—Radio — RADIO TROUBLE TRACED TO CITY TROLLEY LINES \ * Much Interference Found Due to Street Cars by Times Survey. Several serious cases of radio interference have been checked to city street cars by The Times radio intrference man in his survey of the ’ast four days. Conditions are growing worse, making trouble for an increasing number of listeners-in. Nearly all the radio owners complaining use AC line current, and tjiis line runs along car tracks or crosses them at different points. Most sets are using 180 volts on the last power stage and that steps up all interference twice as loud as it was when ninety was being used on the last stage of audio. Getting in Worse Shape Now, according to the survey, the car lines are getting in worse shape, with trolleys flat-sided, and rails with gaps, making bad grounds. All this makes a broadcast even louder than the local stations. The interference man found Mon- I day night, with his set at Twentieth and College, that the cars cut out WFBM and WKBF early. And just wait till the ice gets on the wires and rails, he warns, when the car line broadcasting will extend for six blocks in every direction. The results of some of the surveys will be given in detail in tomorrow’s story. Here is an appeal for help from Curtis C. Springer, 1224 Olney St., amateur GEMR, and others, that will be given prompt and thorough attention: “Radio Editor Times: I have read of the work your department has been doing lately in clearing up cases of radio interference. This is a noble undertaking, and no doubt you will gain more friends and supporters wherever a radio owner is benefited through the activity of your interference committee. “Since Friday night, Sept. 21, the radio receivers within a radius of at least three blocks of Thirteenth and Olney Sts, have been practically useless, due to a steady 80-cycle buzz, which blankets reception on all wave lengths between 17 and 550 meters, with no noticeable peaks. “It is usually very steady, but occasionally becomes intermittent, cutting out at irregular intervals for a few seconds. Early Thursday morning, Sept. 27, it had stopped completely, but started again some time during the day. It continued until Saturday, Sept. 29, when it stopped until Sunday morning, but has started again. "If your interference committee can rectify this situation, radio owners in at least fifty homes will greatly appreciate your cooperation.” Others Ask Aid Enclosed with Springer’s letter was a plea from a number of radio owners, as follows: “We, the undersigned radio owners, have been having considerable interference for more than a week, so we implore the assistance of your radio department to locate the source of this trouble, for which we sincerely thank you.” It was signed by Paul E. Fischer, 1219 N. Olney St.; Fred C. Koelling, 1337 N. Olney; R. E. Lindamood, 1230 N. Olney; Curtis C. Springer, 1224 N. Olney; Charles B. Ilett, 1304 N. Tuxedo; Charles Gronauer, 1310 N.

An address by Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen, arranged by the Democrats, and talks by two Republican workers provide the only political speaking to be tuned in over a vide territory. Allen’s talk was arranged within the last twenty-four hours and the radio network has not been completely lined up.

An original fund of $8,000,000 will be raised to care for those who now are receiving benefits from the old fund and for those whose advanced age would prevent suffcient payments to make the fund self-sup-porting. More than 4,000 workers of the church will be eligible. DELAY CLEARING AWAY CHURCHES FOR PLAZA Expect No Action Until November at Memorial Site. With no moves made by the present board of county commissioners to acquire the properties of the First Baptist Church, Meridian and Vermont Sts., and the Second Presbyterian Church, Pennsylvania and Vermont Sts., in order to remove them from the War Memorial site, it is expected action will be deferred until after the November election. The churches, under a statute passed by the 1925 Legislature marstay in the location twenty-five years unless commissioners buy the church sites. However, church officials have held up building programs, asserting that they will move the churches in order not to impair the beauty of the plaza.

LYDELL AGAIN UP TO FUNNY OLD TRICKS Here Is a Wise Comedian Who Keeps Before Public the Character Which Has Made Him Famous for Years. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN LYDELL, character comedian with the team of Lydell and Higgins, is a wise comedian as well as a good showman. Years ago, Lydell was associated with a man by the name of Mason. Their act you will recall was a verbal duel between an old soldier and a sailor. It was a classic of its kind. Now, Lydell is associated with another man by the name of Riggins, who is a small town beau grand. But Lydell has been wise in keeping his own character that of the old man who must be cautious to be "reliable” when thinking of the girls.

Some of the material not in the hands of an artist like Lydell would be just plain hokum dirt, but he keeps in character and you expect such remarks and actions from the old fellow. I think that Lydell has a find in Higgins, if that is the name of the other male partner. There is a woman in the act who acts as a foil to the eccentric comedy work of the two men. Right now, I think this act is a comedy classic. It is individual and splendidly done. There is no doubt that this act is the hit of the show on an otherwise only a half fair bill. The only exception is Eddie Selwyn, who works out imitations of A1 Jolson. Eddie Cantor and Eddie Leonard. He does this by bringing the characters into his music shop. Selwyn catches the many voice of Jolson, the handkerchief nervousness of Cantor and the sympathetic spirit of Leonard. Eddie Klein is present with his Sax Hounds, a saxophone organization. Midnight Steppers, composed of three colored boys are good dancers, but they must study showmanship. They need it. Mighty tame comedy ruins the efforts of Francis and Day. Nick Basil and company have worked out the movie studio idea along conventional lines. Fairly interesting. Mccall and Keller, well this act is another exception to the fair rule of the bill. They have clever material and the girl especially puts her “souse” stuff over well. The team closes with a parody which is a hit. Now at the Lyric. B B B GOOD SHOW AT THE MUTUAL If you take a burlesque show full of pretty girls, warm dances and appealing costumes and try to put over a lone man singing a ballad you have one of the hardest jobs ever. But George Graff, in "French Models” at the Mutual does this thing. Graff not only sings as we like to hear songs given, he makes the audience want more, and with the competition around him this is a real feat. “French Models” is a burlesque show that really is a credit to the burlesque business.

and costumes are all that could be desired in pleasant entertainment. And to go with all these things is a cast that would be hard to beat. Graff and Edythe Bates have the voices of the show and are given ample opportunity to use them. Viola Elliott comes to the front in the dance offerings and carries them off in a manner most acceptable to her audience. The comedy must not be forgotten. George Hart and Jack Burns keep up a running fire of fun that is clever all through the show and it is not all slapstick. Some of their comedy work is put over with a subtle touch that is as surprising as it is clever. If you want to see a rippin’ good burlesque show, “French Models” is it. On view at the Mutual. (By J. T. H.) B B Other theaters today offer: “Sunrise” at the Circle; “Our Dancing Daughters” at Loew’s Palace; "Girl Revue” at the Colonial; “The Terror" at the Apollo, and Charlies Davis at the Indiana.

Verdict of the Stage LYRlC—Lydell and Higgins are the otustanding hits on a fair bill. MUTUAL—“French Models” is as good as the publicity says, who could want more?

LEVIATHAN TO GO ON BLOCK Powerful Shipping Firm Plans to Bid. By Times Special -s WASHINGTON, Oct. Tfte International Mercantile Marine Company will try to purchase the Leviathan and other vessels of the United States lines when the shipping board puts them on sale here next month, according to present indications. For several days members of the auditing staff of the I. M. M. have been working on the books of the United States lines. This is thought to indicate that they are preparing to submit a bid for the vessels. Once before the I. M. M. attempted to purchase the United States lines and an injunction prevented it, on the ground that the sale would put the ships in control of foreign interests. According to latest information, a majority of I. M. M. stockholders now are American citizens. The company, however, owns ships that are of American and British registry and is agent for ships of British registry. It operates he Majestic and Olympic, among the largest and fastest of the trans-Atlantic vessels, and needs the fast Leviathan to round out its service. The law provides, however, that the Leviathan, when sold, be sold to American registry. The shipping board first intended to receive bids for the United States lines in the early fall. The date has, however, been postponed to Nov. 15.
