5.30 'What Katy did '-Part 2
Adapted from Susan Coolidge 's book, by Muriel Levy
Katy—dashing, delightful Tomboy Katy-was a heroine with children a very long time ago. But children of today are likely to find her quite as irresistible, especially when the part is being broadcast by Rosamond Barnes.
She was carried on in Madam
Butterfly when she was very small indeed. At the age of nine she entered the British Empire Competition for girls up to the age of fifteen, and walked off with the prize for All England. She has played in films and in the theatre, and achieved her ambition the other week in Headlines in Love in which she played a girl who was as old as seventeen!

played by Antonia Butler with BBC Scottish Orchestra
Leader, J. Mouland Begbie
Conductor, Ian Whyte
Edouard Lalo , who was born in 1823 and died in 1892, was one of the most original French composers of his time. Among his many works there are two outstanding for virtuosos: the Symphonie Espagnole for violin and orchestra and the Cello Concerto. The latter is a particularly fine and melodious work with a brilliantly effective part for the soloist. The lively rondo-finale has a Spanish flavour to it.
Antonia Butler trained at the Leipzig Conservatoire which was founded by Mendelssohn, and then for three years in Paris at the Ecole Normale de Musique. She gave her first public concert in Paris in 1928, her London debut following at the Wigmore Hall a year later. Since then she has given numerous recitals on the Continent and in the British Isles.
