EMPIRE BROADCAST.
MR MARCUSE'S EXPERIMENT. (BT CABLE—PESSS ASSOCIATION' -COPYRIGHT). (AUSTBALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, September 11. Fifty Australians, disregarding breakfast, sat in the Columbia Gramophone Company's studio watching the microphone and wondering whether Mr Gerald Marcuse's first Empire broadcast was reaching Australia. Then came a breakdown. A condenser suddenly failed, causing the generator to blow out, and the plant, which hitherto had stood the severest tests, was mute for fifty minutes. It was something of an achievement for Mr Marcuse and his two assistants to rig an emergency supply from the public mains, but it necessitated the cutting-down of the programme by half. As all the items were picked up by valve sets in the South of England, there are strong hopes that most of them got through. Mr Marcuse is undismayed, and says he will continue pioneering. Be is sanguine of ultimate success. DUCHESS OF YORK TO BROADCAST. (austkauas and n.h. cable «asoaiA'r:oN.) LONDON, September 11. The Duchess of York's first broadcost will bo made fronv Glasgaw at 11.30 on the morning of September 21st, when she receives the freedom o£ the city.
