The Wireless Chatterers will entertain you
Alec McGill made his radio debut at Savoy Hill in 1924, two years after he had married Gwen Vaughan. At the end of that year they became for professional purposes ' The Wireless Chatterers', and were on the air together for the first time in 1926. He writes all their material and has been responsible for the book and lyrics of several radio shows, notably Cupid-Plus Two, in collaboration with Charles Hayes and George Barker , and The Adventures of Jack and Jill, a series written with music by Jack Clarke. Cupid-Plus Two is scheduled for performance again in August.
Gwen Vaughan met her husband in a concert party, and has appeared with his in most forms of radio entertainment. They appeared for two consecutive years at Radiolympia.

Colonel Holman James
Tonight's broadcaster is one of the most accomplished exponents of the Australian stock-whip in the world. As is the lasso to the American cowboy, the hunting horn to the English foxhunter, and the sjambok to the South African, so is the stock-whip to the Australian rancher. Colonel James has given exhibitions with the stock-whip for many years -indeed, under the name of Fred Lindsay , with a horse, stock-whip, and false beard, he delighted audiences at the London Coliseum before the war.

Production by Gordon McConnel
Our Miss Gibbs was first staged at the Gaiety Theatre in 1909, and was one of the most famous of George Edwardes 's productions. In the original cast were Gertie Millar , Maisie Gay, George Grossmith , Teddy Payne , and, in a very small part, Gladys Cooper.
Five years ago Grossmith played his old part in a radio version of the show, agreeing only on the condition that the original book was rewritten. This was done, the visual gags cut out, and lines more suitable for broadcasting put in their place.

A Discussion between
Lord Bayford
(Chairman, Somerset County Council)
Sir George Etherton
(Clerk of the Peace, Lancashire
County Council) . and F. L. Stevens
The subject of local government is generally regarded as a somewhat dull one, though tonight's broadcast should do a lot to dispel this impression. All three speakers will be on their mettle.
Lord Bayford and Sir George Etherton will defend the very-much-alive functions of the county councils, and F. L. Stevens will ask what Mr. Everyman gets for his money.
The county councils have celebrated their jubilee this year, and the broadcast will give the opportunity of comparing public services of today with those of fifty years ago.
Lord Bayford is President of the County Councils Association. Sir George Etherton was recently appointed one of the governors of Nuffield College, Oxford. F. L. Stevens will come to the microphone as the plain man, in this case the ratepayer with full liberty to question authority. He has broadcast several times previously.
Conducted by the Rev. W. H. Elliott

Conductor, P. S. G. O'Donnell
