The musical career of the famous American band-leader Benny Goodman, told with gramophone records, by Geoffrey D. Hood
Born in Chicago in 1909, Benny Goodman is considered by all authorities on ' Swing ' to be the best clarinetist in North America. His first big job was in Ben Pollack 's Band at the Black Hawk in Chicago. It was at the Palomat in Los Angeles that he began to broadcast and was hailed as an overnight sensation '.

Play by J. S. N. Sewell and James Mageean , produced by James Mageean
. Many opponents of capital punishment base their opposition not so much on the grounds that it is wrong to take the life of a murderer, but on the grounds that sometimes they cannot feel fully certain that the condemned man is guilty. In tonight's play that doubt flashes into a girl's mind as her mother reads the report of a murder trial, and you hear how that doubt was justified.
