A sports talk by the Wimbledon champion and one of the world's leading lawn tennis players is of interest not only to tennis players, for everyone wants to hear a talk by a man in the news.
No doubt Perry will have something to say of his redoubtable opponent ' Bunny' Austin, for he has been partnering him in the Paris Doubles, where they went under in the semi-final to the British Davis Cup players, Hughes and Tuckey (who lost to the French Davis Cup players, Borotra and Bernard, in the final).
Perry will have something to say on what being a No. I player means in the way of. travelling and playing all the year round. How he manages to keep fit and fresh. And what it feels like to be going to Wimbledon again to defend his title.

One of the main reasons for the production of this play, apart from its fine dramatic value, is to show listeners a specimen of American radio dramatic technique. The subject of the play itself centres around the New York Telephone Time Service.
To explain things briefly, if you are in New York and want to know the time, you dial 'Meridian 7-1212', and will hear a girl not answering you but informing everyone who rings up - for she calls out the time regularly every fifteen seconds.
The play shows in a series of flashes the drama of various people who consult the Time Service, and listeners will find that even in an automatic time service of this kind there is a human factor. This play by Irving Reiss, a member of the Columbia Broadcasting Company, made a big hit with American listeners, and should prove equally absorbing to listeners over here.
