DLAnNass ,t for .1 field test of high
| some time next year are being
L developed under direction of
an inter-company committee, the per-
sonnet of which was announced today
by David Sarnoff, president of the
Radio Corporation of America.
The committee, headed by DR.. w.
r. G. Baker, vice president and gen.
eral manager Of the R-C-A-Victor di-
vision of RCA Manufacturing Co.,
Inc, will draw on the broadcasting,
and manufacturing ex-
formulating the details Of the field
test. Five other leading authorities on
radio and electronics who will serve
with DR.. Baker are r. r. Beal, R-C-A
research supervisor: C. w. Horn, di-
rector of research and development,
and O. B. Hanson, chief engineer for
the National Broadcasting Company;
C. H. Taylor, vice president in charge
of engineering for r. c. A. COMMUNE
cations, Inc, and j. C. Warner, vice
president and general manager Of the
Radiotron division of R-C-A Manufac-
turing Co, Inc.
In statement last May announcing
R-CA's plan to conduct a field test on
high definition television. Sarnof
pointed out that from II to Is months
would be required for the construction
of transmitter and experimental re-
ceiving sets, and that then R-C-A
would be in position to test televi-
sion possibilities under actual operat-
ing conditions.
Nobody knows how long 1t will take
to iron out some of the deep wrinkles
in televiSion as we know 1t today"
DR.. Baker said. I'VE have made a
great deal of progress in our research
laboratories during the past three
years, and we hope that the experience
gained in the field test will enable us
to determine more definitely the pos
sibilities of television service with
standards that will be acceptable to
the American public.
I'm the meantime there are innum-
cradle problems both technical and
non-technical that can only be solved
through the operation of controlled
field test. We must study transmits
sion and reception factors. We must
design and redesign, build and rebuild
apparatus, and We must evolve an
entirely new broadcasting technique.
While the difficulties are many, we
are confident of the ultimate results. 3"

VERY HUMAN
STAR is MISS
CUMMINGS

II LOVE to ride in airplanes. It's
such a swell excuse for chewing
gum"
That is Constance Cummings speak
ing. on her arrival at Washington Air
port yesterday morning, and that
should give you some sort of an idea
about the very human. very real and
very nkable person Constance Cum
mings is.
Right away you are glad for her.
that she has come great distance
up the ladder in the past six years,
from doing one-two-three-and-kick *
with a line of girls in the first Little
Show back in 1929, to her present
position of some eminence as leading
lady of one of New York's hit shows,
Accent on Youth"
You are glad she has been hailed
as one of the leading examples OF the
invigorating new blood of the thea
ter. and you can see why she has been.
Certainly she is invigorating; the smile
alone is that.
Miss Cummings, when she steps
from the plane, does not look like a
young lady who left Broadway several
years back to spend two years in Hol-
lywood and attain motion picture
stardom. then left Hollywood for Eng
land and movie making with Gau-
mont British. made another trip to
uolluuond rafrrpp1 tn Epoland for q
time. finally to return to Broadway
last Christmas night and have her
name in lights and be praised by the
critics as the person who puts much
vitality into Accent on Youth"
She looks like some ones charming
girl friend or wife. Which is as ii
should be, for she is very much mar
ried to Benn w. Levy. the English
playwright. whom she met her first
time in Hollywood.
She has nice eyes. She has also a
nice voice, but she refuses to use it to
deliver an opinion on Huey Long.
I'm not particularly interested in
politics. anyway" she says. But Mrs.
Levy will and does say something nice
about the warmth of the Washington
weather which greeted her.
There is manuscript under her
arm-something called "Aphra Behn"
but she has had no chance to read
it yet. and besides has no definite plans
for the future, because, as she says,
Accent on Youth" is going better
than ever"
She has to search for the baggage
claim check. She is sure she had one
once. All, here it is, and Constance is

TWO BRIGHT

VXTHEN Frank X. Silk and Edna
w Dee come to town you know

tainment at the Gayety, even though
you choose to sleep through the rest
of the show Silk Stocking Revue"
the current attraction, in some spots,
will not interfere, if you do feel
drowsy, but Miss Dee and Mr.. Silk
are here, so, burlesque fans, give
three rousing cheers.
The viVacious, itian-treSSed orig
inal Ha-Cha" girl is in top form. and
sells her numbers as no one but Edna
Dee can. If you have seen her you
will need no urging to betake your
self to the Gayety and see her again.
You will be there. Rita Zane, Eva
Osborne and Ella Sears are the other
girls present They'll pass
The comedy belongs to Frank Silk
almost in entirety. He, of course,
has the able assistance of Tom Bundy,
a straight man, who knows that
working with comedian consists of
something more than feeding" him
lines. Tom does the straight roles
in q finished and thorough manner
So. between them, they make some
hilarious comedy scenes.
Silk can take old skits and give
them an appearance of freshness,
and take new skits and give them an
originality that no one else can. Lou
Denny also assists in the straight
roles, Paul Niles displays a nicer
voice than many which have been
heard at the Gayety in recent weeks,
and Sam Micals and Jim Bennett are
a couple of comedians. In another
show they might be better, but Frank
Silk completely overshadows them
here.

straight form, with touch of orig
inality in certain movements. The
"Divertimento," inspired, as he an
nounces by Ia Muse de Tschaikowsky,"
has little relation to that composers
fervant style. except the use of some
melodic strains on which to base a
modernistic development.
The two movements of the violin
concerto, Aria and Capriccio," which
were selected to be performed, were
not satisfactory in their isolation from
the rest of the concerto, although the
aria was a proper pendant Tor the
Capriccio, with its nlelodic undercur-
rent The Capriccio was technically
intricate in Stravinsky's Well-known
style.
THE final group, comprising ar
L rangements of some of his already
known numbers. was more the
Stravinsky, whose Fire Bird" and
"Petruchka" were revelation of tonal
color in the hands of musical
painter. The lovely "AirS du Ros-
signol," the "Berceuse" and the fiery
"Danse Russo" which was repeated
were numbers that could be heard
again and again with constant
pleasure.
A clever workman and man Of
ideas, Stravinsky vacillates between
the natural flow of his genius and a
sense of convention, which retards
the full play of his musical powers.
At least, that was present in the pro-
gram of last night, which was at all
times interesting, yet the numbers
chosen were often barren of the grace
and fantasy on which his fame rests.
A superb pianist, his accompaniments
were real delight and left the wish
to hear him asa soloist.
