Conductor,
Desire Emile Inghelbrecht from Paris
D. E. Inghelbrecht was born in Paris in 1880. Debussy was one of his greatest friends, and from the earliest days of his career as a conductor he has supported the master's music, giving many performances of his major works. For a time Inghelbrecht conducted the Swedish
Ballet, both in Paris and in London, and he also composed the music to the ballet El Greco , which was one of the most successful in the Swedish Ballet's repertoire. He now occupies the position of chief conductor of the Orchestre National.

A short story written for broadcasting by R. C. Hutchinson , and read by .the author
There are good sea stories and good uncanny stories, but it is generally, agreed that when the two are combined the result is all that a short story should be. ' A Photograph of Mrs. Austin ' is just such a tale, reeking of wrecks, mysterious mates, and men overboard. Another ingredient is an inquisitive representative of a salvage firm who is the instrument by which the plot is unfolded. R. C. Hutchinson , the author, who will read the story himself, has written a number of notable novels, the best-known of which are ' Shining Scabbard ', ' The Unforgotten Prisoner', and his recently-' published work ' Testament
