Producer Entered
Radio in Attempt
To Help School.

H1MAN BROWN, producer of Grand
Central Station over c. B. c., had
an odd reason for entering radio.
He thought it would help publicize
his alma mater Back in 1927 Himan
was just another law student at City
College. In his spare time he acted
in the college varsity shows doing
mad Russians, crazy Italians and imi-
tations Of Milt Gross "Nize Baby"
The shows were popular among the
students, but Himan. who loved
his alma mater. thought more people
from the outside ought to see them.
To get a big audience, however,
he knew publicity was necessary; but
when he rushed around to newspaper
offices, asking them to print material
about the shows, they were Indifferent
Then one day Himan had an idea.
The way to get publicity was for a
member of the cast to become a
celebrity II a member of the var
sity show got a radio program, for
instance, maybe the newspapers would
print things about him. Promptly
tlctttu tllItLScll W UtCOIUS IdulU
celebrity. He went to a local New
York station and said he was a
Western actor looking for a chance
to do inspirational readings over the
air. Radio executives we're impressed
and gave him spot. He called
it "Hi-Brown Readings" and read
poetry by Edgar Guest. with imita-
tions Of "Nize Baby" thrown in every
now and then.
Sad to say. "Hi-Brow Readings"
never accomplished its purpose. The
newspapers never carried line about
its talented star. but his air debut
so affected Himan that within six
months he had quit law school and
gone into radio acting seriously.
Since then he has produced more
than 10000 broadcasts.

Husing's latest invention to ease the
life Of golf match announcer. For
years Ted has been looking for q
way to follow q strenuous 36-hole
match and still retain enough breath
to describe the shots. The new dump
cart, which G. B. s. now orders in
advance before Husing arrives at
th~ course, provides the solution. Ted
used II at the P. G. A., and he will
continue using it In tournaments later
in the season.
Ted now sits in q metal cart along
with an assistant and two technicians.
He is driven from tee to green by .
chauffeur at rate of IS miles an

special silencers 50 as not to dis
concert the golfers. Although the
cart, in which Ted and his assistants
ride like Roman charioteers, has rub
