TELEVISION AT ITS LATEST
WORD “AUDIENCE” OUT OF DATE . Shouting from the housetops is an old phrase for advertising oneself and one’s wares, but Sir Harry Greed, chairman of the Baird Television Company, recently went much higher than the housetops to impress his audience with the value of the invention for which his company is responsible. .He climbed the south tower of the Crystal Palace, from which the whole valley of London can be seen. Speaking in a soft voice, Sir Harry showed himself to his audience, which sat in a room in Wardour Street. Indeed, he proved that the word audience, derived from the Latin word to hear, is now strictly out of date, for they saw him on a screen though he was in a room seven miles away.
