Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

rides for hours in the New YORK
subway trains keeping his ears
open for good Cracks"
Bob. the street musician and
wandering saxophone player. long
familiar to theater crowds on
Broadway, Is to make his radio
debut Wednesday night over a
National Broadcasting Co. net
work.
Nat Shildkret heard him play
last week and took him to a re-
cording studio to make group Of
photograph records. The N. B. &.
program makers heard about it
and had Shildkret sign him up for
a series of radio programs.
The biography Of Bob shows he
entered the British army at the
age of IL and served in five wars.
For the last two years he has shut
fled the streets of New York play
ing his saXophone for pennies.

Maj. Ivan Firth, British war
hero and for years associated with
radio and stage productions in
London, is the latest addition to
the production staff of the N. B. Z.
He Is we'll known in London as an
actor and playwright. One of his
most successful plays was dra-
matiZation of Russell Thorndike'S
famous novel, "Dr. SYM"
In radio Maj. Firth'S principal
contribution was the staging Of
the ballad "Tiadatha" for broad
casting. "Tiadatha" is an epic
poem that takes a British gentle
man through the war, and Maj.
Firth was before the microphone
for one hour with sound effects of
marching men, guns and military
bands to form a background.
Besides his dramatic abilities,
Maj. Firth also is singer. He
conducted a special series of pro-
grams for the British Broadcast
ing Corporation which used Amer
lean plantation songs. He plans
to present the same series to
American listeners in the belief
that the British idea of old-time
American songs would be enter
tanning as a novelty.
The increasingly important part
that the Federal Government Is
assuming in radio is reflected III
the recent announcement of the
Civil Service Commission for APP
plications for Government radio
engineers with salaries ranging as
high as $4,000 a year.
This growing interest may be
attributed to several factors, of
which the most significant, per-
haps, is that radio broadcasting
Is gradually evolving into public
utility with its control and regu-
lationS more and more being
placed in the hands of Federal
agencies.
The Governments elaborate
programs calling for the latest
radio equipment for airports, air
ways, the lighthouse service and
other projects also are seen as an
added indication of the greater
influence that the Government
will exercise in the future of radio.
y
A recent survey by the Natioull
Radio Institute showed that rad\c
dealers throughout the country
employ an average Of four radio
service men each.
The survey also indicates that
II per cent of the dealers contract
for their service and repair work
to be handled by outside service
organizations.

The radio bureau. to start oficially
August J.. already Is in existence, its
men are in training, and its equipment
Is being installed.
Radio detection outfits at different
points in Paris will comb the air for
short-wave messages from secret and
unauthorized stations. The simultane-
Gus checking from several points will
enable the police to determine the loca-
ton Of the secret post. A strongarm
squad will do the rest.
Several years ago vast fraudulent
operations were carried on from Paris,
as the police learned later, by private
sending and receiving stations.
Supplementing the detection force,
the bureau win have its own small
sending stations, equipped to transmit
photographs and fingerprints.
As for the air force, the Paris police
already has small squad and two air
planes equipped with wireless telephone.

MOS M ANDY, the popular
blackface comedians who

~ blaCkface comedians who
"A are known to Washington
4 a radio listeners through the
recorded comic sketches broadcast
by VOL, will make their personal
appearance before the microphone
August 10 for an unusual series OF
radio programs.
These comedians will be heard
nightly for year over an ex-
tensive National Broadcasting Co.
network, in which WRC Is eX-
pected to be a link, although nc
definite announcement has yet
been made as to the stations con-
shutting the chain for this fea-
ture. Their programs will be based
on conception of a daily comic
strip.
Aside from their radio presenta-
tions, Amos m Andy are to make
an extensive theatrical tour which
will carry them into all parts Of
the United States and neceSsitate
the microphone being carried to
them wherever they happen to be
when it comes time for them to
60 on the air.
Freeman Gosden and Charles J.
Correll are the full names of this
famous comedy team whose droll
witticisms, it seems. have capti-
waited the nation. They are wholly
the products of the microphone
and had never appeared on the
stage as blackface comedians until
radio made their names familiar
in all parts of the country.
GoSden is the Amos of the pair
and Correll the Andy. They have
been identified with broadcaSting
since 1925, always as blackface
comedians. Their popularity dates
back to their initial broadcast.
Unlike many performers, there
has been no let up. Their favor
with the listeners has increased
steadily with each broadcast.
The comedians made their radio
debut over WGN in Chicago as
Sam n Henry. Two years later
after their 56Sth broadcast they
were signed up by WMAQ. another
Chicago station, and adopted their
present microphone alias of Amos
m Andy.
n \ y
Word comes from New York that
several hundred of the new COIN
in-the-slot radio sets have been
installed in guest rooms of some of
the hotels there which are not
equipped with radio apparatus.
The sets are described as being
of the cabinet type, with a single
tuning device and volume control.
A 25-cent piece dropped into q
slot in the face of the panel sets
in motion a clockwork mechanism
which turns on the current of
both A and B batteries. A green
light on the panel indicates the
set is in operation. The listener
then turns to any desired station.
At the end of half an hour the
clockwork automatically shuts of
the current.
The set itself is a standard Ave-
tube affair with loop antenna
wound on the inside of the cabi-
net. It Is manufactured by Chi
cago concern.
Where do radio performers get
their gags?
