Ian Whyte, who is still in his thirties, is one of the most distinguished musicians in Glasgow and one of the finest conductors in Britain. His alert, expressive, and vigorous' personality gives his interpretative work a freshness and vitality that are distinctive. As a composer he has accomplished a great deal of fine work in almost every branch of composition, and in transcribing and arranging Scottish traditional music, of which he has done an enormous amount, he has shown himself to be a sensitive and brilliant re-creative musician.

Recorded music brought back from Wiltshire, some of which you will hear this evening, covered a variety of styles, ranging from groups of recorders to a performance of a Beethoven symphony and works for chorus and orchestra, all of which were played by amateurs.
In one village there was an orchestra of over forty players, the personnel of which included the village blacksmith and a woman double-bass player.

What it means to us
Among the many listeners who have written to Donald Tyerman in connection with this series is a Hampshire housewife who knows from very practical experience what the economic war means to her. She will be in the studio with him tonight.
Maggie Teyte is among the first of our singers, whether in opera or light opera. She has excelled as Melisande and Madam Butterfly, and equally as Lady Mary Carlyle in the musical version of "Monsieur Beaucaire".
After two years at the Royal College of Music, she studied singing in Paris under Jean de Reszke.
Two years later she made her debut at a Sunday night concert at Monte Carlo with Paderewski, and at the age of eighteen she made her name as Melisande at the Opera-Comique in Paris.
Reopened under the management of Dicky Hassett with Arthur Chesney , Frederick Burtwell ,
Vera Lynn , Dick Francis , and the Phoney Islanders, directed by Bill Ternent

(A recording)
A comedy with music from the original play ' Nothing but the Truth'
Lyrics by R. P. Weston and Bert Lee. Music by Jack Waller and Joseph Tunbridge. Radio adaptation by Martyn C. Webster
Cast
Narrator, Geoffrey Wincott
The Revue Chorus, the BBC Variety Orchestra, leader Frank Cantell , conductor Charles Shadwell
Production by Martyn C. Webster
At long last the BBC has secured the broadcasting rights of this famous stage comedy.
A wager that involves speaking nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours might seem fairly easy to win, but when not even ' white ' lies are permitted, the task begins to be formidable. This is, however, the undertaking that confronts the hero of this uproarious series of episodes, and the difficulty of it may be well imagined when it is explained that this hero is junior partner in a firm of land agents who want to sell a property on the top of a crumbling sea cliff.
A short act of worship
by G. R. Rainier
A highly imaginative play for broadcasting intended to show that ' careless talk may give away vital secrets'
Characters you will hear are: German Intelligence Officers; Admiral von Reitberg, Captain Crawford, R.N., various Naval Intelligence Officers, Air - Marshal Stewart , Flight - Lieutenant Peter Medhurst , Flying-Officer Carbrooke, enemy agents, workmen, chorus girls, and Cabinet ministers played by members of the BBC
Repertory Company
Production by Peter Creswell
Here is a play to drive home the significance of careless talk and its dangers to a country at war. All too innocent are the men and women in public-house and railway train, and at dinner table, who, in this dramatic object lesson, let fall the vital scraps of information that may be overheard and correlated by the enemy.
The occasion in question in this play is that of the trials of a new German battleship that are the signal for the putting into operation of a British bomber aeroplane of entirely new design. The pilot, the rear gunner, and a man in the aircraft factory are all guilty,of careless talk, the result of which is all too clearly shown in the climax of this play.
