GtCOLOS ECLIPSED AS WALTZ REVIVAL
 PEPS OLD TIMERS

LONDON, Sept. 1-Along with the bowler hat and longer skirts re- enters the dance of another day!
 The waltz, dainty, graceful poet " of motion associated with Vien- na and the moonlight has come back into it's own and is all the rage in London's dance places.
 And, with lessened interest in the tango, the Cuban rumba, the fox trot and jazz steps, exist the smooth haired gigolo and glistening boy in his twenties from some of his long sustained popularity.
 The popular partner at London's balls nowadays, is the middle-aged man who learned to waltz back in the days when gentlemen carried handkerchiefs in their right hands while dancing, so as not to soil a lady's gown.
 The two most popular bits of music these days are the Blue Danube and the Merry Widow waltz, a close second.
 There are two kinds of waltzing the rapid whirling waltz found on the continent, a beautiful dance when executed perfectly, and the less spectacular slow rhythmic step seen more frequently in America.

were shown on the screen in the United States.
 In recognition of his services as editor of the war book of AL bert, King of the Belgians, Sir Hall was made an officer of the Order of Leopold, He was created a knight in the 1918 birthday list of honors of King George for his efforts to present the British as- pect of the war to American readers.
 During the war he devoted him. self almost exclusively to British propaganda in the United States, writing many articles which were published in a syndicate of news papers. He also prepared, at the request of the British government, the scenario of the official na- tional war film.
 Is Given Honor
 When David Lloyd George re- tired as premier he included Sir Hall in his final list of honors, citing him for membership in the order of the Companions of Honor in recognition of his services in literature.
 Sir Hall visited the United States several times and on one occasion went to Canada as am- bassador of the British Authors League to negotiate terms with the Dominion government relative to Canadian copyright.
 Hall Caine embodied that rather rare combination-the man Of let ters and the man of business. He knew how to drive a bargain with publisher, film producer or theatrical enterpreneur. He had an excellent idea of arousing con- troversies likely to bring his works into more prominence. His eX- cursions in this direction at one time earned him the nickname of ''The Boomster."
 He had a lively quarrel with the booksellers at the time of the publication of "The Woman Thou Gayest Me" and the booksellers for a time refused to stock the work. Punch declared the book ought to be renamed 'The Woman Thou Wouldst Not Give Me
 In personal appearance Caine was rather striking and he made the most of it. A black broad -brimmed slouch hat and sable cloak with an ample cape added to the general effect of his flowing locks, sunken eyes and pointed beard.

 The first writings of Sir Hall to attract attention were Son. nets of Three Centuries" and "Recollections of Rossetti," both published in 1882, and followed a year later by Life of Coleridge' and "Cobwebs of Criticism"
 Novels Dramatized
 For nearly fifty years thereafter he produced novels and plays, many of the latter being drama tized versions of his books. One of his early successes was The Deemster," a story of early life on the Isle of Man Increased pop ularity and greater success at tended the publication of The ManXman."
 These and few others firmly established the reputation of Sir Hall and laid the foundation for his fortune. He acquired Greeba Castle, one of the finest residences on the Isle of Man and for some years sat in the House of Keys, the Manx parliament.
 The native Manx population, es- pecially those whose insular pride and prejudice had not swamped by the. annual invasion of excursion ists from the rest of Britain, did not appreciate the advertising which the island received from Hall Gaines writings. They were inclined to reproach him for hav- ing portrayed his principal ManX heroine as fallen woman, and another character as a canting humbug
 The islanders, proud of the his tory and traditions of their birth place, were annoyed at the liberties which the author took with time and place. In "The ManXman,"
 
 for example, he mixed eighteenth century customs with the para phernalia of the modern excur- zionist from Lancashire in a most happy -go-lucky manner.
 Others of Sir Halls better known works include The Christian" The Eternal City," 'The Prodical Son." "The Woman Thou Gavest Me" "The Bondman," T e Scapegoat," "The White Prophet, and The Master of Men
 Stories Filmed
 He wrote Darby and Joan, as an original film story and in addition ''The Christian The Manxman" and 'The Prodigal Son" were filmed in Great Britain, while "The Eternal City" The Deemster," "The Christian and .The Woman Thou Gavest Me"

RADIO PRICE CUTTING
IN 1929 EXPLAINED
Census Bureau Gives Final Figures
Outlining overproduction That
Led to Dumping.

From the Bureau of the Census last
week came final figures showing deliv-
cries by manufacturers of radio equip
ment, monographs, parts and access
series in 1929 and giving some true in
dications of the overproduction that led
to dumping and price-cutting early in
1890. Shipments by American manu-
facturers were made up as follows
4,938,09 radio sets of tube type, but
not including tubes, valued at $780,
602, 1862; 152.106 radio-phonograph COM
binations, $22, 1893, 7O2; other type re-
ceiving sets, $472, 1908; 60O,872 phono-
graphs, $20,559,516; 3,301,314 loud
speakers, $30,279, 287: 5,204,505 radio
transformers, $9,478,891: radio parts
and accessories, 1927 ,008; monograph
cabinets, records, parts and accessories,
$43, $3.50; 2,243 transmitting sets, S.
788,O77.
The aggregate value of all at whole
sale was $439, 961 ,776; at retail the figure
probably should be doubled. The whole
sale value for 1929 compared with a
wholesale value of $270, 497 ,270 in 1927,
the preceding year for this manufacture
ers' census. One of the most interesting
fact in this report is that photograph
sales declined from 1,015,045, valued at
$40, 825,708, in 1927, to 600,872, valued
at $20,559, sic, in 1929, while radio-pho-
nograph combinations increased from
81 ,342, valued at $6,416,462 in 1927, to
152, LOG, valued at $22, 1913, 702, in 1929.

EXTENSIONS MADE ON
RADIOTELE GRAPH
Almost instantaneous Communica-
ton With Leading Cities of the
World Is Now Possible.

Year-end extensions have brought
Americas far-fung radiotelegraph sys-
TENS into practically instantaneous
communication with the capitals and
leading cities of nearly every important
country on the face of the globe.
Coincidently the radiotelegraph Serv-
ices of both North and South America
were being extended apace, with the
object in view, as a telephone official
recently told the Federal Radio Com
mission, of making it possible for amy
one, anywhere, to pick up telephone
and talk to anyone else, anywhere else,
clearly and quickly, and at reasonable
cost"
Close on the heels of the opening
late in November of a radiotelegraph
Circuit directly connecting New York
and Moscow, the Radio Corporation of
America early in December inaugurated
its New York-Prague and San Fran
cisco-Shanghai direct circuits. On De-
cember the Mackay Radio & Tele-
Telephone & Telegraph Corporation,
opened its new stations at Manila for
direct contact with San Francisco
Proposed 1881 radiotelegraph extern
Sions include circuits to Cape Town and
Mukden and possibly various points in
Switzerland among the few places not
now reached directly by American radio
stations. They also include an inter-
linking of many American cities by
radio for message traffic between them
and for feeding messages into the trans
oceanic circuits.
Only last week the telephone people
appeared before the Federal Radio Com
mission to seek authority to use radio
waves for direct telephone commune
cation with tugboats and small harbor
craft through stations to be erected at
Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seat
tie, and later at New York and other
Eastern ports.
The telephone company already is at
work on a new station on the Pacific
Coast which, by January, 1882, will con-
meet all the connected telephones of
North America with the telephone sys-
tenn of Hawaii, and which eventually
will connect also with Alaska, the Phil
ippines, Japan and Australia. A short
wave station for telephone service to
the Bermuda Islands will also be erect
ed as soon as authorized by the Radio
Commission.

SHORT WAVES SUIT
RULING TOMORROW
Decision Expected to Settle
Action Taken on Domestic
Radio Telegraph Rights.
BY ROBERT MACK.

The fate of the continental short
waves for use in setting up domestic
radio telegraph services competitive
with the established wire services Of
the Western Union and Postal COM
panies will be determined by the courts
next week after two years of litigation.
Tomorrow, it is learned on good au-
thority, the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia will hand Gown it's
opinion in this vital case, in which the
Radio Corporation of America and the
Mackay Radio Telegraph Co., a part of
the International Telephone & Tele-
graph Co., are combating the Federal
Radio Commissions distribution of
these fabulously valuable channels.
Awarded Forty Channels.
The commission in June, 1923. awarded
to the Universal Wireless Communica-
tons Co., Inc, a newcomer in the COM
munications field, 40 of the 88 short
wave channels available to the Nation
for point-to-point communication. r.
G. A. and Mackay also had applied for
nationwide services, as well as two
other companies which since have gone
into the hands of receivers.
Universal has fallen by the Wayside,
and its 40 channels, with which it was
pledged to link 112 cities of the Nation
| by 1882, are thrown back into the radio
hopper. r. G. A, Mackay and Inter-
city Radio Telegraph Co, the latter
now in financially straitened condition,
seek to divide the channels. The
courts opinion will tell this story.
Must BE Used Comparatively.
The continental short waves are the
channels lying between 1900 and 5000
kilocycles, just beyond the extremity Of
the broadcast band. Because they have
an interference range over the entire
continent they must be used co-opera-
lively with other North American ma
| tons.
OF the aggregate available to this
country SO were set aside for public
point-to-point service by the commits
sion, Of which 40 were assigned Uni
verSal and 20 to Press Wireless, Inc, for
the setting up of domestic news dis
seminating network to round out its
international news radio service. r. G.
A. was given only a portion OF its re-
quest, while Mackay was denied out
| right, along with Intercity.

BEFORE he got into radio Edwin M.
Whitney had tried a good MANY
things in the entertainment world at

quartet. During the Spanish-Ameri-
can War he had been a band sergeant.
And at one time in his career he had
been bicycle racer.
At the broadcasting studios he Is

Jimmy Norton of "Harbor Lights" and
half a dozen other fellows in Real

He has played Capt. Jimmy as every
thing from STRIPPING to a quavering
ancient: his Bill Perkins is tongue
tied and his Grandpa Overlook creaks
more in speaking even than Capt.
Jimmy. Upon occasion he has
portrayed a squalling baby, and he is
marked as especially good in initiating
the buzzing of flies, mosquitoes and
bees. For years he has been master
Of dozen dialects, and he can work
any sound effect machine in the place.
But in all his experience in radio he
has never been asked to sing until a
recent Monday night. In the early
part Of the evening they scheduled him
to sing on two different programs-in
character, Of course. and in one case
the order was make 1t pretty bad y

quaveringly, We're Tenting Tonight

boiled geologist from Pennsylvania
who was in the studios, looked as If he
were about to weep. And a couple OF
other men did. One was Al Bach, who
announced the program.
