BRADMAN RECORDING
DOES OWN PLAYING FOR GRAMOPHONE CRICKET TALK, TOO United. I*.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 9.10 a.m. LONDON. Thursday. Don Bradman, the young Australian batsman, free of the cares of cricket, surprised the Columbia Gramophone Company by arriving at the studios with a music case and announced that he proposed to make a pianoforte dance record. He forthwith sat down at the piano and made a highly successful record from his improvisation of two popular tunes, “An Old-fashioned Locket” and “Our Bungalow of Dreams.” This was not precisely what the company expected, so Bradman was asked to say something about cricket. He sat down and wrote a brief talk upon the game, which he then spoke, completing a record in five minutes. Bradman then hurried to Thurston to see Lindrum and" Falkiner playing billiards. -Hullo, Walter,” he greeted Lindrum. “Hullo, Don,” the billiards champion replied, “I was just too late to see you bat.” To this Bradman 'replied: “I’m finishing as you are beginning.”
