JACK McLAREN : 'I take to the Wilds '
In this talk of real and really thrilling first-hand adventure, Mr. Jack McLaren will describe how he was once shipwrecked on a Cannibal beach in New Guinea, and how, though he might have been killed the first time, he returned to the same spot to trade copra with the natives.
He will tell of his narrow escape from a blanket fish in Torres Strait; of his experiences as a recruiter of native labourers in the wildest parts of the Solomon Islands ; of an adventure in West Papua ; and finally of the strange way in which he took up writing. Among other exciting books from his pen are ' Blood on the Deck' and ' My Crowded Solitude.'

MARGUERITE NATALIA
(soprano) Othello' is one of three overtures originally intended as movements of a symphony suggesting the ideas of childhood, youth, and manhood. Othello shows us manhood and the working of love in life. We may take it that the composer did not set out to depict Shakespeare's tragedy in symphonic poem fashion, but that he is concerned more generally with its motive of passionate love.
