Reginald King has that flair for a very rare thing-the composing of melodious music and the putting over to the best advantage of the melodious music composed by others. He has been broadcasting for some eleven years, and is among the few whose compositions are regularly broadcast by other light-music combinations. Just over a year ago he replaced the Celebrity Trio with the Reginald King Quartet. The addition of a viola gives breadth and colour to the ensemble.

Men of the Merchant Service get together for a yarn and song
Presented by Victor Smythe
(A recording of the broadcast on March 19)
Victor Smythe first produced
'Mariners' Meeting on March 19. In this programme men of the Merchant Service got together for a yarn and a song, and so popular was it with the Merchant Service that Victor Smythe received a special plea asking that it should be repeated in the near future. Today's broadcast is a recording of that programme.
