IT MAY be that brides and brooms are more important than brides and bridegrooms but without the bridegroom the lady in question hasn't much use for a broom. A young woman who hasn't learned how to be a bride before she is one is like the young man, just out of college, whose “Old Man” puts him in charge of a department instead of starting him in overalls. Education for being a bride should be begun long before she gets her man.

IN A WIDELY quoted address by Dr, C. C. Furnas, chemical engineer, he stated that, contrary to general opinion, science is making for peace far more than for war. He claims science has not increased war or caused more deaths. War is simply bigger and more spectacular but science cures the wounded, prevents pestilence and feeds the starving, all of whom formerly perished by the millions, Dr. Furnas says in his book, “The Next Hundred Years,” we are on our way world of peace—through

THE LAJEST study of this important question is one of 819 children age 10 to 14 by Pintner, Forlano and Freedman, psychoiogists. Each child named his first, second and third best friend and numerous tests were given to each child and to his friends to see how closely each type of friend resembled the child. On personality characteristics they did not resemble each other in the least but were closely alike in physical age, and to some extent, in mental age.

Next—Should everybody have a definite philosophy?

Phenomenal Development of Radio From ‘Experiment Into ‘Big Business’ Outlined in Variety's New Directory

Three Leading Networks And | 7 Regional Groups Are Listed

Convincing and interesting evi dence of radio's phenomenal growth in less than two decades from an experiment into a multimillion dollar entertainment and business enterprize came to this department this week in the form of Variety's first annual Radio Directory Though radio as we think of it today was unknown 15 years ago, Va-

riety discovered 1104 pages were necessary to list, even briefly, the available pertinent information about networks, independent sta-

tions, entertainers, advertising agencles, listeners and others aspects of modern wireless.

n n ”

Edgar A. Grunwald, who briefed radio's history into a few pages for the Radio Directory, divided network process, production and programming into the following seven eras or periods: 1. Music hall and minstrels, 1020 32. (Remember these informal, unrehearsed musical and comedy shows, usually featuring a couple of balckface comedians?) 2. Mystery dramas, 1931-32. 3. “Personality” entertainers, 1932-34. (Most of radio's topflight comedians and rthasters of ceremony started in this period.) 4. Concert and opera, 1933-34. [| 5 Era of "big money,” Part 1, 1934. (Characterized by hour-long programs and background production.) 6. Fra of “big money,” Part II, | 1035. (Characterized by the “amateur” hour and the continuous musical comedy.) | 7. Era of “big money,” Part III, 1936. (Characterized by trend toward novelties and eclectic use of dance music.)

n * »

From the sections on networks, stations and listeners, we learn, for instance that besides the three ma- | dor networks—CBS, Mutual and | NBCa-there are 17 regional net | works throughout the country

New York, with 49 commercial stations and 2,993,000 radio homes, is the country’s No. 1 radio state + + « Texas, with 48 stations, is a close second in station total, . . . Indiana has 616,800 radio homes, | and 19 stations (including WGVA, | Indianapolis, not yet in operation) |... Marion County, with 102,900 radio homes, has the most listeners in any one county in Indiana. . +. Brown County, with 400 radio homes, has the fewest. . . . Alaska | has three commercial stations, | Hawaii three, two of which are CBS and Mutual affiliates and one | an NBC outlet, | Radio's gross time sales in 1936 to- | taled $107,550,886, compared to | $87,523,848 in 1935, and to $72,887,160 | in 1934. . , . NBC gross business in 1936 was $34,523,950 CB3 | gross business the same year was | $23,168,148, and Mutual in 1936 did business totaling $1,987,573. NBC political revenue in 1936 was $910,317, of which $394993 came from the Republican National Com=- | mittee, and $232.656 from the Democratic National Committee. , . . CBS’ | 1936 political revenue was $783,663, | of which the Republican national | and state committees paid $434,442, | and the Democratic National Com | mittee paid $225,849. | n ” ”

| Net program information, as compiled by the Radio Directory, which confirmed listeners may find interesting: Between June 1, 1936, and June 1, 1937, NBC’s two divisions carried 155 different sponsored programs, 18 of which originated in Hollywood part or all of the time. . +. OBS listed 98 different sponsored broadcasts, 14 coming from the film capital part or all of the time, , . . Mutual reported 51 different sponsored programs, two of which originated in Hollywood. (The total number of programs at any one time last season was not as great as the above figures indicate, for there was some overlapping of seasons between June and September or October, 19386.) Guest, performers were used on 30 of NBC's 155 programs. , . . on of CBS’ 98. ... and on only one of Mutual's 51 Rudy Vallee's “Variety Hour” last jeason led all programs in total number of guest performances with

273. . . NBC's “Magic Key” was second with 246 guest performances. n n ”

| FPifteen pages of small type were | necessary to list in the directory the

| radio, and an editor's note explained

| | | |

The composer telegraphed David- |

that only the most-used excerpts were listed. . Seventeen pages were required to list the songs and instrumental numbers from stage and screen sources used by radio, and this list is not complete. . . . Nine and one-half pages were used to list the stage plays adapted for radio and presented one or more times, and the total number is approximately 450. Talent costs were reported to have risen from about 30 per cent of total radio budgets in 1930 to an average of 40 per cent last season for evening shows. . . . Fifteen transcription or recording services were listed, which turn out hundreds of programs for independent stations in this coantry and in Europe, South America and other countries, Network, station and recorded programs, from radio's earliest days to the present, were listed under
