmhouse the members need
not lack entertainment, for the air IS
full of music, short stories and gos-
sip, free to everyone prepared to re-
ceive it.
Thousands of amateur wireless
operators, experts say, are listening
nightly to grand opera, bedtime
stories, phonograph and band con-
certs, crop and weather reports and
aerial gossip. Any wireless tele-
graph set can, without additional
equipment, pick up the radiophone
messages and concerts.
With the Inauguration OF wireless
grand opera by Mary Garden, direct
or-general of the Chicago Opera
Company, three hours entertainment
is furnished five nights a week,
Telephone transmitters over the
stage at the Auditorium Theatre pick
up the opera and transmit it over
ordinary land wires to wireless sta
ton on the roof of a skyscraper sew
eral blocks away, and from there is
sent out broadcast to any one with
the proper equipment to receive 1t.
The company operating the station
maintains three other broadcasting
plants. one at Pittsburgh. Pa, one at
Newark, N. j.. and one at Springfield.
Mass. The program Of the Pitts
burgh plant is typical of the others.
Early in the evening a bedtime
story is read by the sending operator.
The stories generally consume about
Is minutes time. Next the weather
and crop reports are announced, fol-
lowed by a phonograph or band con-
cert. This is the weekday schedule.
On Sunday nights specially pre-
pared church sermon is sent.
AS all the stations operate on diff
ferent lengths. the amateur receivers
can listen to all, one after another. by
turning a small dial on their receiv-
ing sets.
The Chicago Opera service is the
most ambitious program of all. At
7.S0 o'clock, as the audience begins
gathering at the Auditorium, the in
struments are tested with a phono-
graph concert. A few minutes before
s o'clock the sender" announces the
opera for the evening. the principal
singers. the conductor. and then gives
"a brief synopsis Of the first act. ex-
planning the stage effects and scenery.
At the end of each act a similar
synopsis of the next scene is trans
mtted.
In the first test, when Samson and
Delilah was sung. amateur stations
have not only heard the orchestra
and singers. but the clanking Of the
chains as Lucien Muratore. as Sam
son, paced his prison cell. and the
storms of applause that marked each
curtain call. The sounds were so
clear that amplifying devices were
unnecessary. ordinary receivers living
on the table at the receiving points
spreading the music throughout the
room.
