IS NOVEL READING WASTE?
POTTJSD FICTION BY RADIO. A NEW HORROR.. NEW YORK, Doc. 13. Radio has com© to stay in the United States, and its popularity is viewed with grave apprehension by many who see their means of living threatened. Many operatic and concert singers have refused tempting oilers to sing for broadcasting companies, regarding them as enemies of their success. That the danger is real is shown by the |>oor attendance at Sunday afternoon concerts, which once were crowded. People prefer to stay at home and hear the same music through their loud speakers. Other artists recognise that nothing can stop the spread of wireless entertainments. Cosmo Hamilton, the well-known novelist, is one of them. He says that authors must write their stories to be heard —not to be read. , . He himself is now engaged condensing an .80,000 word book so that it can be broadcast in 15 minutes.
