BIZ NEA Serrice
ELGIN, Ill. April "A new way
to pay for broadcasting is to be
tested by stations WTAS and WCEE
here.
1t consists Of putting radio enter
tainers on the stage to perform be-
for a paying audience.
For this purpose Charles e. Erb-
stein, noted Chicago attorney, who
own both WTAS and WCEE, has
leased the Blackstone Theater, in
Chicago. for nightly radio and publ,
entertainments 1t is the first time
this stunt has ever been attempted.
Low Admission
WTAS artists and the WTAS or
chestra will broadcast nightly from
the Blackstone stage. A low admis-
sion fee will be charged to defray
the expenses. Nearly 1900 people
will have this opportunity of watch
ing the nightly radio broadcasting
program.
Stars of the vaudeville, theatrical
and concert world are also expected
to appear on Elgin programs, facing
their audience nightly on the
Blackstone stage and at the same
time broadcasting their entertain
ment by microphone through WTAS
and WCEE.
A remote control line connects the
Blackstone stage with the operat
ing rooms at Elgin, forty miles
away.
Already Tested
The Blackstone experiment will
be step farther in the line of
broadcasting before an audience.
Erbstein has been staging his stu
do entertainments for the past year

His success at this small ven
ture treasures Erbstein in his bigger

Lee De Forest, Inventor of
Wireless Telephone, Sent
First Aerial Messages One
Block in July, 1907
Used Taking Machine.

TOLEDO. April 1.-The first radio
sending station in the orld. where
music and the voice were broadcast
by wireless telephone, was estab-
lished in a room in the Nicholas
Building, this city. in July. 1907.
Lee De Forest, inventor Of the
wireless telephone and father of the
present extensive radio broadcast
ing, was at the sending station. His
co-worker. Frank +. Butler, received
in a room a block away in the Ohio
Building.
Butler in Toledo
Butler is now manager in charge
of sporting goods and radio sets in
Toledo department store. He had
been associated with De Forest since
they met at the st. Louis Fair in
1904 when Butler. then. a train dis
patcher. visited the exposition.
In the summer of 1906 Butler,
from the station he had erected at
Manhattan Beach. L. l.. in conjunc-
ton with De Forest, sent the first
wireless telegraph message across
the Atlantic.
De Forest in 1907 perfected. in
the old Parker Bldg New York
City, the first audion bulb, the in
strument that foreshadowed the
dawn Of the wireless telephone. He
and Butler designed two crude send
ing and receiving sets and went to
Put-in-Bay, in Lake Erie. where
during the yacht races the wireless
telephone proved its worth. De For
est had his set on the Yacht Thelma
and sent to Butler, on shore, verbal
accounts of the races on the lake.
Ate at Home
Neither had funds Toledo being
near by. Butler induced De Forest
to come here where they at least
could eat at Buffers father-in-law's
table. Setting up their crude sets
in the Nicholas and Ohio Buildings
they carried on their experiments,
using an old talking machine for
music when not discussing the re-
suits orally by wireless.
Butler says De Forest got his real
financial start when he was ordered
in 1908 to build forty wireless
telephone sets for Admiral Bob
Evans fleet about to sail around the
world. Butler left the inventor
about this time and organized the
American Wireless Institute, the
first of it's kind in the world.
