A short story by J. Jefferson Farjeon read by Philip Cunningham
(First broadcast in the National programme on July 4)
'The voice of your telephone bell at 2 a.m. is entirely different from its voice at 2 p.m. It lacks the familiar note of security. It intrudes on comfort, introducing a disturbing sense of the unknown--of illness, accident, or worse ....
' I jumped out of bed..... I was alone in the house..... The telephone was in the passage. I seized the receiver .... In a hoarse whisper came the words : " Quick! For God's sake! Five, Endale Crescent ".'

AUBREY BRAIN
Richard Strauss 's father, Franz Strauss , was the first horn player in the Munich Opera Orchestra, so that it was natural the son should know a good deal about the instrument. The Horn Concerto is an early work written in his student days, when he was about seventeen. He composed a symphony at about the same time, which, though it was never published, has been several times performed, notably in England in 1896. Neither work quite reveals or quite conceals the later Strauss of ' Till Eulenspiegel' and ' Ein Helden leben'.

by Helen Perkin
At the age of three Helen Perkin began to pick out tunes on the piano.
She studied with her mother until the age of eleven, when she had lessons with Arthur Alexander. When she was sixteen, she gained scholarships in both piano and composition to the Royal College of Music, where she studied until she was twenty-two after which she went to Vienna with the Octavia Travelling Scholarship. There she studied composition w th
Anton Webern and piano witn Eduard Steuermann.
Her first broadcast was at Savoy
Hill at the age of nineteen, when she played her own composition, a theme and variations for piano. Since then she has been heard frequently as a pianist and composer from the studios and at Promenade Concerts.
Brahms as a Miniaturist
Even those people who deny that
Brahms deserves to be placed alongside Beethoven as a symphonist all agree that he was unsurpassed as a miniaturist ; as a composer of songs and short piano pieces. The group of pieces, Opus 118, to be heard this evening will give listeners a good idea of Brahms's great genius in this direction.

A Portrait of Samuel Butler , author of ' Erewhon ', by Stephen Potter
Production by M. H. Allen
Sheep-breeder, pamphleteer, painter, composer, novelist, philosopher, composer,half-a-dozen other things,
Samuel Butler was one of the most remarkable men of that most remarkable age, the Victorian. He was, in fact, the Complete Victorian-in fact the took all that his femllow-
Victorians cherished most, alike in religion and in science, and turned it inside out. But that profound antipathy concealed a still more profound affinity: Butler was himself essentially Victorian.
