Walk of Stone Gods
Is Set to Music
For Program.

STONE gods walking and sea SER
pents talking are just two Of the
many weird phenomena which Com
poser Bernard Hermann has been
called upon to depict musically for the
Columbia Workshop" series. Mr..
Herrmann's job, besides conducting
the workshop" orchestra, is to write
all the short musical cues which set
the mood for the dramatic scenes. So
far, he has written over 1000 of these
cues which, after serving their pur-
pose, never are played again.
Things like sea serpents and stone
gods coming to life are comparatively
easy to simulate in music, says Mr..
Hermann, because no one can dispute
their accuracy, but, although the
strain on the imagination Is not so
great, more research and care is re-
quired in interpreting familiar hu-
man sounds, such as the beating of
heart, or a mailman's walk.
Two Of Mr.. Herrmann's most diff
cult assignments have been to write
music representing a man being trans
formed into tree and to reproduce
the sound of tortured ghost. 1t was
no easy matter either, to orchestrate
the sllther OF a slowly melting ice
berg. But the Workshop" did it with
a few muted strings, tickle Of a ce-
leste and rumbling Of the bass violin.
My ambition" says Bernard Herr
mann, is to write music to represent
silence. That is perfectly possible and
I soon may have to prove it."

Sings About Grief.

ARSON robson Is the man who

choly. Earthquakes. shipwrecks and
railroad collisions are a part of the
hill-billy mogul's musical stock in
trade, for Robby is more than a radio
performer. He is the composer of
nearly 200 catastrophe songs" These
embrace tear-jerking compositions
which tell the woeful tale of the Miami
storm; the tragic death of Naomi Wise,
who was murdered by her lover; the
Mississippi flood.
Millions of people find diversion in
these rhymed chronicles of doom,
which are dashed off in ballad form
almost before the tragedies have left
the front page. In addition to re-
quests to sing them over the air, Robi-
son has proof of the popularity of
such mournful melodies. His phono-
graph recordings top the 10000, 900

Pocket

Tiny Transnitter
Presented, to
Collector.
THE "coat-pocket" transmit

TIME "coat-pocket" transmitter
tiniest radio station in the
world, now is part of the
a greatest collection of the
smallest everything imaginable The
transmitter has been presented by o.
B. Hanson, vice president and chief
engineer Of the National Broadcasting
Co., to Jules Charbneau. owner Of q
museum of nearly $4,000 miniature
objects.
This midget micro wave transmitter,
housed IN 3-inch cube and weighing
less than a pound, propagates a wave
OF 1-meter length, or a frequency of
300, 100000 cycles. 1t uses a tiny
acorn" tube and has a special dipole
antenna. The forerunner of N. B. C.'s
famous beer mug" transmitter, now
used frequently in this field, this mid
get has a power output of 1/lO watt.
about 1880 of an ordinary electric
lamps rating.
The transmitter. incidentally the
largest item in Charbneaus collection,
was built by engineers in their ex-
poration Of the possibilities of ultra
high frequencies for radio relays of
outside programs. In tests made in
New York City the transmitter was
successful in sending over q radius Of
about miles.
THE micro-wave unit was developed
in research for a small transmit
ter that would enable footloose an
nouncers to wander at will among
large assemblages, such as political
conventions, and pick up parts of a
program at different points without
necessity of extending microphone
lines. 1t may be used in connection
with either relay to shunt the pro-
gram on to the network or to feed a
public address system.
The tiny station now is part of a
collection that includes such items as
miniature pipe organ made in
France $50 years ago, script of 295
letters on space the size of needle
point. 5000 spoons in an acorn, a seed
containing 80 carved elephants and
smallest camera, fountain pen and
radio receiver. Charbneau recently
has added the tiniest cut diamond to
his collection, but he still is waiting
for some enterprising manufacturer
to build him a workable automobile
inches long. He has the motor, IA
inches long, ready for installation.
Charbneau began his collection at the
Paris Exposition in 1900, and con-
stantly tours the world exhibiting his
priceless objects The entire collec-
ton can be carried in q trunk and a
travelling bag.

station for visual broadcasting will be
turned over to the National Broad
casting Co.
The new unit, portion of the dedi-
catory ceremonies for which will be
heard during the Magic Key program
over WMAL at 2 o'clock, consists of
two large motor vans containing con-
troll apparatus and transmitter of the
mlcro-wave variety. Ten engineers
are required to operate the station.
Some Of the mysterious appurten-
ances: Two iconoscope cameras, the
"eyes Of the television transmitter;
synchronizing generators and recti-
fiers, "amplifiers for blanking and de-
hecting potential," coaxial cables, an
air-conditioning and water cooling
unit to absorb the heat generated by
the special tubes employed.

which, it is expected, will move the
medium bit farther on its way to the

neers. After being relayed to the
transmitter in the Empire State Build

ways fond of their chinese colony,
used to enjoy pilgrimages to the
Chinese restaurants, many of them
to this day of marked splendor
and excellence.
It was quite evident, though,
that the native Chinese dishes
were somewhat beyond the Amer
lean conception. And so the
Chinese chefs, with thoughtful con-
sideration, began to plan American
interpretations or variations-in
short, dish which had many of
the characteristics of Chinese cook
ing but inclined to the American
persuasion. Thus, grew up the dish
which has become the American
idea of Chinese food, popular from

the sherry wine and soya sauce
and cook another three minutes.
In another pan put teaspoon of

the mushrooms, celery, onion and
bamboo shoots. When these are
cooked, add the prepared meat and
wine and let cook for another three
minutes. If the mixture seems a
little dry, add just enough water
to moisten it.

Chop Suey American
Conception Of What
Chinese Dish Should Be
"A Mixture OF Odds and Ends, Fried Together
Makes What Americans Call Chop Suey
Sidney Snow

Once l heard Chinese cook in
California say: "Melicans alice
samee clazee. Make EN- tea belly
hot. Put in ice. Make EN- belly cold.
Put in sugar. Make EN- plenty
sweet. Put in lemon. Make EN-
plenty sour. All samee clazee."
We, in turn, consider some of
the dishes the Chinese are suppos-
ed to enjoy and we put out fingers
to our heads and say "Nuts-those
Chinesel"
It's all in the point of view or
in our early training.
I used to know in prep. school
in California, a splendid young
Chinese of excellent family. His
name was Ong Yet Nam. We had
one great hobby in common. We
liked to cook and, against the rules
of the school, I owned an alcohol
chatting dish which was kept well
hidden. On propitious nights, usu-
ally after Nam had had leave of
absence and had gone to San Fran
cisco and brought back sundry and
novel ingredients from his uncle,
Ong Yet Choy, we cooked the con-
glomeration which may be called
Cha Sui or Chop Suey. Nam used
to explain that this dish is not
Chinese, any more than corned
beef and cabbage is Irish, but it is
an Americans conception of what
a Chinese dish ought to be.
He said that Chop Suey cores
ponded to American hash, and that
the nearest possible meaning in
Chinese was "a mixture of odds
and ends, fried together" which,
after all, is about what it really is.
There are countless stories as to
the invention or origin of chop
suey. One of the most reasonable
is that San Francisco people, al

Eggs Basis OF
Many Popular
And Novel Dishes

When a luncheon or midnight
supper becomes a problem, one can
always feel perfectly free to serve
an interesting egg dish. Omelets
are always popular as well as
novel egg dishes. For example:
CREOLE OMELET
1 tablespoon butter
4 eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions
A tomatoes
2 green peppers
l teaspoon salt
u teaspoon paprika
Beat the eggs In a bow with
four tablespoons of water. When
the butter is heated to a light
brown, turn in the eggs. AS they
brown, lift the edges with a
spatula and let the uncooked part
run under. When the omelet is
brown underneath and creamy on
top, fold once and slip onto hot
platter, surrounding it with Creole
sauce. The sauce is made as fol-
lows: Heat two tablespoons Of
olive oil. Put into this the minced
onions, tomatoes and peppers. Add
salt and paprika, cook slowly until
wanted for the omelet.
