Variations on a theme by Tchaikovsky
(for strings).....Arensky
Slavonic rhapsody No. 3 Dvorak
A. S. Arensky (1861-1906), a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, is one of the most interesting of minor Russian composers. His ' Variations on a theme by Tchaikovsky', in its original form, was scored for violin, viola, and two cellos, a combination producing a suitably elegiac tone colour. It was re-arranged for the normal quartet, and later for string orchestra. The theme is taken from Tchaikovsky's beautiful song ' Legend ' (' Christ in His Garden ').
Conductor, P. S. G. O'Donnell
Light Music by British Composers
John Candia
For many years John Candia worked in the South American fruit business.
In his talk this afternoon he will tell you what the interior of Paraguay was like in 1927 when he first visited it. He found a country of bad communications, not always friendly inhabitants, and far from friendly wild life. The story he tells is of how he travelled from Asuncion into the interior to give a lecture on fruit-packing to a native audience. Strange things befell him on the way, his lecture was not the success it might have been, and the night after it held further shocks.

From the May Fair Hotel, London
It is exactly a hundred years since the first adhesive postage stamp was placed upon an envelope, and it is to commemorate this event that the Royal Philatelic Society is meeting this evening. Unhappily the war has prevented the attendance at the dinner of many famous stamp-collectors from all over the world who had announced their intention of coming. Nevertheless, a large and distinguished gathering is likely to be present, presided over by Sir John Wilson , Bart., President of the Royal Philatelic Society and Keeper of the King's Stamps.

Cast

Call-boy, stage manager, actors, etc.
Scene: London, 1829
Play produced by Barbara Burnham
In this little play the author of Gallows Glorious relates one incident from the life of Fanny Kemble , one of the greatest of all English actresses.
Children of great theatrical families generally long to follow the tradition, but this was not so in Fanny Kemble 's case. Indeed, she had apparently no feeling for the stage at all as a young girl. In this play you will hear how, when her father, Charles Kemble , came up against financial misfortune, she was persuaded to play Juliet at Covent Garden, and how in a single evening she won fame.
