In EARLY INYESTMENT

THE DUCK" is a play which is
absolutely essential sometimes in
order to make a contract. It con-
sists Of giving UP an early trick in
q suit so that all Of the remaining
tricks in it can be Won. There are
situations in which a suit cannot be
brought home by any other means,
lust as there are contracts which
:a1not be made except by bringing

Young Comics Rare.

CINGERS and instrumentalists and
even announcers come young in
radio, but the hardest job network
moguls have Is to find young comedi-
ans. For the most part, successful
comics are men and women of middle
age, persons with years Of stage ex-
perience behind them
Timing, material and the ability to
gauge an audience are the three es-
sentials of comedy" says Joe Penner,
"and young person is not likely to
be as well acquainted with these
fundamentals as a veteran of many
years on the stage"
Bob Hope, Henry Youngman and
Milton Berle, all in their early 30s, are
the only youthful air comics.
Performers like Eddie Cantor. AL
Jolson, Jack Benny, Fred Allen. Tim
Ryan, w. C. Fields, Phil Baker, Ben
Bernie, Willie Howard, are not dod-
dering old men, but they spent years
on the stage. many Of them starting
as mere children, before they took to
radio.
The old days differed from the
present age says Joe. There were
no overnight sensations then, and
comedians spent years on small-town
stages learning their business like an
apprentice carpenter before they ever
got big-town break. Consequently,
when the big chance came they were
prepared for it,"

other types Of training. Cornell Uni
versity offers training in the same
subjects as those taught at Michigan.
Columbia University has a course in
radio education in its Teachers COL
lege, and this semester starts a course
in radio writing New York University
is much more active, having a veritable
broadcast laboratory where actual ex-
perience supplements the training
given by experienced radio men.
N. Y. U. calls this department a radio
workshop, and it has been conducted
in cooperation with the w. P. AS

directed by the United States Office Of
Education. Recently. group Of
alumni from the workshop formed a

ting and production of original pro-
grams, especially those of the educa-
tional type.
Another leader in broadcast training
is Ohio State University. which oper-
ates Station WOSU as an educational
adjunct of the university as we'll as a
means Of giving broadcast students in
tense practical training.
In the South, such institutions as
University of Florida, Alabama State
College for Women, the Citadel, Uni
versity of Houston, Louisiana State
University and Southern Methodist
include broadcast courses in their
curricula. Southern Methodist had
radio workshop during last Summer,
taught by Ben H. Darrow. founder Of
the Ohio School of the Air on WLW.
now WBEN, Buffalo. 1t was the first
practical course of the kind in the
Southwest, being designed for teach
ers and school superintendents in
stead Of undergraduates only.
A new course in radio speech was
offered last Summer by Wayne Uni
versity, Detroit. Training in micro
phone technique, announcing. special
events, drama and newscasting are
provided, and some of the actual in
struction takes place in the studios Of
WXYZ, Detroit station, whose staff
co-operates with the university. Re-
Gently, group of Wayne students
made thorough study of programs
presented by Detroit stations, and the
study will be made every year to
check on programming trends.
Hard-boiled operators of broadcast
stations decade ago were inclined to
turn up their noses when a college
graduate asked for a job. Now, the
trend is in the other direction. and
Prof. Abbot points out that 8 out Of
every 10 of Columbia Broadcasting
Systems personnel heard on the air
are college graduates.
One criticism aimed at colleeians
has been their so-called collegiate
accent" This criticism has died down
in recent years, and most station and
network announcers, whether college
graduates or not, have perfected a
cultural style of speaking. Some
listeners complain that announcers
get too slick in their glib performances,
but this criticism Is met with the
claim that good announcing and care
full pronunciation are helping to de-
velope good speaking among the rank
and dle Of listeners.

1t was the song which originally

Many Dance Tunes
Spice Programs For
South Americans

THE rhumba and the tango,
which are considered in the
United States to be South Amer
ica's two great dance music
forms. are played only OCCASION
ally on short-wave broadcasts to
South America. That, explains
Alberto Zalamea. CHS Latin
American program director, is
because the rhumba is just a
local Cuban dance and the tango
an Argentine one that happened
to catch on in the United States.
But every country in South
America has its own dance music,
which it would rather hear.
Chile, for example, thinks its
cueca just as good as the tango,
SO programs for Chile have to
have cuecas. In Colombia the
people go in for pasillos with an
occasional stab at q bambuco.
Brazil's big Apple" is the ma
chicha. And while Venezuela
Graves its joropoe, Mexico must
have its jarabe.
Knowing how to sprinkle joro-
pos and jarabes with fair por-
ton of rhumbas and tangos IS
one Of the diplomatic phases of
Zalamea's Job.

OF COlle8e radio courses, Halpn Rogers,
director of radio courses at Boston
University, who also is author Of 4
book on radio writing, predicts that .
degree Of bachelor OF broadcasting will
be offered soon by leading educational
institutions.
More than a hundred colleges are
known to be giving non-technical
broadcasting instruction as separate
courses which can be used as credits
toward diplomas. Then there are
some 10 that provide radio experience
through training outside the class
room. Another IS non-commercial
radio stations with purely educa-
tional status give their students broad
cast experience. Perhaps 200 have no
official radio instruction whatever.
These figures were compiled byxProf.
Waldo Abbot, University of Michigan
radio director. who is a pioneer In
campus radio instruction
At Ann Arbor, Prof Abbot gives his
students training in radio speech, radio
writing, dramatics, production and
education by radio. The set-up at that
institution is one of the most ad-
vanced in the Nation, and many new
wrinkles in the teaching art have
been developed by this leading radio
pedagogist.
For example. if Prof. Abbot wants
to train class in the art of sports
announcing, the student looks at a
motion picture Of game and gives
running description of what he sees.
In another room a group Of fellow
students hear the description and
criticize the novice's methods. This
procedure leaves few flaws unrevealed
