IS GUEST AT DINNER
Queen Marie of Rumania did not keep an engagement to speak from 21 stations in a national hook-up, in what was represented as a misunderstanding as to time, and thousands of radio listeners were disappointed. Her address later at a dinner given in her honor by the iron and steel board of trade was broadcast by three stations; earlier in the day she had lunch with bankers at the Bankers Club, and a physician was called to her hotel suite to attend a cold.
Queen Marie of Rumania, during a round of speaking engagements in New York
New York, Oct. 23. - (AP) - A physician was called to the royal suite at the Ambassador hotel today to attend Queen Marie of Rumania, whose cold was considerably aggravated by a strenuous series of speaking engagements yesterday.
The queen's condition was said to be not serious and the doctor's visit did not disarrange the day's schedule of either the prince or princess.
New York, Oct. 23 - (AP) - Thousands of radio fans who counted upon hearing Queen Marie of Rumania have been disappointed. Because of what was represented as a misunderstanding as to time, she failed to keep an engagement to speak from 21 stations in a national hook-up last evening, but her address at a dinner given in her honor by the iron and steel board of trade at the Hotel Commodore later did get on the air via three stations. The announcement was that the Queen would speak for the national hook-up between 8:30 and 9 o'clock. She arrived at the studio of WJZ at 8:05 and left a few minutes later when informed that a little time must elapse before the hook-up could be completed. A program of music, paid for by a commercial company, was being broadcast by WJZ at the time. May Talk Next Friday A typewriter company, which broadcast the Dempsey-Tunney fight, had arranged for the national hook-up last night. After the queen's speech at the steel dinner the announcer of WJZ said over the air that an ice cream company had arranged for the Queen to broadcast next Friday at 9 p. m. If her schedule is followed she will then be in Winnipeg. At the studio of WJZ, while the queen was waiting in the reception room, David Sarnoff, vice-president of the Radio Corporation of America, was trying to arrange an immediate hook-up. When he returned to the reception room to find the queen had gone, he immediately went to her suite at the Hotel Ambassador to offer apologies. Mrs. Oliver Harriman, speaking for the queen, said other engagements prevented her majesty from waiting. The queen's speech at the steel dinner was broadcast by WJS, New York; WRC, Washington, and WBZ, Springfield, Mass., and Boston.
Elbert H. Gary Presides Elbert H. Gary, who presided, asked the Queen to talk about herself. "Most people like to do that and my family tells me I talk too much about myself," her majesty said. "But it is through me that I want you to know and love my country." Her crown, she said, "signified a mission to build up Rumania and lead it toward progress." She then related that an elderly Rumanian lady had once called her stupid, saying that she did nothing. "But I did bear six children," she said, "and I thought that was doing something." Earlier in the day the queen had lunch at the Bankers' Club on Lower Broadway with bankers who control billions of dollars. Reporters were excluded.
