.ELEN HAYES, who made rad

HELEN HAYES, who made radio
history over N. B. c. networks
last season in Edith Meiser's original
dramatic serial The New Penny"
announced yesterday she has again
decided to use a serial type story for
her forthcoming programs.
The popular actress, who last year
became the first important personality
of the dramatic stage to become a
regular microphone performer, has
several scripts under consideration.
Her new series will be introduced over
the N. B. c. blue network Septem-
Der %.
Prior to her ''New Penny" series,
Miss Hayes was starred in number
of radio adaptations of Broadway sue
cesses.
II found The New Penny far more
than the Others" Miss
Hayes said, land for several reasons.
"A continuous plot unfolding over
period of weeks, especially one written
for radio, gives the actors and ac-
tresses real opportunity to feel their
roles and to merge their own iden-
titles and mannerisms with those of
the characters. A serial gives the
player the same acting advantage
that he gets from appearing in a
show with long rum"

Benny in Hollywood.

EOR three reasons Jack Benny has
= decided to make Hollywood his
headquarters for the next year or SO.
When he returns to the air with Mary
Livingstone over the N. B. c. red
network in October he will face the
microphones in the screen capital
and will continue to do so for the en-
tire season.
In the first place, the comic has
signed for two more pictures with
Paramount. He has completed big
Broadcast of 1887" and shooting on
his second starrer will get under way
this week.
But reasons No. 2 and No. 3 are
really responsible for Benny's set
tling down on the West Coast. No. 2
is that he considers the sunny cline
of Southern California is just the
thing for little Joan Naomi Benny.
No. is that Mary Livingstone prefer
her native West because that's where
her family and her best friends liv-.

very troublesome, and there are certain
hours during the heat of the day when
it is difficult to handle traffic. Static
is also bad for radio reception when a
thunderstorm is near.
"Then. too, the enemy may inter-
fere. At the Signal Corps maneuvers
last June three sets were detailed to
get out back of the enemy's front line
and see what they could do in the way
of interfering with the students radio
system.
These enemy interferers were sur
prisingly active and we learned some
thing about the possibilities Of such op-
erations. This is problem which is
going to be hard to solve. OF course,
two can play at that game, and if the
enemy interferes With us he is at the
same time blocking his own radio cir
cults. We get some consolation from
such reasoning, but 1t will be empty
consolation if, when we need radio
badly, we cannot use it."
Radio as a means of communication
in war also has another and a very
serious disadvantage in that the enemy
can easily intercept messages. "This." :"
Gen. Allison says, forces us to put
almost everything into code, and this
in turn greatly delays the handling of
messages and elso gives two oppor-
tunities for errors, one when encoding
and another when DECIDING. He (the
enemy can also. by means of his
gonio-metric service locate our radio
stations with considerable accuracy"

THAT radio will play leading
role in any war in which the
United States or any other
country becomes involved has
frequently been asserted by military
and radio engineers Some inkling of
radios part in hostilities was furnished
during the World War when the chart
ing of "intercepts" enabled the allied
naval forces to know the whereabouts
of German submarines most of the
time, when the combatants during the
battle of Jutland followed a certain
courtesy of the air. by shutting down
their respective transmitters in order
to allow the enemy to clear its mes
sages, and when radio frequently guild
ed army movements from behind the
lines
Writing in the current issue Of Army
Ordnance, published here, Maj. Gen.
James B. Allison, chief of the Army
Signal Corps. describes some of the
difficulties encountered by Army radio
men in the f1eld-difflcultie which the
average listener sitting at his high
polished receiving set hardly realizes.
"Your broadcast station" Gen. AL
Nson states, "is housed in substantial
building and remains dry and at an
even temperature. The equipment. Is
firmly installed and remains in its care

liable source of power by simply throw
ing a switch The station possesses
expensive and delicate testing equip
ment, and since its retention of license
depends upon operating exactly as
licensed, it employs engineers at good
salaries to keep it SO operating.
Army radio operates under different
circumstances. 1t must be light
enough to be portable; it must take
hard knocks, rain, changes in tempera-
ture, sometimes mistreatment. It is
not surprising then that Army sets
sometimes drift off their assigned fire.
