Tonight's ' From the London Theatre ' will introduce a famous Jewish actor in some of his most memorable parts. Maurice Schwartz made his name in New York, where there is a nourishing Jewish Theatre, by the fire and intensity of his acting in the traditional Jewish style, which carries such conviction that it is possible for audiences to follow a play without knowing a word of the Yiddish that the actors speak. In his broadcast Maurice Schwartz will include passages from plays in which he is acting in the Yiddish Art Theatre's season at His Majesty's, notably their great success Yoshe Kalb.
Since this popular concert party that so successfully puts over a holiday atmosphere on the air last broadcast a month ago, practically all the members have themselves been on holiday. Effie Atherton has been sun-bathing in the South of France, Ronald Hill sun-bathing in Yorkshire. He has, been tramping on Ilkley Moor 'baht 'hat, ' baht 'coat, ' baht' everything. He found to his delight that he could wade up the watercourse at Wharfedale, and slept at the Angel, Wetherby, in Dick Turpin 's bedroom.
Nobody knows where Claude Gardner has been. All that is known is that he has come back with a monkey. It is a perfect nuisance at St. George's Hall, where it climbs round the balcony and distracts everyone at rehearsals.
Marjorie Stedeford, being an Australian girl, spent her holiday in London; Marjery Wyn went in her car to Cornwall. The latter Marjery - differently spelt - broadcast with the Air-do-Wells for the first time in August. She had never met Max Kester before, but found to her surprise that she had been to school with his sister in Leeds. And as for Kester, he has been at Felpham, modelling on the sands.
Brian Lawrence gets few opportunities for holidays, but he has snatched a day or two at Thorpe Bay, passing the time in bathing and supervising the extensions to his garage. Read all about him in 'People you Hear' on page 6.

Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari was born in Venice in 1876, and studied in Germany under Rheinberger. From 1902 to 1912 he was Director of the School of Benedetto Marcello in Venice, and produced many eighteenth-century operas there. The influence of the style of that period is evident in several of his own works.
