Gordon Crier's 'things' have made a rare name for themselves as radio peculiarities. The Divisible Man is the second of his new 'things', the first, The Ant Who Didn't Like Work, having been broadcast on June 19.
The 'Divisible Man', who finds that he can be in two places at once, fancies himself of possible use to Whitehall. Into his story comes that old Crier creation, Mrs. Elfrida Gulp, the fairy.

Clifford Curzon won a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music at the age of twelve, and when sixteen made his first bow as a soloist at a Promenade Concert. On leaving the Royal Academy of Music he studied under Schnabel, and in 1929 made a tour of Germany. In 1931 he cave up his professorship at the Royal Academy of Music 'o fulfil his extensive conci rt engagements.
His virtuosity as a pianist is recognised both in Paris and New York, where, at the Carnegie Hall, he introduced John Ireland's E flat Concerto to America.

Jelly d'Aranyi (violin) ORCHESTRAJELLY D'ARANYI AND ORCHESTRA ORCHESTRAJELLY D'ARANYI AND ORCHESTRA
Ravel's 'Tzigane' was composed in 1924 and dedicated to Jelly d'Aranyi, who gave it its first performance. Like Ravel's choreographic poem 'La Valse', which is a kind of apotheosis of the Viennese waltz as perfected by the Strauss family, ' Tzigane ' sums up the very spirit of the Hungarian rhapsodies of Liszt. The music is in the form of the Hungarian czardas, the first section of which is slow and stately, the second animated.
Address by the Rev. J. W. Welch ,
Director of Religious Broadcasting
