by Gladys Thompson
This talk is only indirectly concerned with the sea. The yarns and cables are those met with in the art of knitting. Mrs. Thompson has made a specialised study of the history and traditions of English knitting, and has discovered an interesting story in the knitted guernseys worked by Yorkshire fisherfolk. Many places have their own traditional patterns and stitches, and much seafaring lore goes to the making of these designs.

Popular medley
When he was six years old Donald Thorne joined the choir of St.
Mark's Church, Clerkenwell, and soon knew all the hymn-tunes by heart. At the age of fourteen he was appointed organist. Since he first won his spurs in the West End of London he has been responsible for arranging many of the big hit-numbers for such famous dance-band leaders as Jack Hylton, Henry Hall, Jack Payne, Debroy Somers, and Carroll Gibbons.
Perhaps the most memorable event in his career was when he played in the dance band which appeared before the King and Queen at Lord Lonsdale's golden wedding celebrations.

Kathleen Long, who won a scholarship to the R.C.M. at the age of thirteen, was one of the first to broadcast from Savoy Hill. In those days she specialised in modern French music, though today she is better known for her playing of Mozart.
In 1937, she paid her first visit to the United States and Canada, and made a great success when she broadcast from Montreal. Apart from her solo work, she is pianist with the English Ensemble, and has also been heard at the microphone in sonata recitals with Adila Fachiri.

Sonata for cello and piano, Op. 4 played by Norina Semino (cello) John Pauer (piano)

Kodaly's Sonata for cello and piano, Op. 4, was composed during the years 1909-10, at the same time as the First String Quartet. Kodaly was then twenty-eight. The music is dramatic in character and varied in mood. The first of its two movements is entitled 'Fantasia', while the finale, which is in sonata form, is imbued with the spirit of Hungarian folk dance.
