PHILIP THORNTON
This is the last talk in Mr. Thornton's scries, The Musical Switchback, in which he has tried from week to week to show how uncanny likenesses exist between musical fragments gathered from all over the world. When the same emotional stimulus prompts people to express their feelings in sound, they appear to choose much the same melodies and modes. Today Mr. Thornton intends to play over again to you the excerpts from the series that have mont caught the fancy of the listeners who have written to him asking for another chance of hearing them.
