wings OF the Pride of Detroit.
It was their intention to continue
their flight to Aleppo and Bagdad
upon refueling at Constantinople, but,
instead, they had to reconcile them
selves to waiting for Turkish red
tape to unroll. The American en-
bassy tried to speed permission from
the Turkish authorities for the plan
to get away again, but the officials
here insisted on compliance with the
formality of obtaining a permit to fly
over Anatolia, which must be given
by the chief Of staff at Angora. When
the American airmen retired he had
not replied to their telegraphed re.
quest.

They asked to be awakened SO as to
be at the airdrome about 4 o'clock
this morning, ready for the hop-off
as soon as the permit arrived. but
thought 1t probable they could not
start before 8 am.
When they found it was impossible
to get away from Constantinople i'm.

Stamboul bazaars to purchase Palm

preparation for the Asiatic heat.

the monoplane was expected here

REPRESENTATIONS were that the

dawn (between $3.50 and am. East

possibility of the plane heading in
land without being sighted was real
lied. as was the fact that conditions
at sea might delay the craft. Light

ANNOUNCING Is.
DEVELOP
BY LISTENER.IN
Pinch-hittinE for Gardner Mack)


The evolution Of announcers has
been one of the most interesting
things to watch in the development
of radio broadcasting.
In the early days of broadcasting
announcers played a more. prom.
inent part than the artists. for one
reason because the atists were
never prominent. Now the an
nouncers remain in the background.
except for very unusual occasions.
But as the programs became bet
ter and better and listeners began
to demand more prominent program
material, announcers began to take
back seat.
The movement has now gone so
far that at many stations announ-
GERS are hired merely for their
voices. and what they say is writ
ten in advance by expert writer's
who carefully measure how much
Of the announcement shall be about
the program and how much about
the advertiser who is paying for It.
New Kind Of AnnOuncers
The movement. however. has not
been entirely in one direction. A
new kind of announcing has devel-
oped. in which the announcer is
the actual program.
For this kind Of work. few par
ticularly talented announcers have
been selected and they stand out
even more prominently than the
announcers of the old days. The
list of these announcers is of course
headed by Graham McNamee.
McNamee has made his reputa.
ton. not on announcing what piece
is going to be PLAYED next. but by
describing big events. sporting,
political or Otherwise. He still does
some of the routine announcing but
If that was all he ever did his name
would not be known outside of New
York.
The old type of announcer was
unimportant and the listening pub
i!c is beginning to realize that. The
less he says the better. from the
listeners stand p oint. He has
! slumped back to his proper posi-
ton in the broadcasting game.
New Announcer Is a Reporter
The new style announcer, how
ever. Is no longer an announcer.
He is a reporter and as such must
have qualities never needed in the
old days. His importance is con-
tinually growing in the radio world
as more and more events are being
described for the listening public.
Speaking of the new type OF
announcers. one listener and reader
