In the nineties of last century George Edwardes produced at Daly's Theatre a series of light operas and gave them the name of musical comedy. Lovely girls, tuneful music, gay settings-these all contributed to success after success. Sidney Jones wrote the music of both The Geisha (1896) and San Toy (1899) ; Huntley Wright , father of Betty, now of radio fame, played in both; and what is far less known to the present generation of playgoers, so did the greatest actress of modern times--Dame Marie Tempest. And very lovely her voice was.
' Songs from San Toy ' will take older listeners back to a happier day, and introduce to younger listeners something of the most delightful days and nights of the English theatre.

Weber's Euryanthe and Bizet's Carmen represent two extremes in opera: the perfect failure and the perfect success. Despite the fact that Weber's Euryanthe contains some of his finest music, it is now rarely performed except for the stirring overture, the simple reason being that the libretto is one of the worst in operatic history.
Carmen, on the other hand, which began as a failure and then became one of the most popular operas in the repertoire, is a combination of a good story set to brilliant and sparkling music.

String Quartet in G minor played by The Hirsch String Quartet-Leonard Hirsch (violin) ; Henry Ball (violin) ; James Verity (viola) ;
Kathleen Moorhouse (cello)
Schubert's G minor Quartet is a comparatively youthful work, dating from about 1815. The eighttenyear old composer had a love of chamber music in his blood, for his family had practised the quartets of Haydn and Mozart regularly on Sundays and holidays. Franz himself played the viola, and as early as 1812 began to compose for these family music-makings.
The G minor Quartet is in four movements and is one of the most delightful of these early works.

Conductor, P. S. G. O'Donnell
Richard Newton (harpsichord)
Arthur Cranmer (baritone)
Richard Newton has devoted the last seven years to music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the instruments for which it was originally written-harpsichord, bass viol, and lute. He broadcast some unpublished sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti - from his home in Birmingham in July, 1939, and tonight is giving a recital on his own harpsichord in the studio.
ARTHUR CRANMER AND
RICHARD NEWTON
These two sonatas were not included in the complete edition of Domenico Scarlatti , but were found in a volume of which, so far as is known, only one copy exists.
