Easy to Install "Our set cost about $300 complete. Anybody can install it. Experiment placing horns till best results are obtained. We now have both horns on stage and receiving set in the orchestra pit. "When we get the different musical concerts we just stop our regular orchestra and the picture is run on with the radio music. With our equipment the concert can be heard very distinctly all over the theatre.

They danced at the back and sides of the stage. Patrons are asking for another radio dance."
