STUDIO AUDIENCES
Sir--I may be wrong but I understood radio programmes were for licensed radio listeners. If that is correct then I don’t quite see why 150 persons (who may or may not have paid license fees) permitted on sufferance to the studios, should be allowed to mar the effect of the item by’ sudden, almost .antiphonal and vociferous applause. This nullifies the point of a quip, joke, repartee, or full appreciation by listeners on the radio of the item, which the audience, plus vision, can appreciate more instantaneously than can radio listeners, One is led to pre‘sume that a visible audience, or the "gallery," must be played up to. There should be a notice writ ‘large and insisted upon, to this effect: "Audiences here are requested to stifle, or at least ‘delay, vociferous applause."
