STORIES FROM WORLD HISTORY. ' Haroun Al Raschid, Caliph of Baghdad.' (A.D. 765-809). Script by Christine Dudley
Al Raschid means The Just, but the many stories told about Haroun, whom most people know from the ' Arabian Nights * or Flecker's ' Hassan,' leave one uncertain how far he deserved this title. Listeners may judge for themselves this afternoon.

Programme includes the anonymous ' St. Bartholomew's Fair' and Thackeray's ' Mahogany Tree '
2.50 ORCHESTRAL CONCERT SERIES. ' The Woodwind-I,' by Archie Camden
