Conductor, Sir DAN GODFREY
EDA KERSEY (Violin)
Relayed from The Pavilion, Bournemouth There arc snatches of at least three old Irish tunes in this Symphony. In the third movement, a phrase from the old Lament of the Sons of (Usuach is freely used as a figure in the accompaniment, and two of the themes in the last movement are real Irish folk-songs : ' Remember the (Glories of Brian the Brave,' and 'Let Erin remember the days of old.' The attentive listener who keeps those words in mind will have no difficulty in recognising the melodies as they appear. But, beside these, there are many traces of real Irish tradition in the work-hints of the old scales, older than our conventional major and minor, on which many folk-tunes are built, and characteristic rhythms like the jig. There are the traditional four movements. (Continued overleaf.)

Mr. OLIVER BALDWIN
Mr. Oliver Baldwin brings to'the difficult task of radio criticism of the films a varied experience in many parts of the world, supplemented by recent practical experience in the film industry. He has been an officer in two armies, a newspaper correspondent, a Labour Member of Parliament, and a theatrical and broadcasting play-wright. His discussion of the merits and faults of current films should make lively broadcasting. As he is talking once a fortnight and to a national audience, he will discuss general releases as well as the films that are given a London pre-releaso showing. He welcomes letters of appreciation or abuse from listeners.
