' Pytheas of Massilia ' (300 B.C.)
An Explorer who never returned
' It is Pytheas who states that he travelled over Britain on foot and that the island is about 40,000 stadia in circumference. It is likewise he who describes Thule and other neighbouring places ... How is it possible that a private individual and one, too, in narrow circumstances, could ever have performed such vast expeditions by sea and land? '

Under the direction of Harry Tollfree from the Little Theatre, Saltburn

For the past seven years Harry Tollfree has been directing the Little Theatre Cabaret at Saltburn-by-the Sea, on the Yorkshire coast, on behalf of Mrs. M.O. Osborne, lessee of the Little Theatre there. For the fourth year in succession they are to broadcast. It is of interest to listeners that Mrs. Osborne's cousin, Joan Shadwell, soubrette and dancer, will be heard this afternoon, for Joan is the daughter of Charles Shadwell, conductor of the BBC Variety Orchestra.
Linda Love, comedian and dancer, and Ivy Esta, pianist and entertainer, have been with the company for four consecutive seasons. Cal McCord is a Canadian entertainer who specialises in cowboy acts. Walter Barker is a comedian of considerable repute.
The show is run on intimate personality lines, and the ladies' dresses are a feature. Humour, versatility, good voices all contribute to making the Little Theatre Cabaret a perennial success.

R. Hay
This evening's gardening talk is to be given by the author of an authoritative book entitled 'Annuals'. Mr. Hay, son of the Superintendent of the Central Royal Parks and Gardens in London, has, like his father, given several broadcast talks with C. H. Middleton. Many listeners will remember the two talks he gave on annuals and the one on seeds to sow in the summer. He was for many years with a leading wholesale seed firm and has just left them to join the editorial staff of The Gardener's Chronicle. In his talk this evening he is to speak on annuals as a fait accompli. He will describe some of the effects he has seen this summer while listeners are still able to see for themselves some of the very flowers he is describing. He will give a resume of the gardener's efforts during the current season.
