Although “Lyd ia” is a story about a woman and will probably appeal more to those of that sex than to men, it has a certain appeal to the “stronger sex” also. Its interest for men is in the fact that Merle Oberon as Lydia tells what a woman really thinks of her suitors (in this case four of them) deep in her heart. The opening scene of the film depicts Lydia as an aged spinster on the occasion of the dedication of an orphanage which she has endowed. She dines with the four men who have been her suitors and by flash-back sequences the love story of each one is told. In these scenes, she lays bare her real emo tions and feelings toward the men who have loved her and tells why they failed to win her. black bag in Ennis April 11 please re- Howard McNail, 221 No. 11.

Once on the air they became confident upon discovering that they had to steady the nerves of their mike-frightened customers. The results of that first network Vox Pop was a big moment for the historians of contemporary radio. The impact on the loud speakers of the nation influenced audience-participation trends in the broadcasting industry which Vox Pop itself has ably paced through a decade of notable ac ceptance by the country’s listening millions. Blame or praise, as you wish, Vox Pop is responsible for starting the radio quiz cycle, the dozens of program copies in one variation and another which have distributed over the kilocycles a largesse of wealth for supplying or answer ing a colossal flood of questions which has not abated to this day. With the passing years, Vox Pop has changed with the times, add ing improvements and keeping ahead of the field. Parks Johnson constantly checked the public pulse, anticipates the audience ap petite for something new and dif ferent, and periodically shifts technique. The show keeps on the move. Advance men, program di rectors, producers, engineers and others travel with Vox Pop up and down and across the country on a busy schedule. The present-day schedule for Bromo Seltzer brings to the CBS network every Monday night a big-time radio production, radical ly different in format and pre sentation from the original Hous ton sidewalk pitch. But with all the changes and no matter what one hears, it’s still the same old Vox Pop. —DRAWING— (Continued from page 1) Class BS, freehand pencil draw ing, was won by Harry Hutson.

Friend or Enemy? They're taking no chances Day and night thousands of civilian volunteers at Army author ized observation posts report Aircraft Flash Messages to Army “filter” centers—by telephone. From this information, each plane’s course is charted on filter maps... relayed to operations boards such as the one shown above—by telephone. Should checking prove the aircraft to be an enemy, the telephone would play an important part in the defense strategy...in warning endangered communities... in mobilizing civilian defense units. Bell System men cooperated with Army authorities in design ing and providing the telephone facilities used by the air defense system. This is but another example of a war-time job well done.
