"Silence, Please"
"THOUGH strict silence is enjoined " "when the red. light is burning,", listeners with acute hearing may on -oc- ; casion have detected agitated. whispering in the studio-the announcer re- . ceiving a last-minute message or an anxious producer dealing with some temporary hitch in his show. The Columbia Broadcasting System of America has recently announced that there will be no more whispering of any kind in its studios. Signlanguage will be used instead. The announcer is to learn a whole code of signals made by _ swinging the arms in various directions and extending them at various angles. The "gesture of cutting off one’s head" is to be a sign that the microphone is no longer required and the current may be switched off. ; Finally,: "when the studio is about to go on the air, the man behind the partition holds his arms above his head like a football quarterback signifying a fair catch." ;
