Now for the less important part of
the interview, as it turned out. This
is what "Roxie" has to say OF the
peril to the theater.
Bunk 1t will never hurt the thea
ter. 1t can never replace the pull of
the actors personality as expressed
in the combination of his voice, his
movements, his facial expression and
the play of all these things between
characters. Radio satisfies the human
demand for entertainment to GER
tain extent, but IL also creates de-
man for sight of the persons heard.
More on this later.
OF the present tangIe of nearly 600
stations, he had this to say:
"Superpower, a limited number of
stations, is the ultimate solution"
But solving the puzzle that battles
