FORMER DIRECTOR

Fred Smith Returns After
Year With u. S. Radio
Society.
BIZ I nitCd Press

CINCINNATI, Oct. %. - Fred
Smith has returned to the Crosley
WLW super-power broaGcastins sta
ton. He resumed his activities as
studio director after an absence OF a
year, during which time he has been
associated with the United States Ra-
dio Society. of which organization he
is director. He has many plans tor
charging the activities of the stu
do and will introduce many new fea
lures which he has been preparing
for some time, William c. Stones will
be the musical director and assist in
announcing.
Smith first joined the broadcasting
department Of the Crosley Radio
Corporation in August 1922, upon his
arrival in this country after eight
years in Spain, France, Belgium, Hol-
land, Germany and England, where
he studied the arts, languages and in
stitutions of those countries. He re-
turned to Europe in the spring Of
1925 as Americas first radio am
bassador, revisiting all of the inn
rortant European radio centers.
The radario or play written espe.
cially for presentation via broadcast
ing, was originated by Smith, who
also prepared the studio acting ver-
sion of the first hystery serial story
for broadcasting-"A Step On the
Stairs" The first Sunday school
services were started by Smith. lie
also originated the thematic style of
presenting programs, utilizing gra-
rhis word pictures as background for
musical settings. Many other radio
troadcasting novelties were created
by him.
Smith was voted the most popular
radio announcer in Cincinnati, in a
contest conducted a few years ago
and he is known throughout the
country through his CHEEKY Good
Night at the close Of the programs
he announces.
The popularity of this announcer
and director may Misunderstood by
the many telephone messages and
telephone messages and kilograms he
received on his first nights announc-
ing through WLW when the listen
ers had no previous knowledge of his
return. His voice is one that is
easily identified, once it has been
heard.

pany. in this way: THE chief adj
vantage in inductive tuning, as we
apply it, is that we obtain extremely
even sensitivity over the entire
broadcast range.
The best use TO which we could
put our comparatively large labora-
tory facilities and complete engineer
ing staff, was to develop such a tun-
ing system which would show a flat
sensitivity or application curve all
the way from 200 meters to $50
meters without the use Of auxiliary
controls for maintaining the tubes at
the well-known hot spot with every
change in wave length setting. I'm
satisfied we have approached this
ideal condition as closely as it is
possible at this stage of radios de-
velopment."
