Mrs. Charles West
Here is a new speaker who is welcome in this series, for she is introducing a valuable new subject. Twelve years ago Mrs. Charles West, who had a three-acre field on which she had built her cottage, happened to buy a cow. A bowl of cream has appeared with the porridge on her family's breakfast table ever since.
She will describe how she has extended both stock and acreage, by keeping on calves she has bred and buying adjoining land; how she has resold some of her land and now keeps six animals on nineteen acres, divided into four fields.

Fela Sowande and 'Funf'
From the Palace Theatre, Manchester
How does ' Itma ' work out ' on the road'? If you have not seen the version that is now touring the halls, you will have a chance to find out now, at the same time meeting once again those old and uproarious friends of earlier days of wartime broadcasting.
Once again the inimitable Tommy will head his colony of twirps interrupted as usual by the ever- persistent Funf. It made rousing listening before, and will certainly do so again.

Evening prayers
A light comedy in one act by Noel Coward
Characters
Production by John Cheatle
This gay little comedy in the very best Noel Coward manner is included, with works by twenty-four other famous authors, in a St. Bartholomew's Hospital Gift Book entitled 'Rose Window The book rights of Star Chamber were given by Noel Coward to St. Bartholomew's. At his own request the broadcasting fees are to be shared between the Rebuilding Fund of the Hospital and the Actors' Orphanage of which he is president.
Star Chamber is delightfully effervescent, and few should fail to laugh at the casual feckless chatter of Xenia James, president of a fund for destitute actresses, as she presides with her dog Atherton over a meeting of the committee.
