' 686 Radio Broadcast The attitude of the directors of such stations is, to a degree, similar to that of the merchant who sells to all classes of people because this is the sensible way in which to conduct business. But the wise merchant keeps a quality of goods that will appeal to customers of refined taste, the while he also has a "bargain basement." Yet the same merchant will go to theenormous expenseof installing and maintaining a broadcasting station to advertise his store, and then permit the director of that station to put on programs that appeal only to "bargain basement" customers. Poor advertising, this! The owner of a broadcasting station that permits paid advertising has a strong argument in his favor when he wishes to defend himself. He can justly say that, only as long as no one is piid for broadcasting, every number on every program is in the nature of advertising. He will tell you that the persuasion brought to bear in order to get contributors to programs is that their names going out over the air to countless listeners is a rich source ,of advertising. And so it is, provided they prove worth the hearing. During the last two months an increase has LEON ROTHIER One of the greatest operatic bassos ever heard in this country, and who has for many years been with the New York Metropolitan Opera Company. He is here seen broadcasting from station CK\C, Montreal, prior to a concert given in that city been noticed in the number of good musicians of fairly wide reputation who have broadcast. To be sure, their number is so small compared with the mediocre talent presented that they are all but lost in the mass. But they have been heard and greatly enjoyed. Perhaps some, or all, of them are paid. We have a very strong suspicion, pretty well justified in one or two cases, that certain stations are growing tired of giving programs by "microphone pluggers," as they are designated in the studios, and are engaging the best talent available in their vicinity and paying for it. To a director who desires to put on fine programs and cannot do so because the company for which he works will not give him any must be a godsend money for this purpose, it to find promoters of public concerts who are willing to have their attractions broadcast. The best stations, so far as the present writer's knowledge goes, never miss such a chance. This shows what sort of music they would give the public if they had money to engage good artists. Among the features of this character that: have recently lifted radio music above its, accustomed dullness, are the concerts of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra ^^m broadcast by station KSD, and commented on in this department last) month. Others of notable quality are the Wednesday night pro-- grams of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, broadcast through WEAF. Also, through WEAF, the^ series of New York programs being given by George Barrere and his Little Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Barrere, it is scarcely necessary to explain, has been for more than twenty years first flutist in the New York Symphony Orchestra, coming to this country from Europe to join that organization. He is not only the most famous flutist in America but also has no superior in Europe. For some years he has been at the head of the Little Symphony, which he organized and which confines itself mainly to playing works not suitable for a large orchestra. The broadcasting of his series of New York concerts this season is doing much to lift radio music from its deadly monotony. Then there are the programs of the American Orchestral Society heard through wjz and WJY. This
