with President Roosevelt's
fifty,second birthday a thing of
the past. the big problem today
was how the White House staff
would do any work.
The Executive Mansion is
crammed, practically from cellar
to garret, with gifts Of all sorts
from the American people.
The Presidents Christmas mail
set new records, but it dwindled
into insignificance by comparison
with that which marked The birth
day celebration. The many tributes
were a strong indication that
he Is more popular throughout
the country than ever.
Speaks on Radio
In order to relieve the strain
on his staff, the President went
on the air to thank the donors
of the many gifts and the host
of well wiSherS.
More than 5000 dinners, dances
and celebrations were give n
throughout the country in honor
of his birthday, and as a means
of establishing the Warm Springs
Foundation on a solid basis. The
two million dollars necessary for
that purpose was more than sub
scribed.
The President told the radio
public last night that the fund
would enrich the lives Of many
crippled children. His own birth
day dinner was spent with his "old
gang" those who have been with
him for years, since he ran for

HEAVY LOSSES
SEEN RESULT
Of ORDER
Regulation Laid to President
BY Official; To Use Mail
For Applications

Irate over the new liquor regu.
lation banning beer oars, scores Of
proprietorS of hotels, restaurants,
taverns and beer parlors are filing
protests at the District Building
over the ruling.
Pointing out that with the re.
turn Of legal liquor there will be
no demand for 80 beer when the
higher voltage brew is available,
it is claimed that the ban on bars
will result in a loss of hundreds
of thousands of dollars spent for
bars and equipment which must
be scrapped under the new regu.
lation.
In answer to these protests, AS,
sistant Corporation Counsel Ver.
non West pointed out that per.
sons starting to sell the 80 bev.
erage were warned at the time to
"go easy"
Blamed on Roosevelt
The regulation was adopted,
Mr.. West pointed out, in line
with the Presidents policy Of
mo bars and no saloons"
The House today passed the
appropriation of $26,665 for en-,
forcing the liquor law here with.
out dissenting vote and the
measure was then sent over to
the Senate.
The appropriation includes $23,.
600 for the use of the District
Alcohol Beverage Control Board
and $3,665 for employment Of
corporation counsel to assist the
board.
During the House consideration
OF the bill, Representative John
J. Cochran CD of Missouri,
launched fiery attack on the
prices charged for whisky by
the distillers.
To Use the Mails
With the expectation that
license applications for liquor
dealers will be received this week
it was decided today that all ap.
pications must be mailed in to
avoid the huge crowds which
packed the District Building when
30 beer was made legal.
Use of the mails will facilitate
matters, it was pointed out.
The House District Committee
today tabled action on President
Roosevelt'S recommendations for
amendments to the District liquor
law when it was learned that the
Commissioners are planning on
comforting with the President and
the Attorney General on the sub.

True To
Type
Radio in Theater
Defeats End Of
Radio
BY GILBERT SELDES

~ Not exactly afraid Of every
thing that's new, I still hope
that the radio broadcasters
who are hiring a theater, to
which they will admit audi
enceS free for the purpose OF
observing radio stars in action,
will think once more. 1t is
asking too much that they
shall think of the legitimate
theater-no one has thought
Of the legitimate theater, IN
that caring way, for years,
and after years the poor old
theater, finding that it had to
think for itself, has staged a
magnificent comeback. But let
radio think of itself.
About a year and a half ago
! began to be annoyed by jokes
on the air which I couldn't
hear. I knew they were jokes
because I heard laughter from
the studio. sat, more STUPID
than usual, waiting for some
thing funny to begin, and as
often as not, what followed
the laughter was not funny.
Once in a while it wasn't even
meant to be funny. I pro-
tested then, in this column,
against the new habit of radio:
playing not for the great IN
visible audience" which it ad-
dressed, but to the small audi
Nnee in the studio. I still
think the protest justified.
Laugh, Homebody, L 5h
It is justified because the
moment you begin to play for
the studio audience you defeat
the technique of radio-and it's
purpose, which is to entertain
by sound, not by sight. There
is the problem of studio
laughter, for instance. A few
days ago I was in studio and
heard funny speech. I heard
also the laughter of the or
chestra in the studio-genuine
spontaneous laughter-the or
chestra had not heard the re-
hearsal. Yet I was told by
some who listened at home
that the laughter sounded
spurious and forced.
That is only a detail. The
greater thing is this: a hundred
people together will laugh
louder and longer than you or I
alone with our radio. And the
laughter of the hundred must
end before the Jokes begin
again-meaning that to you
and me at home only a blank
space, after we have done laugh
ing, will come. Our satisfaction
in the radio will diminish. We
will feel that we have not got
all the program had to give us.
We felt that way in the early
days of the talkies, when there
were passages with speech and
passages of silent movies. We
felt cheated.
The Ear-Not the Eye
A good director of silent pic
tures never made you feel that
he lacked or felt the need Of
speech. Chaplin, for instance,
hardly ever moved his lips. And
q good director of radio ought
to make you feel that with
sound he can do anything
making you smell corned beef
and cabbage on the stove or feel
how rapturously beautiful a
heroine may be or how sharp
the blade of a dagger. If he
can't do that he hasn't learned
his Job completely. And if he
turns to the audience in the
studio. to show them anything
appealing to the eye instead OF
sfi1e ear-he will forget his
Norirne business altogether.
