RADIO HISTORICAL
EXHIBIT TO REMAIN
DISPLAY Will Be Continued at Lans-
burgh & Bros All OF
Next Week.

The Radio Corporation of Americas
historical exhibit, depicting the evolu-
ton of radio from the time the first
wireless signal limped across the AT
lantic until today, when It is one OF
the master instruments OF the age, is
on display at Lansburgh & Bro, Wnere
it will remain throughout next week.
Nearly every radio device displayed
has a definite and important connec-
ton with the amazing progress OF raolo.
The apparatus will become a part OF a
national museum OF hStorlcai IaoIo
apparatus, toward the assembling OF
which George H. Clark, manager OF the
exhibition division of the Radio Cor
poration Of America, which assembled
the exhibit here, Is cooperating with
representatives of the Smithsonian IN
stitution and the Government.
In the exhibit there is shown Baden
Powell kite, associated in the minds of
every one who knows radio with the
carrying aloft of the aerial at st. Johns,
Newfoundland. on December IL, 1901.
Here is also the apparatus on which
Marconi first heard the three-dot sig
nal, the letter s." sent from Poldhu,
England, while the kite plunged about
aloft. They were three dots which
changed a world. The Marconi ap-
paratus at the show is so crude that it
never ceases to amaze spectators that
the experiment was successful. Helped
by no Superheterodynes, no regenera-
ton, no amplifiers, and without even
q thought of loud speaker, Marconi
heard England.
Another interesting piece of appara-
tuS is the De Forest steam arc, which

with the popular Bill Hay OF its stan
as their announcer.
Both comedians go among the Me-
groes for their local color and dialect,
which is said by authorities to be au-
thentic and well conceived. Colored
gatherings have often asked them TO
speak before them.
AS a matter of fact, the pairs repu-
tation rests more on the use of Ian
guage than on wit. The patter Is natu-
raj and seldom strained for humorous
effect. Their "rebarraSsed" for embar-
raised and their requested" for disgust
ed are typical examples of the kind OF
comedy they employ. Their fun is al
ways clean, wholesome and free from
suggestion.

ing the change in the time of the broad
casts by Amos m Andy" minstrel team,
sufficed to lead the National Broadcast
ing Co. to arrange for their appearance
twice nightly, beginning next Monday.
An Eastern network will carry their
dialogue from Z to tbs PM, Eastern
standard time, and the Western network
will hear them from 1890 to l0:45 pm,
Central standard time, every evening

Who are Amos m Andy" to have
stirred up such q fuss over a mere
SHIFT in the hour of their radio appear
ance?
The owners and operators of the
"Fresh Air Taxicab Co., Incorporated"
whose blackface comedy dialogue has
made them one of the most popular
features on the radio, are Freeman IL, +.
Gosden and Charles j. Correll. the
former is the Amos Jones" of the
team and the latter plays Andy
Brown" These two play all other parts,
too. and they write their own script,
never rehearsing any evenings perform
ance for fear of going stale.

fore they came to radio. Their joint
salary was reported to be in six figures
when they signed their first network
contract last August. 1t Is understood
to be 100000 a year, making them the
highest-paid comedians in radio.
Gosden is a native Of Peoria. Ill. and
Correll is a Virginian. They met In
Durham, N. c., at a rehearsal for
show in which they were teamed. The
Spring of 1925 found them in Chicago,
where, on lark, they asked a radio
station operator to permit them to go
on the air as a harmony and dialogue
pair. They took" so well that Station
WGN offered them contract to appear
each evening as Sam n Henry
The expiration of their contract
brought them an offer from Station
WMAQ, Chicago, and they soon reap
peared as amos N Andy" So popular
was their program. now a nightly fea-
ture, that the station yielded to de-
mand from other stations for recorded
versions. Soon the voices OF Amos n
Andy" were heard from photograph

A sponsor offered to place them on
the N. B. G. network last Summer. Ac-
cordingly, they dropped the recording
for personal appearances and moved
their imaginary taxicab company to
Harlem, which is now the base of their
operations and the scene of all their
experiences. Special arrangements were
made with Station WMAQ, which is
still a Chicago outlet for Amos N
