To-night we shall present a short Radio Fantasy, entitled: "Autumn to Winter"

In addition to members of the Station Staff, the following Artists will participate:
Helen Morris (Contralto)
Nancy Shaw (Reciter)
William Bell (Baritone)
Herbert More's Orchestra

"Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods,
And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt,
And night by night the monitory blast
Wails in the key-hole, telling how it passed
O'er grim wide wave; and now the power is felt
Of melancholy, tenderer in its moods
Than any joy indulgent Summer dwelt."
William Allingham
