VARIETY ORCHESTRA conducted by CHARLES SHADWELL
A feature of tonight's Music-Hall is the appearance of a Royal Command Performance celebrity in Harry Claff of 'White Knight' fame, who will present his greatest character study, 'Bluff King Hal', an episode of Henry VIII. Before going into vaudeville, this fine artist appeared at the Savoy Theatre in Gilbert-and-Sullivan opera, and did five seasons at Drury Lane and a season at Covent Garden, besides fulfilling engagements at a number of other West End theatres.
He played two world tours with his various scenas. His costume for Henry VIII is a replica of the Holbein picture and, as the material is hand-woven brocade, it is uncomfortably heavy. While he was appearing in New York during a heat wave, the manager of the theatre was astonished to feel the weight of the costume. ' Say, Mr. Claff, you can't wear this. Why don't you play the act in a tuxedo ? ' Harry pointed out that he could not possibly play Henry VIII in evening dress. ' Why not ? ' replied the manager. ' And who is the guy anyway ? '

William Blake
Selected by Cloudesley Brereton and read by Anne Brooks
Dr. Cloudesley Brereton , who is directing the readings from Blake, has had a good deal of experience in the recitation of poetry, for he has been for many years one of the judges of diction at the Central School of Speech Training and Dramatic Art. He has also made a study of the prosody of French and English verse and the problems of rhythm in the two languages. He is one of the recognised authorities on the teaching of the French language in England, and many listeners may remember his notable broadcast talk on ' The Genius of France', when he made his radio debut in September, 1935.
