Record programme of tunes and songs from the stage. Written and arranged by Roy Plomley

at the organ of the Regal, Beckenham
Selection
Reginald New, popular organist of the Regal Cinema, Beckenham, at which theatre he celebrated his first anniversary last August, has. been broadcasting for many years. He first started cinema work in 1920 and had various London appointments before he went to Birmingham nine years later. From there he gave over four hundred broadcasts. New succeeded Reginald Foort at the Regal Cinema, Kingston, went from there to the State Cinema, Dartford, and from there to Beckenham.
When Beckenham raised £600,000 for their War Weapons Week, New helped considerably in raising this total by parodying popular tunes and giving a * savings angle to each parody.

' Cadet Roussel ' is a French folk song and forms one of a collection of folk songs in modern settings known as the ' Repertoire Collignon '. There are several verses to the song-a characteristic of folk ballads-and four English composers, Frank Bridge. Arnold Bax , John Ireland, and Eugene Goossens , were each asked to set the accompaniment of one, or more, verses in their own manner for inclusion in the collection. Subsequently Goossens, when crossing America by railroad, passed his time in scoring his own and his colleagues' settings for orchestra.

Newcomers to Wales record their impressions. Programme arranged by John Griffiths

and his Dance Orchestra
Mantovani. who is English in spite of his Italian name, has been broadcasting for many years now. At eighteen years of age he was leader of the salon orchestra at the Metropole Hotel, London, and broadcast from there for six years. He left the Metropole to form his own band at the Monseigneur Restaurant, Piccadilly, and it was thus that his Tipica Orchestra came into being. He so called that famous combination because whatever the nationality of the music played, it always sounded typical of the country of its origin.
