'Summing-Up'
Andrew Rice and Herbert Hodge
Probably the cinema means more in the lives of the average man and woman than any other form of recreation. It provides a means of escape from the worries and monotony of life. The picture-house itself is comfortable, and its patrons get for a nominal sum two or three hours of first-rate entertainment. Small wonder that this series, which began on January 10 and is to end today, has been such a success, attracting a wide circle of listeners far over and above the Discussion Group listeners for whom it was primarily planned.
Many experts connected with the different sides of the industry have come to the microphone to tell listeners about their particular jobs; and they have been questioned by Herbert Hodge, representing the man in the street. Today's summing-up will take the form of a discussion between Hodge, who has become a microphone personality in little more than a year, and Andrew Rice, the BBC film critic. Rice took over from Alistair Cooke in April, 1937. He gave the fortnightly talks from April to June that year, and from October, 1937, to March, 1938. He is to give the new series from April to June.

Else Rykens (soprano)
The Laurance Turner String Quartet:
Laurance Turner (violin)
Walter Price (violin)
Aubrey Appleton (viola)
Jack Shmeboume (violoncello)
Else Rykens was born in Holland and studied at Amsterdam and in Switzerland. She has devoted herself chiefly to the singing of German Lieder and has won success in her own country, Germany, France, and England. Among her more important engagements she has sung with Mengelberg's Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Paris, and in England she has been heard many times in public recitals and at broadcast concerts. During the fast few months Miss Rykens has appeared at two concerts under Mengelberg, in which she sang modern Dutch songs, and, what is particularly interesting to British listeners, she has given the first performance in Holland and Brussels of a number of William Walton's songs.
