with Tessa Deane
(by permission of James Shirvell)
Tessa Deane, one of the most popular and versatile of broadcasters, had been vocalist with Falkman and his Apache Band for over a year when she left them temporarily before Christmas to go on tour with Balalaika. She is famous for her portrayal of Rose the barmaid, the part which she created in Derby Day at the Lyric, Hammersmith, and which she has played both on the air and in television. Excelling as she does in musical comedy, revue, drama, light singing-anything she touches - she likes serious singing and has broadcast some delightful recitals of Debussy, Ravel, and German lieder.

An appeal on behalf of ST. DAVID'S HOME FOR TOTALLY
DISABLED SOLDIERS, SAILORS, AND
AIRMEN by Admiral MARK KERR , C.B.,
M.V.O.
St. David's was founded in 1917 with the object of providing a permanent home where totally disabled soldiers, sailors, and airmen could find peace and comfort for the remainder of their lives.
Such men are gradually becoming more helpless, requiring more skilled nursing than can be given them in their own homes, until the time comes when, for those of limited means, there is no alternative but the workhouse infirmary. Many such men have already been taken in at the home. Some are unable to pay anything towards their maintenance, and others only able to contribute a small weekly payment.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Admiral Mark Kerr , [address removed]
