(A special)
All fans of Messrs. Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne - and there are many of them-will welcome this return for a run of six weeks of Crooks' Tour. The particularly English form of craziness so aptly developed by this pair has made a hit not only in radio but also on the films, in The Lady Vanishes and Night Train to Munich. So here are Charters and Caldicott once more, keeping up the mood with which you are familiar, with the help of an hilarious cast. Naunton Wayne is now appearing in Black Vanities at the Victoria Palace, while Basil Radford is in the Army.

Josef Suk , a Czech composer and Director of the State Conservatorium at Prague, died in May, 1935, at the age of sixty-one. Apart from the fact that he toured the world with the Bohemian String Quartet, he enjoyed international fame as a composer. A pupil of Dvorak, he later became one of the leaders of the modern Czech school. His music, however, is very melodious and lyrical and belongs to the past rather than the future.
