no means the only essential. One
may be the finest of stage per-
formers, holding and thrilling the
last row in the balcony, and yet
leave a radio audience cold and
uninterested. The greatest artists
sometimes do not broadcast as well
as a lesser colleague who never
faced a real audience and who
might be a fiat failure if he did.
Good radio artists invariably
possess two qualities that seem to
be directly opposed to each other,
namely, tension and repoSe. III
order to get across the air there
must be a dynamic concentration
an intense absorption in what
one is broadcasting. At the same
time there must be calm control
that overrides the inevitable dis
turbances of radio studio. The
relentless minute hand on the
clock may demand some extempo-
raneous cutting of a musical num-
Der on the part of a studio direc-
tor in the very midst of a per-
Torrance. Engineers and control
men may issue innumerable in
Structions. In the face of every
thing, the artist. must go on.
maintaining his poiSe no matter
what happens. Temperament has
no place in a broadcasting studio
The slightest sign of discompoSure
registers over loudspeaker.
Another quality that radio art
lists must possess is sincerity. In
this lies the power of holding an
invisible audience. Tricks of man.
ner, beauty of face, clever little
distractions that catch the eye of
a visible audience are of little
avail. The radio audience can be
impressed only through what 1t
hears. So the only thing that
counts is the quality of sound
which penetrates the microphone
A charming, beautifully gowned
woman who is not a particularly
distinguished artist may create an
illusion of art to an audience that
sits directly before her. But the
smile, the gesture, the radiant ap-
pearance that are such an impor-
tant asset on the sage are of nc
value before the microphone
There personality and beauty of
artistry must make themselves
felt without eXtraneouS aids.
Emotion may be faxed on the
stage, but not over the air. Ger
tain actors have found that they
have a more moving effect on their
audiences when they do not ac-
tually feel the emotion they are
portraying, but simply project it
automatically, watching their
own performance with as cool a
detachment as though they them
selves we're part of the audience
This. however. cannot be done
over the air. One cannot pretend
successfully before a microphone
In some mysterious manner all
waves register not what the per-
former tries to convey, but what
he actually feels. There must b.
fundamental sincerity. Articles
are BADLY exposed. The same is

on the legitimate stage today.
Through the ages the drama has
been at various places. sometimes
in the inns, other times in the
courts OF royalty, and again in
the theater. There is no drama to
! speak of today, but the next re-
vlval OF drama will be by the ra-
dio.
THE radio station of the future
will have a dramatic laboratory.
Sound is infinitely the most dra-
matte of all things. Words spoken
to a background of suggestive
sound are dramatic when the
same words, without the back
ground are fiat. In this labora-
tory radio will develop the sound
effects to create its drama
The rewards of the radio play
wright in the present stage of de-
velopment are not to be compared
to the rewards of the author of a
Broadway hit. The author of a
play for the legitimate stage that
Is produced may expect at least
$500, while the author of a radio
play usually receives $50.

The secret of what makes a sue
ceSsful radio artist is as yet some
what difficult to analyze. It's key
lies perhaps in combination of
qualities that might be termed
lair personality"
Addition committees, trained in
listening to thousands of Would-be
radio stars, know inStinctively
which ones will be a success over
the air. Novice applicants may
commit every crime against micro
phone technique at their initial
trial. That does not matter
Technique may be acquired later
What does count is an Unborn
quality capable of holding an in
visible audience.
1t is taken for granted that q
successful broadcaSting performer
must first of all be an artist in his
own particular medium-whethel
that be singing, playing, acting OF
speaking. Artistry, however, is b.

Three Types of Music.
Stokowski, who steadfastly refused to
permit his orchestra to broadcast until
radio transmitters and receiving sets
had been perfected, has arranged a
Gerl..ln, Russian and French pro-
gram for the radio concerts. The OPEN

the compositions of Bach, Mozart and
Wagner.

youths, pioneers in new, untried
field. Behind them is the tech
nique, the traditions and the me-
chanics of the old stage. Before
them is technique, as yet upper
fected, and rewards that no man
can possibly measure.
In the few years radio broad
casting has existed on a large
scale, the dramatic program has
slowly evolved from the short skit
presented between music, to the
longer plays, offering situation,
plot and characterization. In the
years to come, according to those
now devoting themselves to radio
dramaticS, the radio will evolve
plays which will take the. drama to
higher level than the current le-
Ultimate theater offers.
There are a dozen or so names
which already mean much when
radio dramaticS are discussed
Vernon Radcliffe, for years an
actor and stage director, and now
production director for the Ma
tional BroadcaSting Co.; Raymond
Knight. Edward Hale BierStadt.
Burke Boyce, Finis Farr, jr.; John
Alcorn, Stewart Ayres and Kay
Seymour rate special attention.
Henry FiSke Carleton, William
Ford, William Ford Manley and
Burr Cook also deserve places in
the inward circle of radio dramatic
pioneers.
Radcliffe is best known as di-
rector of the weekly melodrama
staged for the microphone of the
National BroadcaSting Co. Some
term his a visionary, yet there is
not a technician associated with
radio in any capacity who
couldn't be accused of the same
thing with Justice.
Radio will develop it's own
technique, a technique of sound,

womanhood has been readily recorded
by the brush, but the modern woman
commands an art of transforming her
real self into something which merely

she makes first rate Photographic
