sung by Cicely Hoye (soprano)
Listeners who are up and about at this hour will appreciate, possibly more than Miss Cicely Hoye the title of her first song. She is certainly broadcasting one morning veryearly ', and may well feel at the end of her recital that she needs no lullaby, Elizabethan or any other kind!
She has been broadcasting since
Savoy Hill days, both singing and playing the piano.

5.50 Songs by Eileen Vaughan
Presented by Bill MacLurg
Have you ever noticed and wondered why so many songs have been written about those rather unromantic things boots and shoes, to say nothing of feet ? This programme won't tell you why this is so, but here are some of the songs. Perhaps you can find the reason.
A fortnightly programme reflecting the life, the song, and the story of the people of France
This is the second of a new series in which English people who love and understand France are coming to the microphone to discuss various aspects of the French national life and character. The speakers are varying each fortnight and will tell listeners about such things as French food, the stories of French regiments, life in the French countryside, and famous Frenchmen in history.
From time to time visiting Frenchmen to this country will be invited to the microphone to speak from the French point of view. Such speakers may include politicians, scientists, poets, artists, musicians, and Frenchmen serving with the Forces.

Radio script by Keith Ayling
Production by Ronald Waldman
During the last two years of the last war, if you went into an officers' mess in France or Flanders and someone put a record on the gramophone, it would be as likely as not ' If you were the only girl in the world '-for that song, sung by George Robey and Violet Loraine , was only one of several songs from The Bing Boys to become a hit. (Think of ' Let the great big world keep turning' and ' Another little drink ', to name only two.)
The Bing Boys Are Here was produced at the Alhambra in April, 1916, and Emma and Lucius became as famous as their creators, Violet and George. The Bing Girls Are There followed at the same theatre the following February, when Violet Loraine played Emma again, but Robey was not in it. He reappeared with her, however, at the Alhambra 'in February, 1918, in The Bing Boys on Broadway.

A dramatic history by ' Taff rail
Produced by John Cheatle
Renowned as a writer of sea stories, ' Taffrail ' has also proved himself a master of microphone technique, and in his programme tonight has accomplished a dramatic survey of the convoy system.
The story he has to tell starts in the early days of convoys during the Napoleonic wars and carries their history onwards through the war of 1914-18 right up to the present.
The programme is partly documentary. Listeners will hear the words of H.M. the King, Lord Jellicoe, Mr. Chamberlain, and Mr. Churchill. There will be quotations from Mr. Churchill's speeches in both this war and the last.
A real ' Taffrail ' note will be struck in two scenes, one on board a convoying destroyer, and another inside a German submarine as she lies in wait for her approaching prey.
