Once again meet the Arrow, that very up-to-the-minute, tune-whistling detective. So many enthusiastic letters have poured into the BBC since the first performance that it has now been decided to reveal the identity of the actor who plays the Arrow as none other than Billy Milton.
Billy has been on the stage since
1905, acting in all types of production. Some of his successes have been in This Year of Grace, Bitter Sweet, The Bow-Wows, and Shake Your Feet. He commenced his film career in 1930, appearing in Young Woodley , and has since made numerous pictures.
'The recording-van visits Hampshire'
Listeners who have been following the ' Music-Makers' Half-Hour' series must have been disappointed when this feature programme based on a visit to Hampshire with a recording van, which was to have been broadcast a fortnight ago, was unavoidably postponed. This evening listeners will hear some encouraging facts about what is happening day by day among ordinary music-lovers of all classes.
The story of Olaf Trygvesson
Based on the Heimskringla of Snorre Sturlason , and adapted for broadcasting by Igor Vinogradoff
Produced by Val Gielgud
In this production you will hear the story of one of the greatest figures in Scandinavian history. Born abroad, son of an exiled king of Norway, Olaf Trygvesson determined to return and inherit his rightful kingdom during the tenth century.
He roved and raided in true Viking style throughout the European coasts, was converted to Christianity by a hermit in the Scilly Isles, and became the first Christian king of Norway. He was eventually killed in a battle near the Baltic, fighting against a strong Scandinavian combination which had risen to overthrow him.
During the engagement with the Germans in Oslo Fjord recently, the Norwegian minelayer Olaf Trygves son was the only Norwegian ship to fight, not having received the traitorous ' cease fire' orders from
Oslo.
