Mr. S. P. B. Mais, relayed from America
(In co-operation with the National Broadcasting Company of America)

After his first transatlantic relay from Virginia, Mr. Mais follows the coast-line to the most southerly of the Eastern sea-board States. Florida exists for most listeners as the paradise of orange groves and bathing beaches (marred only by an occasional hurricane), that the cinema has created for them. It should be entertaining to find out whether the picture persists after hearing what Mr. Mais, familiar guide to unfamiliar scenes, has heard and seen of life in the State during his lightning tour of its principal places.
