We Were in Brooklyn Long Before the Bell House
"Edward L. Hyman and his Brooklyn Mark Strand Theatre artists as they look broadcasting each Tuesday night at 9 p.m., from WNYC New York City. They are as entertaining when heard as they appear in the picture and are always introducing some new feature." (Photo: Radio Digest Illustrated, January 10, 1925.)

LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS
The First WNYC 'Radio Stage'
"The Brooklyn Mark Strand Theatre offered an innovation to Brooklyn theatergoers last week with the first actual radio studio settings that have been presented on the stage of any theater. The interior of a radio studio, carefully designed and artistically furnished with the drapings and the soundproof settings necessary to deaden the sound in the studio, showed radio fans who have never before seen the interior of a studio the exact conditions. Edward L. Hyman, who devised the settings, presented the entire corps of artists who appear on WNYC each Sunday night. A microphone on the stage picked up the singing and playing and carried it to those listening in on WNYC.
"Among the artists who appeared in the stage incident entitled, 'In Our Broadcasting Studio,' were Estelle Carey, soprano; Tom Williams, baritone; Frank Banta, pianist; Edna Berhans, soprano; Rosalie Erck, contralto; Sascha Kindler, violinist; Robert Thrane, cellist; Harry Breuer, xylophonist; Ruth Watson, soprano; Richard Bartlett, tenor; Louis Dornay, tenor; Charlotte Bergh, coloratura soprano; and Carlo Berreti, baritone."
