A talk by Lilian Treen
Mrs. Lilian Treen was in Sweden at the outbreak of war. With her new-born baby, a daughter aged two, and also in charge of a nine-year-old Czech refugee boy, her journey home would have been a responsibility at any time. After the invasion of Norway by the Germans, her difficulties were increased a thousandfold, and in her talk this afternoon she will describe how she surmounted them.

Sidney Crooke (celeste)
Mozart's rarely heard Adagio and Rondo (K.617) was originally written for flute, oboe, viola, cello, and glass harmonica, but nowadays the part for glass harmonica is usually played on the celeste, as this instrument comes nearest to producing its delicate tones. The harmonica, or musical glasses, was a popular instrument in the eighteenth century. Mozart himself played the harmonica and wrote his Adagio and Rondo for a celebrated blind performer, Marianna Kirchgessner.

Solo piano, Louis Kentner From a Northern theatre
In his orchestral works Brahms never makes use of extravagant embroidery or gorgeous colouring. The four symphonies, particularly, depend for their effect almost entirely on their pure musical content. Each symphony is a masterpiece in its own right and with its own peculiar inner characteristics. For wealth of detail, ingenuity of treatment, and the working of a great musical imagination the No. 4 in E minor may perhaps be given first place.
Like most of Brahms s works, the E minor Symphony has no story nor history other than that it was composed during the years 1884-5 and on October 17 of the latter year, after it had been carefully rehearsed by von Billow, Brahms himself conducted the first performance.
Adapted for broadcasting by Howard Rose from the comedy by Frederick Lonsdale
Cast :
Produced by John Cheatle
Here is one of Frederick Lonsdale 's most amusing comedies. He takes for his theme an old idea-that of the aristocracy trying to buy off the actress who'would dare to marry into the family and gain a title ; but, being Lonsdale, he gives the story a brilliant twist. It will give a great chance to an actress who has just joined the BBC Repertory Company -Pamela Brown , who is to broadcast in the part created at the Shaftesbury in 1927 by Cecily Byrne. Pamela made her name in the Oxford Repertory Company as a young actress of versatility and rare talent.
