L. Dudley Stamp, DSc
You will remember that a fortnight ago you arrived with Dr Dudley Stamp at Guayaquil, chief port of Ecuador. Today you are to travel south with him on the same steamer as you were on before, and this time you will arrive at the port of Talara, in the extreme north of Peru - notable for the discovery of oil there. Though you will have come only a little way south of the Equator, the whole appearance of the country will have changed. You will see for the first time the great stretch of desert which runs southward along the coast of South America, throughout the country of Peru, and through the northern half of Chile, for something like two thousand miles.

in A Programme of Music, Drama, and Sketches under the direction of Joseph Greenspun
The Orchestra conducted by Harold Lowe
Esta Stein and her Yiddish Chauve-Souris Company, under the direction of Joseph Greenspun , made their radio debut in April, 1932, from Glasgow, and have been on the air from one station or another many times since then. Their programmes are distinctive and original, and their repertoire includes poems and sketches by great Yiddish writers. Although some of the items are given in Yiddish, all essential speech is given in English, so that broadcasts are clear to everyone.
Tonight's programme is to open with two typical Yiddish numbers, then Joseph Greenspun is to give a dramatic episode on his own, ' Seder Night '. Esta Stein will follow with an act introducing several songs, the programme ending with two more numbers in Yiddish. Once again a feature of the broadcast will be the singing of the Jewish Male Choir, conducted by I. R. Berman.
