Philip Martell became a fully-fledged orchestral player at the age of fourteen, when he played the violin in the Hackney Pavilion orchestra. Two years later he got his first job as a band leader. During this time he was studying at the Guildhall School of Music, to which he won a scholarship at the age of eleven. Martell played for the Gaumont-British circuit for some three years, and in 1936 formed the Forum
Orchestra.
He started broadcasting with the Forum Band in April, 1937. After touring the provincial theatres of Associated British Cinemas, he spent three months with Gaumont-British in London, subsequently joining the London Hippodrome as conductor of its orchestra. He is at present conducting for Black and Blue.

It is at the present time of year that the gardener must be at his most wary if he is to obtain later in the summer the results that he has planned. It is now that insect pests of every kind, fungi, mildew, and other plant diseases, strike at and seek to establish themselves on the new growth.
This afternoon, C. H. Middleton will tell you what steps to take in order to ensure midsummer glory in your garden.

Rudolf Rassendyll, a young Englishman visiting Ruritania for the Coronation of King Rudolf V, finds himself, owing to his extraordinary resemblance to the King, mixed up in an extravagant intrigue. Rassendyll impersonates King Rudolf at the Coronation, and afterwards the King is abducted by his half-brother, Duke Michael. There were then two 'kings' in Ruritania, and in last week's instalment you heard how Rassendyll met Antoinette de Mauban at the summer house, and how he was surrounded there by Rupert Hentzau and others of Black Michael's confederates who sought to come to terms with him.
Rassendyll learns that the King is a prisoner at Zenda and succeeds in battering his way from the summer house to safety. At a State ball he publicly indicates his love for the Princess Flavia.
Today's instalment carries Rudolf's extraordinary adventures one step farther.

An appeal on behalf of THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR
MENTAL HYGIENE by John HILTON
The National Council for Mental Hygiene was founded in 1922 with the object of improving the mental health and welfare of the community. Much domestic unhappiness and social inefficiency, often referred to as ' just nerves', is caused by mental ill-health, and could be prevented.
The National Council for Mental Hygiene is out to help. the many men, women, and children who are living unhappy and unsatisfactory lives, by making a drive for early preventive treatment for mental and nervous disorders of every kind. It continually stresses the vital importance of mental health by means of conferences, lectures, and literature. In responding to this appeal listeners can feel that they are helping to build up something which is more enduring than armaments-a nation of well-balanced minds.

Conductor, Erno Dohnanyi
Bela Bartok (pianoforte) from Budapest
Hungary can boast of at least four great composers-Liszt, Dohnanyi, Kodaly, and Bartok. The names of the last two composers are usually linked together, not, however, because their styles necessarily resemble each other-each has a distinctive individuality-but because they are contemporaries and have joined forces in the collection and revival of Hungarian or Magyar folk song.
While Bartok's music is all strongly nationalistic in colour and idiom, particularly from a rhythmic point of view, it shows the stamp of a powerful and original musical mind, which, if sometimes challenging in its love of crude rhythms and dissonant harmony, commands respect and arouses intense interest.
On this occasion listeners will hear
Bartok himself as soloist in one of his earlier major compositions, the Rhapsody for piano and orchestra. The programme begins with the brilliant and gay suite in F sharp minor of Dohnanyi, who represents the romantic school of Hungarian music. Kodály's ' Dances of Galanta ', the final item, are drawn from his native folk-tunes.
