For the natives of the outlying
island, were arriving in Nassau
harbor in full force today, their
hand-built sloops emitting a va
riety of odors that never permeated
the scullery of Buckingham palace.
So far, the authorities have made
no provision to clear the harbor for
the dukes ship, now expected to
arrive here this weekend.
Many of the crude vessels. whose
sides no longer boast a coat of
paint, were tied up at Prince
George wharf, where the duke and
duchess will disembard for a re-
ception which will be of mixed
British conservatism and American
tourist enthusiasm.
One boat carried a mixed
cargo - eight natives, three
children, a black bull, a black
cow, a thin, long-eared dog. n
load of corn and half n dozen
crude cooking utensils.
The natives ate, slept,
worked and sang aboard their
floating homes. The cattle
munched corn and the black
native children played and
swan, awaiting 'rejoicin'
day." Some were convinced the
king" was coming to git"
them.
For miles around the word went
out along the native grapevine that
the king" was coming. Many
had never heard that the duke had
given up his throne to marry the
former Wallis Warfield Simpson,
but they knew this week would
bring a very important occasion.

,1yra Noyes sauntered in.

Myra Noyes sauntered in.
You try it, Myra," Delacarte
said to her, opening a switch from
the control room.
The other girls looked at each
other knowingly, fully aware that
it was all cut and dried. So, Romany
thought to herself, that is the great
observation-disclosures Myra Noyes
She was a small blonde, thin
faced, with scarlet lips and heavily
blue Swallowed eyes, matching the
sky blue of her stunning childish
gown. 1t was close fitting, revealing
the additionally thin fashionable
figure. Romany decided she was en-
tirely too heavily made up; theatre
cal. But with it all, striking.
Myra had read but a few lines in
her dramatic school voice when
Delacarte called enthusiastically:
That does it! Thanks, Myra. All
you other girls may run along now
Better luck next time"
There was a slight stir Of unrest
in the studio as the crowd Of hang
ers-on began to feel certain they
were just wasting their breath. II
was more or less a closed corpora
ton they surmised, knowing Della
carte. They were all surprised tc
find it wasn't a child show, since
the call had been from him.
Romany watched silently, ano
was unaware of the comedy ano
drama Of the situation because ii
was all so new to her. But once
when Baxter turned and looked at
her, she could see that he was very
much upset.
Three actors had read the lead
part Of the young lawyer when Bill
Bartner, small and red headed, took
the microphone. After few SEN
fences Delacarte gave him the
okay. Even he was getting weary
of the farce of casting, and decided
to move things along.
In a little more than an hour the
cast was selected and the actua
rehearsals began. Lane and Baxter
might as we'll have been sticks Of
wood, for all the attention Della
carte paid to them. And they, wise
ly, left him strictly alone.
Lane was fully aware that ne
had, with cunning, selected a fool
proof cast that would interpret the
characters according to Hoyle anc
save him the trouble Of direction
It was q smart move, since M

After running through the show

ready to cut.

step. We're ready to go to town"
Romany was excited as an engl

ing to the vaguely similar dialogue
as it was interpreted by the IA
miliar voice of Myra, radios dar-
ling.
To Romany it was marvellous.
and she was like a child at party.
She felt, too, that she was learning
much that would help her later.
She was watching how closely the
players stood to the microphone,
how they held their scripts and fol-
lowed the director and his signals.
Baxter was living through the
nightmare somehow, but he knew
he would remember that day as
long as he lived. The thought of be-
ing able to talk it all over with
Romany at dinner was the one
bright spot in an otherwise bleak
world.
Two scripts were finally record
ed. It was seven o'clock before they,
were finished. Lane had left at five
thirty. At the end Delacarte turned
to an engineer:
How about playin' 'em back so
I can hear how they sound?"
You'll have to wait till we take
Uncle Toms Children off the air"
The older engineer looked very
tired.
BY sitting and watching, ROM
any learned that they were picking
show up from network and
making it into record. 1t was to
be rebroadcast later in the evening.
She was more certain than ever
that radio was the only thing in
the world she would ever want
to do.
Baxter hid his disappointment
admirably when, weary and dis
couraged, he suggested they would
soon be ready to go to dinner.
Romany had twinge of conscience
when she told him she had prom
ised Brent Nelson she'd dine with
him. But she explained to BaX eX-
actly how she felt about it and told
him it was an important contact
she felt she just couldn't miss. She
suggested they dine together the
next evening and he, good natured-
ly, agreed it was date.
Outside; Baxter decided he had
much too great a headache to
bother with food. So ne took a long
walk, the play-back of his slaugh-
tered dramatic show running in his
ears. Finally he sat down beside
the lake and the music of the wa
ter soothed his tangled nerves.
After a while he had sufficiently
rested to analyze Bob Lanes ad-
vice and decided if he intended
making radio drama his life's work
he would have to laugh things off.
After all, radio was such new art,
no one knew much about it. 1t had
become such an important factor
in American life, that it was better
to be a very little spoke in the
radio wheel than nothing at all, he
told himself.
While Baxter ate hamburger in
lonely solitude at a one-arm lunch,
Romany and Nelson were dining
and dancing at fashionable lake
side night spot.
