and geographical districts, aspiring
singers, were startled to heaV the voice
o the "boss" when he was supposed
to he at lunch. They were caught
indulging in their favorite sport of
giving closer inspection than their
duties required to the thousands of
photographs received from young
singers entered in" the Third Na
tional Radio Audition. One of tbc
girl-, had just passed lo her three
fellow "judges" a picture she pro
claimed to be the real "man of her
choice" among all of them.
TJicy were admiring and pointing
out the merits of the photo when the
boss came quietly into the room
accompanied by a photographer!
The above picture is the result.
Massed on the desk were photo
graphs from more than a thousand
communities all of very presenta
ble young men -who had aspired tq
reach the finals in the National
Radio Audition, which will be held
in New York, December 15, and be
broadcast from coast to coast dur-'
uig "thc'Atwatcr Kent Radio Hour.
Thirty-five per cent more com
munities in all parts of the United
States held auditions this year than
ever before.' The ten finalists who
will broadcast from New York will,
