been given Station WIZ by Messrs

The event was hailed as an elabor-

ward the broadcasting Of other pro.
ductions in the future, as well as 10
establish a precedent in linking radio
to the stage and thereby furnish lis

tertainmcnt Of an outstanding nature.
Inasmuch as it was impossible 10
broadcast the entire score and dia-
logue as presented at Jolson's Thsl
ter, special preparations were made
to adapt radio Interpretation OF
The Student Prince" to the micro
phone. The skill of both theatrical
producers and radio impresarios
was applied to the arrangement Of
the program to give listeners the full
benefit Of all the musical hits and
high spots Of the show.
Concerning the event, Lee Shu-
bert said:
"The amount Of professional at
mosphere conveyed to the listening au-
dience and the listeners reaction 10

features which / am studying. and the
results will guide me in determining

F FARMERS TELL
MONEY VALUE
Of RADIO

How radio helps the farmer in dol
lars and cents and closely links the
agricultural sections of the United
States with the rest Of the world is
graphically revealed By the partici-
pants in the recent radio contest con-
Quoted over WIS. the Sears-Roebuck
Agricultural Foundation station.
To find out just now radio benefits
the farmer, WIS asked farm listeners
to write a letter telling their indi-
vidual experiences. Replies were re-
ceived from twenty states. These let
tiers showed about an equal division
between the popularity of the strictly
entertainment features of radio and
its economic and service uses.
Winners in the contest were an
nounced today by Edgar l.. Bill, direc-
tor of WIS. The first prize, COM
pletc fivc-tube radio set, was av arded
to Mrs. August Kralse Of Easton, H.,
for the best letter on "How Ratio
Helps Me on the Farm" The second
prize, another five-tube set, was won
by Mrs. Charles X. StemDel Of Bos
well, Ind.
We're farmers by day and radio
fans by night" was the note that ran
through most Of the contest letters.
Some said they considered radio more
valuable 10 the farmer than the auto
mobile. The writer's pointed out how
the market reports helped to make
and save money. Many hundreds Of
dollars were made on advance radio
Information as to when TO hold and
when 10 rush livestock and crops to
the market.
There is no drudgery 10 dishwash-
ing, busting or patching if there is
music to work by and the livelier the
music the faster you work. Radio has
brought this music to our door, wrote
the first prize winner, Mrs. Krause.
We live two miles from the mail box
and don't get mail regularly, but our
radio brings MS the world news. We
are no longer isolated from the city.
1t was a thrill Of a lifetime when !
listened to the wonderful voice Of John
Mccormack and the Inauguration Of
President Coolidge. The weather and
market reports are valuable helps We
saved money in marketing our products
on the information through the air.
The weather forecasts also saved many

PUBLIC IS WILLING
To PAY FOR RADIO

when the broadcast announcers
tell you over the air that two million
people are hearing the program now
being broadcast remarks Kingsley
Welles in the November Radio Broad
cast magazine, st is breaking no con
fidences to say that they do not really
know how many listeners they ara
actually reaching. Almost everyone
who has had the opportunity has
played fast and free with statistics
dealing with radio. particularly with
reference TO the number of radio re-
ceivers and their owners.
There is no positive way to tell
Just how many sets are in use. The
question, Have you a radio set?
might well be added to the already
long list asked by the United States
census, although we should have to
wait until 1890 before these now oc-
cult facts could be made public. 1t
is an excellent maxim not to take any
statistics too seriously, for like the
Scriptures. the devil can land prob
ably does) quote them for his own
purposes.
'But slices Of the radio listening
group have been visited by the euuiva-
lent of the inquiring reporter and
the results, while they prove nothing
but facts about the given group. are
interesting. The figures give one a
pretty fair idea of what sort of an
individual the composite radio listener
is.
'The Investigators were much in
terested in learning why n particular
make Of receiver was bought. 1t was
found that 46 per cent Of the owners
purchased their set because they
thought it the best make. while IL per
cent acted on the advice of friends,
and tagging 10 per cent bought be-
canse of low prices.
'-0f 11G6 set owners asked the price
paid for their equipment. "a per cent
did not know what it cost. The initial
cost Of the sets varied from 50 10
$3.50. The average cost Of the receiver
was 500. The manufactured set cost
more than the home-asSembled receive
er. which was found TO cost about $40.
The survey indicated quite definitely
that most Of the present owners are
willing and expect TO pay more for
their next set. Some AZ per cent ex-
pect to pay between $50 and 5000 for
their new receiver"

WINS MUSIC CAREER

MOOSEHEART, H., Oct. "a. -
Raymond Baltar, student here who
sings over radio station WILD, has
been acclaimed as the possessor of n
velvet tenor voice" After United
States Secretary of Labor James j..
DAVIS, founder of Mooseheart heard
MIN sing. he proclaimed his protege
as "the velvet voice tenor" and an
nounced that he would pay all ex-
penses for giving him a complete edu-
cation in music, and he predicts that
some day Raymond Baltar will become
a sensation in American opera and
that he may be the successor to Ca

Mass. His father was a fisherman.
The chief vocation in that historic
community is fishing, and nearly ev-
cry fisherman there is a member Of
the Loyal Order OF Moose. The fish
erfnen pay their dues a year in ad-
vance, as it is not unusual when they
are away from home end on their
fishing boats for several months dura-
ton. IL is not an uncommon occur
renee when fisherman at sea is to be
swept overheard when mighty waves
lash the boat. When this happens the
mother and children are admitted TO
MoOSeheart.
The boy with "the velvet voice, &"
was studying commercial art-sign
painting. when it was accidentally dis
covered that he possessed rich-toned,
colorful tenor voice. The discovery
was made by young woman student
during church service while the con-
gregation was singing. The young
woman, a soprano singer Of cxcep
tional ability reported her discovery
and the bashful boy was induced to
sing for Mr.. Davis and il his voice
holds up he will be on the road to
fame aud riches
