WDFM Orders Crystal Unit For Testing An order for a crystal unit to be used in testing Station WDFM's transponder was mailed Thurs day, Philip Scott, chief engineer for the station, has announced. Scott said reception trouble has been caused by a' high pitched squeal resulting from background stations operating on the same frequency. The Crystal unit will be used to stabilize transmission, which can now be affected by changes in temperature or in the voltage of the power supply, he explained. These factors, he said, may cause the station to shift place on the dial slightly, and interference from outside stations results. Three-week delivery has been promised by the company supply ing the crystal unit, Scott said. When the unit arrives it will be used to test the transponder now operating in the West Dorm area. If the tests prove satisfactory the transponder will be removed and others with the same specifi cations will be ordered for in stallation in other dormitories.

Faced Hazards at 'Flickers' Accompanying the old silent flickers of a bygone era on the piano was a lot of fun, but it wasn't the most appreciated job in the world, remembers Mrs. Mary B. Taylor, secretary to the Dean of Women. Mrs. Taylor knows from first hand experience, because she used to play the piano around 1910 at a few of the old flicker palaces in Bellefonte, all of which have long since disappeared. Whenever the film broke, which in those days semed like every five minutes, Mrs. Taylor said, a sign flashed on the screen with the announcement, "Please be pa tient. The film will resume in a moment." The audience, always contain ing several young men from Penn State and the old Bellefonte Aca demy, was anything but patient, she said. They would immediately begin stamping their feet, shout ing and calling for the film to be gin It was her unpleasant duty to play piano selections until the film was repaired. Seated up front, she made an excellent tar get for popcorn, rolled up paper, and various other items. So, dodg ing pieces of popcorn and trying to ignore the hoots and stamping of feet, she played the piano un til the projectionist mercifully re paired the damage to the film. She began her career at the ripe old age of 13 at the old Bishop Theater at Allegheny and Bishop streets in Bellefonte where a hardware store now stands. There she earned the magnificent sal ary of 25 cents a night. Later she shifted to the Lyric Theater on Allegheny street, just below Res ervoir hill, and then to the Scenic Theater, on High street, where she eventually worked her salary By BILL SNYDER up to $2.50 a night. In those days people paid 5 cents admission to sit in foldaway chairs on a sawdust floor. The program usually consisted of the main fea ture, the serial "The Perils of Pauline," and a c om e d y. She had three main headings for her background music: west ern, action, and "sobstuff." The music had to be memorized since she had no 'time to watch the screen and read music, too. It was always toughest at the first night of a new picture, Mrs. Taylor recalled, because she was never sure of what was coming up next till she saw it flash on the screen. One minute the cruel villian might have the heroine in a terrible fix, and Mrs. Taylor would be playing "hearts and flowers" or some other "sob stuff." Then all of a sudden the hero might dash in, and the situa tion would all for a quick change to action music. Mrs. Taylor had to be on her toes and play the right music at the right time. There was always the danger the audience might start throwing things again. Films were pretty standard in those early days, Mrs. Taylor re members. The direst, blackest, most miserable things imaginable were always happening to the heroine., she said, but in the end everything tur n e d out well, THE DAILY OMLEGIAN.
