FAMOUS CITY OF SKYSCRAPERS LOOKS TO TELEVISION.
[By C. E. Butterfield]
New York, Mar. 11. Broadcasting, for which Now York's "Radio City" is named, will Inaugurate this huge proposed en
tertainment centre,
Nowest in the amusement field, this fast-expanding enterprise is to be the first tenant of the
gigantic group of buildings that will bring to the Fifth Avenue dis- theatrical and trict an elaborate radio set-up.
Radio City is the stretch over three square city blocks, from 48th to 51st Street and from Fifth to Sixth Avenue, facing on Fifth.
Tentative plans provide that; the 66-storey skyscraper, the cen- tral structure of nine, new home of the National Broadcasting Com- pany, is to be among the first completed. It is to be ready about May 1, 1939. with the entire "city", in operation by 1984 or 1935.
Thus, with radio as the keynote, there will be grouped together the movies, the theatre, the opera and television, and such "aidelines" an phonograph, records, broadcasting recording and movie-making.
In keeping with the progress of television, which by the time Radio City is ready is expected to be a nation-wide basis, developed on this art may give the city its trade mark.
There are plans under con- place the high sideration to antenna towers and the trans- mitter for radio pictures on the roof of the highest structure.
Three of the buildings will be akyscrapera. Flanking the central 65-storey NBC headquarters will be two 45-storey office buildings. Two theatres, one for "movies and sound scating 6,000, and the other for vaudeville and other spectacles to seat 4,000, have been determin- ed upon.

to bo included. Whether it is to be oc- cupied by the Metropolitan Opera Company remains to be decided, but negotiations are under way.
Facing Fifth Avenue is to be a shopping and banking building of oval constraction in contrast to the square lines of the city.
Besides NBC, which with its 27 studios will have the first 12 floors of the 65-storey building, there will be provision for the Radio Cor- poration of America, Radio-Keith- Orpheum and R. C. A. Photophone. Television is to be given every
