' A Holiday on Horseback '
JANE OLIVER and ANN STAFFORD
This evening Jane Oliver and Ann Stafford are to describe a novel holiday they once spent riding ponies round the New Forest. They were two women of average riding experience and hired the ponies on the spot.
If they got wet through, they met with stimulating adventures and had the time of their lives-a break from civilization, good stiff exercise and fresh air from morning to night. They spent a wonderful week, covering twenty to thirty miles a day, and see no reason why it should not make the grandest holiday for any pair of girls who know enough about horses to be trusted alone with them. Its best recommendation is surely that they are determined to do it again.
MAURICE HEALY
Maurice Healy is already known to listeners as a brilliant broadcaster, and it is all the more interesting to know what sort of books he enjoys reading. It is not unnatural that he is going to talk about Irish books and Irish humour, but perhaps it is surprising to find how interested he is in books on the historical background of the New Testament. Indeed, he seems to be fascinated by most vivid reconstructions of the past, though he would rather read history written with all its minute details in the manner of a detective story, than history conceived on a broad and dramatic scale full of sound and fury.

by HENRY HALL with THE BBC DANCE ORCHESTRA
Everyone knows by now that Henry Hall travelled to America as guest conductor on the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary. This evening he is back from his wonderful trip and is to present and compare a programme in which the BBC Dance Orchestra will play American hits of the moment-hits heard by Henry Hall during his four days' stay in New York. He has brought back with him the actual orchestrations used by famous American dance bands and he is to use them tonight.

Saint-Saëns" The Carnival of Animals', consists of fourteen short numbers. The music is full of charm, wit, and fancy. Several numbers are delightfully satirical, such as No. 4, which is based on two themes from Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld (the first from the final ballet and the second from Act I); No. 5, which is a humorous distortion for double-bass and piano of Berlioz's ' Danse des Sylphes ' and Mendelssohn's ' Song of a Summer Night'; No. II, which imitates an awkward beginner playing five-finger exercises and scales in various keys : and No. 12, which ;s a queer mixture of two well-known popular French airs, Saint-Saens' own ' Danse macabre ' and an air from Rossini's Barber of Seville. No. 14 is a very jolly affair in which several of the animals are introduced to each other with harmonious effect.
