a long time about my pet radio peeve, so I think I'll put it on paper. It's this: the way movie-radio stars plug songs from their pictures. While a radio star is working on a picture, the songs on his program are invariably "from my latest picture." The popular singing stars do this to the nauseating point. The comedians, such as Benny and Burns and Allen are guilty. Even the opera stars over-plug their picture songs. Naturally, we don't mind them singing songs from their pictures now and then. But when they ceaselessly din those songs into our ears week after week, it gets mighty darned tiresome. And I don't think I'm the only one of this opinion!

$1.00 PRIZE IS IT INEFFICIENCY OR LAZINESS?
There is a saying that "sometimes when you ask for bread, you get a stone." This applies very nicely to many radio programs at present. We sit ourselves down to hear Eddie Cantor's program. Do we hear Eddie Cantor? We do not. We hear a couple of kids. How we used to enjoy Irvin Cobb! Now we must wade through an entire program to hear one moth-eaten joke by Cobb. Edwin C. Hill gets almost unintelligible in his haste to get to his guests. Even Amos 'n' Andy, whom we thought invulnerable, have succumbed. And now we hear a faint, childish voice whom no one can understand, and which adds nothing to the program but a case of chills.
Suppose we went to a movie to see and hear Norma Shearer, and found some radio guys getting off some antics, instead. Would we go again? We would not. And neither are we listening any more to these programs which do not produce what is called for. Are they getting inefficient, or old and lazy?
I am speaking for the members of the Question and Answer Club. We have asked a question, will some one give an answer?

$1.00 PRIZE RADIO AS A MEANS TO PEACE
Radio may now step in and accomplish what diplomats, conferences, treaties and leagues have failed to do. That is, pave the way to world peace.
The British people took full advantage of radio facilities in their recent constitutional crisis. Consequently, Americans now see their English cousins in an entirely different light. If we have criticized them before, we now praise and admire them. Why? Simply because we understand them. Nothing but the marvels of radio could accomplish this!
