VICE-ADMIRAL SIR REGINALD GUY HANNAM

HENDERSON, the man who built Britain's new Navy, has not lived to see his work completed. He died recently, aged fifty-eight, in the Royal Naval Hospital, Portsmouth. Although he spent £200,000,000 on new warships, he was almost unknown outside the Admiralty.

His health was broken by the strain of five years' constant

office work, often for twelve Bebe Daniels

He had been removed to the Royal Naval Hospital from a London nurs- ing home. He leaves a wife and two Bonn.

An Inquiry by the B.B.C, Injồ tho | insies of broadcast listeners crjáblish- ed the fact that variety programmes are popular among people of all ages, while chumber muste had the least number of admirers...

Representative listeners were invite: ed to place in the order of their pre- ference 21 types of programmes. The leading types proved to be:

1, Variety; 2, theatre and cinema 3, military bands; 4, musical organs; comedien; b, dance music and plays.

The last in order were:

15, Song recitala; 18, tennis com- mentaries: 17, plano recitals and grand opera; 18, violin recitals; '20, serial readings; 21, chamber music.

PUBLIC FOR chamber MUSIC

The B.B.C, estimates that there are 24,000,000 adult steners who like variety and 13,000,000 who like taiks. Even chamber musle, last on the list, has a public of 2,000,000.

The Investigation showed little to hoose between the tastes of men and. women, but age made a great differ ence. The following table compares the tastes of listeners under 20 and those over 70:
