Province, are getting ready to
welcome a large detachment
of the Red Armies which is
marching toward the city with
lightning speed. The Marking
troops are reported to have already
evacuated the city.
Changsha, which was captured by
armed workers and peasants about
two weeks ago, was later retaken
by Marking troops under cover of
the bombardment of American and
British warships near Changsha.
During the few days Changsha
was in the hands of the Marking
butchers, since its evacuation by the
Red forces, Ho Chieng, the Kuomin-
tang governor of Human Province,
has been torturing and executing
daily $50 militant workers, "Com-
munist suspects" as the capitalist
press calls them.
Now it is reported that the Ruo-
mintang authorities in the city are
panicky. They certainly have rea-
son to be panicky, since the con-
sequences of their white terrorist
measures will surely not be very
pleasant for them. The municipal
archives of Changsha are said to

| men will talk their way into radio
fame, but 1t won't push music very far
into the background. And II all this
proves anything, it's just that it isn't
safe 70 pooh-pooh any suggested posi-
bilities about broadcasting these days.

hurdy-gurdy was parked directly in

bother to move him on.

an alibi that he had just been reading

Always Visits Zoo.
Confidentially, on the first sunny day
in Spring, always stroll up to the Zoo
in Central Park, which isn't far from
our studios, to see how the animals

week, but he Is the production man,
too. In order to check on the quality
of the pickup he has to keep passing
back and forth between the studio and
the control booth. He has opened and
closed o certain door thousands of
times, but on this night he walked
through 1t rather slowly, and when 1t
closed behind him the tail Of his coat
was caught.
When he stepped toward the micro
phone the coat jammed in the door.
At that moment 1t seemed he would
have to free himself-and the handle
Of the door stuck, too, n1omentarily-or
allow lapse in the program. He tried
to get loose, but it didn't work. He
might, of course, have shed his coat,
but he didn't think of that until later,
Instead, he leaned as far toward the
yawning mike as he could, raised his
voice little, and went ahead with the
announcement. The engineer, who
couldn't see from his controls just what
was happening, heard Cross voice and
boosted the volume so 1t could be heard
ut the ordinory level. It wasn't what
you'd call smooth broadcasting, but II

the diminutive maestro. o huge bunch
Of forsythia.
There's something invigorating about
seeing the first few ball games Of the
season. It doesn't make any difference
whether the games are good or bad.
AS you enter the stadium you remember,
consciously or not, the thrills you have
had in past seasons, and you antici-
pate q lot more for the one that is Just
getting under way. It's like the begin
ming Of an ocean voyage or any other
trip to which you have been looking
forward. It's that tingling feeling you
have as you begin anything Of which
you expect to get great deal Of pleas
ure. When passed q few words with
Babe Ruth down In the dugout before
the game began, gathered that even
this veteran gets special thrill out Of
the first games Of the season. You
couldn't call him exactly loouacious
about 1t, but there was a sparkle In his
eyes and a rather eager look on his
face.
An announcer before the microphone
doesn't get chance to enjoy the thrills
completely until the game is over. He
can only let himself 60 so far in his en-
thusiasm and If he gets beyond that
point he might forget he is there to do
a certain job, and that the microphone
Is waiting there for him to do 1t. Old
time sports writer's have told me they
feel the same way about it. It takes a
little more to get them genuinely ex-
cited than it does the ordinary fan,
but when they are they save the enjoy
ment of the thrill until after they have
filed their stories.
Likes Derby Thrill.
One Of the biggest thrills to which I
am looking forward this year is the
Kentucky Derby on May II. It's seri-
Gus business, covering anything that
moves as fast as horse race, or a good
foot ball or base ball game, but can't
think Of anything enjoy moreover
when know the strain will leave me
exhausted the next day.
Probably there are large number Of
people who are wondering why Milt
Cross voice sounded so strained when
he was making one Of his announce
ments in the slumber hour the other
night. His voice was strained, no doubt
Of that, and the reason is that Milt
himself was straining. The announce
ment very nearly didn't get made and
the faint beginning, with the volume
growing as Milt kept on talking, were
caused by the engineer twisting his dials
to save the situation. Now, Milt
wasn't anywhere near the mike when he
made that announcement, and II the
studios had been equipped with the old
type of microphone, 1t wouldn't have
been possible for him to be heard. They
didn't pick up words at distance unless
you shouted.
It all happened because Cross Is not

McNAMEE's QUESTION
BOX.

c. Please tell me the name of the
soprano who sang with the Armstrong
Quakers and with the Philco hour four
to six months ago.-Mrs. H. c. Gibson,
Concord, N. G.
A. believe you mean Lois Bennett,
who has recently been singing on both
these programs. However, I believe
Muriel Wilson at one time sang on both
the Quakers and Philco programs (old
series) at the same time, and she may
be the singer you have In mind. At
that time Jessica Dragonette was star
Of the Philco productions.
q. Is Floyd Gibbons q cripple and
blind?-M. J. Townsend, Schenectady
N. Y.
A. Gibbons lost his left eye while hi
was war correspondent in France, and
at the same time he was wounded In
the arm. His right eye Is still in fine
shape, and the wound In the arm did
not cripple him, as you could tell II you
ever saw him maui a typewriter when
he was turning out copy.
Q. How do announcers Let actresses
and actors "have the mike"?-Landon

own microphone. When he is making

A year ago broadcasting was notable

Is still the backbone Of the programs
the most popular people and programs
on the air have nothing to do with

been based on talk. Eighteen months,
even a year ago, no one thought a big
success could be based on talk alone
whether the talk be drama or mono
logue. But music has nothing to do
with the success Of Amos n Andy.
Theirs is one Of the simplest programs
on the air. They just sit down before
the microphone and talk the lines Of
their characters.
Floyd Gibbons is another hit. You
might almost say he has monopolized
talk. Certainly no one else can spill so
much of it in Is minutes and make all
of it understandable. In this case
lay 1t to sheer force of personality and
the ability to tell good story. And
