' Oranges and Lemons from California '
C. D. FORDE , Ph.D., Professor of Geography and Anthropology in the University of Wales
This afternoon Dr. Forde, who has planned this most interesting and popular course of travel talks, is himself to take schools in imagination through South California by trans-Atlantic train.
It will run through the high mountain wall from a barren desert of cactus to the fertile orchards and fields on the Pacific coast-to a climate like that of Southern Spain.
Schools will see in their minds some of the monasteries of the Spanish friars who were the first to introduce orange, lemon, and other fruit trees into California. They will hear about the orchards-oranges ripening under snow-capped mountains, and lemon trees protected by oil heaters against frost. They will hear how other enemies are fought, such as pests and drought, and how water is obtained both for the orchards and for big cities of the desert.
Dr. Forde will describe the packing houses and fruit trains and all about the irtdustry. And the oranges and lemons you see in the shops will be twice as interesting in consequence.

LUTENIST SONGS sung by HERBERT HEYNER (baritone) and played by DIANA POULTON (lute)
JOHN DANYEL (1565-1630) a lutenist and song-writer and contemporary with Dowland, was a member with him of the ' King's Musicians for the Lutes '. His father was a music master at Taunton, and his brother was Samuel Daniel, the poet.
ROBERT JONES, who took his Mus.Bac. in 1597, and flourished at the beginning of the seventeenth century, published several books of Ayres for voice and lute, and was a notable lutenist himself. Among other characteristics, it would appear that he had a fancy for writing madrigals on bird subjects.
THE FERRABOSCO family, originating in Italy with Domenico, born in 1513, was a numerous and distinguished one. His eldest son Alphonso (1543-1588) came to England, took service under the Queen, and was held in high esteem with his English colleagues. Alphonso's son, Alfonso, was born at Greenwich and died there in 1628. He held office as musician to the courts of James I and Charles I. He, too, had a son, Alfonso, whose sons Henry and John appear to have ended the line musically. All were composers of merit, the two earlier Alfonsos of more than ordinary distinction.

Re-appearance of the Famous Concert Party
Old Favourites-New Numbers
1917-1934 Still Growing! Old Soldiers Never Die

CHARLES HARRISON, comedian
FREDERICK PAIN, at the pianoforte
This indomitable little concert party, under the lead of Percy Merriman, still goes strong. It cheered the 60th (London) Division before their advance into the Bulgarian hills seventeen years ago; it followed them into Egypt and toured the desert entertaining the various battalions; it set up as a stock company in Jerusalem; and it made merry laughter echo along the Jordan valley as far as Jericho. It survived the war, but perhaps an even greater feat was to survive the peace.
It seems an astonishing thing that of its six present members Arthur Mackness, Percy Merriman, William Mack, and Charles Harrison all appeared with it in Salonica on that memorable first night. Septimus Hunt has been with it ever since the Armistice. Frederick Pain served in the front line in France with the 15th London (Civil Service) Rifles and took the place of George Western in the Roosters three years ago, when he left to found the famous Western Brothers.
Here they are again on the air - the Roosters, who took their name from the Commandant of Summerhill Camp Captain Roose, who sponsored them while Britain was at war. Old songs and new; the old spirit; burlesque and stunts. Old soldiers never die.
