WAVELETS s
By ED LEAMY

Joe Rines, the only man in radio who holds down two important, be- lind-the- scenes roles on top flight program, has a little advice for broadcasting aspirants. Poe, act ing director as well as musical di- rector of NBC's "Abie's Irish Rose" can put it in two words: Stage pres ence.
 Of necessity, says Joe, actors will have to be more than just "toe- scuffling script readers when tele- vision is a nation wide medium. AS a former vaudevillian, he believes too many otherwise talented per- formers lack the training that vau- deville gave.
 Too many newcomers were never trained to appear before audiences. They don't even know how to walk out on a stage. It's true that the studio audience is only an infini- tesimal part of radio audience, but their reaction to a performer gets over the airwaves, too.
 You have" he says, "the great est potentialities as an actor-voice face. emotional feeling - but if you don't know what to do with your self, if you don't know all the dodgeS, you'll never make it."
 Ripes knows whereof he speaks. Besides vaudeville. he's been in radio so long he can remember the informal days of the new industry when people would actually call up a local radio station and ask them to get oil the air because they were interfering with other reception. And, says Rines, wed oblige."
 His suggestion about what to do these days is simple. Go to com- petent dramatic teacher. If they're worthy of that title they'll teach you more than line reading. They'll teach you something that is prob- ably more important - tricks of the trade"
