VERA SIDDONS (soprano)
in memory of William Barnes , poet, who died October 7, 1886
We Dorset, though we mid be hwomely, Be'nt asheam'd to own our pleace ;
An' we've zome women not uncomely, Nor asheam'd to show their feace ; We've a mead or two wo'th mow'en We've an ox or two wo'th showen,
In the village At the tillage,
Come along an' you shall vind
That Dorset men don't sheame their kind
(From Bristol)
Today's broadcast from the West is in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of William Barnes , the poet of Dorset. He lived from 1801 to 1886 and proved to the satisfaction of his friends, Thomas Hardy , Coventry Pat-more, and Tennyson, that the Dorset dialect is an admirable poetic medium for depicting rural life. He was an ardent philologist and also an enthusiast for pure English (he loved to call an omnibus a ' folkwain '). In the programme listeners will hear H. S. Carter , formerly Mayor of Poole, reading some of his poems, and also some extracts from letters and incidents of his life.
A short article on William Barnes will be found on page 10.

With this programme, the first since his return from the United States, and his first broadcast in this country since September, 1935, Jack Hylton promises to give listeners something original in musical entertainment. In addition to the various popular dance numbers and novelties for which he has long been famous, he is to ' dress up ' tunes we know and love, blending the spectacular, the sentimental, the wistful, the inspiring, and the witty in elaborate orchestral setting
' If a goodly part of this programme swings', he says, ' that is beside the point. I am not deliberately setting out to play swing music. Rather, I am endeavouring to illustrate a further advance in the progress of that which we once knew as Jazz '
