Things, generally, are not going so

London a much desired opportunity

That Shakespeare Feud.
"HOS Shakespeare, anyhow


That's what New Yorks radio
circles are asking amusedly this week,
with two Of the major networks en-
gagged in the rivalry Of broadcasting
Shakespearean plays at practically the
doing something novel for the Ameri-
can radio audience.
1t all began early this month when
Columbia Broadcasting System an
nounced 1t was engaging leading play
ers Of stage and screen for a series OF
Shakespearean dramas adapted spe-
cially for radio to start July II and
to run for eight Mondys. from 8 to 9
pm, Eastern standard time, over its
Nationwide network c. B. S. an
nounced this as something new in
American radio
Then National Broadcasting Co.,
taking umbrage at the c. B. S. claim
Of novelty, issued a press release an
nouncing that John Barrymore, start
ing June 81, would present a series Of
six Shakespearean radio dramas, also
on Mondays, from $50 to 9:15 pm,
Eastern standard time. But N B. C.
had to rub it into Columbia not only
by getting three-week head start, but
by asserting that N. B. c. was first
to bring Shakespeare to the American
radio audience, having presented 70
radio performances of the Bard of
Avon's plays during the last eight
years.
The overlapping time of the broad
casts on the rival networks means the
radio audience must choose, after July
H. one or the other for its Monday
evening entertainment, for it can
hardly listen to both.

Hat Worries Over Now.

NO LONGER vii there be frantic
last-minute hat hunt on the
Prof Quiz show.
A hat Is vital piece of properly
for the show All the questions given
the contestants are placed in it, to be
drawn out round by round Yet.
special hat never has been set aside
for the purpose Generally. it WAS
borrowed hastily from any nearby
head at the last minute before air
time. When no one else could be
found to contribute. Lee Little, who
helps produce the Prof Quiz show,
usually was the man who had to sup
ply the question box As result,
Lee had to buy new hat almost each
week In the excitement his hats
generally were dashed, vrinkled or
soiled.
However, Lee stood it until recently
when the show went to Charlottesville
for temporary stay. The usual
last-minute request came through for
Lees hat. He looked at his brand
new straw sailor, and he looked at the
5000 people In the stadium, waiting
to witness the broadcast. For once
he refused to give up his hat.
The station manager Of WBT
stepped in at that point with an
ancient relic he had used for working
around in the garden 1t saved the
day. And when the show was over,
the station manager donated the
ancient head piece as a permanent
question hat.
