Hollywood.-The so-caIled lowly western pictures really come close to being the backbone of the film industry. Many of our major stars have gotten their starts by chasing the bold, bad bandits across the silver screen. A few who started as film cowboys have remained such and today outrank the Gar bos, Dietrichs and Colmans in small communities where western pie lures get their big play. And, since the westerns can be made so cheaply. they never fail to return a profit. How studio executives wish they could say that about some of their other productions.
 In looking over the list of those who have started on horseback, we find Richard Dix, Noah Beery, Richard Arlen, Jack Holt. Antonio Moreno, Warner Oland, Gary Cooper, Warner Baxter, William Powell, John Boles, Wallace Beery, Neil Hamilton, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, and Phillips Holmes. Also quite a few of our feminine stars including Bebe Daniels, Lois Will son, Mary Brian, Fay Wray, Nancy Carroll, Billie Dove, Lily Damita and Sally Blanc.
 All of them have graduated from the westerns except, perhaps, for an occasional appearance. But there are some who, from their own desires, never have graduated. This list includes Tom Mix, Buck Jones, Ken Maynard, Tom Keene, Hoot Gibson and a few lesser lights. All are in the big money, too, despite the fact that little is heard of them. There was a time when Mix was the biggest money maker in Hollywood. And he still can demand much larger pay check than the majority of our scintillating stars.

 Jean, slightly upset and with her hair dripping wet. poked her head Into the adjoining booth and said, "Pm glad to meet the sister of my wig maker and will you tell her that I just came in and had the darned thing washed" Needless to say whose face was red then.

SUPERVISION OF CHAIN
PROGRAMS WEIGHED
Excessive Duplication Of Network
Features Would Be.
Avoided.

Federal supervision of chain pro-
grams, to prevent excessive duplication
Of network features for the listener,
Is being considered by the Federal
Radio Commission, although its jurts-
diction over such program features Is
seriously in doubt in view Of the anti
censorship clause of the radio law.
This issue Of program sameness",
which confronted the commission when
it first was created in 1927, has beer
resurrected by Commissioner Harold A.
Lafount whose action was motivated
by complaints from listeners and men,
bers of Congress In certain areas. His
proposal, now being studied by the
commissions lawyers, is that no ad-
ditional stations be added to any net
work without commission consent
At the same time Mr.. Lafount offered
q second resolution providing that
program shall not be broadcast stimuli
taneously over two or more stations in
the same city without the consent OF
the commission. This was designed to
strike at cooperative" programs which
apparently have made headway in the
Far West. wherein several local stations
broadcast identical features to gain
maximum audiences for the CONNER
cial sponsor. The resolution also was
referred to the commissions legal
division
The commission has never exercised
control over chain programs, despite
previous consideration of the duplica-
tion problem, because the radio law
expressly prohibits it from exercising
censorship over programs. There is a
school of thought on the commission.
however, that 1t can take into account
such matters as this under the board
powers given it to so allocate facilities
in the service public interest" More
over, it always has felt that chain pro-
grams are Of the highest quality and
therefore should not be restricted.
The complaints against duplication
seem to be restricted to certain areas
where there are numerous stations, and
consequently a generous number OF
chain outlets. But in certain other
areas complaints have been received
about the lack of network programs
and features Listeners in some isolated
areas deprecate the fact local stations
are not affiliated with one or the other
networks and that the high-powered
stations carrying chain programs can
not be picked up clearly In other sec
tions the complaint has arisen that.
even though local stations are network
outlets. they do not broadcast particu-
lar chain features.

a filter in the power line supply
also is desirable. This type Of
antenna," he asserted, should
give reasonably clear reception
from nearby stations to many
listeners now troubled with elec-
trical noise caused by local elec-
trical machinery"
The new micrOphone was de-
veloped by the Brush Develop
ment Co. of Cleveland, which
produced the first commercial
arc light, the first generator and
the first storage battery. It was
developed by Alfred L. Williams,
president of the company and a
former submarine commander in
the British Navy. Said to be of
unprecedentedly high fidelity, it
differs from old-style micro
phones in that it can Withstand
severe joltS and radical changes
in temperature.
In radios early days, the micro
phone was most delicate inStru-
ment. Even a loud shout into
one might cause it to blow out"
While later models were more
rugged, the Brush company
claims that its product can be
deliberately thrown on hard floor
or dipped in water without ef-
fecting its working parts.

Newly attracted to radio, after

various new devices that por-
tend vast Improvements in boil,
transmission and reception OF

Two of these newest innova-
tions have to do with antennas-
one adapted for use of station,
in putting more "wallop" behind
their signals without increases
in power, and the other an at
tachment for aerials used with
radio receivers to eliminate man
made" interference. The third
is a new type of indestructible
microphone, using as its CHIEF
element Rochelle salts, which are
produced from the dregs of im-
ported wine.
The new station antenna, de-
veloped by the Westinghouse Co.
is hailed by its makers as the
first major radio achievement Of
the new year. Apparently apply
ing the wave bending" accom-
| plishing of Marconi announced
last Summer to the broadcastine

is said to double the sigma
strength of stations without in
creasing their licensed powers
The antenna also promises ul-
timately to solve the problem o1

cipal nemesis of good long-range
reception.

Federal Radio Commissioner Har

Mr.. Lafount said the commits

much to eliminate interference
but that this form of trouble car

said there are three genera
sources of interference, namely
