PRESS RAPS PROFANITY
Needless Smut on Stage Hit by
London Editors.

By United Press
LONDON, Sept. 13.-Anti-profan-
ity propaganda directed against
authors and producers Of plays
which contain profanity merely for
the sake of publicity is appearing in
the press.
The Evening News started the
campaign, arguing that stage pro-
family not only has passed the
bounds of decency but of realism as
well. The paper said several current
successes contained lines which if
actually used in the clubs in which
the scenes were laid would cause the
speakers to be ostracized.

CHAPTER XLVII

IN inhaling the warm fragrance
IL of thousands of sun-caressed
roses, the pride of Rufus Worrel
Crandall's heart. They were to have
tea in the garden shortly-she ano
her parents" but Mr.. and Mrs
Crandall had not yet appeared.
'.Mr. Schuyler Smythe calling
Miss Crandall," Soames bowed be-
fore here deferentially. IT told him
that Miss Crandall was not re-
ceiving today, but he insisted that
! bring his card to you."
Vee-Vee sprang up, a picture Of
startled dismay and anger. She
had opened her lips to send the
intruder a cutting dismissal, when
the intruder himself came saunter-
ing up.
There you are, Vee-Veel" his
voice, which she had once thought
SO musical and had found so NOV
ing, called out with impudent
familiarity.
THANK you, Soames." Vee-Vee
dismissed the butler with a curt
nod, then turned her blazing green
eyes upon Schuyler Smythe, who
was bowling before her. II believe
the butler told you that I was not
receiving today, Mr.. Smythe. He
was quite right"
The blood mounted in a dark
tide over the theatrically handsome
face of the man before her. His
black eyes narrowed and focused
in a long, steady gaze upon her
green eyes. sparkling with anger.
"You are hard, vee-Vee, and
cruel-vindictively cruel" he said
slowly.
my name is Miss Crandall," Wee
wee retorted coldly, rising to make
his dismissal llnmistakable. Nov,
will you excuse me, please?"
She was turning when Schuyler
Smythe sprang toward her and laid
his hands upon her shoulders, his
fingers digging into her flesh.
I'm not going to be sent away
like this, Vee-Vee! You loved me
at Minnetonka-"
"But this is Manhasset Bay" Wee
Wee said cuttingly.
His shoulders dropped suddenly
with overwhelming detection, and
he spoke softly, humbly:
IT know have deserved this,
Vivian, but I can explain, II you
will give me a chance. And, by
heaven, you did love me. You can't
deny it! If kiss like the one you
gave me does not mean love"
Vee-Vee was again turning away,
with a hard little laugh, when
Soames reappeared.
Mrs. Cartwright is calling, Miss
Crandall."
"Have her come out here,
Soames. Mrs. Cartwright is invited
to tea. Ard Mr.. Smythe is leaving,
Soames. lAr. Smythe will not call
again." she added significantly.
After Schuyler had gone, Vee-Vee
sank down in a swinging chair, for
her knees were trembling so that
she could scarcely stand.
Dear Vee-Veel What a stunning
picture you make lying there!"
Vee-Vee had not realized how
much she loved her frivolous, light
hearted aunt until Flora Cart
wright's arms we're about her and
she discovered that Flora's slightly
plump shoulder made heavenly
place to weep upon.
"You aren't by any chance weep
ing over that handsome cad that I
passed in the hall, are you, dar-
ling?" Flora demanded.
"Why, my dear, I've just been dy-
ing to see you ever since his name
was coupled with yours in the pa
pers, so that I could tell you that
he is the Schuyler I knew once
"You knew hirn?"

that I had known Schuyler once

again that he'd be sorry? was en-

A picture of tremendous dri. matic strength and as full of thrills as an egg is of meat. is the new Metropolitan produatien, "Shipwrecked.' featuring Saena Owen and Joseph Schlldkraut. which was given it's premier showing at the Palace theatre yesterday. It was voted great by all who saw it, and the verdict is in no sense misleading.

made by the commission since The

every Monday evening from $3.50

Fishing The Air
Out Our Way
BY LEONARD E. PEARSON
All references are Central Standard Time

Program directors are perplexed
about the broadcasting of phono-
graph records. Some of them
frankly admit 1t, while others may
be hiding their secret and keeping
the issue closed
Only a half dozen years ago and
even less listeners thought moth
ing Of adjusting the cats-whisker on
the crystal and the phones on the
head, then sitting back to enjoy a
program from a nearby station.
Maybe it wasn't included in each
announcement, but no one was de-
ceived. 1t was usually understood
that a monograph was being heard.
A reaction to this type of enter
tainrfient followed, and just now it
seems hard to tell whether the re-
action originated among radio fans
or broadcaters. People turned
against canned" entertainment, de-
handing the real stuff" in Give"
form. Every radio owner and many
others know what happened, and no
one is wanting to go back.
Il Radio artists of countless sorts
were developed; individuals, teams,
companies; singers, actors, instru-
mentalists; funny-men, story tell
ers, and long list Of others. But
there seems to be limit to every
thing. Not that there is any short
sge Of material, for stations are not
complaining that persons are not
available to make up their bills.

for their services-and there's where
the limit comes in. Conditions diff
fer with stations, depending upon
the basis of their operating system,
but many cannot afford, they be-
lieve, to expend the sums for artists
they would like to for the hours
they want to be on the air.
The natural result is that they
consider resorting to reproducing
machines, which, fine as they were
few years ago, have reached a
higher plane of perfection. Yet they
hesitate. They are puzzled as to the
attitude of listeners. Will they re-
sent Photographic numbers instead
Of those originating in the broad
casting studio? Or can this form
Of amusement be adapted to radio,
not as the chief form of broadcast,
but as one phase of, it?
If records are used, which makes
the bigger hit: Standard or popular
numbers that are well known or a
program of the latest releases?
Many readers heard and others
know that last weak WKBF insti-
tuted the Brunswick Shop hour.
Those connected with the station
and the sponsors of this hour were
highly pleased with the response it
received. 1t was request program,
and the requests exceeded the num-
Der that could be filled in the al
loted time.
Fishing the Air would appreciate
an expression from this columns
readers on this question. DO they,
as radio listeners, enjoy such radio
features? If so, should such be on
the air in the evening or confined
to daytime broadcasting? And are
latest releases or older selections
preferable? Send your letters to
this department and their opinions
will be used here later and passed
on to the local broadcasters, as a
guide to the tastes of Hoosier radio
fans.

Indiana's only chain station has

Ft. Wayne, hooked up with the Co

operate on 5000 watts between

its maximum output was 100 watts,
although its station has capacity
for 1900 watts. Besides broadcast

continue its regular channel of 1910
kllocycles.
