ROInping Around
the
Radio Dial
By Listener-In.

The curtain that was lifted TOT
moment Thursday night to reveal
our broadcasters in the flesh was
back in place again last night,
pegged down securely to the stage.
The pieces Of our radio. scattered
along the courtyard where we had
kicked them after the Radio Revue,
were reassembled. the dials and the
tubes oiled.
Radio was radio once more. a
little of its mystery gone, its charm
increased.
;. The first Radio Revue has slipped
back into history. According to n
small boy in the back row and an
elderly woman in the fourth row
OF the Auditorium, it was a success.
The other 1000 votes are yet to
be counted
But we can believe, at least, that
many of the voices of the air have
taken on more significance from
having been seen and heard at the
microphone end of broadcasting in
stead Of forever being only heard
as they ernanate from the loud
speakers or headphones.
1t would be difficult to single
out any one bit of the Revue for
Especial mention.
Yet to one who has been fortu.
nate enough to have watched con.
siderable broadcasting in the past.
there was one number that took on
a new meaning through its appear
ance on the Revue program.
We mean the Irving Boernstein
String Quartet.
Boernstein himself Is seldom in
the limelight on the air. He has
given that position to Moe Baer.
to Pete Macias, Jack Goidens and
Joe Bombrest
But Thursday night, Boernstein,
shy, retiring man. forced up
stage by the directors of the revue,
became an inspired musician and
his quartet OF strings a thing Of
remarkable beauty.
Boernstein has been only name
to hsteners-in. we believe he I'd
much more than that now to the
1000 who attended the performance
Thursday night.
From our position back behind
-
was a fascination in the cooperation
offered by all the performers in the
revue. They were all artists, keenIy
interested in broadcasting, though
many have achieved considerable
recognition on the concert stage
and in the choir loft, and willing to
spend every effort to please their
usually invisible audience, for once
to be seen seated eur beyond the
microphone.
We are particularly glad that the
broadcasters could step out from
the solitude OF the broadcasting
studio and be seen at least once
ing a chance on the end Of the
world. scheduled by some few per-
sons for, midnight tonight.
The same goes for the In-Com-Co
Band. which made its WRC debut
last night. just twenty-fOur hours
ahead Of the expected millennium.
The Shoreham Hotel Orchestra,
with Jack Nesbit as soloist. also
. was able to get in some good work
and a beautiful concert before the
close of the earthly show. And
when we say beautiful. we mean 1t.
The Dixie Stars which are prov
ing one of the greatest drawing
cards on Washington programs this
week, did not seem to be bothered
in the least over the impending
event. Unless it was with this end
in view that the Memphis Mama
was warning her Birmingham
papa.
And that's all, until, if and when.
we are able to meet again in print

The betting f1uctuated with Shea
well on the short end until the day
before the fight, when Rosenberg
asked for more time to prepare Tor
the bout A week was granted him
and bettors began to ask for evens
on Shea with no takers.
Before the fight the writer men
toned that whisperings were going
around that the fight was in the bag
for Rosenberg. Well, Rosey won by
a kayo, but if Shea took dive he
made it look so realistic that one but
wonders where he has been hiding
all these years while others have
been getting away with such stuff.
Defeat Is Explained.
If reports from Shea's camp are to
be believed then certain wise persons
pulled a new one for the books. 1t
should be remembered that the fight
ers weighed in on the day of the fight
and the bouts were held over until
the following day because - rainy
weather. Commissioner Muldoof. 90
tilted the fighters they would not
have to weigh in again the following
day.
Now Shea was supposed TO have
had a hard time making the weight,
I'm
peIled to hold himself at the bantam
poundage after a weeks delay did not
tend to help his condition.
After office hours, according to the
warns of Sheas friends, his phone was
kept ringing by alleged officials Of
the boxing commission warning Shea
that he would have to weigh in on the
morrow.
This served, it is said. to keep Shea
in a whirl Of doubt and nervousness,
as he had no means of finding out the
truth of the reports, it being, as said,
/ after office hours that the calls came
in.
, SO. it is stated, he refrained from
/ eating and drinking and went into the
/ ring pra actically out on his feet. If
such is the case, the palm goes to the
| slicker who thought up the idea; also
! a new wrinkle was added TO the many
! in the fight game.
Should the reader care to know how
/ sweet charity benefited by the boxing
| show, the figures are given. The paid
