Frank Shaw
F. Buckley Hargreaves has now concluded his series on the Fortnight's Films, and, as in former years, broadcasts in this series during the summer months will be given by various guest critics. Each of these will review in his own way the new films of the fortnight in question. There will be seven speakers in all. These are Frank Shaw (this evening), Campbell Dixon, A. T. Borthwick, Herbert Hodge, Caroline Lejeune, Matthew Norgate, and Robert Herring.
Frank Shaw is a free-lance journalist, who was at one time in the film business, and this has given him a keen critical interest in the screen.
Listeners may remember the talk he gave in the Fortnight's Films series last year.

It has always been Willie Walker 's ambition to form a combination consisting entirely of virtuosos, and this has been amply realised in the case of his Octet. This light orchestra includes such famous names as Alfredo Campoli , Sydney Bright-brother of Geraldo-and Bill Shakespeare. All the arrangements for the Octet are by Michael Krein , ' the father of the Gypsy band '.
Walker himself started to learn the clarinet when a child of seven in Newcastle, and later studied under Robert Smith , then the most famous clarinet teacher on Tyneside. After holding a position as musical director in a Newcastle cinema, he took over a similar post at a famous Newcastle restaurant. Here the seeds of his versatility were sown, a versatility which was recognised when Debroy Somers , who was appearing at the Newcastle Palladium, heard Walker play and offered him a job with his combination. He spent four years with Somers and later joined Geraldo. He formed his own combination in 1936, since when it has been heard regularly on the air.

by Pouishnoff
A Russian by birth, and a brilliant student of Petrograd Conservatoire, where he won all the chief prizes, including a concert grand pianoforte, Leff Pouishnoff is one of the great artists of international renown who since the war has frequently visited England. He played first in this country at the Wigmore Hall in London at the beginning of 1921, and since then has been heard in every city and town of note.
As an interpretative artist he excels in the music of Chopin and Tchaikovsky. Nevertheless, he is at the same time a fine all-round player of classical and modern music.
