...Cruft Memorial High Tension Laboratory recently heard from stations on the pacific coast. A while ago it was announced that a message had been received from Berlin. This is not equally remarkable, as will be explained later. Messages from Germany have been received frequently since, and are now no longer the exception. The wireless has also received calls from various southern posts over a thousand miles away.

Moreover, direct wireless communication with Berlin has lately been established...
With the erection of the new antenna over the Cruft Memorial Laboratory, a number of important experiments have been carried on by Professor G. W. Pierce and his assistants. On Wednesday a very distinct message was received from Berlin, a distance of over 3,000 miles, and on several occasions stations on the Pacific Coast have been heard distinctly.

Before coming to Berlin to work with Reinhardt he was a professor of literature in various Polish schools. Several seasons ago he was chosen by the German director to come to America and stage the play of "Sumurun," which he produced so successfully in New York.
