Hal M. Ayers, president of Con- tinental Broadcasting Corporation, Hollywood, producers and distrib- utors of electrical transcription for radio stations, returns from a country-wide inspection trip and reports that 90 per cent of the broadcasters in the United States are now using electrically trans- cribd sustaining programs in vary- ing amounts of time. Jack Joy, production manager for KFWB, confesses a secret passion for the oriental. Chines books, lanterns, tapestries, these are his prized possessions, and his pet relaxation is browsing around one of the queer old Chinese shops in Los Angeles, talking to the toothless proprietors. Nelson Case, one of KFWB’s announcers has a fine baritone voice, but he has one habit that his colleagues kid him about un- mercifully. He WILL sing with his eyes closed. Radio Station KOA, Denver, found itself to be an inadvertent crusader against the divorce evil when a program popularity survey was completed recently. Ron Wilson and Don Warner, magicians of two-piano tunes, have signed up for a 26-program series of electrically recorded pro- grams which will come from the studios of the Continental Broad- casting Corporation in Hollywood.

Theatre contracts, hanging fire since September 1, are due to come up again this week and with five of the eight down-town first run houses under the Fox banner and two under RKO much dissension is expected before final papers are signed. So far as the number of work- ing Local 6 members is concern- ed, this city is in a pretty good state. This being a strong labor town every theatre of importance maintains an orchestra.
