In the next box is Ellen, Pierre's wife, Ellen's brother, Anatole, and the dashing Dolohov, who fought a duel with Pierre, have caught Natasha's eye.

from the Savoy Hotel, London
When Arthur Salisbury and his
Orchestra come on the air this afternoon they will be maintaining a Monday tradition which has been practically unbroken for six years. Every week during this period, except for an annual holiday, he has broadcast from the Savoy Hotel. For six years before launching out with an orchestra of his own he was de Groot's leader. His six-piece light orchestra first opened at Verrey's Restaurant in Regent Street, from where he gave almost weekly broadcasts for three years; thereafter he came to the Savoy Hotel and has been there ever since.

A programme telKng the story of work in a modern film studio by Stephen Potter (in collaboration with Ralph Keene ) with especial acknowledgment to Michael Balcon and the staff of the Ealing Studios
Production by Stephen Potter
Fifty feet of film takes little more than half a minute to show. In this programme listeners will hear something of the days of work, spread out perhaps over a period of months, which can go to the making of that half minute-the birth of the idea in the producer's mind, the ' story conference the byplay of casting, the difficulties for the set-designer, the private opinions of the plasterers who make the sets, the first consolidation under the hand of the director, the make-up, the dressing, the rehearsing, the actress who persists in a wrong intonation, the lighting, the acrobatics of the cameraman searching for 'angles' the sound-men watching their dials-until the silence for take'.
The material for this broadcast has been based on the production now in progress of The Four Just Men, adapted from Edgar Wallace 's famous thriller.
