The Washington times., 1930-05-26

Radio was glorified on the
stage the past season with Re
mote Control" a drama with Its
lively action set in a broadcast
ing studio. 1t was a mild hit.
Now we are to have another
for Eddie Dowling, Broadway
comedian playwright, announced
that "Cyrano, the Second" which
he has written in collaboration
with Buddy Doyle, concerns a
radio announcer.
The central figure is so far
from what a popular radio an.
nouncer should be, or rather so
lacking in the classic features Of
the microphone have in abund-
ance, that his superiors hire a
far more likely-looking gentleman
to impersonate the ugly duckling
in public.
In this, Eddie DoWling believes,
lies a situation that lends itself
to romance and heart throbs ga
lore. Moreover, it has a modern
touch.
