Genevieve Rotve, of Wooster, O., and Edward Kane, of Atlanta, Ga., receiving gold medals, checks for $5,000 and a two years' musical scholarship from the sponsor of this annual national radio contest— Mr. A. Atwater Kent. The Winners of the 1929 Atwater Kent Radio Audition Receive Their Prizes MORE than two thousand young people from every walk in life entered the Atwater Kent Audition this year. After district auditions had qualified groups for State-wide auditions, and State auditions had produced candidates for regional honors, the regional contests resulted in the selection of five young men and five young women (all of whom received cash prizes and musical scholarships) , who competed in a mid-December Sunday night Atwater Kent Hour for national honors. In spite of the fact that several entrants chose the same selection, the contest finals proved to be a program even more interesting and as musically enjoyable as any of the regular Atwater Kent series. While we agreed with the judges as to the winners, we could not have quarreled had the decision favored two others of the young women or one other of the young men. Undoubtedly Miss Rowe and Mr. Kane will appear from time to time on Atwater Kent programs. It will be interesting to hear them apart from contest surroundings.
