A commentary from Hatfiek aerodrome on the race for the King's Cup, will be broadcast from Daventry to- night.

The trophy was presented by King George V in 1922, and King Edward VIII has signified his willingness to con- tinue the donation. Incidentally, the cup is won outright each year. The race, which is necessarily on a handicap basis, is flown under the sponsorship of the Royal Acro- Chib.

THE UNGUARDED HOUR

Franchot Tonc, Loretta Young

KING'S, COMING -THE-- Unguarded» - Hour," ", is-

Based on the successful play

by Ladislaus Fodor. This is a murder mystery, not so flippant- Jy woven as is the present vegue, but made amusing by the cheer- ful buffoonery and quips of Roland Young,

The plot would be blown to bits if the husband,, Franchot Tone, and the wife, Loretta Young, were half as candid with each other as most de vated and happy couples are. Miss Young, returned to the screen as ele gant as Dietrich, plays the wife of a K.C., marked down for the "Attorney- generalship.

A perfect swine of a hackminster turns up to demand £2,000 from the wife, in return for love-letters in-. judiciously written by the young K.C. to a young lady when he was at Cum brilge. The blackmailer suggests tit should he sue for divorco at the moment the Attorney-generalship, the life-long goal of the K.C., would vanish in the scandal.

The wife, so foolishly in love, ogrees to meet the blacknnifer on the cliffs. at Dover, pay over the money, and get the letters. By an unfortunate coincidence another wife full off the cliff while she is there and the hus- band is, tried for murder. And the young K.Cs job is to prove him guilty.

What should a wife do, come for. ward and admit that she was on the cliff and that the fall was an accident and thereby humn her husband's career or keep quiet and pray? That Is the first of her many problems. FOOTNOTE:

In these days when signature tunes are the fashion and only the faintest excuse is needed for the playing of one, it was obvious that the Queen Mary would get hers cooner or later.

And who should have written it of course, but the Theme Song King. Henry Hall himself?

Picking up a Columbia record (FB. 1-403) 11 was a bit of a shock to find that only one of the two labels bore. the famillar semi-quavers known as the "Magic Notes." 'The other is decorated with a broadside view of the Queen Mary in gold on a blue ground.

Henry Hall's latest opus, recorded by the B.B.C. Danco Band, is called "Somewhere at Sea," and is, indeed, described on the label as the "Omcini Signaturo Tune of R.M.8. Queen Mary."

The geographile indecision of the song's title. I feel, is not quite in keep- ing with the league-by-league reports. of the last week, but at least it is a pleasing tune and suffelently romantic to be successful,
