Home in Good Taste
By SARA HILAND.

There is nothing more puzzling to the
ment of the windows, especially If they
are not of the regulation type, and the
old-time bay has caused more than one
family argument.
One member of the family thinks one
pair of draperies sufficient, while an
other VOWS she will not enter the room
unless there are two pairs. So what is
there to do but to establish a rule by
which this may be determined?
If there is wall space of more than
two inches in width, 1t is necessary to

ROBINSON URGES
AIR EQUALIZATION.
Commissioner, Favoriny Re.
apportionment, Would AboI-
ish 10 Cleared Channels.
BY ROBERT MACK.

Equalization of the big fellows" and
the "underdogs" in radio broadcastins,
through reapportionment of facilities,
Is the aim Of Federal Radio Commits
sioner Ira Z. Robinson.
In his first interview since his ap-
pointment two years ago, Commissioner
Robinson said he would propose to the
commission that the 40 cleared cham
nels set aside for the exclusive use Of
high-powered stations be abolished. He
will advocate that they be devoted to
regional services, and predicts that
the public then will be more adequately
served and the radio problem solved.
Always an opponent of high-power
and cleared channels, Judge Robinson Is
convinced that the present set-up Of
stations has failed the interests Of the
public. He believes that regional sta
tons of moderate power scattered
throughout the country can give the
public more diversified and superior
service. He deplores the assignment Of
40 of the 80 channels available to the
United States for the individual use Of
high-powered stations during evening
hours.
st favor power comparable to the
area served" he said. There is only
one practical solution to the radio
problem and that is through depend
able regional stations. There are more
than 600 existing stationS-all in q
sense protected by the radio act-to be
taken care of in any reallocation."
The great national networks. accord
ing to Judge Robinson, would not be
"hurt" under his plan. The National
Broadcasting Co., however, is inclined
to differ with that view.

GIRL IS VERSATILE
ARTIST OF RADIO
RosaIie Greene Has Been on
Air in Thousands
of Roles.

NEW YORK [P).-Rosalie Greene is
radios girl of thousand and one roles.
Ideally fitted for the part she takes
in providing entertainment for chain
broadcast listeners, this young and
beautiful actress really is a veteran OF
the air. For six years she has been IN
the studio, playing hundreds of char
acters, most Of them of an emotional
type.
to record all of the different persons
she has been before the microphone
She herself estimates that in the last
two and half years the number easily
totals 500, and this does not take into
consideration her other radio years.
Began in College.
Miss Greene began in radio while in
college. She went up slowly but surely
winning the honor of having the per
feet radio voice" while on the way, and
now is a staff artist of the National
BroadcaSting Co. The majority of the
time has been devoted to radio, with
only a few weeks out for the stage
long enough" she declared, Ito find
out that preferred broadcasting."
She was a sophomore at the New
York State College, at Albany, when
opportunity knocked. WGY, Science
tady, was seeking a leading lady. II
requested the faculty of the college to
supply talent for additions. OF course
only seniors were selected, but Miss
Greene happened to be sent along. She
won. and two weeks after the tests
WGY announced that she would take
the leading roles in its plays.
Appeared at WGY.
Her course at college was intended tc
At her for teaching, but radio seemed
to get the upper hand. For three year:
she appeared in the WGY plays. Going
home to Bay Shore, Long Island, she
soon fitted into broadcasting in nearby
New York City. She has played 81
WOR and VIGIL and other stations.
Any one of her talent could not for
ever be kept from the top. Her ability
got her a place on the N. B. G. staff
where she participates in such programs
as the Eveready hour, Famous Love!
of History, At the Captains Table. anc
the Miniature Theater.
Voice Is Rich.
Her natural voice is a rich contralto
1t can be soprano II need be. II
fact, in one half-hour program she wa:
an S-year- boy, a girl of the sweet
heart age, and a spinster OF unrevealee
years.
Five feet four inches tall and weigh
ing l26 pounds, she might be described
as fitting exactly the brunette type o
dream girl. Confidentially, her smile
brings real dimpleS to her rosy cheeks.
But of all the roles she has portrayed
she got her biggest thrill as Joan o
Arc in the first of the Salute pro
grams.

time IN the five years that Miss Croker

BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

Samson and Delilah," in a re-
cent Philco hour.
According to the stories that
circulated over the grapevine"
route of the G. B. s., Miss Brice
did not appear in the broadcast
ing studios until one minute be-
fore she and Burbig were Sched-
uled to present their sketch. The
studio officials in the meantime
were frantically searching for the
comedienne, and Milt Gross, who
wrote the burleSque, was nervous
ly attempting to revise the script.
But, like the hero in the old
Western dramas, Miss Brice
showed up Gin the nick of time"
Just a few seconds before she was
to go on the air she dashed into
the studio, in stage costume, and
breathleSSly exclaimed, 81 forgot

It seems that Cook one morning
recently in his dish Of foolish

rum prohibition curse" and re-
ferred to liquor enforcement as

she received a reply that the
comedian had been instructed to
say nothing more about prohibit
