Jesu, star of consolation (Macpherson)
"Jesu, star of consolation,
Rock of shelter in temptation,
Who dost give for our salvation
Bread of everlastingness:
Where thy blessed saints before thee
Kneel, and silently adore thee,
Jesu, by the Cross that bore thee, Grant us sinners to find peace"

A talk on ships' pets by ' Bartimeus
Here is a breezy talk in the true ' Bartimeus' style, a talk with the salt tang of the seven seas in every line of it. During his career at sea ' Bartimeus ' has sailed with many strange shipmates in the form of pets. There was a turkey who lived on rum and biscuits, a bear who enjoyed swimming and church music, and a hare who led a blameless life until, in a March frenzy, he leapt down a ventilator and was killed. Most ships have a pet of some kind or another, though listeners to ' Bartimeus ' this morning will probably be astonished at their infinite variety.

Every club has its bore, but surely no club had a bore more stupendously devastatingly dull than Col. Wyndham Baggerley-Chattens, who told stories of such tedium and length that his fellow members despaired of what to do with him.
There are many ways of dealing with bores, and one is to suck them dry taking such interest in their stories that they themselves are bored. This is tried with disastrous results, which in themselves lead to the Colonel's being found with an elephant tusk thrust down his throat, an assegai run through his chest, a dagger in his back, a silk scarf round his throat, and a wound on the forehead from a piece of whale-bone. Nevertheless, the play is light-hearted enough, and the Colonel conscientiously boring to the end.

Jack (' Blue-Pencil Warner will be there
The Garrison Theatre Orchestra conducted by Lieut. Charles Shadwell
(late West Yorkshire Regiment)
Produced by Harry S. Pepper
This popular programme, which owes so much of its success to Jack Warner , who has made a name for himself second to none since the outbreak of waf, will be enriched tonight by pre-war stars of the air and the theatre. Clarkson Rose , among the greetest of pantomime dames and proprietor of 'Twinkle' — 'Eastbourne's Public Entertainment No. 1 ' -is a host in himself. All will welcome a broadcast by his gifted wife, Olive Fox. Elsie and Doris Waters , broadcasting for the second time with their brother Jack Warner , invariably bring down the house.
And don't let us forget the clever little actress, Charles Shadwell 's daughter, who sells programmes, chocolates, cigarettes. Joan Winters supplies most of her own wisecracks. At the age of four, she used to turn cartwheels in her parents' dressing-room, a trick taught her by the chorus girls.
