Miss Elise Sprott: 'Meat Dishes '
FIRST, how to buy meat.... don't despise cheaper cuts... but they need more care in preparation... a hint about frozen meat...... Roasting... gravy and how to clarify dripping.... Stewing... not necessarily tasteless.... Steaming... very easy and economical... Grilling... easy, but not economical... Frying..... Braising.... combination of frying and stewing. ... A postscript on cooking fish.

Professor J. DOVER WILSON , Litt.D. (Professor of Kduoation in the University of London). 'Learning to Live-II, What was Education like Fifty Years Ago ? '
A song and dance show, written by Holt Marvell and Philip Ridgeway. Musical arrangements by Dorothy Hogben. Devised and produced by Philip Ridgeway. (Fred Curtis, Bertha Wilmott, Irene Vere, Hermione Gingold, Gerald Osborne, Dorothy Dampier, Anna Day, Sinclair Cole, Bert Meredith, Douglas Pemberton, Lola Gordon, CAST: Beatrice Galleway, Jack Hodges, John Charlton, Paddy Prior, Arthur Jay, Wallace Norford, Dorothy Hogben and her Orchestra, and Philip Ridgeway. Singing, dancing, burlesque-and Mr. Ridgeway. The producer is the life and soul of his own shows. It is Philip Ridgeway who designed costumes for his ' Paraders ' to wear in the Studio, who makes his whole company dance furiously for a minute before the red light goes on in order that they should start their broadcast ' warmed up,' who created and impersonated 'Joe Ramsbotham' of Rawthenstall, of the unsteady Lancashire accent. These Parades, of which the present series is the third, are among the most generally popular light entertainments ever broadcast. They may lack the subtlety and satire of the revues of Gordon McConnel, John Watt, Denis Freeman ; their aim is otherwiseâÂÂbroad humour, popular songs, vitality, rather than finesse. Many of the members of former Parade companies are taking part in the present series. Mr. Ridgeway's musical director, Dorothy Hogben, is again in charge of the orchestra. Philip Ridgeway is well qualified to possess an acquaintance with the popular taste in entertainment. Still in his thirties, he has been connected with the theatre since he was a boy, as actor, author, producer and manager in turn. It is typical of his lively versatility that the two most widely acclaimed achievements of his career have been his introduction of Tchehov to London, at the Barnes Theatre, several years ago, and the invention last autumn of the Ridgeway Parades. Tonight he will be beside the microphone as usual, the inevitable flower in his buttonhole, waving his company on, a cross between Sir Henry Wood, Francois Descamps and Grock.Ã
So on with the show. We're a lot of little songs to chase the blues, Dancing shoes-to amuse. We're the lightest and the brightest of revues, We're the Ridge-way Pa-rade.
WEATHER FORECAST, SECOND GENERAL NEWS BULLETIN
Margaret Severn (Contralto), The Wireless Male Chorus (Chorus Master, Stanford Robinson), The B.B.C. Studio Symphony Orchestra, Conducted by Sir George Henschel.
The programme will be devoted to the music of Brahms.
Singer, pianist, accompanist, teacher, concert-giver, composer, and conductor - Sir George Henschel made his first appearance as a singer almost seventy-two years ago. Three years later he made his first public appearance as a pianist. Nevertheless, it was as a singer that we first knew him in this country, and he was among the pioneers of 'Vocal recitals'. In 1881, the year of his marriage to Miss Lillian Bailey, the American singer with whom he had often sung in duets, he was appointed conductor of the newly-formed Boston Symphony Orchestra; but after three years in America, he made his home in England. It was he who established the London Symphony Concerts, and for some years he conducted the Scottish Orchestra in Glasgow and Edinburgh, bringing the orchestra to Windsor in 1895 to give a Command Performance.

Margaret Severn, Chorus and Orchestra:
Rhapsody, for Alto, Male Chorus and Orchestra
"But alone there - Who is't? In the bushes his path now is lost,
After him the branches close together,
The grass rises again, oblivion engulfs him.
Ah, who healeth the sorrows of him whose balsam turned poison,
Who but hate of men out of the fullness of love has drunk?
First despised, then a despiser.
Secretly he now feeds on his own worth
In unsatisfied self-love.
Is upon thy psalter, Father of love divine,
One tone that his ear may distinguish?
Oh, so comfort his heart!
Open thou his clouded sight,
Show him the thousand fountains
Close to the thirsty one in the desert"
(From the English version of Goethe's poem, made by Sir George Henschel)
Orchestra:
Symphony, No. 2, in D: Allegro non troppo; Adagio non troppo; Allegretto grazioso (Quasi andantino); Allegro con spirito
