Plate Variometer Affords Fine Tuning

Director, Radio Institute of America
Another way of increasing the tuning
capacity of the receiving set is by get
ting the full benefit of the variometer.
The express purpose Of this variometer
in the regenerate set is to feed Lack
energy into the grid circuit of the vac
uum tube which greatly increases in
coming signal strength. By thus am
plifying the original grid oscillations
more variation of plate current win re-
suit.
BY this feeding back process the incon-
ing signals are greatly increased in vol
ume If the user of the regenerative set
Is patient, he can learn to use this vario-
meter so that he gets the greatest pos
sible seectivity.
The best results are obtained when the
circuit Is oscillating.
This may be determined by the sound
in the head phone which is similar to a
kissing sound.
BY the use of this set. signals from
damped or spark stations will be dis
torted but readable Instead of comm L
in with a high pitched note the signals
will sound mushy. Undamped or con-
tinuous waves (either telegraph or tele-
phone) will come in their natural tone
A bowling noise may be heard, This
indicates that you have too much varia-
tion of the plate varometer, or too mu h

erous smile that reveals good teeth and
one gold crown, which twinkles and gives
his smile a touch of tmpishness and
whimsicality. But his eyes, as Is usual
ly the case, are the features that make
his countenance what 1t is. They are
blue or gray blue; they sparkle behind
spectacles, but they change SO rapidly
in their automatic adjustment to his
thought and feelings that sometimes
their smile is gone before his lips have
quite smiling. If you find eyes like that,
don't pick fight with their owner, nor
try to swindle him, nor hope to put any
thing over on him, nor attempt to fatter
or cajole or menace or palayer or force
him to do something he doesn't want to
do.
"Perhaps the characteristic of Laemmle
that wars most against any realization
that he is a rich and powerful and fight
ing business man Is taht something about
him which is vaguely pathetic He does
not seem one who would ask any favors
In friendship or quarter In battle, but he
does seem a tri1e lonely. Perhaps all
rich and powerful business men are, and
perhaps this impression one receives is
heightened by his size and his ready
friendliness. But a sensitive persons
would be unable I think, to avoid the
feeling that Carl Laemmle, giving as
much as he does to his own world, re-
ceives less-of the things he desires.
"There Is, of course, a proximate rea-

Juliet's balcony. "Juliet, thou hast a

.Directress' Garden

Turns to Successor

CHICAGO. April 24-With the stormy
career Of Mary Garden as director of the
Chicago Opera Company at an eni
through resignation, speculation turned
today to who her successor will be. An
nouncement as to the new head of the
company was keenly awaited.
Miss Garden, in a formal statement,
announced her retirement as director OF
the company, but intimated her intention
Of remaining as q singer. The announce
ment said she had declined to accept re-
election as head OF the company.
The belief was current here that Gi

company, would succeed Miss Garden as

know him best say that that loss was a
very real and very poignant tragedy for
him, which has to do with his life story.
THAT story Is typically American.
In 1906 Carl Laemmle was the man
ager Of a clothing store In Oshkosh, Wis.
He had held that position for eleven
years. and his total savings amounted 10
s., 800 He and his wife had reached the
conclusion that their future was to be
drudging mediocrity unless he had some
change.
"On February 16 of that year he re-
signed and began preparations to move to
Chicago, taking his wife, bis simple
household goods and the prime reason
for the venture a girl OF or 4 He paid
his bills in Oshkosh, bought railroal
tickets and landed in Chicago with
$1,000.
His survey Of that field led him, de

the purchase Of the equipment for what
be calls store show'--a small narrow
building for the showing Of motion pic

frst 'nickelodeums' In America-whlch
means in the world.
"As many others demonstrated in those
early years the novelty was instantly
popular and successful Laemmle had

work, and he had a shrewd head and a

The story concerns the murder of

OUR MARY is BACK
IN A MIGHTY FINE PICTURE.


When Mary Pickford's Little Lord
Fauntleroy" movie was reviewed IN this
department we found much to enjoy and
praise We liked this picture because 1t
reflected on the screen one of the best
stories for children ever written and
the movie version is nearly as entertain
ing as the printed story.
We welcomed Little Lord Fauptleroy'
on the screen because It gave Miss Pick
ford an opportunity to play two roles
and also because Claude Gillingwater,
remembered for his polished work on the
stage Three Wise Fools" proves that a
legitimate actor can carry his artistry
from the spoken stage to the screen with
out dana ging 1t.
1t Is not necessary to repeat the story,
but only to state again that Mary Pick
ford in Little Lord Fauntleroy" has
given the screen a picture worthy to lie
supported by every one who longs for the
right sort Of screen entertainment.
