...tremendous potentialities of radio, especially in the field of education, been generally ignored. Harvard's Radio Workshop with its student workers and faculty advisers will attempt to point the way to the correction of these ills. From every angle it will attack the problem of presentation of ideas through sound. To quote its Constitution: "The object is to study and perfect new techniques for radio in the writing and producing of plays, poetry, and fiction, and effective presentation of political and sociological subjects of a more general educational character, and in the composition of music as a part of dramatic...
Bold and ingenious was the idea of compressing a week's theatre-going into two nights. But not altogether sound: in slashing two-thirds of what Shakespeare wrote, Welles ripped out much that was dull but more that was vital, either in itself or as connective tissue. Even so, were the chronicle plays concerned solely with martial and kingly events, their torso might provide a kind of splendid theatrical pageant. But the chronicle plays do not lend themselves to mere pageantry, for in addition to the huge comic figure of Falstaff, they contain scene after scene of intrigue, domestic...
James Arthur Miller (Stanford '13, U. S. Navy, Warner Brothers) has a sound-recording system which picks up sound on a film tape in much the same way that the sound track on a talking cinema film does it. Engineer Miller's theory is that most radio shows, concerts, interviews could and should be staged, directed, polished up and edited beforehand, Hollywood style, and then transmitted from recordings. With radio's prevalent system of disc recording, cutting and editing is almost impossible. But with Millertape a complete, timed-to-the-second radio show can be pieced together...
Biding his time, he is working on another application of his system, an invasion of the phonograph field. Capable of a wider fidelity range than wax recordings, film sound tracks suffer virtually no deterioration, since they are played back by a light ray, not by a needle. Engineer Miller plans a sound-track phonograph containing a changeable supply of recordings that may be selected and played just as a button-tuner radio is operated. Estimated phonograph price range: $150 to $3,000. Estimated cost of recordings: about...
...crushed completely, and he knew it. He peered over his shoulder, trying to learn the title. Perhaps, he had read it, and they could have a homey chat on its place in literature. But he could think of nothing to say, nothing, that is, that would not sound as ridiculous as "have you the time?" And while stations and towns rolled by, Vag brooded, and the pretty girl turned her pages. But the demon in Vag would stay chained no longer. Witty speech or not, Vag would know her. Leaning close to her shoulder, he asked quickly, almost too quickly...
