' The Royal Show '
Anthony Hurd introduces personalities in the show yard from Windsor Great Park
This evening, as a change from his ordinary talk, Anthony Hurd has gone down to the Royal Show at Windsor, and here-where the farming elite from all over the country are gathered-he will bring to the microphone some of the more outstanding personalities of the agricultural world. It is also his intention to look out for distinguished foreign visitors who may have some interesting things to .say about this great Centenary Royal Show and about Britain's livestock in general.
The Show contains a number of outstanding displays, notably the old English farm, the modern electric farm, and the magnificent dairy exhibit. It is hoped that the people in charge of some of such exhibits will come to the microphone, as well as experts on up-to-date farm implements and agricultural machinery.

Sonata in A for violin and pianoforte
1 Allegretto ben moderato. 2 Allegro. 3 Recitativo-Fantasia. 4 Allegro poco mosso played by Henry Hoist (violin) and Frank Merrick (pianoforte)
Cesar Franck 's Violin Sonata in A was written specially for that great violinist Ysaye and the hardly less distinguished pianist, Mme. Bordes-Pene. It is one of Franck's most perfect works, particularly with regard to construction and purity of style. Melodically the whole work grows out of the little figure (D-F sharp-D), which is heard at the beginning of the work.
The first movement is full of poetry, the second is an impassioned allegro, and the third an exquisite soliloquy. The fourth consists of a clever and effective piece of writing in canon based on themes from previous movements, after which comes a development section based on all the principal themes of the work, and finally a brilliant conclusion.
