NEW CINDERELLA ANNOUNCES HER
ENGAGEMENT TO EDWARD BROWNING
Says Her "Daddy" Is Build
inff Her New Home on
Long Island Seeks to
Correct "False Impressions."
New York, A jiril 3 Fifteen
year old Frances lleenan is engaged
to marry Edward W. Drowning, she
unnouncod Inst nlglil. l Is build
ing a home for them on a 13 5-aero
nutate at Bollmor, Long Island, she
added.
Tim latest Cinderella of the eld
erly real estate operator made, the
announcement "to correct the false
Impression that 1 am an adven
turess," and to protect her belea
guered admirer, whose attentions to
her are under scrutiny of the Chil
dren's foeb'ty.
Toth Urownlng and the girl had
previously refused to conllrm or
deny reports of their encasement,
although they made no secret of
their friendship.
The girl Is now recovering from
burns on the face said to have
been Inflicted by an unidentified as
sailant who threw acid on her as
she slept, and Drowning today offer
ed to undergo a. skin grafting oper
atlun to save her beauty.
"The date of our wedding has
not been tKcd." Miss Ileuiian s.'ild,
"but it will be sometime after my
r.iNteenth birthday, which Is on next
June
"Daddy" as she cnlled Browning,
has promised to let her pick out
her engagement ling at a Fifth
avenue jeweler's, she said.
' am not marrying Mr. Brown
ing for his money nor fcr a career,"
h "I am a homo-loving
P'Tson and T want Intellectual com
panionship with a man with whom
I can feel safe"
.Miss Jb-enan's mother told Brown
ing yesterday that she skin grafting
may h" necessary. 11" volunteered
at. once to part with some of his
cwu skin if needed to heal the
Inn us.
Detectives seeking the acid-thrower
questioned friends or Frances in
the I 'lit Lambda Tail sorority where
drowning met her. Jealousy may
liavo been the motive for the at
lack. police say.
The I'M Lambda Tail sorority is
also under Invf stlgalion by the Chil
dren's Society, because of Brown
ing's interest In it. Browning has
said be gave the girls their soror
ity pins, sent them flowers and at
tended their parties.
Mr. Pisarra said his society would
investigate Browning's connection
with the group, which is not known
to the authorities at the Textile
ii'dionl. "Personally." he said, "I
would suggest that Mr. Browning
confine himself to the philanthropy
he has said ho aided when young
educating Indians."
"Wo will hale Mr. Browning Into
the courts If this proves necessary,"
said Vincent Pisarra, secretary and
superintendent of the society, "If a
gray-haired man morn than Mi years
old takes a little schoolgirl out for
night rides In an automobile and
takes her to dances nil this with
out a proper guardian, it is time
that something was done about it."
Mary Louise Ppaa and her mother
have declined to comment on re
ports that she will bring damnge
suits against Browning. She volun
teered to be adopted last y ar when
Browning advertised for a compan
ion for his adopted daughter, Dor
lOthy Sunshine, It.
William lleenan, l- ranees father,
a Long Island automobile salesman,
who has been separated from his
wife severnl years, yesterday con
sulted police and later visited his
daughter. Hecnan said that if
Browning really loved Frances he
would Interpose no objections to a
marriage.
"But if Browning is trying to get
a little publicity from this affair," ho
said, "then he and the whole state
of New York could not get mo t
give my permission for it."

The time has come when broad
casting stations must begin to
specialize on their programs, if they
would take on a distinct, and definite
persorality, according to the opinion
of Frederick K. Huber, director of
broadcasting at WHAT,, Haltimore.
"it's an age of specialization and
progressive radio stations through
out the country are beginning to
realize this," Huber says. "Just as
the new man these days is a spe
cialist In his particular field. so
must the new and progressive radio
station lie u specialist in the field
of broadcasting. 1 think the tim.e is
close at baud when radio stations
will realize this more actively and
we will then have 'athletic' stations,
'agricultural' stations, 'health' sta
tions, and so on.
The. coming of spring offers radio
fans an opportunity to check up on
their radio sets, particularly outdoor
connections. The aerial should he
tightened, broken insulators re
placed and connections Inspected.
The set itself should be dusted as
dust, on the dellcutWrts of the ap
paratus causes reception interfer
ence. Radio receiving sets licenses have
been issued to 1,644, 82 persons in
the British Isles. Jt. is expected that
the number of licenses Issued will
reach :,nn0,riric, within the next, few
months. In addition, there are many
"pirates" set owners who do not
apply for a license.
A school of radio broadcasting for
the study of the technique of per
forming before the microphone has
been opened in New York city. A
studio is equipped with a. micro
phone and loud speaker so that ac
tual tests can be made of the appli
cant's ability to talk by radio.
Station WBI3M, Chicago, now has
studio rehearsals for their station
programs. Rehearsals are held many
days in advance and the announcer
knows beforehand every number
that Is to be presented on the eve
ning's entertainment. This assures
listeners that they will hear as
finished a performance as they would
expect from ther favorite theater.
.
Some fans use two aerials, one for
local and another for DX. I.eadins
front a long and short aerial are
connected Just outsldo th window
to a 30-ampcre S. I. D. T, knife
switch, with antenna connection to
the set hooked to tho center con
tact. "Radio Is approaching the danger
ous stago in Its development. It
needs more than anything elso tho
stimulation of Its engineering per
sonnel to consolidate tho progress of
recent, years and to Insure a steady
advancement," says W. H. I'riess,
radio engineering authority,"
Lieutenant John Macready, fam
ous altitude and transcontinental
aviator of MeCoolt Field, Ilayton,
Ohio, will broadcast a special talk
ahout his work through the Crosley
WI.W broadcasting station, Cin
cinnati, Tuesday evening, April 13,
at S o'clock. Macready will be 1n an
airplane and fly at an 'altitude of
R.fuiO feet, brondcastlng through a
transmitter in the airplane. A re
ceiving set in the Crosley WI,W sta
tion near Harrlflon, Ohio, will pick,
up the signals and then rebroad

only In this Instance It Is a radio
program that will come back to
t hem.
No special preparation was made
by WOR In the selection of this
program, Mr. Iloyt recording il
merely ns it was received on an or
dinary type of receiver located less
than a mile from WPB's antenna.
In consideration of tho interference
which predominates In Southern
states, WOR is justly proud of this
example of lis transmission power.
Through the Static
About nil we did as far as radio
was concerned Thursday night and
hint night, was to find out how con
ditions were. On Thursday evening
things were pretty fair. There was
a' small amount, of static, but plenty
of volume and an excellent chance
for 1 X awaiting the individual who
would take the trouble to lind it.
Last night was not as satisfactory.
Kindy static, with consistent, fading,
ni.i-b' the evening one which would
hove been a total failure, had it not
been for the volume of nearly every
station,
Regarding programs of Thursday
night we huvent a thing to ay, be
ciiuso wo took the night off, listening
In three times during tho evening In
order to get a slight slant on Minos

den, where transfer must be made
for points west. Train No. 773 will
wait on siding until three weeks
from the 2Rth anniversary of the
Rattles of Ypres.
Prominent in the program by tho
Fulled States Coast Guard band from
WT1G last evening were the brass
horn solos by C. V. Tate, bandmas
ter. The word euphonium iu used
by the announcer and we couldn't
enjoy tho music until we had looked
I up tho meaning In the dictionary,
The meaning given Is: "A brass In
strument of the saxhorn fanilty,"
therefore, a brass horn. Well, dic
tionary or no dictionary, tho solos
by Mr, Tate were bright spots in the
program. He played a fantasy, "My
old Kentucky Homo," and "Klegle"
from "Le3 Hrynnles," by Massenet.
1 tot h were as near perfect as 'u
euphonium could make them. We
like that word. The band numbers
were well done.
An attempt to hear "The Crufli
flxlon," ns presented at WGY, Sche
nectady, turned out to no avail, since
there seemed to be considerable
racket in and about that vicinity. At
times, the music came through well,
but the general effect was not good.
We heard "The Seven Last Words
of Christ," as rendered by the Trav
elers' Double quartet from WT1C.
The quartet was assisted by the Sym
phonic ensemble and tho cantata
proved to be one of the most satis
factory presentations ever made by
the two organizations. The musical
settings for the seven sections are
beautiful and full justice was done
to them by th? various soloists who
took part. It proved to be an impres
sive program, reflecting the spirit of
Good Friday.
W.T7, offered a program by Mar
guerite Manlerre, soprano, who of
fered a real treat, as far as soprano
solos go. We enjoyed her program,
frankly we did, and that's saying
something, because, as a general
rule, as we've said before, sopranos
don't sound well over the air, since
The Woman's Choice
Is the Family's Delight
TOT
the sets refuse to tuke the high notes
clearly. However, this soloist was in
excellent voice and she sung "The
Lost Chord," "III the Time of Roses"
and "Nearer My God To Thee," that
fine old hymn.
"Why doesn't the Symphonic F.n
sembln appear earlier In the even
ing from WTIC?" was a" question
asked the station officials, and an
swered last evening on the "1VTI("h
Mall Rag" program. The answer was
that most of the musicians are em
ployed isnwhore during the early
part of the evening and It is neces
sary to wait until they complete
their regular work before they can
appear at the studio. The mail bag
program, the first of several, was ex
cellent and the letters proved to be
Interesting.
WGR at Buffalo came through ex
tremely loud, although not. any too
well, as far as quality was con
cerned. The Hotel Statlcr dance, or
chestra presented a wide variety of
dance numbers, including "Hugo
Where I Go" and "Remember." An
other station that came through
loud was WCAK, Pittsburgh, which
was signing oft as we arrived.
And our battery was dying on its
feet, so we put on the charger and
it's still going. We're sorry we
couldn't give you any more dope, but
you know what holidays are.
That's all for today, thanks!
