Nature Study
Nature's Story-book : How to read this Book
WATKIN W. WILLIAMS
If you go for a walk in the country, you can see what is happening all round you -the leaves changing colour and falling, the trees growing bare. But you have only to look a little closer to become a Sherlock Holmes of the countryside. Tracks in the mud will tell you what has happened-a rabbit or a bird has passed this way ; and presently you may come on scattered fur or feather, and feel a little sad at what it suggests. Or you can look in the hedgerow-clusters of roots, showing nothing but leaves, will tell you where to go primrosing next spring.
This afternoon Watkin W. Williams , who broadcast for the first time in the Children's Hour recently, is going to introduce listeners to the first chapter of what he calls Nature's Story-book. For he sees Nature as a book which all of us may open. The country meadow, the town park, the window box in a tenement, the cat with her kittens in the cellar-each has its own story to tell.

This is the first appearance of the Orpheus Trio. Shortly after being demobilised in 1919 three young musicians, Sverdloff (violinist), John Moore ('cellist), and Louis Revel (pianist), earned their living by playing in a suburban cinema. Since then Sverdloff has become an eminent hotel orchestral leader; John Moore went from the cinema to Blackpool, where he appeared three times daily as a Rumanian musician. From Blackpool he came to London and joined the old Queen's Hall Orchestra, and when Sir Thomas Beecham formed the London Philharmonic Orchestra a few years ago he shared first the desk of the 'cellos with Anthony Pini. In addition to these activities, he has been 'cellist of the Stratton String Quartet since its formation. The third member of the Trio, Louis Revel, is well known to listeners as a pianist and composer.
