THE AGE OF RADIO.
ALARM AMONG NOVELISTS
New York, Dec. 13.
Radio has come 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 offers to sing for broadcasting companies, regarding them as enemies ot their success.
That the danger is real is shown by the poor 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. Mr. Cosmo Hamilton, the well-known novelist, says that authors must write their stories to be heardnot to be read. He himself is now engaged in condensing an 80.000 word book so that if can be broadcasted in 15 minutes.
