the tuneful singer
Some of his records
You have only once to hear the extraordinarily appealing quality of Jean Sablon 's voice to understand why he is one of the most popular cabaret artists in France. In fact he sings his songs as none other could sing them, with infinite personality and an unfailing way of appealing even to those who do not understand French. He does not, however, sing only in his native language, and he has recently made several recordings of songs in English, some of which you will hear this evening.

at the piano
This versatile and popular artist-known in the profession as Pat-was born in Dublin, but spent her early childhood in Birmingham. There she studied for four years at the Granville Bantock School of Music. and won two scholarships. She came to London when she was seventeen, became interested in rhythm music, listened, to use her own words, to 'crowds' of dance bands, made a record in syncopated form and secured a contract for eight years' recording.
Pat has been broadcasting since Savoy Hill days and must have been on the air more than four hundred times.

in a Schumann recital
Fantasy-piece in A flat, Op. Ill Symphonic studies, Op. 13
Schumann composed his Symphonic Studies in 1834, when he was twenty-four years of age. These magnificent piano studies are written in the form of a theme and variations. Schumann said: 'Imay call them pathetic; but I have to show in varied lights whatever there may be of the pathetic in them.'
The theme is by Baron Hauptmann von Fricken, who composed a set of variations on it for flute. The work was sent to Schumann for his criticism and he was greatly impressed with the possibilities of the theme for piano treatment if suitably adapted.
In the finale, however, it gives way in importance to the opening melody, which is based on an air from Marschner's Der Templer und die Jüdin, sung to the words 'Who is the highly honoured knight' (referring to Richard Ca'ur de Lion), and ' Rejoice, proud England ' (a tribute to Sterndale Bennett , to whom the Studies are dedicated).

Tonight's talk, and those that follow it, will examine the outstanding social developments that have taken place in Great Britain and the Empire within the span of living memory. It will also be one of the objects of the series to look ahead and judge by past experience what is likely to develop in the future.
The whole series will be under the general editorship of Dr. J. J. Mallon , Warden of Toynbee Halt.
