Here is a special feature—music, artists, chorus all Jewish ; many of the words in Yiddish. But in case those who do not understand Yiddish might hesitate to tune in, let it be said that everything in Yiddish will be explained by the compere, and everything will be understood.
The music is of all kinds-the more serious traditional melodies will be contrasted with humour. There will be a medley of Jewish folk songs sung in the language of the country-Russia, Rumania, Poland, and so on, and these will be sung by a Hebrew girl, Ryinka Felczer , who has broadcast with the Cafe Colette. A new tenor, Henri Mondi , is to make his radio debut. Much of the music has been composed by Joseph G. Halter , who has devised the programme.
A Jewish revue chorus has been specially got together. The title Almonds and Raisins has been chosen as it is the name of a well-known traditional Jewish melody.
