'Bowmen of Today' Captain M. J. HOGG
The first use of the bow and arrow has probably never been recorded, but we know that it was the principal weapon of the ancient Egyptians. The Israelites hunted with it as well as using it for war. Cretan archers were drafted into both the Greek and the Roman armies ; Asiatics made up the ranks of the Sagittarii, and after A.D. 378 horse-archers became the vogue in the Roman armies.
Norman archers led William's line at Hastings ; the bow and arrow won renown in the Crusades, and at Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt made the English archers the most celebrated infantry in Europe.
This evening Captain M. J. Hogg , a schoolmaster in Buckinghamshire who has inculcated the tradition of archery among some of his pupils, is to tell listeners about his young ' Company of. Archers '. He will talk of the bow as a modern hunting weapon, about archery meetings-especially the contest for the silver arrow which has been shot for practically every year since the reign of Elizabeth. They have some quaint rules. One of them is that any competitor is fined who swears.

ANTHONY PINI (violoncello)
Nicolai's opera, based on Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, has long been one of the most popular, both here and on the Continent.
This overture is made up of tunes from the last act of the opera, in which Falstaff and the others join in a fancy-dress frolic, designed by the two ' Merry Wives ' and their friends for the fat Knight's discomfiture. A flowing tune on the violoncellos begins the Overture ; in the opera this is the moon rising over the Forest of Windsor, and the bustling merriment of the other tunes tells of the revels held there at night.

Six years ago Stuart Ross and Joe Sargent came over from America for four weeks and stayed here for five years. They came back to England a few weeks ago for another short holiday. They gave a broadcast on November 19. Both like the new building in Portland Place, but say that they have never been able to get inside it. They used to broadcast at Savoy Hill, and now they have to do it in St. George's Hall. Joe Sargent is
Greta Keller 's husband, and he flew from Hollywood to New York recently to see her. Between three o'clock one afternoon and noon next day he covered the 3,000 miles.
Jenny Howard is known as the girl with the chameleon voice because wherever she is working she uses the local accent. Tonight she is to give an entirely new act, ' The Screen Test'.
Tommy Handley has been touring with the Radio Parade. He has not broadcast from the studio since June, when he was in ' Out of Town Tonight', but he was in Radiolympia. Six of Charlie Chaplin 's old films have recently been revived, and Tommy is doing the running commentaries.
Layton and Johnstone are known to us all. They appear from time to time in Music-hall bills and each time get a bigger ovation.
Lupino Lane and Lauri. Or
Lauri Lane and Lupino. Tonight is the first time that father and son have done an act together. Lauri is one of the Hughie Green gang, and was a sleuth in Emit and the Detectives. As for Lupino, he was in Radiolympia 1933, and last seen on the stage in Golden Toy at the Coliseum.
