A Dream Fantasy of 1926

on 2LO London

View in Radio Times

Listeners will remember that on last New Year's Eve there was broadcast from the London Station a programme entitled 'Reminiscences of 1925,' during which brief excerpts from some of the most popular items of the year were introduced. This programme met with such general appreciation that again this year we shall look backward upon the year's achievements and present in a few brief flashes some of the favourite items of 1926. The programme this evening, like that of last New Year's Eve, has been conceived and written by Mr. R.E. Jeffrey. It is a dream-fantasy; and listeners are asked to bring to their aid an unfettered imagination and an undivided attention. The listener is advised to choose a comfortable chair, lower the lights of the room and as far as possible ensure freedom from interruption. As the fantasy progresses there will be mingled impressions of the following outstanding transmissions of the year: Dame Melba; 'The Mikado'; Shakespeare's Heroines; The Croyland Bells; The National Concerts; Sir Harry Lauder; The Savoy Bands; Sandler and his Orchestra; The New Gallery Organ; 'Winners'; Will Hay; 'La Traviate'; 'Elijah' and the Nightingale.
