Mr. Philip Thornton

In this, the eleventh of his talks in the series, Mr. Philip Thornton will deal with humour in music as conceived by various nations. He has collected an astonishing selection of musical 'turns' from such widely separated places as Bengal, Central Africa, Java. and Greece - and hopes to show you that although you may not understand the meaning of the words of the comedians, nevertheless it will appear that what sounds screamingly funny to the Javanese can also raise a laugh in England.
