In the Listeners Forum" COL
umn published in The Star last
Sunday, Mr.. Campbell revealed
the plans of the sponsors of Amos
n Andy" to have them broadcast
earlier. It was two days later be-
fore the N. B. G. press bureau
made formal announcement of
the important change. Mr.. Camp
bell received his information di-
rect from the sponsors, and with
his letter to The Star radio de-
partment, incloSed communica-
ton from the sponsors to show the
authority Of the announcement.
Be that as it may, Amos m
Andy" will be heard at z o'clock,
beginning tomorrow evening, and
Washington radio listeners, eSpe-
cially the children who have fol-
lowed the career of these two IA
nous radio characters, are happy,
indeed. The two comedians also
feel better. since they have been
accused Of keeping children up
past their ordinary bedtimes.

Coincident with the announce
ment of Sir Harry LADDERS return
to the microphone, the N. B. G.
also disclosed that another famous
star Of the concert world, John
Mccormack, Is coming back after
an absence Of nearly three years.
Mccormack is to be featured in
the Victor program on ThankSgiv-
Ing night. He was last heard on
the air January l, 1927.
Fifteen seconds in the life of the
averfge person are usually just Is
seconds. But to the radio an
nouncer and others responsible for
the programs that come on the
air at stated periods, these same
ticks Of the clock assume a def
mite Importance.
According to a ruling of the
Federal Radio Commission, broad
casting stations are required to
give their call letters at regular in
tervalS, and for this purpose each
one associated with the chains is
allowed Is seconds for every Is
minutes, during which break the
network stations are disconnected
from the key studios. This has
made it necessary for the stations
to bridge over from their OWL
studios the dead spaces" So
called, that exist before and after
the call letters are given-a prob
lem which individual stations are

however, is used by WBAL In
Baltimore. At this station a sin
gle control 'tfader" has been in
stalled in the announcers booth
and through this device listeners
hear, at first softly, the tinkling
tones of Maryland, My Mary
land" which provide a musical
background to the local announce
ment.
AS soon as the call letters arc
given the music comes closer and
continues until the silvery notes
of Maryland, My Maryland" are
gradually faded back into the net
work program that follows, the
entire operation being controlled
by the announcer.
Heretofore when these "dead
spaces" occurred they were filled
in by the announcer, who kept at
his elbow a copy Of extra an
nouncements for just such occa-
sionS. Now such awkward mo-
mentS are completely avoided,
thus making another step forward
in the technique Of broadcasting.

BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

listeners in the New York broad
cast area will get their first taste
Of the So-called canned" radio
programs, recorded, however, on e
much larger scale than ever before
attempted.
Three New York stations,
WMCA, WRNY and WGBS, are
adjusting their schedules for the
new experiment, which involves
the use Of electrically recorded
programs on discs of the type
adopted in the production OF
talking movies" The chief OBJ
ject of the recorded program is
to dispense with the costly wire
lines generally used in chain pro-
grams.
The use of the new recorded
program is expected to extend far
beyond the New York area. In
fact, arrangements already have
been made for a number of sta
tions scattered ali over the couSa-
try to put on the air Thanksgiving
day one Of the recorded programs
dedicated to the cause of world
peace and good will.
Famous bands, orchestraS and
choruSes of nine European coun-
tries have participated in the
making of the Thanksgiving day
record. 1t is to he a two-hour
program.
Aside from its unusual musical
interest the outstanding feature
about this program Is that 1t will
not be broadcast by human beings
Those who will pay and sing in
it will be thouSar IS of miles away,
a condition which, makes it vir-
tually impossible 10 get them to-
gether for any broadcast. What
has taken two Hnonths of fast
travel and constant work to COL
lect in Europe wilkh be heard in the
United States in two hours. It has
never been done before. Thus, the
event will mark "a revolutionary
departure In radio.

eral months ago required strategy
and considerable persuasion on
the part of the broadcasters to get
him to go on the air.
But now that the famous Scotch
comedian has had a taste OF
broadcaSting and apparently took
liking to it, there are indica-
tions that his voice may soon be
Just as familiar on the air lanes
as that of some of the famous
opera stars. Every broadcast,
however, will make him hundreds
of dollars richer, for it is under
stood he is demanding heavy sums
for his radio presentations.
LADDERS second broadcast will
be December /, and by some
strange coincidence he will appear
before the microphone twice in
the same evening, but under diff
ferent sponsorship. AS a result
there will be half an hour Of his
Scotch songs and drolleries on the
air.
In his initial radio program,
Lauder was on the air for only
Is minutes and, according to the
National Broadcasting Co., he in.
sisted that his forthcoming broad
cast be extended. The noted
comedian said Is minutes did not
seem to satisfy his admirers.

Is quoted as saying, II was only
on for IS minutes and people

worry at all whether the seats in

Sir Harry's microphone debut
occurred in Canada, although most
of the stations which carried the
program are in the United States.
