Peter Scott
Small boat sailing is an interesting subject for any knowledgeable person to talk about. With a remarkable personality like Peter Markham Scott at the microphone listeners will be sure of a fascinating fifteen minutes.
Scott is not yet twenty-seven years old. But in his short life he has shown that he has inherited much from his famous parents: his skill as an artist - he is a well-known painter of wild birds - from his mother who is a sculptor; and his love of adventure from his father, the heroic Captain Scott. His home is a lighthouse in Norfolk. With these unusual head-quarters he can lead the life he likes best - painting, wild-fowling, skating, and yachting. At all these he is an expert. Only a week or two ago he represented Great Britain with success in the Olympic Games race for yawls, beating Germany and Chile.
A Series of Concert Party broadcasts, No.6
Jack Rickards and the Ranelagh Revels of 1936 from The Summer Theatre, Felixstowe
Introduced by Harry S. Pepper and Davy Burnaby
This is the first time this concert party has broadcast as a company. The show is presented by Will Hammer, and most of the material is written by the producer, Jack Rickards. The performers include Dorothy Morgan-Davies, who is a soprano-entertainer; Maud Ward-Cowdrey, who is a contralto; Walter Newman, humorist and character artist; Jack Powe, tenor; the Milne Sisters, dancers and light comedy; Peggy Cavell, soubrette; and Cyril Weller, the well-known pianist. With this varied material and two such gifted comperes as Davy Burnaby and Harry Pepper to weld it together, listeners can be certain of a first-class seaside entertainment.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
(90 Players)
Principal violin, MARIE WILSON
Conducted by SIR HENRY J. WOOD
Few comedians on the air are greater favourites, or have enjoyed a more consistent popularity, than Stainless Stephen, who has been broadcasting regularly since 1923. On the halls he wears a shirt front of stainless steel, in order, he says, to link him with Sheffield, his native town. As a signaller during the war he became so accustomed to ' ack, ack, ack ' that it has haunted him ever since. It suggested to him the punctuation style of humour-semi-colon, comma, full-stop-for which he has become famous.

All Elgar's chamber works, the Violin
Sonata, the Quintet, and the Quartet, were written in a Sussex village in the years 1918 and 1919, so it is safe to assume that reaction from the horrors of the preceding years was largely responsible for their quiet autumnal beauty. They were first heard when the War had ceased. Each is constructed on much the same plan. There are j three movements, no scherzo ; and the slow movement is in each work the jewel within the setting, a movement of rare beauty. Thus in the Violin Sonata it is the Romance that lingers longest in the memory. But the whole Sonata is a piece of lovely writing.
Joaquin Turina happens to be known in this country by his less personal works, colourful, thoroughly Spanish pieces such as ' The Procession of the Rocio ' and the three ' Fantastic Dances'. Actually, his chief interest is in chamber music and pure' music in general. By no means the whole of his work is characterised by markedly national colouring. Born in 1882, Turina studied with d'Indy in Paris for eight or nine years, and so acquired the solid classical outlook of the Cesar Franck school.
This Violin Sonata, however, is unmistakably Spanish in colouring and is closer in spirit to Ravel than to Franck. It is a comparatively recent work. dating from 1930.
