Bennington has staged some excel

years, but this bids fair TO outshine
them all. The comedy that has been
chosen Is "Billeted" and the cast is
to include both Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Elliot, and they are also to do the
coaching.
Everybody in Bennington is proud
OF Miss O'Brien and appreciates the
success that has come to her. Ben

RADIO CRAZE SEEMS
TO HAVE HIT LIMIT
Publishers Find Poor Market for Books
Describing Technical Appara-
tus Now on Market.

New York, July 1.-THE radio craze
ia declining, according to several New
York publishers, who find 1t difficult
to sell many technical books on
amateur radio apparatus which are
now on the market.
The demand for radio books recent
ly has been very poor, according TO
Harold williams, OF the book depart
ment OF the American News company,
who said that the publishers were
beginning to think that the radio
craze was about over. There Is prac-
ticalIy no demand for the radio books
at all at present. Mr.. Williams said.
this may be partly due to the hot
weather, and a slight revival of the
demand may occur In the autumn, he
said. but at present the demand seems
TO be gone.
There are several series OF juvenile
books dealing with radio which are
still selling, MIR. Williams said, but
radio has as yet scarcely penetrated
into adult fiction, and publishers do
not expect to see 1t dealt with largely
III tne futuTe.
Similar views on radio were ex-
pressed by Henry RaIstoni circulation
manager OF Street and Smith. publish.
efs, f79 Seventh avenue:
f"I believe the popular craze for ra.
dlo Is a big bubble which VIII burst, "
said Mr.. Ralston. There's not any
thing that people can get over the ra-
dio that they cannot get from a graph
ophone except the thrill of thinking
that the sound is coming to them thru
the air. AS soon as they get used to
that fdea the thing will fall through.
"At the same time the practical
uses OF radio will undoubtedly in
crease immensely. There was time
when there was bicycle craze in the
big cities, and you could scarcely
turn a corner without being run down
by a bicycle. People had bicycle
clubs and bicycle magazines, and went
crazy over II just as they have over
radio. But the craze died There are
twice as many bicycles in use in the
country now ais there were In those
days, but you can't get up any'enthus
iasm over them | think the radio
craze will work itself out in the same
way and Ithink II has already begun
to wane
