Advertisers determine most radio careers. Charles F. Gannon of Erwin, Wasey & Co. (agents for Reynolds) "discovered" Alice Joy at a party this autumn, when he was in the midst of concocting the Prince Albert program.

...though his programs were broadcast from Mexico, Dr. Brinkley had not crossed the border. He did his broadcasting by remote control from a hotel room in Del Rio. He said he could broadcast from Milford by the same method, explained: "The Milford program would be merely a telephone conversation in the United States and not broadcast until it is in Mexico."
