Sir MALCOLM CAMPBELL , M.B.E. : 'The
Land Speed Record'
THIS EVENING'S BROADCAST is about the modem romance of speed by the most romantic figure in motoring today, and the holder of the world's land speed record.
It seems incredible that in a mere
thirty-six years the racing speed of a car should have increased from under forty miles an hour to over 270. Yet the very first of all speed records, made by the Marquis Chasseloup-Laubat in 1898, in an electric car, was at the then terrific speed of thirty-nine miles an hour. Rivalry between the Marquis and the German driver, Jenatzy, at last set up a final figure for the electric car of nearly sixty-six miles an hour.
The steam car took the record up to over seventy-five miles an hour. Daytona Beach came into the picture in 1903, when the record was raised to over ninety miles an hour. Next year Rigolly, at Ostend, was the first man to touch the 100 miles an hour mark.
How these records were again and again beaten will be heard in this talk.
A vivid description by Sir Malcolm of ' What it Feels Like' to drive at 270 miles per hour, is on page 259.

An Intimate Glimpse of the Making of a Big Motion Picture
In the course of tonight's Visit-by-microphone to the Imperial Studios, Boreham Wood , Elstree, listeners will meet
Mr. DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
Mr. ALEXANDER KORDA
Mr. FREDERICK LONSDALE
Miss MERLE OBERON
Miss BENITA Hume
Miss ELSA LANCHESTER
Miss JOAN GARDNER and many of the technicians connected with the making of the London Film
Production
'The Private Life of Don Juan '
Guide for the evening: Mr. JOHN WATT
Relayed from Elstree
A BROADCAST of the making of a big motion picture would be interesting in itself, but there are circumstances in this visit-by-microphone to the Imperial Studios that make this relay something of an event. In the first place, it is a production by the film company that put a British picture into the very front rank with the best from-Hollywood- and gave Charles Laughton the chance to play the part of Henry VIII.
Listeners are to hear tonight world-famous personalities. Douglas Fairbanks, Senr., is to re-create Spain's most romantic figure in Don Juan. Frederick Lonsdale , who stands alone as a satirist of modern manners, has written the dialogue and the film play. These two alone would make the broadcast an event.
But, under the guidance of John Watt , compere in a new setting, listeners are also to meet Alexander Korda , who directs the film; Merle Oberon , whose comparatively small part in The Private Life of Henry VIII was unanimously praised by the critics; Benita Hume , Elsa Lanchester , Joan Gardner , and others.
