Played by Stanley Miller at the theatre organ.
This programme should be of special interest to factory workers as Stanley Miller, who is giving his first broadcast today, is himself employed in an aircraft factory. Aircraft builders, gas-mask makers, dyers and cleaners, printers, spinners, sugar refiners, precision-instrument makers, and wholesale grocers are among those who are regularly listening to 'Music While You Work'. Every day new industries are added to the list.
