​

"Rob Roy."

ONE of the most interesting radio events of the week will be the broadcast version of "Rob Roy," which is to be transmitted from Glasgow to three other stations—Newcastle. Cardiff, and London—when this romance of old Scotland, adapted for broadcasting by Mr. R. L. Jeffreys, will be unfolded in a way never dreamed of by its originator, Sir Walter Scott, even in his most imaginative moments!

Every player has been chosen specially to suit the requirements of broadcasting. The chorus numbers will be sung by a large choir of members of the Glasgow Lyric Club, while the hand of the 1st Royal Scots Fusiliers will support the station orchestra.

To listen to the story of the doughty Highland chief, to hear the old choruses and minstrel lays sung with true Scottish fervour, and to listen to the bagpipes played as only Scotsmen can play them—this will be an unprecedented pleasure for thousands south of the Border.
