Scene: The private sitting-room of the proprietress of the ' Wave Crest'
Hotel, East Anglia
Time: A day in September, 1914
Production by Howard Rose
This play, which created a sensation during the last war, was first produced at the Royalty Theatre, London, in 1914. It has all the best ingredients of a wartime espionage story — hidden wireless stations, carrier pigeons, plans, sinister waiters, and of course spies themselves. Although there are only twelve people in the cast, six of them are spies.
Needless to say affairs at the Wave
Crest Hotel become involved and exciting as spy succeeds spy in a series of mysterious missions. There is also a basket of white feathers that is taken in good part by ' the, man who stayed at home '.

Leader, Paul Beard
Conducted by Clarence Raybould
Up to a few years ago Dvorak's ' New World ' Symphony enjoyed a popularity equalled only by Schubert's ' Unfinished ' and Beethoven's Fifth. There is no denying the fact that this work was featured in far too many orchestral programmes, with the result that conductors and players got thoroughly tired of it. Today the other extreme has been reached, and now we rarely hear a public performance of this work.
In four movements, it is a masterpiece of symphonic writing, clear and yet imaginative in construction.
