the bill for the current week, were

tinctly agreeable effect on yester-
days audiences and distracted their
attention from the outside heat and
centered IL in the GOODNESS Of the
theater and the excellence of a no.
table program.
sonny" Is a photodrama that be-
longs in the same category as Toll
able David" by reason Of Its con-
struction and enactment, Its humor,
its dramatic strength and its psthos.
The story Is that OF George V. Ho-
bart's stage success from which the
picture was adapted and concerns
the attempt on the part of Charles
Crosby's double, to take "Sonny's"
place IN the home. where he Is
sorely needed by the. little blind
mother who waits for his return
from the war. not knowing that he
has. perished in mo Mans Land"
The narrative gains strength from,
the authors wise disclosure Of the
fact that the mother is not at any
time deceived by the substitution of
another for her darling boy. :.
Richard Barthelmess hiss never
done anything finer than his dual i'm
personation in this picture. As
Charles Crosby. he Is the youth Of
refinement and wealth; as Joe
Marden. former poolroom owner who
undertakes tn subterfuge. he rs an
other skillfully and clearly diner
entiated type in striking contrast to
the first. Margaret Seddcn Is equally
facile In the role OF the mother.

WITH viii Send
On 100 Watt Power
Local Broadcasting Station In.
stalls New Set for Weekly
Concert.

wJh, local rrm Of wnite and
Boyer. will have in readiness for
their weekly concert next Tuesday
new transmitting apparatus calling
for 100 watts power and nearly
IN amperes radiation current.
Tests have already been made
which Justify the belief that this
set will be capable OF much greater
distance without sacrificing good
modulation which was character
istic OF the former 15-watt set. In
addition to the installation of new
transmitting apparatus. three rooms
are being ntted for the accommo-
dation of. musicians and speakers
who will appear for the programs.
One room is especially designed for
proper acoustic effects necessary
for voice OF instrumental trans
mission. These rooms will be In
readiness the latter part of next
week. The program arranged for
Tuesday night Is described as the
best to date, consisting of classical
selections only.
The transmitting receiving set
now being installed comprises q
compact panel control set. employ
ing two 50-watt transmitting tubes.
While the set is capable of full az
amperes radiation It Is planned not
to use full power unless good
modulation is likewise effected.
The object OF such Transmission is
distinct and readable music rather
than loud music. which does not
do Justice to individual artists.
The range of. the new transmitter
has not been definitely determined:
fair judgment cannot be made
during the present hot weather.
An idea of its possibilities may be
gained, however. from the fact that
VIII on two occasions last winter
was heard In flttsDurgh ana In
dianapolis, respectively. This was
when the present 15-watt set was
In operation. The aerial arrange
ment now consists of a four-wire
T type antenna: lead-in taken from
center directly to the set below.
lnfs Is an ideal ARRANGEMENT FOR
transmitting set. Elimination OF
generator noises will be avoided by
placing the generator some distance
from the set and by absorption
| through an elaborate noise filter
| system.
Following the recent practice OF
White and Boyer in arranging high
grade programs under the direction
of Mr.. Hoffman, the program mex,
Tuesday will comprise classical
numbers only.
