Leader, Boris Pecker
Conducted by Hyam Greenbaum
The show presented by Francis Worsley
Here is a programme that will give certain radio personalities a chance to haul down from shelf and cupboard compositions of theirs that have never been broadcast, and in certain cases never performed at all. Harry Pepper, for example, has written an operetta that has never come across the footlights, and a song from this will be a feature of the programme. Ernest Dudley has foraged from his attic an un-performed sketch which includes a Chinese character named Foo. This Oriental was originally to be the figure round which the 'Mr. Walker Wants to Know' series was to be built. Later on, however, it was decided to have another form of 'junk man'! Foo, who is bland, fifty, and philosophical, has broadcast twice before once in 'Mr. Walker Wants to Know' and once in 'Meek's Antiques'.

Beethoven
Overture: Prometheus
Symphony No. 4, in B flat

The majority of Beethoven's nine symphonies are genial in mood, particularly the even numbers. No. 4 in B flat, for instance, is full of exuberant spirits. Even the slow movement and the slow introduction to the first movement have no hint of tragedy, although in both there are moments of agitation and mystery.
There are the customary four movements, the slow movement coming second and the scherzo third.

A talk by ' Onlooker '

The fourth of a new series of musical programmes devised by Leslie Baily telling the story of famous stage successes and how they were written and produced
'The Beggar's Opera' by John Gay
First produced in 1728 at Lincoln's Inn Fields, with Lavinia Fenton as Polly; many times revived, including at the Haymarket, 1820, with Madame Vestris as Macheath; at the Lyric, Hammersmith, for 1,463 performances in 1920-23, with Frederick Ranalow as Macheath and Sylvia Nelis as Polly; and at the Haymarket, 1940, with Audrey Mild-may and Michael Redgrave.
The music arranged by Frederic Austin
The compere, Hugh Morton
Radio script by Giles Playfair
Production by Ronald Waldman

Riotous, tuneful, thoroughly English, and ever-fresh, The Beggar's Opera has delighted audiences ever since it was first performed. The dashing Macheath and his fascinating Polly Peachem are the perfect pair of light-opera lovers, and none who have seen the show is likely to forget the wit and insouciance of their story as it runs its tempestuous course through taverns, prisons, and the broad highway.
Leslie Baily will delve back into the history of The Beggar's Opera right from the start and trace its fortunes up to the present day.
