Miss Genevieve Rowe, the Wooster. Ohio college col-lege girl, who received the 53,000 first award in the girls' division last year,- continmed with her , college work and last June took degrees both in arts and in music. With this thorough groundwork she is now in New York studying for grand opera with Yeatman Griffith, a 4vocal pedagogue who has launched a long line of singers oa successful operatic careers. Miss Rowe, along with other first and second place winners, has been heard during the Atwater Kent Hour. Miss Agnes Davis, first- girl to receive the Foundation's highest cash award this was in 1927 is now ln her second year with the Philadelphia Phila-delphia Grand Opera. She openei the season singing in "Gianna Schicchi" by Puccini. On December 11th she was heard in "Thais" and later will have roles in "Lohengrin" and "Tann-hauser." "Tann-hauser." . Wilbur Evans, Philadelphia bass-baritone, has had two years at Curtis Institute and since he .'finished first in the men's division of the first ' audition In 1927, has sung upwards of fifty sue- cessful concerts in all parts of the United States. . On the audible screen he has been featured by Fox Movietone and was starred in a musical . comedy, "Bambino," on the Pacific Coast. Winners of lesser positions in the national finals have gone on carving out successful careers for themselves with' just as great promise as those ' who finished nearer the top. The case of Marie . Hea!y, the Manchester, N. H. soprano, is interesting inter-esting and typical. Miss Healy has sung over the radio repeatedly and has made Innumerable concert appearancc-3 in New England, New York and the Mid-West. In between concert engagements, Miss Healy has continued her music studies in New York and Ciiicago. Last summer she broke tha record of the Chicago College of Music by capturing the scholarship In both singing and dramatic art, each of which carried a cash award of f 1,000. The second National Radio Audition gave young Wilfred Engelman, a Detroit choir singer, his first trip to New York. Ha placed third among the youths in the finals. This was but a prelude to greater things. Returning to Detroit .he sang "Valentine" in "Faust" and "Silvio" in ""Pagliacci" with the Detroit Grand Opera Company. Com-pany. For more than a year now Engelman has been In Milan, Italy, studying opera under Carpi. Fifth among the girl finalists in 1928 the young Cuban, Carmen Rosell, with a fine New Orleans cultural background, has forged steadily ahead in concert work during the past two years. She is now a scholarship student in the New Orleans Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art and is the leading soprano with Le Petit Opera Louisianais. The 'inquisitive scribe who endeavored to get at the far-reaching facts of the auditions, however, how-ever, found another phase to its activities net to be uncovered in the records cf tie national finalists the ten young men and young women each year has favored with each awards and scholarships. Tha broadcasting statiens throughout through-out the country are the custodians cf t:ie-e facts and almost any of the larger broadcasting stations will show them to an Investigator, the inquiring reporter found. There being four distinct dis-tinct phases to the national auction local, state, geographical district and tne national finals what rewards. If any, come to tnose wno lose? t One of the outstanding facts of the 1930 audition,' audi-tion,' as already disclosed, Is that reward does come to those who lose, in the conviction that each of then has something t be developed. In the knowledge that their gift must be further developed and In the inculcation of a spirit to try again. As has been stated, the 1030 record show that more than 60 per cent of the state winners this year we:e singers who had pre-Tioualy pre-Tioualy tried and heca found want! is la one or more necessary qualifications but who, after further study, had won in another triat These, tbe reporter found, were very real rewards in the form of encouragement to individuals and ta communities to continue their participation and support. But there is still another phase the actual and material rewards of some of those who lost in tho audition Itself; who failed to go further than the state or district trials. And this phase presents an interesting commentary on the, very lively interest In, and encouragement of, young talent by the existence of radio broadcasting centers. v . - .. Like in all other centers of popular entertainment, entertain-ment, a constant flow of new material is necessary neces-sary for broadcasting' stations and a constant improvement of old material Is essential to maintenance of public esteem. Broadcasting stations, sta-tions, like newspapers, sell space. In newspapers, it is space in inches. In broadcasting stations it is space in time. Both .institutions are supported sup-ported by their sales of this space and both depend de-pend on popular fancy as reflected in circulation circula-tion for newspapers and in habitual listeners for broadcasting stations to determine the value of the space they have to selL Therefore the annual recurrence of the National Na-tional Radio Auditions brought into broadcasting broadcast-ing studios hundreds of new and unheard of singers from the listener areas of the stations areas in which it was very much to the advantage advan-tage of the station, to have a special intereet. Each state audition has been broadcast and liateners have acted jointly with professional judges in the selectibn of the winners. The result re-sult has been that not only has each of the annual auditions brought into radio stations in each of the states a group of young singers never before heard of but each has brought to the station the best young singers from large numbers num-bers of communities within their broadcasting area the best, as selected by competition. Therefore each local audition, in a general way, and each state audition, in a very positive way, has called to the attention of radio program-makers not only the very best talent in the state, but talent from sections of the state which it was of material and busiucss importance, impor-tance, should be interested in the station and which should be established as habitual listeners. Hence rosters of staff talent of etations in all sections of the country will be found to include the names of perhaps hundreds of these young musicians, now engaged at regular salaries and providing the listeners of those stations with regular programs. Statistics of what this amounts to are almost impossible, but inquiry of broadcasting officials in different sections of t'je country disclosed the fact that the auditions have supplied each of them with from one to five new voices and in some instances with young people of artistic bent Whose talents as instrumentalists or announcers were developed a.ter their voices, first heard in national audition audi-tion competitions, had called the attentioa of the stations to them. An outstanding example of thi3 is found In the person of George Beuchler, one of the best known announcers of the Columbia Broadcasting Broadcast-ing System, whose voice i3 also beard ia bari-t bari-t :ne rccita's through that system from coast to coast. Young Beuchler was a student in Washington, Wash-ington, D. C when his attention was called to ti:e 19-S National Radio Audition. He entered and with ...a baritone voice won the District of Columbia auuition. That was the same year Miss Hazel Arth, also of Washington, D. C, the only contra'to to win a national competition, car. ied away the firet national prize. Beuchler represented the nation's capital In the geographical district competition with Miss Arth, and though she won he lost. Returning to Washington be was cflered and accepted a position with Radio Station WRC, managed and operated by the National Broadcasting Company. Latei he went to the Columbia Broadcasting System Sys-tem where he is now employed as an announce and artist Headaches come at the most inconvenient times, but there's one thing that will always save the dav.
