The BBC Variety Orchestra
Conducted by Charles Shadwell
This show is one of the established favourites, and, as most listeners know, consists mainly of the artists from Clarkson Rose 's famous ‘Twinkle’ Company, which each year goes to Eastbourne for the summer season.
This Company, formed twenty years ago with a small band of five people, has gradually increased, until now its resident personnel at Eastbourne numbers twenty-five.
The broadcast will include
Olive Fox , a comedienne and entertainer well known on the air. She mixes grave and gay songs with equal facility. Her material is mainly written by Clarkson Rose , who,
. indeed, provides the bulk of it for the show. Clarkson Rose himself is also in the Company. He returns to the Lyceum pantomime this Christmas for the third year in succession.
Others in the competent all-round cast include Eddie Henderson , a popular Caledonian comedian ; Anne Leslie , a soubrette vocalist, who also returns to the Lyceum pantomime this year as principal girl ; Rupert Rogers , the inimitable story-teller ; Gordon Holdom , the Guildhall School of Music Gold Medallist baritone ; Philip Becker and Petre Julian in their modern piano entertainment ; Rex Korda , a character actor ; and Conrad Leonard , the musical director.

from V. Sackville-West's poem, ' The
Land ', read by Frank Phillips
Of all her many works upon the countryside there are few that exceed in sensitiveness and beauty V. Sackville-West's long descriptive poem, 'The Land', which deals with almost every aspect of the countryside.
' The country habit has me by the heart', declares the author, and listeners tonight may well convince themselves of it.
