at the Organ of the Trocadero Cinema, Elephant and Castle.
Quentin Maclean has earned his living as a theatre organist for over seventeen years, and was actually the first person to broadcast on a theatre organ in this country. This he did from the Shepherd's Bush Pavilion. In 1928 he designed and opened the largest theatre organ in Europe, that at the Regal, Marble Arch.
Maclean has the theatrical tradition thoroughly in his blood. His father,
Alick Maclean, was musical director to Sir Charles Wyndham for fifteen years and was also a composer of operas. Quentin Maclean, however, had a strictly academic musical training at Leipzig under Max Reger and Karl Straube. He has been broadcasting regularly from the giant Trocadero Cinema since March, 1931, and is proud of the fact that his early training is not forgotten - he has played the Hindemith Concerto at a Promenade Concert, and the solo part in his own concerto with the Bournemouth Municipal
Orchestra.

The seventeenth in a series of programmes that are being broadcast weekly to the Empire.

Reginald Arkell
Listeners who remember Reginald Arkell's previous broadcasts in this series will be glad to hear that enter- taining West Countryman once more talking about some of the things that struck him in London last time he was there.
The series ' Up to London' is broadcast from time to time in the West of England programmes, and is shared by a number of prominent West Country people.
Arkell was born in Lechlade,
Gloucestershire, and brought up in the farming tradition. It was soon obvious, however, that he had literary and dramatic talent at his finger tips, and he is well known, not only in the West Country but in London, as an author and play-wright. He has contributed light verse and articles to Punch and many other leading magazines, and has written a number of plays including the stage version of 1066-and All That, which ran for a year at the Strand Theatre. His first play Columbine was produced in Brighton in 1912, and a year later at the Strand Theatre and in New York. Arkell has given a great many broadcast talks, and has appeared frequently in television, talking on gardens, cruising, bridge, and other subjects in characteristically light vein.
1066-and All That was televised on Tuesday afternoon, and will be repeated on Saturday night.
