First-hand accounts of life and work in Canada-1
By a fisherman from Whitehead,
Nova Scotia
(The series arranged in collaboration with the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation)
This is the first of six talks in which holders of key occupations in the Canadian system will come to the microphone to tell listeners in the Mother Country about their jobs. The speakers will all be anonymous. This is the first time that a series of talks has been broadcast to this country from Canada, and it is hoped that the experiment may be repeated for other parts of the Empire.
The first programme by The New BBC Theatre Organist
with Peggy Dell, Norbert Wethmar and Ivor Dennis
Introduced by John Watt
Reginald Foort and Sandy Macpherson were both at the Empire Cinema, London, at its opening in November, 1928, and for about six months worked there together. And so they teamed together until Foort left the Empire early in the following year.
Sandy Macpherson has been at the Empire ever since, and thousands must know his signature tune, 'Happy days are here again'. He may choose a new one now, and if he decides to, listeners will hear it tonight. He made his name as an organist with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer theatres in Canada. The company sent him over here for six months - he never returned. He is tall, and not as 'sandy' as his name.
The Story of the Press in England by Hugh Massingham
' Burke ', declared Carlyle, ' said there were three estates in Parliament. But in the Reporters' Gallery yonder there sits a Fourth Estate, more important far than they all.' Tonight's feature programme will tell the story of the rise of this great ' Fourth Estate ' of the Press and its fight for freedom.
It is a long and thrilling history, from the days when Greek couriers ran with bleeding feet from town to town, to today when the News Editor of a modern newspaper sits at his desk linked by telephone to his correspondents in every quarter of the globe. Rome made reporters of her generals, the great merchants of the Middle Ages established their news agents in every big city. Later, opportunists hawked newsy ballads about the London streets, and weekly ' Relations ', told of exciting events about the country.
So soon as the English newspaper proper-the first of which was founded in 1702-began to be a part of the national life, the long battle for the freedom of the Press was launched.
