A folk-song recital by Megan Foster (soprano)
Megan Foster was born at Tonypandy, in the Rhondda Valley, but was brought to London by her parents when she was nine months old. She has sung since she was a tiny child, and still has associations with Glamorganshire; she has a little cottage near Porthcawl. At her first recital in London she made a feature of Welsh folk songs in costume. She has travelled widely in Europe and America, and has sung Welsh songs in many countries, from Spain to Jamaica.

Episode 2 of an adventure story by Jenny Nicholson and Gordon Crier
Music by Kenneth Leslie-Smith with Frederick Burtwell , Gwen Lewis , Ian Sadler , Doris Nichols , Forster Carlin ,
Billy Milton
BBC Revue Orchestra, conducted by Hyam Greenbaum
Produced by Gordon Crier
Listeners will remember that Jessie Matthews was originally to have taken the part of the Young Lady at Large ; in fact her name appeared in the announcement of the first instalment in last week's RADIO Times. That she did not do so is no fault of hers. She was compelled to give up the part owing to a change of arrangements under a film contract over which she has no control.
However, the adventure serial goes gaily on, and everybody owes a debt of gratitude to the deputy Young Lady who took over the part at such short notice.

A comedy by Frederick Lonsdale adapted for broadcasting by Hugh Stewart
Cast
The story opens in Helen Hayle's house in Mayfair, London, in August; then moves to Mrs. Wislack's house in Scotland, in September
Produced by Peter Creswell
Here is a radio version of one of Frederick Lonsdale 's many successes, in which Ronald Squire scored such a hit as the Duke of Bristol when it was produced at the Fortune Theatre in 1927. Six years later he appeared in the revival at the Strand. The Duke is hard up ; Mrs. Wislake has plenty of money. But she is determined that if she ever marries again, it will be 'on approval'. Off they go with two friends. The servants leave and they are left to do their own cooking. What happens is worked out by Lonsdale, master of comedy, with consummate skill. This play is a laugh from start to finish.
