Talk by Sir Harold Spencer Jones , F.R.S.
Astronomer Royal
At present cosmologists are discussing two alternative hypotheses as to the origin of the universe. One is that the universe was created at a finite time in the past; the other, that it has existed for an infinite time with creation going on throughout as a continuous process. The Astronomer Royal discusses these alternative views.

Sonata in E, Op. 11 for violin and piano played by Frederick Grinke (violin)
York Bowen (piano)
Benjamin Dale 's Violin Sonata, written in 1921-22, is designed on the lines of his youthful and very remarkable Piano Sonata, which York Bowen was the first to play (in 1905) and which he broadcast last year. The opening movement, Lento espressito, is followed by a Theme and Variations (with the titles Pastorale, Reverie, Intermezzo, Dance, and Caprice). The last variation leads without a break into the Introduction and Finale, and at the end the main theme of the first movement is ' recollected in tranquillity.'
