Comprising ' visits ' to the White City with HAROLD ABRAHAMS for the A.A.A. Championships, to Hatfield Aerodrome with IVOR MCCLURE for the King's Cup Air Race, and to Lord's Cricket Ground with R. WOODROOFFE for the Eton and Harrow Match
(Copyright. See notice on page 63)
Here is another great sports afternoon, with flashes to three kinds of sport :-
THE WHITE CITY. The commentator here, Harold Abrahams , is one of the greatest athletes of post-war years. In 1922 he was President of the Athletic Club at Cambridge, and at the Olympic Games in Paris in 1924, he put up one of his greatest performances by beating the finest sprinters in the world in the 100 metres Final. He is a well-known broadcaster and gave the running commentary on the Oxford and Cambridge Sports held at the White City in March this year.
HATFIELD AERODROME. It is good news that the commentator here is to be Ivor McClure , who gave a brilliant talk entitled ' Making Flying Safe ' in the recent Conquest of the Air series.
LORD'S. Listeners may hear fullthroated shouts-' E-ton ' ... ' Harrow ', but the commentator will be as unmoved by the show of cornflowers as by the shimmering of pale blue tassels. R. Woodrooffe will be interested first and last in the cricket-three years running he played for the Navy at Lord's. He retired with the rank of Lieut.-Commander, and listeners may remember that two years ago he gave one of the best cricket talks ever heard on the air in ' Cricket in the Seven Seas

Comedian
EDWARD G. ROBINSON ,
The Famous American Screen Star
WILL FYFFE,

This evening listeners are to hear Edward G. Robinson , the American film star, on the air for the first time. He has never worked here before, though he was in this country five years ago. He is to star in Thunder in the City, shooting of which begins at Denham in ten days' time. Robinson's big reputation in America has increased owing to the enormous success of his last picture Bullets and Ballots. He is a man of culture who has read widely and travelled extensively, his hobby collecting Rembrandts and so forth for his Hollywood home.
Kitty Reidy is an Australian who came over here to play the lead in Wildflower nine years ago. She was principal boy in the Lyceum pantomime Forty Thieves and is just back from playing Frances Day's part in a tour of Jill Darling.
Chick Endor and Charlie Farrell come over from America for three months every year. They write their own songs and Charlie plays the piano. One of their big hits was ' I've got her off my hands, but I can't get her off my mind'. They have worked at almost every place of entertainment in London.
With such old friends and fine artists as Sydney Baynes and his Band, the great Scottish character comedian Will Fyffe , and the inimitable Stainless Stephen, listeners should enjoy a grand hour tonight.
