The Clarilyn Sextet, which consists of two violins, viola, cello, bass, with clarinet added, broadcast for the first time in July last year. It is claimed that such a combination playing light and classical music was the first to be introduced over the radio in this country. The aim of the Sextet is that of sweet, quiet music calculated to soothe the listener.
Frederick Kell , a well-known York musician, founded the combination, and himself finds and arranges all the music.

Recorded impressions of a day in the capital of France
Produced by Laurence Gilliam and Robert Kemp
Many listeners will remember that colourful feature programme, ' The Spirit of Paris ' that was broadcast during the visit of M. and Mme. Lebrun to England in March this year. Producers Laurence Gilliam and Robert Kemp spent some time in Paris with a car, and with the help of Andre Beucler collected a medley of radio pictures, some grave, some gay, taking the listeners through a Parisian day. On that occasion you heard about the Paris of the Parisian, but this evening you will visit the Paris more generally associated with la tourisme.
The car-load of English visitors, whom you may remember following round Paris night life in the last programme, will be on the trail again, this time having a look at the Paris they want to see by day. But the evening will not be forgotten, and once again the voice of the gay city will be broadcast in its many tones and semi-tones to British listeners.

He started studying the violin at the age of five and has played in cinemas, conducted symphony orchestras, broadcast with his Octet for many years, and played his cello for the Diaghilev -Russian Ballet at Covent Garden.

An appeal on behalf of THE MANCHESTER ROYAL INFIRMARY by GRACIE FIELDS
The Manchester Royal Infirmary was founded in 1752 in a small house with only twelve beds. Today, with 885 beds under its direct control, it is the largest teaching hospital in the provinces.
The Infirmary, which serves not only the city of Manchester but the whole of the north-western region of England, is equipped with every modern clinic required in a large general teaching hospital.
The most recent addition is a large orthopaedic and physio-therapeutic block with a daily fracture clinic where injured persons are restored to their normal duties in a fraction of the time hitherto required.
The deficits on the Maintenance
Fund have during the past eight years totalled £128,543 and its free capital reserves have now come to an end.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should he addressed to Miss Gracie Fields, [address removed].
