NEW york.. July is. The final
talk Of the series by John v. L.
Hogan. consulting radio engineer
and past president Of the Institute
Of Radio Engineers, before WEARS
microphone. last week. concluded
with request for specific data re-
garding interference dirrIcuities ex-
perienced BY listeners.in. These
have yielded very valuable figures
regarding the problems to be met
before radios ills are entirely cured,
The sources OF greatest interior.
ence were spark telegraph signals.
which were rated as the worst
source Of interference by SO per
cent Of those complying with Mr..
Hoganss request. Whistles came
second, with 31.4 per cent and cross
talk that Is, interference from other
broadcasting stationsl 2S.6 per cent.
Radio listeners were also re.
quested to indicate their second and
third choice as to the most trouble
some sources Of interference.
Whistles were the seconc cause Of
interference on As per cent OF the
missionaries, spark on 81 per
cent and cross talk on 20 per cent.
Third choice was assigned to cross
talk by so per cent, whistles BY
22.5 per cent and spark by ITS per
cent Of those replying to the ques.
tionnaire.
The consistency OF these figures
are. quite notable, spark interfer-
ence holding first place In the first
choice, second place in the second
choice and third place In the third
choice. Steps are being taken to
reduce this source of interference to
a minimum. Although whistles
hold only second place in the first
choice, the analysis show it to be
quite preponderant as the second
worst cause Of trouble. Educational
campaigns are necessary to remove
the cause Of this source Of inter
ference.
When the first changes in wave
length were made, Cross talk was,
perhaps, the most serious difficulty
but improvements in the design OF
sets and increased experience on
the part of those operating them
has made this troubfe rank third in
both first and second choice.
Arrangements are being made
with the principal radio telegraph
companies for reducing the amount
Of traffic handled on wavelengths
which are likely to interfere with
broadcast reception. Considerable
progress has been made and trans
mitters OF coast stations located
near metropolitan centers improved.
The wavelength conference in
Washington several months ago,
placed into effect q plan OF wave
length distribution which has re-
suited in a great Improvement In

The entire broadcasting market
seems to have slumped since the
Democratic convention.
Perhaps it was too long lay
off for the hustling program ar
rangers. Or still more likely. it's
just the summer doldrums.
Slipping around the dials for the
past two nights we found nothing
to make us sit up and take notice.
There was good entertainment. but
nothing original and little excep.
ti0naI.
The station that seems to us to
have looked further ahead and
guarded best against midsiimmes
difficulties, is WIZ, New York.
Broadcast Central some r10ths
Iago booked for the summer months
the concerts to be given at tho
Central Park Mall by Goldman
concert band and at the Lewisohn
stadium by the New York Phil.
harmonic Orchestra.
These two musical organizations
are unquestion the greatest in
their respective fields which are
presenting regular programs during
the summer months.
Through its arrangement with
the Goldman Band and the Phil
harmonic, WIZ is able to offer q
program by one of the two almost
every night in the week.
Unfortunately WIZ is inaudible
In Washington except on rare occa.
sions when the local stations have
shut down.
But some day WRC will have ita
pipe line laid to New York and will
be able to rebroadcast the pick OF the
Broadcast Central programs Just as
WCAP now picks up the headlines
from WEAF.
BY the middle Of next month the
ether, which will then have recoy-
cred from the unmerciful lashing
Of the. waves Of the Democratic
convention, win be beset by an
other political storm which will
continue until after the election.
President Coolidge, It was an
nounced yesterday, will come on the
air August Ia with his speech Of
acceptance OF his party's nominal
ton for the Presidency.
His address, II is expected. will
be followed up by political broad
casts from all three Of the ma
tional parties.
But 1t Is doubtful that there viii
be any more sessions continuing
until 8 and o'clock in the morn

George r. Ross, the latest acqui.

"HUNCHBACK," film EPIC
COMING TO BLUEBIRD THEATRE

COMING III Blu ENinO 1hGA III
HOLBROOK, APRIL 1S, Ia. =,
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
is a cinemagraphic masterpiece IN
the truest sense of the word. The
sets, which include representations
of the Cathedral of Notre Dame"
the Court of Miracles, Place de
Parvis, the Palais du Justice, the
Bastile, and many streets of Paris
of the period of Louis XI, are gems
of mingled beauty, magnificence,
quaintness, and are above all genu-
inc replicas of historic city whose
greatness is thus conveyed forever
on the silver sheet-the new art of
the present, and of the future.
But aside from the production it
self, never before has such a remark
able individual performance been
given as that of Lon CLANCY in
the stellar role of Quasimodo, the de
formed bell-ringer of the Cathedral
of Notre Dame. Mr. CLANCY, known
for years as "the man of thousand
faces" outdoes himself in its vivid
impersonation. 1t would be made
quate to say that he gave splendid
performance. His "Quasimodo" is
such a real recreation of the original
that all we can say is = open a
volume of Victor Hugo's "Notre
Dame de Paris" read the minute
description of the poor hunchback
and see if you don't feel that no
one could possibly be such as this
character-then go see this produc-
ton and find "Quasimodo" come to
life. Mr.. CLANCY has realized the
character not only physically, but
psychologically. 1t is as though the
living man was before US, and not
an actor. Never did an actor more
completely merge his identity in a
role, or make his audience more fully
| lose sight of the individual.
Others in the cast are Patsy Ruth
Miller, excellent in the role OF Es-
meralda; Ernest Terrence, as Clopln,
King of the Underworld; Norman
Kerry, as dashing Capt. Phoebus;
Tully Marshall, as Louis XI; Sigel
de Brulier, as Dom Claude; Brandon
Hurst, as Jehan; Raymond Hatton,
and a score of other, lack of space
precluding mention of all. The ad-
vance notices stated there were
seventy-five noted principals and a
supporting cast of some 3091 extras,
and after you see the picture you
will agree that for once press-agents
have stuck strictly to facts.
