BRITISH DANCING ! 10 MUSIC FROM STATION IN STATES Concerts Are Relayed From Station KDKA in Pittsburgh, B \'F.A Service PITTSBURGH. Pa., Dec. 27. —Europe Is dancing to music from America almost every evening. This has been made possible by the transmission of radio concerts on low wave lengths from station KDKA here and their retransmission on broadcast wave lengths in England. For over a year this process of rebroadcasting across the Atlantic has been going on more or less on an experimental scale. Now, its practicality having been proven, a regular schedule of evening concerts has been arranged for this special purpose. An elaborate system has been devised for this method of broadcasting. It Includes long lines direct from various studios to the panel at KDKA here, then over the air on short waves to 2U), near London, the main station of the British Broadcasting Association, and then on to the individual receivers on longer wave lengths. The first series of these programs has been arranged between the Wanamakcr stores in New York and Philadelphia, and the broadcasters While the programs will go out locally through WOO in Philadelphia, and WN'YC in New York, station KD KA will receive them by direct wire from the New York and Philadelphia studios for retransmit sion abroad. The after-theater supper crowds in I>ondon and elsewhere will receive those programs, broadcast between 6:30 and 6:30. Eastren tim*-. The Savoy Hotel in 1/rnJon wtll silence its regular orchestra at this time while the guests dance to the music from America. Today ’s Best Radio Features Vopyright.

FANS ARE LINED OP FOR CHECK ON SUN ECLIPSE / I Effect on Reception to Bel Determined by Fans Over Country, Bn Y KA Service NEW YORK. Dee. 29.—Radio fans | in the United States and Canada are j being lined for a uniquo cheek on J the total eclipse of the sun the morning of Jan. 24. The check, it Is hoped, will lead engineers to the solution of one of radio's most puzzling phenomena— ■ fading. Under the direction of the Scientific American, the fans are being organizer! to return a comprehensive | report on the eclipse and its effect on radio transmission. There will be about six or eight broadcasting stations from which the programs will be transmitted during tlie time of the eclipse, a little before and a little after. Two of these will I be directly within the shadow path, two or three to the north and the same number to the south. t'rts9-(Vo9 I’lan Other broadcasters "ill be asked to maintain silence at this time. “The particular six or eight stations having been selected for these tests.” the preliminary instructions read, “each cooperating radio listener will be Instructed to tune to ja specific one of these stations. Some ; listeners south of the path of totality will be asked to tune In a station north of the path. Still others a station within the shadow band It ! self. "Listeners located north of the path or within the path will be divided in the same "-ay.” - About fifteen minutes before totality of the eclipse, the broadcasters will read slowly a specially prepared manuscript. Time Check The idea Is to have listeners take I special note of an\ changes in Intensity of the broadcast voices and jot down tho exact words at which they notice signals to fade or strengthen. This Is meant for a time check on the fading phenomenon. A man with a copy of what le being read will sit in each broadcasting station and mark his copy every time a second is ticked off by an accurate chronometer. 1 Reports of faded or strengthened 1 words will thus be checked with the timed reading and from these, it is hoped, some relationship between the eeilpse shadow and fading may be determined.

‘Peter Pan ’ Is Happiest of Movies; Keaton Is Funny—‘So Big ' Arrives

By WALTER D. HICKMAN [ ""I FTER seeing “Peter Pan” on 1A j the screen, I said to myK *~l self, ”1 am thankful that there is such a thing as the movies.” A sort of a delightful something came to me as I saw the famous story of Sir James M. Barrie unfolded on the :>'-l" u wv on —’ good but jealous BETTY fairy anil with BRONSON the hoys in Never Npver Land. Peter Pan returned to earth when he wanted new companions, especially a little girl to play the part of mother because a mother is needed in fairyand to tuck the covers of leaves around the little boys at night. Peter glides through the night in the air and comes sailing Into the oqen window of a rich nursery of a home at a time when the father and mother were at a party instead of being at home with their children. So Peter Pan takes the three children to Never-Never Land after teaching them to fly. Even in fairyland with fairys, Injuns and pirates the children desire to return home. And their parents are mighty glad to have them back home again. This story is told by applying the most modern means used in photographing movies. The children fiy j through the air. They soar like birds and it doesn't look mechanical. Another tine piece of work is when Peter Pan returns to earth to obtain h!s shadow and a little girl pins It on him. Here Is splendid movie stage craft. The fact is that "Peter ran” > creates anew day in the movies. . It rises the art of movie stage craft jto a high level. 1 have never seen | a more beautiful movie. It shows j to what n high artistic plane a great istory may be raised when If becomes ja photoplay. I am sure that "Peter Pan" is the happiest <>f the movies, i I mean by that it brings a great joy I to one while seeing It. Th" mechanics of the movie are |so wonderful and the story such a g'-m that one Is not concerned just who plays the chief role. Bitty i Bronson, an unheard of little girl, plays the role of peter Pan. She does not attempt to act. She Just allows artistic youth, dreamy \outh, to express itself And that ls\just what the author attempted. And in j doing Just that and nothing more, Miss Bronson triumphs. Ernest Torrence Is seen as a bffld and bad captain of the pirates. He jls Just as grand and terrible as any pirate that I dreamed of when 1 was a youngster. He walks right ; out of the story book and struts his i stuff before tho camera, oh, I tell I von. Torrence is splendid. There are j many; many children in this movie “Peter Pan” brings fairyland of Barrie right before yi.-ur very eyes. It is a worthy accomplishment. It lis entertainment that will make every mother, father, hoy and gdid happy. lk>n't dare to miss it Tt linings new glory to the Paramount j banner. Bill includes an organ s-do by I-es. iter Huff, the Spats in "Deaf, Dumb 1 and Daffy," ami music by Charlie Davis and his orohastra. At tho Ohio all week. * * * THE REST OK HEELERS RE \< HES MOVIE SCREEN i “ While “So Big" remains one of ; the best si>li>rs. the movie version of the novel has reached the screen. This is fast and wise work. "So Big ' was and is a big suceesH as a j story, because It Is about a mother and her son —mother love and j sacrifice. These elements when I properly handled spoil success and Edna Berber knows how to use ’em. The person who had the job of adapting the story to the screen has a tough Job of it because the book And It is in these COLLEEN scenes that the MOORE movie director has been most successful. And It is in these same scenes that Colleen Moore as Selina does her best work. Miss Moore actually makes you feel the change that

What I Like Best on Screen The work of Colleen Moore in "So Big" while she is showing what beets and cabbages did to the heart, soul and body of Selina De Jong in “So Big." Great work. At the Circle. The mechanics and the way that "Peter Pan" was brought from the printed page to the screen. One of the most artistic screen achievements. At the Ohio. “The Navigator” with Buster Keaton and Our Gang in “The Mysterious Mystery” make up one of the best all-around comedy movie bills of the season. At the Apollo.

comes over her from the time she exclaims that 'cabbages are beautiful" until the time that the toil over the cabbages and other vegetables In the field works Its fingers into her very being. Miss Moore in the first two thirds of the movie does work which I rank side by side with the work of Pauline Lord In ‘ Anna Christie" on the stage. Here is true, powerful, cruel and striking characterization. Such work will live. From the time that Dirk grows up and starts going wrong. It is then that I feel that the movie dt rector has not been wise. Nobody ran improve upon Edna Ferber’s story. The most striking thing she did In writing the story was to leave Dirk just as he was—Just so big. in fact, very small. The movie maker saw more storyin Dirk's messy affair with a married woman than he did with the nr rival of that wonderful girl, Dallas O’Meara. Please do not misunderstand me, "So Big" is a powerful movie and grand entertainment, but |.lt could have been grander if the last third of the movie had remained as faithful to the story as the first [ two-thirds did. Tho first two-thirds I of the movie lives right up to the 1 major elements of the book. The cast is splendid. Here it is in full: Selina De Jong Colleen Moore Dirk De Jon* Ben Lyon Purvis De Joni . .

GO TO THE APOLIA) You say give us comedies. All right. Trot out your furs, overcoats, cap and hats, whatever the case may he. and Journey right to the Apollo Theater. And, oh boy. there sure “am" lots of real comedy there this week. The menu and cause fur this outbreak of mine Is ns follows: First, Buster Keaton In "The Navigator.” Second, ! Our Gang In “The Mysterious Mys*jery.“ Now, yesterday was one cold day. but when the warmth of the theater : got into me and my laughing appn ratus started working.

And he got It The story is so constructed that you are concerned during most of the picture just with Buster Keaton. ! Kathryn McGuire and a deserted I ocean liner with the exception of the two mentioned. Keaton is a slapstick comedian. He nearly throws pies in this one, ; but he has convinced me that he Is nn artist. He puts over Ills quiet | comedy as well as the noisy hokum stuff And that Is a test of ability. By his work in “The Navigator.” Buster Keaton arrives at that station of the comedy game when he deserves serious consideration along with Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd. And when I admit that, 1 sure am doing no harm to Keaton, j Suggest that you take a look at i Keaton and see if I am wrong. You know I have a sort of a weak- ! ness for our Gang. Lately you know t these “kids” have thrown off their | bad manners and have gone in for j real, natural Juvenile adventure, j This time they are all Sherlock j Holmes detectives. The stunt with j the aeroplane is just about as funny a situation as I have seen this winter. “The Mysterious Mystery” is a comedy knock-out to me. Corking good fun.
