The story of the great news agency by Robert Barr
Produced by Robert Kemp
There cannot be a newspaper reader unfamiliar with the name ' Reuters '. From all over the world correspondents at the finger-tips of its vast organisation send their cables, as they have done for nearly ninety years. Robert Barr is himself a well-known journalist, and in his programme tells the story of Reuters from the days when it actually, on one occasion, used carrier pigeons, through the history of its establishment as a British Agency in 1851, right up to the present. Two of Reuters' best-known correspondents will take part in the programme.
Sonata for violin and piano, Op. 82 played by Bessie Rawlins and Reginald Paul
All Elgar 's chamber works, the Violin Sonata, Piano Quintet, and String Quartet, were written during the years 1918 and 1919. Each is constructed on much the same plan: three movements, no scherzo ; and the slow movement is in each work the jewel within the setting, a movement of great charm. Thus in the Violin Sonata, to be played tonight, it is the Romance that lingers longest in the memory. But the whole sonata is full of lovely writing.
and his Band with Harry Davis featuring Beryl Davis , Diane, Bob Dale , Jan Zalski (famous Polish tenor), and Eddie Palmer with his novachord
Oscar Rabin 's Band, the band of the week, is famous for many things: its excellence and popularity ; the youth and beauty of two of its regular singers, Diane and Beryl Davis ; and, last but not least, the inimitable compering by Beryl's father, Harry Davis , who has played so big a part in the band's rise to fame.
Harry has been with it since it was formed sixteen years ago. A keen golfer, he is often to be seen on the golf course of' the town in which the band is appearing giving a few tips to other members of the band.
