In which you will hear the experiences of someone who unexpectedly became' very rich and of someone who, equally unexpectedly, lost great wealth
What would it be like suddenly to have wealth, out of all proportion to anything you had been used to ? Would you go on living in your humble house or flat ? If you moved to a comparably palatial place, could your friends follow you ? Would you want them to ; would you still want to know them ?
It may well be that the acquisition of undreamed-of wealth is a far greater test of character then the losing of it. But imagine everything reversed. The standard gone that you were used to. You must dismiss your servants, sell your cars, move to a comparatively drab neighbourhood. Would your friends follow you ? Would you want them to ? Yet would you not be lonely alone ?
This evening a man who dramatically and unexpectedly acquired a fortune some years ago, and a once-rich woman who lost her money with equal suddenness, are to speak of their reactions to the jerk-round in the wheel of fortune, and the violent changes in their lives.

Davy Burnaby , who has compered so many shows on the air, has been described as the Prince of Comperes. He has been acting since the age of seven and has been the heart and soul of musical comedy and revue in the West End theatre for the last thirty years. He was with the Co-Optimists at the Royalty, Palace, and Prince of Wales's from 1921 to 1927, and appeared with them again at the Palace in May last year. A golfer and cricketer, a popular member of the Green Room Club and a keen participator in its Rags, Burnaby seems to have the gift of keeping perpetually young.
Curtis and Ames, whom listeners will remember in Eight Bells, are light comedy duettists at the piano; the Cole Brothers, both Negroes, are famous for their cross-talk act; Mario Lorenzi is one of the few harp players to specialise in syncopation.
Then Claude Hulbert and Enid Trevor are to produce a new sketch tonight, and the inimitable Mabel Constanduros is to give a new mono logue ... not Mrs. Buggins. It is of interest that a new radio play, Love at Par, written by her and her nephew, Denis Constanduros, is to be produced on September 7, with, it is hoped, Claude Hulbert and Enid Trevor in the cast.
