THERE hag recently been a movement to revive interest in the British School of Painting, and remind ourselves that even if we have never had a Leonardo or a Michaelangelo, a Botticelli or a Rubens, a Rembrandt or a Goya, we yet can boast our Constable, Gainsborough, Reynolds and Turner, and many more painters not to be despised. This talk on English painting is to be given by the Slade Professor of Art in the University of Oxford.

Pidgin English - that strange langue de commerce which flourishes in China - has been responsible for some of the queerest things ever said in what purported to be the English tongue. Dr. Whymant (who, it will be remembered, gave a broadcast talk not long ago on Japan) has lived and worked in China and talked the queer jargon of whoso humorous aspect he will give some idea tonight.
