Here is Tuk Radio London!

Tuk Radio, London

64 page BBC booklet from 1947 for the BBC Bulgarian Service ('Radio Voice at London'). It looks like it is mostly about the BBC World Service and the same booklet might be produced (with the same images) for other international London broadcasting stations.

Radio Nervine

1920s booklet for Nervine. Half the book is about radio and the other half pushing Nervine pills (which were also advertised on the radio.) Pain pills, laxatives, liver pills and Dr. Miles' 'Alterative Compound' - a blood purifier. Dr. Miles mentions St. Vitus dance as something that his nerve pills can sort out - as well as 'the blues.'  The boy in the picture would now be plugged into his iPod.

Health--Most of us can have it

  Good health is the natural state of mankind. All sickness is due to a violation of the laws of health. Most children are born healthy. All would be if their parents had never–through ignorance, indifference or carelessness–violated some of these rigid laws. The loss to the individual and to humanity, through ill health, is so great as to be almost unbelievable...

  Don't delay. Buy the remedy suited to your trouble today. A few doses may do you more good now than a dozen bottles next week or next month.

ACTING FOR RADIO

By Cecil B. De Mille

Director of CBS Lux Radio Theater

  Once when my father was writing stage plays on Broadway with David Belasco, Harper's Magazine paid him $1000 in advance for an article listing the "Ten Commandments for a Playwright."
  After many weeks, my father returned the money with a note reading, "I have written the 'Ten Commandments' of Playwriting but don't dare allow them to be published for fear I might be expected to live up to them."
  If I had inherited my father's caution, I'd never have promised to do an article under such a dangerous title as "How to Act for Radio." Good acting is an art, and for art there are no unbreakable rules except complete sincerity and hard work.
  Bernard Shaw says that the way to learn to write is to write–and write. Similarly, the way to learn to act is to act–and act. You don't need a stage or an audience. Charlie Chaplin, perhaps the greatest pantomimist of our time, mastered most of his technique standing in front of a bureau mirror; Demosthenes, the ancient Greek orator, achieved perfect diction standing on the sea shore with his mouth full of pebbles, talking to the waves.
  I know radio actors who record their voices by means of inexpensive attachments on their home phonographs, then play the records back time after time to study their own deliveries and techniques in reading lines and correct their errors.
  The best beginning, of course, is to get a good teacher. Although I make it a rule never to recommend a dramatic school or coach, there are many excellent ones specializing in radio acting-and remember that acting for radio is different from any other form of the art.
  In the days of silent pictures, our job was to make the audience see sound; in the Lux Radio Theater we try to make the audience hear sight.
