Presented by Neil Munro 
Here is a new kind of parlour game, and one in which the wit and wisdom of the players will be strained to the utmost. ' Reactions ' is somewhat similar in character to ' Clumps '. Each player in turn will be required to guess, by means of clues given him by the other side, the famous person he is representing. 
He will be given a maximum of eight clues, these in some cases being literary or poetic quotations, in others short snatches of song. Scoring will be on the principle of points lost, that is to say the team with the lower score will be the winners. The player loses no points should he guess his identity in four clues or under, one point if it takes him six clues, two points if he only gets it in eight, and three points if he fails altogether.

A Flute Recital

by Robert Murchie
Robert Murchie, who left the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the end of last July after being principal flautist for nearly six years, has the singular record of having been principal flautist with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Queen's Hall Orchestra, The New Queen's Hall Orchestra, Sir Thomas Beecham's Orchestra at Covent Garden, both for Russian ballet and Royal Italian opera, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the BBC Military Band.
Listeners will be pleased to hear Murchie back at the microphone in his first solo broadcast since leaving the BBC. He will play a few light pieces of flute music.

RAVEL

Sonata for violin and pianoforte 
1 Allegretto. 2 Moderato (Blues). 3 Perpetuum mobile played by Winifred Small  (violin) 
Maurice Cole (pianoforte) 
Ravel's Violin Sonata was composed between 1923 and 1927, and during those years he was at work also on his lyric play L'Enfant et les sortilèges (The' Child and the Sorceries), the French word meaning malevolent sorceries. The thematic material of the sonata reminds one at several places of the themes used in the play, particularly in the slow movement which Ravel calls ' Blues '. It is a development of the rag-time dan e music which came to Europe with that name.

THE WEEK'S GOOD CAUSE

An appeal on behalf of THE ROYAL NATIONAL HOSPITAL 
FOR RHEUMATIC DISEASES, BATH by Lady SIMON, D.B.E. 
Near the famous hot springs of Bath the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases was built two hundred years ago. 
The hospital with its 156 beds is always full, with about two hundred waiting for admission. It lacks sunshme and space, and is ill-planned, and for its necessary rebuilding a new site has been secured, three acres in extent and actually adjoining the hot springs. 
Less than three per cent. of the patients come from Bath ; the remainder from every county in England and Wales, and from Scotland and Ireland. The new hospital will continue its great work on a much larger scale and in altogether better conditions. £126,000 is still required to make the new hospital possible. 
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Lady Simon, D.B.E., [address removed]
