Alexander Woollcott presents THE STORY OF IRVING BERLIN

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

with music under the direction of Victor Ray
(From New York)
Probably the best-known broadcaster in America and certainly one of the most popular American radio figures over here, Alexander Woollcott can be relied upon to do full justice to that versatile genius and melody-maker, Irving Berlin.
Many listeners will remember
Woollcott's Boxing Day broadcast on Stephen Foster , composer of ' Swanee River'. His talk tonight will be similar In form, and will encompass both the work of Irving Berlin and the man himself. The broadcast will be illustrated by examples of Berlin's melodies, and you may certainly expect to find yourself humming.
