RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Secretary Hoover probably will call
another national radio conference this
Fall, in continuation of his policy to
hold conferences annually. The def
mite plans and date are as yet un-
decided, but it is believed that invi-
tations will go out calling the ses-
sions in Washington in November,
certainly before Congress reassem-
bles.
Results secured at the three past
conferences have been SO valuable to
the Secretary of Commerce that he is
disposed to refer all questions involv-
ing the different elements of the radio
industry and art TO a representative
assembly of all interests from the
manufacturing and commercial con-
Germs to the amateurs and listeners
In other words, lacking specific au-
thority by law to regulate some
phases of radio, Hoover is anxious
to have a sort of referendum and
sound out the situation before he acts
Only through the cooperation prom
ised and given at past conferences,
has the Secretary been able to keep
peace in radioland.
All interests will be represented
and it is probable that among the
subjects discussed will be necessary
congressional legislation to bring the
old 1913 radio law up to date. so that

brought up, as will international
broadcasting and amateur regulations
when such stations transmit outside
the limits of the country. High-power
broadcasting, short wave omissions,
world wide ship regulation and many
other angles of radio development
will be considered. The question of
separate wave channels for interna-
tional radiophone communication
transmission of pictures by radio, and
the possibility of extending the broad
cast band in the United States are
also scheduled for investigation.
1t will be beneficial to have the gen.
eral attitude of the American radio
interests known before the meeting
of the foreign representatives here

whenever an extra amount of metal is

practical certainty of radio being in

such international conferences it Is
said that each government will draw

questions to be discussed in Paris,

broadcasting stations in class d to-
day, 46 have never changed their wave
length ALLEGATION made Immediately
after the radio conference last Octo-
ber.
The congestion in the ether today
and the interference experienced is
undoubtedly largely due to the 2e
new B stations which have gone on
the air since the conference. These
81 stations are all operating on ~
channels, nearly all of them doubling
up; that is, sharing a single wave
length.

Technique of Radio Drama.

Technique of Radio Drama.
For two years now we have been
deserting the dinner table at the
salad in order to be at the radio in
time for WGY's dramas.
1t must be admitted, even by the
most intolerant observer, that WGH
has once and for all time established
the ear play in broadcasting. This
accomplishment in itself should be
attended with some honor and glory
and in the radio years to come per-
haps the penetrating pen of some his
torian OF the thea&er will give decent
recognition to the effort.
This establishment of the ear play,
with it's carefully worked-out tech
nique of sound illusions, has by no
means come about through unintelli-
gent leadership or unmindful applica-
tion to the problem of creating the
atmosphere of the theater in the voids
of space. The performers, the prin-
cipal equation, have been selected
with care and patiently trained. Their
work, all considered, has been admir-
able.
Unfortunately for WGY, the tech
niQue of the theater is strange to
the technique of the studio and We
can never hope to take play pre-
pared to meet the needs of the legiti-
in the majority of cases, confusing
the listeners or losing their interest.
The chief obstacle TO the success Of
the transfer from the stage to the
studio is not caused entirely, as
might be presumed, by the total lack
of vision. A play with sufficiently
small cast may be presented from
either source with a large degree of
success.
The trouble with most stage plays
adapted to the radio is that they have
too many characters who because
they are not seen, cannot be readily
recalled by the listener.
The listener, unlike the theater-
goer, must mark and follow his char
acters by voice only and when a large
group of players with voices differing
only slightly in modulation appear
the radio listener divides his mental
effort between following the plot and
keeping tabs on the players. 1t is
natural that he should lose much of
the entertainment.
The only solution to this problem
seems TO lie in preparing plays espe-
cially for the air with small cast
of characters with voices varying in
modulation to a marked degree. -Four
players, or FIVE at the utmost, would
seem to be about the limit.
