Among the Australian artists who have already appeared in this popular series are Claude Dampier and Billie Carlyle , and Joan Hammond , while artists who have made big successes in Australia like Rupert Hazell and Elsie Day have also appeared. But the high-water mark was reached last week when that great and charming actress,
Dame Irene Vanbrugh , was heard. During tours in Australia and New Zealand she appeared in no fewer than twelve different plays.
Supporting Cyril Ritchard and his charming wife Madge Elliott is our old friend Mr. Jetsam, whom many have not yet recognised in Malcolm McEachern. They are Australians all three.

Musical entertainment from somewhere in England
Sonata for cello and piano played by Haydn Rogerson and Stephen Wearing
Bax's Cello Sonata was written for Beatrice Harrison in 1923. I,n Cobbett's ' Survey of Chamber Music' Edwin Evans describes the work as follows: 'The music is dramatic, and it suggests a poetic basis which might almost take a narrative form, especially in the first movement, where the transformation of the principal subject gives a hint of heroic adventure and conflict. The second might be entitled "In an Italian Garden". It has a rich sensuousness......
' The third movement opens in the satanic mood of the scherzo in the viola sonata, but becomes more lvricai and merges into an epilogue, in which the combative elements of the first movement return in peaceful suavity.'
