THOUGH John Charles Thomas
n sang for his first studio au-
dience in his Christmas night
broadcast, he thinks that visible
listeners should be barred.
Radio, thinks Mr.. Thomas, is
the most intimate entertainment
of them all, for it enters the home,
offering entertainment designed to
the individual rather than one Sc
lective group.
People who live in penthouses
far above the blare of city traffic
enjoy it from the samc viewpoint
as the farmer who tills the soil
in the lowlands," the singer says.
But 1t certainly is not designed
for a few hundred whose curiosity
leads them to be spectators at
broadcast.
Il believe that visitors at the
studios should be banned on the
basis that the artist, in trying to
entertain the spectator, is likely
to forget the much larger listen
ing audience. Personally, during
a broadcast, my attention is al
ways focused on the man at the
controls, and this would mean in
most instances that my back
would be to the audience. But 1
always face the control engineer.
He's the best friend I have in the
radio broadcast"
Announcement Of the winner of

outstanding contribution in con-
nection with the national affairs
of business or the professions" is

XXTHEN youthful Roslyn SLIDER
wv speaks of her role as Rosie
in THE Goldbergs" as "the out
standing success of my life" it's
not quite as funny as it sounds
to her elders. For Roslyn has
seen good bit of life from behind
the microphone, and has per-
formed in scores of programs since
her air debut in 1927.
She lives with her parents in
New York and attends the Pro-
fessional Children's School. At
odd times, she has appeared brief
ly in stage productions. She loves
to dance and hike, writes plays,
admires President Roosevelt and
Helen Keller, and adores claret
lemonade.
RoSlyn still recalls with amuSe-
ment her first trip to broadcast
ing studio. She spied a xylophone
and proceeded to play Sweet
Rosy OGrady" while a coast-to-
coast program was going on. A
sound engineer rushed out and
stopped her on that occasion, but
since then Roslyn has devised
other ways of making herself
heard over the networks.
