Summary

Description
English: The caption in "Radio For All" misidentifies this as being taken on May 30, 1922 in Arlington, Virginia. However, this same photograph appeared on page 5 of the May 23, 1922 issue of the Washington Post, which identified it as the May 18, 1922 broadcast of Harding's speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. This photo also appears on page 3 of the June 3, 1922, issue of "Radio World", which further states that "President Harding delivered, by radio, the most important address he has made since he took office, before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States" and "his words which were broadcast by radio through the powerful United States Navy Radio station at Washington." [NOF] This appears to have been the first presidential speech carried by radio.
