I Letters are still pouring in at
Town gall at the rite of ever 100,006
a year. People' all over the United
States and also in Canada conduct
1 their own "Town Meeting" by letter
following the program.- Letters range
1 from the crackpot to the weU-reaaon
I ed. From them Town Hall gets many
' ideas for questions to be discussed at
'future broadcasts. All letters are
answered..
Describing some of the problems
Town Hall runs into, Mr. Denny
laughingly pointed out that getting
interesting panels for each Tuesday
night's discussion is not without its
complications. Sometimes as many
as 46 people have to be contacted to
get four Speakers for a single radio
cast, he "said . Town Hall spends
$10,600 a year alone for telephone
and telegraph charges in the effort
to get top-aotch participants.
The Town Han President said only
two {ypes of pbrSons refuse to ap
pear on Town Hall? (1) the "omnis
cient" and (2) those who are "a
fraid" to face the question period.
The lectures bring to the Town
Hall platform prominent thinkers in
all fields of human interest?inter
national events, industry, labor, social
affairs, etc. Among those participat
ing in the current season's programs
are:. William C. Bullit, CJifton Fadi
man, Waiter Reuther, Rath Bryan
Owen Rohde, Robert A. Taft, Harold
L. I ekes, Dorothy Thompson, . and
Chester Bowles.
The short courses offer a series of
"classes" on a single topic by promi
nent speakers, over a period ranging
from eight to 20 weeks. This is the
field into which Town Hall hopes to
expand when it has sufficient funds
to enlarge its building.
The concert department of Town
Hall has become the mecca of aspir
ing young musicians the world over.
Many now celebrated artists appear
ed publicly for the first time at
Town Hall. Last season 107
musicians made their initial ?New
York appearances on the Town Hall
stage.
