A programme of gramophone records devised by Ronald Hilborne presented by Patric Curwen
Believing that it is characteristic of England to poke fun at its best-loved institutions, Roland Hilbourne has gathered together this afternoon's programme of gramophone records bearing out this belief. You will hear, for example, Clapham and Dwyer making fun of a day's broadcasting, and also a cod ' impression of a village concert. The programme will not be confined wholly to English mischief-making, for it will include Offenbach's ' Gendarme' duet in which uproarious fun is made of policemen.

Whether she is indulging in vivid impersonation, playing the part of an elderly hypochondriac, doing a ' cod ' ballet, or simply being herself in front of the footlights, Hermione Baddeley is at the very top of her class. She is one of those artists who don't care what they look like, who indeed seems to prefer those parts in which she looks like ' nothing on earth '. She was the star of the Little Revue for its long run, and scored her most recent success in the revival at the Little Theatre of The Country Wife.
