Playing it by ear, TV actress Ellen Madison "tunes in" the newest idea in magazines at the newsstand of Samuel Austrian in Manhattan (at 8th Ave. and 43rd St.). The magazine, which can be played as well as read, is called "Echo." The magazine has a hole running right through its center and the whole issue, containing non-detachable laminated plastic records, can be "played" on the phonograph. The first edition of "Echo" contains five five-minute recordings, which can be played on any phonograph at 33 1/3 speed
