Publishers and Producers
Have No Fear of Radio
NEW YORK, Feb. 10. (^—Publish
ers and stage producers have little
fear of the radio displacing the novel
and spoken drama, as predicted by
Cosmo Hamilton, the English novel
ist, but they agree it has establish
ed a definite place in the entertain
ment world.
Hamilton recently condensed his
novel, “Paradise,” from 80,000 words
to a twelve minute play, which he
broadcast from WJZ so successfully
that hundreds of commendatory let
ters wrere received.
Then followed his prediction that
the radio, with the assistance of the
movies, eventually would compel au
thors to adapt their stories for peo
ple to hear from broadcasting sta
tions and to see on the screen.
“The possibility that the radio play
or novel will either substitute for
or supplement the theater or the
printed book seems even more re
mote to us than the once prevalent
opinion that the movie would sup
plant the legitimate stage,” said A.
Page Coper, of Doubleday, Page and
Company.
“As long as the reader finds pleas
ure in the author’s manner of style,
his skill in development of charac
ter, his artistry in words, their
rhythms and their imagery, all of
which can not be savored in a ten
or fifteen minute oral synopsis over
the radio, so long will thenovel re
tain its popularity as a form of art.
“It is, of course, entirely possible
that the radio may develop a form
of its own, distinct from the novel j
or ithe stage production, and that
should have a stimulating effect upon

both the stage and book publishing.”
Speaking for Dodd, Mead and Com
pany, R. T. Bond said he listened
to the broadcasting of Hamilton’s
play and that in his opinion it was
an excellent short story.
‘‘It was beautifully done,” he con
tinued. “But it was not a novel. It
was efective simply because it re
lated a minimum of details center
ing about a single incident. I can
not conceive of a radio audience
listening to any type of novel except
that in which the plot is predomi
nant, and then the mere mechanical
limitations demand that the plot be
reduced to its simplest elements.”
He agreed with Miss Marian
Humble, secretary of the National
Association of Book Publishers that
radio reviews of books have created
more interest in literature. In com
parison with the radio, Miss Humble
said that books are of a more endur
ing quality and that people like to
have them constantly in their homes.
“Ever since I have been in the
theatrical business somebody has
been burying (the poor drama, with
the result that the number of legiti
mate theaters in New York has dou
bled within the last ten years,” Gil
bert Miller, managing director of
Charles Frohman, Inc., asserted. “Be
fore the end of this year at least six
more will be opened.
“Whenever my taste in plays hap
pens to conincide with a sufficiently
large multitude o:f the public all th
aters will be full, no matter how
many splendid works Mr. Hamilton
contrives for the radio.
“In stimating the radio as a com
petitor people always forget the sim
ple human need of a civilized man
or woman to get out of the house
occasionally. Nobody wants to stay
home every evening and vegetate.
As for the movies, it should be obvi
ous that, so far from killing the taste
for the spoken drama, they are com
plementary and, if anything stimulat
ing.”
The views of Crosby Gaige and
other producers were very himilar
to those of Miller. Gaige added that
the radio would 'newer be able to sub
stitute the atmsophere of the spoken
drama and (the personality of the ac
tors.
Another viewpoint, however, is ex
pressed in a despatch from London,
which says that “The White Chateau,”
Captain Reginald Berkeley’s play of
the war, which was the feature of
that city’s broadcasting on Armis
tice day has been voted the moat pop
ular “broadcast” of 1925, in a con
test conducted by the London Even
ing News.
China is seldom made in that coun
try. The word when applied to pot
tery is a misnomer used in place of
porcelain.
Train oil is not so called because
it is used to lubricate trains. It is
a whale oil and was called tran by the
Scandinavian fishermen.
At the inquest over W. E. Edwards
at Shrewsbury, Eng., a doctor tes
tified that Edwards had been “pick
led alive” by liquor.
Mint Ruby Silver Mine
Outlook Is Encouraging
Harry Wertz and Moose Johnson,
owners of the Mint Ruby Silver mine,
near Chulitna, expect to see certain
interested parties visit their property
in June for the purpose of beginning
actual development work along lines
which will be agreed upon. Word to
this effect was received by The Gate
way in the recent mail from the Inte
rior.
Johnson and Wertz have prospected
and carried on the development work
on their ground for the past two years
and have it now opened, sufficiently,
for anyone to make a fair appraisal
of the ledge. It has long been a known
fact that their claim bore all indica
tions of being exceptionally good look
ing but lack of capital has thus far
retarded the development work. That
capital has been secured is welcomed
news to the many friends of the part
ners.
It is reported that the pupils of the
local schools will have a two-day va
cation beginning on February 22,
Washington’s birthday. Lincolns birth
days, which is today, will be celebrat
ed at the same time.

Boxer Takes South
Many Tons of Scrap
from Alaska Railroad
The U. S. M.S. Boxer, Captain Whit
lam, departed from port last night
at about 8 o’clock, southward bound*
for Seattle. The Boxer is loaded with
[ 306 tons of scrap iron and car wheels
from the Alaska Railroad which will
be discharged at Seattle and Tacoma.
Capt. Whitlam stated yesterday he
expected to return to Seward about
March 7 with another boat load of ties
and general merchandise for the rail
road.
Owing to the fact the vessel has not
yet been overhauled for its next sea
son’s operations in Southeastern Al
aska and in the Bering Sea, the Boxer
will probably be overhauled at Seat
tle following the next trip to this
port.
Prior to carrying supplies to the Bu
reau of Education schools along the
Bering coast, points south were sup
plied first.
