THE RADIO WAVES* Television Ready, With Opinion Divided on Type of Programs to Offer

TELEVISION is ready lor the world, but the world still views the innovation with open apprehension. The technical side of television is prepared to start transmitting, but a symposium of the nation's radio editors displays divided speculation concerning the type of programs that could be staged successfully. The animated supplement to radio finally has emerged from its laboratory status, and RCA's new television transmitter in the Empire State building probably is to be in operation this year on an experimental basis. NBfc has closed one of its studios and has started alterations, A battery of television-movie machines is being installed.

With television reproduction apparently restricted to a small area of vision, it is generally conceded that broadcasts should be devoted to studio programs, particularly to close-ups of singers and comedians. Participants in a drama or fast-moving scene, bobbing in and out of the picture, would only confuse the radio audience. Movie film strips arc more easily transmitted, and it is probable that some time is to elapse before live talent will be successfully employed. Only the novelty of the thing could interest any one watching a football game, for instance, or air races on a screen the size of a shoe box. One editor would show only the sponsor’s product, while an Indiana editor evoked critical disdain on the entire setup. Said the Hoosier, “Scrap the whole thing. You can carry this so-called scientific advancement too far. Let the nation catch up a little and discard the desire to get some place else all the time.” Nevertheless, 1936 is to witness the advent of applied television, which, until better developed, will not replace the theater or pictureless radio. tt tt tt Irene (Bee) Beasley, prominent singer of popular songs, returns to the air lanes tonight with Clyde Lucas and his orchestra on the Rendezvous musical program over the NBC-WJZ network at 7. Acclaimed Radio Queen in 1934, Miss Beasley returns from several months of musical comedy and vaudeville. n u tt CHINESE LULLABY” from “East Is West” and RimskyKorsakoff's colorful air, “The Rose and the Nightingale,” are to be the highlights of Lily Pons’ selections during her broadcast with the chorus and orchestra directed by Andre Kostelanetz over the nation-wide CBS network at 8. tt tt tt An Hawaiian guitar treatment of the “Music Goes ’Round and Around" novelty tune is to feature the program of the Imperial Hawaiian band at 6:15 on the CBS network. “I Love a Parade,” “Alone,” “Beautiful Lady in Blue” and “When I Grow Too Old to Dream” also are included in the program. tt tt tt Clifford Barbour’s announcement to go on the stage provides the theme for the One Man's Family broadcast over NBCWEAF at 7 tonight. tt tt tt GRACIE ALLEN’S plan for every one to complete his Christmas shopping before February this year is on the skit for tonight’s program at 7:30 over

” tfittltday Patty ♦ -'TOMORROW'S MY BIRTHDAY, 1 " confided a little girl to a ticket agent as her father was buying his tickets for Florida. The next day at luncheon on the FLORIDAN suddenly there appeared a huge birthday cake with ten candles on it. "Why, even the railroad knows I'm ten!" she exclaimed in delighted amazement. Os course! That ticket agent had a daughter —so did the dining car steward. And true to the Illinois Central tradition, they promptly arranged for the extra attention that made this trip memorable for the youngster.

WHETHER it's putting through emergency shipments in record time to save the day for a great factory or merely finding candles for a child's unexpected birthday cake, the employes of the Illinois Central System take pride and pleasure in rendering a service marked by that extra ingredient of good will which New Orleans calls “lagniappe.”
