Evening star., 1936-03-08

cast visitors don't chat during the'
show, either. And no lateconner ever
trips over your new shoes getting to his
place, for the simple reason that If
he doesn't arrive on time, he stays out
side, for the studio doors are closed
five minutes before the show goes on
the air.
Doubtless some of the responsibility
for the quiet orderliness of the audi
ences down in Radio City and in the
radio theaters at Times Square may
be attributed to the fact that the ma
jority in the audience are out-of-
towners to whom the actual processes
of broadcasting are an all-absorblng
novelty. And the chances are that
they are thoroughly aware Of the pres
ence of that cold-blooded little micro
phone which hears everything and is
ready to pass all it hears along to a
world which is all ears these days. But
whatever the cause. the effect adds up
to the credit of the show and the
pleasure of the listeners.
