' A Caddie Reflects'
F. CLARKE
A talk on golf by F. Clarke , the travelling caddie, is always a good one. He criticises caddies as much as golfers, and always fairly. If he is never tired of telling the golfer he should employ a caddie and take his advice, it is in the golfer's interest; and if he is hot nuts on the caddie who rings the changes on golf balls, it is for the good of the profession of caddying, for those are the kind that are killing the game.
In his talk this evening listeners will hear some instances of first-class golfers who have not disdained to consult Clarke. And they will learn some interesting caddie lingo. For instance, what a caddie means by ' clubbing ' a golfer ; what he means by giving a golfer ' a bit of madam ' ; and what he means by ' a lark'. '. Listeners will learn too about golfers' superstitions, and when billiard chalk is used for golf, and how, and why. And they will hear a killingly funny story about a golfer and a rat.

Overture to a Comedy by Gozzi Joachim
The reputation of Joachim the composer is eclipsed by the fame of Joachim the violinist. And rightly, for the executant was a great master while the composer was only a sincere and talented disciple of Schumann and Brahms. This Overture is a pleasant example of his work ; its full title is ' Overture suggested by two comedies of Gozzi.'
Gozzi was a celebrated Venetian dramatist of the mid-seventeenth century, and a contemporary of Goldoni. He was the author of the famous dramatic fables of Turandot, a story which inspired operas by Weber, Puccini, and Busoni, and of The Love for the Three Oranges, upon which Prokofiev's well-known opera is based.

It is in human nature that the less you have of a thing, the more you want of it; and it may well be that the less frequent broadcasting of Music-Hail will make it more popular than ever. Once again this is a bumper Saturday night.
The man who doesn't laugh at Will
Hay will never laugh at anything; hut does such a man exist ? Norman Long , too, has a name to conjure with. This earliest of broadcasters showed at Radiolympia that he was as good as ever, and has been making a hit of late as one of Stanelli's stags.
Florence Oldham migrated south from concert-party work at Blackpool a fortnight ago to broadcast in Floor Show—her pretty voice comes over the air like a bird's. John Garrick and Harriet Bennett were teamed up in Australia and they appeared in Rose Marie. English John and American Harriet have appeared together in New York. Last, but not least, is a new find in Issy Bonn whom John Sharman discovered one night at an East End music-hall. Feeling he had found a successor to the late Julian Rose , he engaged him on the spot.
