/ <* f ' Foreword In issuing this volume, VARIETY recognizes two distinctions in reporting for the field of radio. First, the constantly shifting scene — the incessant change — inherent in any industry, but particularly in a business as young and as big as radio. This is reported in VARIETY week by week. Second, the necessity for compiling a record of these events as they become a part of the past. To this task the VARIETY RADIO DIRECTORY is dedicated. Following this initial appearance of the DIRECTORY, the intention of VARIETY is to make it an annual volume of similar content for distribution in the Spring. The current edition is offered without further comment other than the following: Its omissions — which may be considerable — are indicative of a new and fast-growing business, and the hazards of any such first edition. Its advantages — which, it is hoped, may also be considerable in number — would not have been possible without the cooperation of the radio industry itself.
