Mary Embrey
Last October Mary Embrey made radio history in this country when she gave the first broadcast in this series of talks to women on making the most of their looks. She studied the subject in New York, and was attracted by its psychological as well as its practical aspect, by the fact that when a woman looks nice she feels on top of the world. Mary Embrey's regular weekly feature in the London Morning Post drew more correspondence than any woman's page feature had ever done before.

She has already broadcast, in this series, talks on the care of the skin and hair. In her next broadcast on February 24, she will discuss 'Overcoming Disadvantages'.

(Played by THE COMPOSER)
Hungary can boast of at least four great composers-Liszt, Dohnanyi, Kodaly, and Bartok. The names of the last two composers are usually linked together, not, however, because their styles necessarily resemble each other-each has a distinctive individuality—but because they are contemporaries and have joined forces in the collection and revival of Hungarian or Magyar folk song. Their achievements in this direction are similar to those of Cecil Sharp and Vaughan Williams with regard to English folk song.
While Bartok's music is all strongly nationalistic in colour and idiom, particularly from a rhythmic point of view, it shows the stamp of a powerful and original musical mind, which, if sometimes challenging in its love of crude rhythms and dissonant harmony, commands respect and arouses intense interest.
