RADIO MOVIES NEXT ON LIST.

WASHINGTON. March 21.—Every family will bo able in the near future to gather about the .radio set in the parlor and see a complete moving-picture show.

This is the confident prediction of C. Francis Jenkins, the well-known inventor, who is transmitting and receiving moving pictures. Jenkins recently startled the public by tho transmission by radio of photographs from 'Washington to Phihudelplpa“l will have my apparatus ready for a trial within a very . short while,” Jenkins paid. “I have nearly finished it, and am absolutely confident that tho experiment will bo successful. “There is nothing ip tho way of transmission of moving pictures but the matter qf speed,” he declared, "and I am sure I can provide for that,” Jenkiqs created a sensation in the opening session qf Secretary Hoover’s radiq conference op Thursday by a brief announcement that he was perfecting the movie apparatus and would like to have this considered in the allotment of wave lengths, “It will be a very simple affair,” he said in describing the receiving machine that will be used in his home.

“It will consist of a little box, about 10 by 12 by 15 inches, which will be connected with the receiving set in the same way that the headpiece i§ paw. The electrical impulse, instead' of being transferred into sound,’ will bo changed : n the delicate instruments within the box into pictures, just as in the still-ohotograph-tra'nsmitting apparatus already perfected. “The farr'ly ran gather . around in the evenings apd have their own moving picture performance, 5 ' Jenkins is not sure yet whether he can perfect tile apparatus to the requirements of A crystal set or not. However. ho sard if would be easily adapted to the bidibary sized radio set used in most ■ Romes. A receiving machine should not cost over £l, he said.
