Bobby Pagan followed Quentin Maclean last year at the Trocadero. In 1938 and 1939 he spent eighteen months in Denmark to take over Denmark's first cinema organ, and picked up enough Danish to make his own announcements in that language.
While in Copenhagen he broadcast weekly from Kalundborg, and also made a number of records, including a tune dedicated to Denmark's capital because it derived its melody from the chimes of the City Hall clock.

by Alex. A. Josey
Here is a talk for the thousands of cyclists who are acting as messengers throughout the country at this time of crisis, and are so helping our Defence Services-the Home Guard, the A.R.P., the A.F.S. If, during an air raid, roads are badly damaged, it may well be the cyclist who alone can get through. The man with the pedal bicycle can carry it round a, bomb crater.
Messenger corps are attached to all the voluntary organisations under two schemes, the one run by the National Cyclists' Union and the other by the Cyclists' Touring Club, and Alex. Josey will say something of the work of both.

Symphony No. 4, in A played by The BBC Orchestra
(Section C) led by Marie Wilson
Conducted by Herbert Menges
Mendelssohn complained that the ' Italian ' Symphony, completed in 1831, cost him some of the bitterest moments in his life, and in consequence it was not published until after his death, in . 1847. Despite this fact, it is one of his finest works.
' We may safely conclude '. says
Sir Donald Tovey , ' that Mendelssohn's own dissatisfaction with the " Italian Symphony " is rather an objection to the laws of human growth than the recognition of defects that self-criticism and revision can remedy.'

BBC Theatre Chorus, BBC Theatre Orchestra, leader Tate Gilder , conducted by Mark H. Lubbock
Produced by Desmond Davis
Robert MacDermot and his wife, Diana Morgan, make an ideal team as co-authors for the theatre. Diana Morgan has had much experience as an actress, and, with her husband, wrote a number of successful plays, including This World of Ours and Bats in the Belfry. Her outstanding success, however, was A House in the Square at the St. Martin's Theatre. Robert MacDermot, who was born in India, has also been on the stage. His hobby is a quaint one - the study of heraldry.
