Sir Herbert Brewer's work as Conductor, Organist and Composer is already familiar to listeners. Last year we heard a part of the Three Choirs Festival at Gloucester, which, as Organist of the Cathedral there, he conducted. Then he has been giving Organ Recitals for many years, and his three hundredth performance at the Cathedral was broadcast last December.
The three songs we are to hear are treatments of old Irish airs.

A Farce in One Act by Gertrude E. Jennings.
Characters:

The housing shortage has driven Vera, Eric and Christine into the house and power of Mrs. Buckle. Her drawing-room, in which the action of the play takes place, is draughty and uncomfortable, crowded with heavy, tasteless, rather shabby furniture. On the summit of an ugly cabinet a large stuffed fox glares out from a glass case. In one corner of the room then-is an imitation Japanese folding screen. Christine, whose speech is muffled by a severe cold, crouches over a tiny fire struggling for existence in the grate. Vera is holding a somewhat heated telephone conversation with their landlady (Mrs. Buckle) who wishes to turn them out of their temporary home.
