Albert Cazabon , who nine years ago was well known in London as a violinist and theatre conductor, recently returned from Australia, where he conducted the City of Sydney Orchestra, gave violin recitals, and lectured at various important Australian musical centres. In these directions he has also done a great deal of work for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. Since Mr. Cazabon's return, he has formed the Cazabon Trio, which has every promise of being a very popular radio combination. The personnel consists of Albert Cazabon (violin), John Moore (cello), and Bernard Crooke (piano). The two last-mentioned artists are well known to listeners, both in light music and chamber music combinations.

by Arthur Calder-Marshall read by the author
Arthur Calder-Marshall is a young man whose work already has an important place in post-war fiction. Recently a collection of his short stories was published under the title of ' A Date with a Duchess', the successor to well-received books such as ' Two of a Kind ', About Levy ' At Sea ', and ' Dead Centre'. After leaving St. Paul's and Oxford he spent some time as a schoolmaster, but he soon found that writing was his métier.
In 'The Fate Line', which listeners are to hear this afternoon, Calder-Marshall tells what happened to Mrs. Mortimer—' a middle-aged woman, whose 'legs were so short she couldn't sit on a seat and touch the floor with them '-when three gypsies entered her train compartment.

W. A. Osborne , M.D.
In this extraordinarily interesting talk Dr. W. A. Osborne, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Melbourne University, who is over here on holiday, will discuss the effects of disease on mankind, not only the wiping out of tens of thousands by epidemic, but the deteriorating effect by the advance of disease on leaders of men. He points out that, until the twentieth century casualties due to weapons were trifling compared with those arising from disease, especially typhus. Typhoid also decimated armies, and in the South African War took heavy toll. He will speak of malaria, which led to the defeat of a British expedition in Holland in 1809, and of scurvy which was endemic in the Middle Ages, but disappeared with the introduction of the potato. Disease in Napoleon, he says, was partly responsible for Sedan, or had a modern eye-expert attended Samuel Pepys we should have had thirty years more of his delightful diary.

Lauri Kennedy (violoncello)
Dorothy Kennedy (pianoforte)
If the cello has been neglected with regard to concertos, at least it has been rather better served in the way of sonatas, particularly by the nineteenth-century composers. Brahms's Sonata No. 2, in F, composed in 1887, is a magnificent piece of writing, terse and dramatic in expression and concentrated in thought, and the entire range of the cello is exploited with telling effect. The piano part is no less big in design and the music contains a fair number of expression marks that require careful interpretation.

Caroline A. Lejeune
Caroline A. Lejeune , film critic of The Observer, winds up the present series of talks on the cinema, and when the panel of listeners chosen to criticise the speakers have sent in their report, their task will be finished. Miss Lejeune, who has written books on films and has broadcast before, is one of the best-known of discerning film critics, and was one of the first to realise that films deserved intelligent criticism.

A. G. Street
A. G. Street , besides being a farmer, is a popular broadcaster and best-selling author-he has published two books of broadcast talks, ' Hedge Trimmings ' and ' Country Days and has written two well-known novels, 'Farmer's Glory' and 'Strawberry Roan '. About twenty years ago he went to America as a raw lad and worked as a hired man on a farm in Western Canada. This summer he visited Canada again, partly exploring, partly going over old ground. He went back to the farm that he had worked on as a youth, and listeners will be interested to hear about the changes he found -not, alas, for the better.
