Regional Geography
' Coast and Highland in Brazil'
L. DUDLEY STAMP , D.Sc.
In this the last talk of the term Dr. Dudley Stamp is to speak of Rio de Janeiro-usually called Rio-the capital of Brazil, with its wonderful harbour surrounded by mountains. He will describe an ascent of one of them, the famous Sugar Loaf, from the top of which at midnight he looked down and saw the whole of Rio in a blaze of lights.
Next he will describe the day's journey by rail to Sao Paulo, the city of Skyscrapers that was created by coffee. He will tell you about the coffee industry of Brazil-and the orange industry too-and give you glimpses of a Brazilian peasant's home and of a coffee estate. And so to Santos, the coffee port, some little distance from the sea, and then back to the coast again.

Fourth Edition
Written and devised by Lauri Wylie
Produced by Max Kester with Clarence Wright
Dick Francis
Marjorie Sandford
Fred Yule
Phyllis Harding
Marie Dayne and Leonard Henry
The BBC Variety Orchestra
Conducted by John Weaver
Marjorie Sandford makes her appearance for the first time this year in Max Kester 's popular series of programmes, her engagement as principal boy in the Lyceum pantomime preventing her from being in the last ' Wireless Puppets ', broadcast in January.
Listeners know her better as Marjorie Lotinga - she is Ernie's niece-but she is now calling herself Marjorie Sandford to avoid shining in reflected family glory. Working in revue, musical comedy, and vaudeville, she has also appeared in double acts with various well-known artists, including Walter Williams and Billy Mayerl (with whom she has studied the piano). Her career began during her schooldays when she played in her father's shows at holiday time. At sixteen she ran away from her father's company in which she was touring and came back with a contract for a London revue.
'The Wireless Puppets' will broadcast again on Saturday at 4.0 in the Regional programme
