The romance was as quick as it was unexpected. Within ten daya Mr. Robinson proposed and found for himself a wife, whose name, at the prosent time, is just as famous as his own-which, I think you will admit, is saying a lot. It would be unpolitic to state, that Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Robinson are actually the happiest of all the radio couples, but I know of none happler.. It would not be possible!

THE ROMANTIC SIDE.

Marriages Through the Wireless.

An ex-announcer writes in the Sheffield Weekly Telegraph:-

It is difficult to imagine a place whera hardheaded efficiency could be more to the fore and sentiment less in evidence than in a broadcasting studio. The dim, red lights over the doors, the quiet voiced nouncer, the festooned ceilings, and the carpeted floor all tell of a practi. cal and scientific business calculated to give the maximum of service with the minimum of trouble. In such surroundings the singing of a love song seems a trifle incongruous. Indeed, more than one experienced singer has told me that the render- ing of a sentimental ballad in the studio is mado a hundred times more difficult by the hardness of the sur rounding atmosphere.

Yes, there is no doubt about it, broadcasting is certainly a cold- blooded business. Yet because it is a business run by human beings with the hearts and feelings of or dinary mortals, romance has pene- trated on many occasions into that hallest of wireless holies studio.

the

I could name a dozen couples who, thrown together by wireless work, have become happily married. Some of them, I must admit, are com paratively unknown, whilst others it would not be polley to mention. Among the latter are two well- known announcers whose mar- riages, purely for business reasons, have never been mentioned.
