WHO PAYS FOR BROADCASTING
Pavlowa, Famous Russian Dancer, Says, Through Her
Manager, That Radio and Music Must Combine.
Radio and music eventually must combine and co-
operate on a commercial basis as a solution for the
present problem, "Who Is to Pay for Broadcasting?"
This is the opinion of S. Hurok, concert impres-
sario and manager of Anna Pavlowa and her Ballet
Russe, and indorsed by Pavlowa as feasible.
"I feel that the only solution for the present music
problem lies in a combination of the radio manufac-
turers, orchestra, and concert artists," said Mr.
Hurok. "By that I mean radio manufacturers will
have to go to some one similar to a booking agent
and arrange to have orchestras, bands and individual
musicians give recitals in various parts of the coun-
try, over a certain period of time. These concerts
will be staged in auditoriums and not in radiophone
studios.
"Sale of tickets for admission will pay the salaries
of artists, but the radio concerns will have to guar-
antee to make up all deficits in case the attendance
receipts do not meet all expenses. Such deficit, if
there is any, might be charged to publicity.
''This plan will make it possible to induce opera
stars and famous musicians to appear before the
microphone, because the radio program director will
have guaranteed a satisfactory salary through the
booking agency."
