JAMES AND BAND
 PLAY COMPOUNCE
Bristol Dancers to Enjoy Nations Number One
 Trumpeter Tomorrow

Harry James, the nations num- Der one trumpeter, brings his or chestra to the Lake Compounce ball room tomorrow night.
 James, regarded by many as the only trumpet player capable of ill., ing the shoes of the late "Bix" Beiderbecke, has enjoyed tremend- ous success since he left the Good man organization and formed his own orchestra. Much of this popu- larity stems from Harry's ability to serve up the best of the sweet tunes and Latin rhythms as well as the hot music.
 Like his former "boss" Benny Goodman, Harry James counts upon the classics to help him swing. This is not as anomalous as first impress sion would make 1t seem, for the in- strumental resourcefulness and mastery which James exhibits every time he blows his trumpet is direct ly traceable to the understanding and technical efficiency he acquired while familiarizing himself with the W0rkS oI the masters.
 His acclaim can be traced to sev- eral factors. First, he is a great soloist. Then again his orchestra is well rounded, able to swing or play sweet with equal ability, and his records are in such demand throughout the country, that even though Harry may never have played in a territory, his music and tempos are well known there.
 Featured vocalist with the orches- tra is Dick Haynes. Dancing will start at 8:30 p. m. and continue un- til 12:30 a. m. on Sunday nights for the remainder of the season.
 Lake Compounce will feature its usual fine display of fireworks on Saturday night together with danc- ing to the music of the Hal MnTr- tyre orchestra. The Krakowska or- chestra holds forth es.Iy A..----J night and roller skating is a popu- lar feature every afternoon and evening except Saturday and Sum- day evenings.

New Transmitter
For Wirephotos
Developed byA. P.
Improved Machine
Is Smaller, Foster and
Gives Better Pictures
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-A new
and improved portable transmitter
for sending photographs by wire was
announced today by the Associated
Press.
The transmitter uses new type
of photo cell which not only reduces
bulk of the machine but gives
greater fidelity and detail of repro
duction. The cell is a little lamp
using three and three-quarters
watts. against 20 watts required pre-
viously.
This cell was developed during
two years of experiments in the
Associated Press laboratory here. 1t
is regarded on it's test performances
as the runnerup in great simpli-
flcation of sending pictures by wire.
One test model has been COM
pleted. Production will be started
as soon as possible.
Smaller and Faster.
Only about half as large and
heavy as the previous wirephoto
portable, the new machine sends a
picture 9 by 7 inches, instead of
by S, the old dimensions. The
added size and detail mean that
the pictures need less retouching.
This transmitter operates either
on a battery or on any alternating
light current.
In the new machine the photo
graphs can be mounted on the send
ing cylinder much more rapidly thar
with the old transmitter. Since the
portables send pictures through Or
dinary toll calls, are speed means
the saving of good many dollars
When photograph is to be sent
the suit case in which the trans
mitter is housed, is attached by g
coil to any available telephone box
1t then is plugged in, like radio
to a convenient electric light out
let. This latter connection operates

wrapped on a revolving cylinder in

call is put through to the person or

this call the picture travels, in cleo

Wirephoto's first portable was
used in flooded Pittsburgh in 1886.
There are now IS of them in the

They supplement the 10000 miles

kind, has developed in about six
years from 10000 miles and so mem-
