Thousands of listeners will remember with pleasure the film of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, which was the big film hit of two continents in 1936. They will find that the radio version follows the story closely, being based on the actual dialogue script of the film, and they will probably be happily reminded of many minor incidents and snatches of pithy and amusing dialogue which they had forgotten, but which helped to establish Mr. Deeds as something fresh, stimulating, and altogether satisfying in the way of film stories.
The adventures of the simple‚ 'Cinderella man' make a wide appeal and an instant claim upon your attention. It is a study of human character in relation to the problems and incidents of the common world of today. Everyone has in his own make-up a responsive particle of the fundamental honesty and clarity of vision of Longfellow Deeds - and possibly, like him, everybody is to some extent 'pixielated'!

Pictures from the film will be found on page 7.

An appeal on behalf of THE PERSONAL SERVICE LEAGUE by the Hon. Mrs. SYDNEY MARSHAM,
O.B.E.
In the seven years of its existence the Personal Service League has distributed over four million garments, boots, blankets, etc., to the unemployed in distressed areas.

Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to The Hon. Mrs. Sydney Marsham , O.B.E., [address removed]

[Starring] Henry Ainley
A melodrama by Patrick Riddell, based on the famous story by Victor Hugo
With music specially composed by Robert Chignell
...in which Henry Ainley plays the part of 'Valjean', Baliol Holloway is 'Javert' and the story-teller is Leo Genn (by permission of Godfrey Tearle)
The play produced by John Cheatle

Jean Valjean, after spending many years in the galleys for a petty theft, is released and after spiritual redemption by the Bishop of Dauphine, changes his name and becomes wealthy and philanthropic.
In previous instalments you have heard how, endlessly persecuted by the brutal Javert, an Inspector of Police who was once a slave-master of the galleys, Valjean is hounded from town to town in France with little Cosette, a child whom he has adopted.
Last week Valjean and Cosette found safety in a convent near Paris where Valjean was appointed assistant gardener, and into which Cosette entered for schooling.
Today's instalment takes place eleven years later in the Paris of 1832, when the Republicans are preparing to man the barricades. Cosette is now fully grown and beautiful - facts which lead to the strange turn the story takes this week.

A discussion on Announcers and Announcing between
A. Lloyd James and T. Thompson
The BBC announcers are inevitably fair game for critics. From time to time they have been accused, among other things, of inflicting southern speech on the whole of Britain, of too little personality, of too much personality, and so on. In tonight's discussion T. Thompson , a Lancashire man, whose name is familiar to Northern listeners and, by reason of several amusing dialect sketches, to readers of the Radio TIMES, and who is also well known as a champion of regional speech and culture, will confront Professor A. Lloyd James, the linguistic adviser to the BBC, with criticisms of his own and some that he knows are made frequently by others.
