Mr. S. P. B. MAIS
Relayed from America
(In co-operation with the National Broadcasting
Company of America)
Mr. S. P. B. Mais left Liverpool on September 23 for the most spectacular adventure in the short but eventful history of broadcasting. He landed in New York on October 1, and after spending three days in that city, went on to Washington and then to Jamestown. He broadcasts tonight probably from Lexington, Virginia, the scene of the first English settlement in North America. His job is to make the modern American scene -country, people, cities-live in the imagination of his listeners in this country. It is a gigantic, fascinating task that will need all the enthusiastic energy of the broadcaster who made ' The Unknown Island' and S 0 S ' two of the outstanding successes of British broadcasting. Mr. Mais will travel all over the United States between now and the end of the year. His next broadcast will be on October 20 from somewhere in Florida.
