Behind the Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

coated with plenty of music be-
tween the snatches of dialogue.
British broadcasters. on the
other hand, are concentrating on
the difficult technical problem OF
presenting high-class plays on the
radio, with the result that more
and more good plays and novels
are being adapted for microphone
treatment. A high-water mark of
radio dramatic achievement, saws
the Yearbook of the British
Broadcasting Corporation, was
reached last year with the broad
casting of a radio version OF
Compton Mackenzie's novel, Car
nival"
George Bernard Shaw's "St
Joan" was produced for the radio
with great success by Cecil Lewis
who was an American visitor last
Winter, while George Kaufman
and Marc Connolly achieved q
success on the British radio with
"Beggar on Horseback" which
the stage play had been denied by
the London theater audience sew
eral years earlier.
Modern poetic drama was rep
resented in the B. B. c. repertory
of radio plays by Good Friday
whose author is England's new
poet laureate, John MaSefield
John Drinkwater also did a poetic
drama for the radio. Then there
were melodramatic thrillers, COM
edy drama and farce comedies
This years plans include expert
ments with such subjects as Con-
RAIDS "Typhoon." Zweig's Case OF
Sergt. Grisch< and Euchau'S
"Greenmac'
Not all the British radio dra-
matte presentations were sue
cesseS, however. On the contrary
most of them were either indif
ferently received or total failures
causing the British directors tC
say that this branch of broadcast
ing is still in an "adolescent con-
dition." For example, THE
Cherry Orchard" and other heavy
plays were found simply insult
able for broadcasting," while an
attempt to radioiZe Anthony
Hopes Prisoner of Zenda" left
something to be desired.
But the fact remains that con-
tinual activity and experiment
have gone on despite a 1929 record
that showed as many f1ops as
successes. "Indubitable hope and
promise for the future" is seen by
the British radio impresarioS. In
this country, although Mr.. Lewis
demonstrated that it could be
done when he staged a half-hour
radio version of a Shaw play
How He Lied to Her Husband
over an N. B. G. network last
Winter, it seems that little or no
attention is being paid to this
side of program radio. 10.

A good example of this is the hullAs

Slumber Music was scheduled an hour
later than usual. The program has been

in its career many bouquets have been

couldn't handle all the calls that came
In, and the letters of protests swamped
the place. Newspapers took up the
cudgels, and program executives were
forced to bow to the public will.
The same would be true II Amos N

HAMS TO HASTEN
DAY OF TELEWS|ON
Much Depends on Tinkerers,
Who Have Done So Much
for Radio.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 21-To amateur
is given much OF the credit for the radio
of today.
A great deal of it is deserved. for Il
was the young tinkerer who devised
approved or disapproved many of the
innovations that make up the modern
broadcast receivers
Now, with televiSion declared to be ir
the ofhng, these Self-Same amateurs anC
their successors are being given an op.
portunity to hasten the day of the pro.
posed radio broadcasts of scenes at q
distance-the radio movie, as it were.
Experimental radio receivers have
been available for some time, but trans.
hitting apparatus was not to be con-
sidered because Of the expense involved
Those who desired to play with tele.
vision had to resort to the sometimes
difficult feat of copying pictures from
the air lanes.
Stations Not Numerous.
Besides, television transmitting sta
lions are not very numerous, and look
ers' at distance cannot depend. as 2
rule, upon the signals for satisfactory
experimentation.
Taking into consideration the esti-
mate that there are 100000 amateurs
and experimenters as we'll as uncounteo
others who are vitality interested in tele-
vision, engineers have devised appars-
tus which may be set up and operated
at a comparatively small outlay.
1t consists OF a transmitter designed
20 SEND reproductions OF moving picture
MIN OF the silhouette type, and Is ths
result OF research work by Alexander @
Heher, chlet engineer Of the Insuline
Laboratories.
The transmitter contains a motion
picture protector using a standard film
Ihere is synchronous motor to oper-
ate the protector and turn the scanning
disk. An optical focusing system L
mounted In front of the protector and
just back OF the scanning disk.
COndensing Lens Used.
Between the scanning disk and photo
electrlc cell Is condensing lens which
FOCUSES the scanned rays OF light COM
ing from the film upon the photocell
Inc light source in the protector is a
oOO-watt stereopticon lamp.
From the photocell wires convey the
signals to the receiver, which consists
OF four-stage amplifier, mounted al
one side OF the transmitter. The ampli-
rer leeds the neon lamp Of the repro
queer. In front of the lamp is a con-
oenslng lens which focuses the neon
rays upon 16-inch scanning disc.
The received image is enlarged bv 3
magnifying glass mounted in front OF
the disc, which is turned by a motor
similar to that in the transmitter.
While this equipment is designed en-
tirely FOR MIN transmission, it can be
arranged to televise a living image
thus giving the amateur a chance b
study televisiQn from both the trans
hitting and receiving angles.

GREEK BR0ADCASTING
AIDED BY AMERICANS
Is, O0o-Watt Station at Athens to
Be Erected and Operated by
Natives of U. S.

American genius has been enlisted
by the government of Greece to install
and operate its entire broadcasting sys-
TEN, the nucleus Of which will be a new
25,000-watt station at Athens. Al
though American factories have ship
ped full equipment for broadcasting
stations to various foreign countries,
often sending engineers along TO make
the installations, this is the first con-
cession on record granting authority to
an American concern both to erect and
operate the entire broadcasting system
Of a foreign nation.
D. p. Gullette, chief engineer for
Durham 81 Co. of Philadelphia, is now
In Athens completing plans for the sta
ton there, which is expected to be
heard all over Greece and under favor
able conditions in a large part Of Eu-
rope. The amount involved in the con-
eess1on, which runs for 20 years. two
years of which will require an all-Amer-
lean personnel, was not divulged to the
Department of Commerce. Taxes i'm
posed on receiving sets will pay for the
system.
