New Era in Polar Expeditions.

When the two ships-the Farm, a
Norwegian naval transport of about
500 tons, and the Hobby, a 1,O0O-to
oil burner-leave Tromso this week
there Will be ushered in a new era
in polar exploration The struggle
to reach the North Pole began nearly
400 years ago, when the English
launched an expedition to attain the
pinnacle of the earth.
Since that time attempts have been
made by sailing vessel, steamship,
reindeer, dog sledge, on foot and by
balloon. All these endeavors, with
the notable exception of Peary's, in
1909, failed.
Only six persons will actually maxi e
the flying attempt to gain the North
Pole--Capt. Amundsen and Mr.. Ellis
worth, each an observer in one of
the planes; Hjalmar Riiser-Iarsen
and Lief Dietrichson, Norwegian ma
val lieutenants, and two mechanics,
Oscar Omdal, a Norwegian, and Herr
Feucht, German. All other mem
bers of the expedition will remain
on the S. s. Farm.
The Danish Islands are about GOO
miles from the pole. The planes are
expected TO reach their goal in from
seven to eight hours of continuous
flight Elaborate scientific equipment
viii be carried to make the proper
observations both during the flight
and at the North Pole The airplanes
Will be assembled and trial trips
made at Kings Bay, Spitzbergen.
They will carry a reserve ration of
two pounds of food per day per man for
80 days. 1t viii consist of various
concentrated foods, with much choco-
late and matted milk tablets
No one connected with the eXpedi-
ton recognizes any possibility of
failure Each believes that the Pole
will be reached and the explorers
back at their base within two days
after the hop-off. Should one plane
become disabled the other could
carry all six men back to the base.
That is the reason why two planes
are to be used, and why each will
start out with but three passengers
in its cockpit
The airplanes were built especially
for the North Pole flight at the
Dornier plant in Pisa, Italy. They
are all-metal machines constructed
of duraluminum. Il newly Fabricated
material claimed to be as light as
aluminium and as strong as steel. The
planes eeach carry two Rolls-Royc
engines, each engine with a horse
power of $50. Their span is ~ feet
and length So feet. They are
equipped with neither wheels nor ice
runners. Their bottoms are fashioned
like sleds, enabling them to land on
either water or snow-covered ice.

Very seldom does the announcer cay that the members of the orchestra do not know the selection request cd.
 Miss Enid Lloyd rendered in satisfactory manner "old Uncle Ned" and "oh, Them Golden Slip pers," both old favorltes. Miss Lloyd sings either baritone or light so- prano. She rendered "All Alone" changing from one voice to the oth- CT several times during the presen- tation of the number.
 For real entertainment there's no station quite like WTAM on Satur- day evenings, and wore not writing any press agent stuff, either,
 Reports Of the earthquake on Sat urday evening were heard from WBz at Springfield, that being the first warning we had that there was such an occurrence. The announcer reported that the shock was felt from Maine to the middle west. Shortly after o'clock we brought In XIV, where World Crier broadcast was being given. Here a report of the quake was also given out for radio listeners-n. Jack Wheaton and his orchestra furnished dinner music from VICES on Saturday night, and great stuff it was, too. Among the numbers played were 'IHl See You in My Dreams" No Wonder" and Ala bama Bound"
 The formal opening of the new Chicago studio of WJJD, Moose heart, Illinois. is scheduled for Mon- day evening, March ., when an ex- tcnsive and elaborate program will be presented. Jack Nelson, well known as the announcer at the old Chicago station, WDAP, will be in charge of the festivities, one of the big events of that evening being a banquet, at which 100 personages prominent in civic, thcater and radio centers will be present. The new studio is located at the Palmer House, and the banquet will be held in the Victorian room, the entire proceedings being sent out onto the air.

Through The Static

Outside of tho fact that there was considerable cracking and frying in the speaker last night, conditions were good. That frying noise was outside the set, because we discon- 1ected both the aerial and ground and made sure. Apparently there are some wires around our place which need attention. Reception on saturday night was very good. Dis tant stations came in loud and clear and no difficulty was experienced in picking up far-away broadcasts.
 
 We listened to Dr. s. Parkes Cad man, speaking at the Mems Confer cnce from WEAF yesterday after noon We only tarried there for a short time, however, to find out how the station was coming through and

how much of the program we would be able 10 understand. We were really surprised with the volume with which WEAF came tn. As rulc, it is almost impossible for us 10 bring tho station within hearing distance.
 WGY and WBZ were on the air during the afternoon with their reg uar Sunday concerts, both stations coming In with considerable volume, These two arc old stand-bys for Sum day afternoons, about the only two which are regularly dependable for good reception, Were 1t not for them, radio fans would probably start tearing apart the phonograph or some other thing. Sunday after moons are certainly long when there's nothing to listen 10 on the radio.
 Last night we waded through var ious ponds between here and Hart ford and went calling. Conditions up there weren't so good. We heard portions of the program by "RoXy and Ills Gang" which came from some room upstairs, where the "lady of the house" was entertaining her guest. The Capitol theater orchestra was in exceedingly good form and presented its usual faultless pro- gram. Tho selections were new ones to us and we could not hear the an nouncements,
 Saturday night was "brite anC fair" as we have stated before WTAM at Cleveland was, as usual the best bet for that night, and w remained with that station for ove an hour. The announcer was hitting on all six and his humor had evel those hard hearted members of thu orchestra laughing loudly. Eacl telegram received was the signal fo q remark by the announcer, whicl was exceedingly funny. A telegram came in from Detroit. asking tha the orchestra play "Shimmy Lik My Sister Kate" I've don't knoy your sister," was the reply.
 The usual Goo Coo" introduction were made (still on the subject 0 Clevcland's program) with eac member Of the orchestra playing
 few notes. The personnel of the ban was, Ev Jones, piano; Louis s Clair, xylophonc; Art Shepard, sax ophone; w. Talbert, violin; Gu Pomeroy, trumpet: Red Heade Banjo Player" Ned Osborne, trom bone. The program by the orche' tra consisted largely Of request nun bers, some of them being populo songs Of 10 or 15 years ago. Tn orchestra can usually accommodat anyone who asks for a certain nun Der, whether it be popular or no

 "Remember that the shapespear- can plays themselves were offered in Eli2ahethan costumes when first produced, he said, although, the scenes were often laid centuries earlier.
 Tn the course Of my work aa regisseur l have often observed that actors made q stronger impression during rehearsals, when they were dressed in their street clothing. than they did afterward during tho per tormance. when they wore historical costumes,
 T therefore. believe that modern costumes arc aiten justified in old plays, But Of course every thing must ba done within reason. Hamlet in full dress is nonsense. Let me add, . however, that l regard tho whole question Of costumes as secondary The main thing is acting.

AMERICAN JAZZ
 SPIRIT OF ABE
This Is View Held by Max
 Reinhardt
Berlin, Dec. IS CR - America

Berlin, Dec. IS LP - America through its jazz. its rhythm. and its modern dance has found the pro. per expression for the spirit Of mod orn times better than any other ma. ton, in the opinion of Max Rein hardt.
 That John Barrymore Is the great est Americon actor, Jeanne Eagles Lenore Clrich topnotch actress, and Bell-Geddes a veritablo genius in devising stage scenery, were fur ther opinions voiced to Tho Asso- ciated Press by the noted German stage director.
 Hamlet in full evening dress and Shyock in bathing tights constitute so much nonso, said Reinhardt,
 America Is on the threshold to q tremendous thea'rical future" Rein hardt observed. There is q yearning, a craving among American theoter goors for the best in art such as is equalled in hut few countries.
 This yearning, coupled with your American tcmperament--"pcp,' to use a slang expression --- and with the capacity Of your people to ab- sorb new idcas, predestines America for a leading position in theatrical art"
 Elaborating his ideas concerning jazz, Reinhardt explained:
 
 'The American feeling for rhythm, as eyempli!ied in jazz, gives better expression to the spirit of our time than any other form of music. Jazz is literally crying for someone 10 do for it what, for instance, Johann Strauss did for the waltz give 1t concrete expression in d manner that will endure through generations"
 It is going too far, according 10 Relnhardt, to produce Hamlet in evening dress suit, or to lay the scene ot the Merchant of Venice"
