ROInping Around

Radio Dial
BY Listener-m

]
passed up here in Washington by
amateur dramatic players with
ambitions toward the professional
stage.
With short dramatic skits increas-
| ing in popularity and with a great
dearth of such entertainment from
the two local stations, there is
big chance for some group to step
In and take. lot of glory
One group of amateurs has made
/ a wonderful reputation over the
air That group is known as the
| WGY players. They produce a
three-act play from the Schenectady
station every Friday night, and
have been doing so for nearly Ntwo
years.
During this time the players nave
attained an undreamed of popular
| ity and many of them have been
flooded with offers from tho pro-
/ fessional stage.
! Why don't some local amateurs
get together. study the rules of
radio dramatics and get Busy? If
they had any talent they could get
onto the local air and would be
well on the way to fame.
Storms just about ruined things

! the Monument Grounds by rain and
