PICTURES BY AIR
PREDICTED

Broadcasting Of motion pictures
will be the next outstanding adj
vance in the field of wireless COM
munication, Atwater Kent, OF Phila-
delphia, a member of Secretary
Hoover's committee on broadcasting,
believes.
Declaring he has been intensely
interested in the recent transmits
sion of motion pictures by radio
across the city of Washington and
their projection on q miniature
screen, Mr.. Kent said he anticipates
the time when radio movies" will
be shown as clearly and large as
canned pictures now thrown on
theater screens. He addad:
when it is remembered that
radio broadcasting stations and
broadcasting words and music of
whole vaudeville shows and operas
are achievements of the past 10
years, perfection of radio motion
pictures during the next few years
seems goal likely to be attained.
Recent success in radio vision ex.
periments indicate that by 1895. and
perhaps even sooner. we can sit at
home and watch the playing of a
championship baseball series. pro.
jected on radio picture screen.
besides hearing the umpire's voice
and the crowds cheers. which the
sound receiving set now picks up.
Possibilities Of such apparatus
are unlimited. Inauguration of the
President, maneuvers of battleships.
horse races and football games could
be witnessed by persons all over the
nation, at the time they happened.
for waves carry the pictures across
the continent in less than a second.
Cost of a radio vision machine
for homes is only a matter Of specu.
lation yet, but it seems that it could
be made as accessible as high-pow.

the market"

biles, radios and other forms Of en-
tertainment
1T is perhaps because of less COM
petition from reading as asmeans of
enjoyment that Europeans have
turned to music. In these more back
ward countries radio would supply
added musical entertainment and
afford a more direct channel for the
dissemination of news.
THE wide use Of radio as news
channel, and by the government for
direct communication with the peo-
pie would make for more intelligent
patriotism and increased unity. Now
all communication with the llliterate
must be by slow and uncertain word
of-mouth method. The entertainment
features would add happiness to
sordid living. The educational ben
efits. including agricultural instruc-
ton, would possess great economic
values. Prevailing conditions of
poverty and illiteracy few Americans
realize"

may now be assured for the whole
year round. Those who entrust their
message to the air know that they
can safely extend their broadcasting
season.
Third viii be the practical solu
ton Of the artists problem. Thanks
largely to radio, the United States
has become great nation OF music
lovers. Broadcasting, far from do
creasing, has definitely increased the
opportunities Of the artist. The de-
mand for broadcassing now is ami
will continue to be for artists with
greater repertoires. for novelties on
the air, for more and better enter
tainment. And If the broadcastinP
structure is made entirely self-sus-
tanning there will be sufficient sup.
port for every type and character
of entertainment program.
Fourth will be the establishment
of broadcasting systems through wire
interconnections or by other means
that will operate more or less upon
a. national basis as distinguished

First, by better programs. For
those who have learned through ex.
perience the wide acceptance Of
radio broadcasting by the listening
public know also the attention value
OF good program. The results will
be evident during the present winter
season, when commercial. educa-
tional and social organizations vii,
vie with one another to put the best
possible program on the air.
THE second factor will be longer

But conditions are such as to present

ITO comprehend fully this differ

literacy may run from rs to IS per

Bishop, Calf, June 6LP)-A 70
