(Leader, Paul Beard)
Conducted by Warwick Braithwaite

Moiseiwitsch, the soloist tonight, also played Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto at the Henry Wood Birthday Promenade Concert last night. He is a particularly sympathetic and authoritative interpreter, since he was a friend of the composer, The Concerto, with its ardent melodies and sonorous piano-writing has attained a high degree of popularity. Rachmaninov was in his late twenties when he wrote it, and behind its dedication * To Monsieur N. Dahl there lies an interesting story.

For nearly two years Rachmaninov had suffered from apathy and want of confidence in himself, and at last his friends persuaded him to visit a Dr. Dahl, who was winning a reputation in Moscow at that time for his psychological cures achieved by suggestion The treatment was successful; Rachmaninov began to compose again and ideas flowed easily. Out of gratitude he dedicated his Second Concerto to Dahl.Â

Appeal on behalf of St. Agnes Home for Children, Thames Ditton , by Sheila Sim
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The St. Agnes Home for Children was established some thirty-five years ago to care for homeless children of all ages. It is run by a small band of Sisters of the Church of England, funds being provided by voluntary subscription and without any assistance from the State.
At the present time there are thirty children of all ages who are provided with a home in the real meaning of the word. The financial position has, however, become extremely difficult, due largely to the increased cost of living without a corresponding increase in donations.

' The Skimmity Ride'
Other parts played by Richard George , Doris Nichols, Ethel Coleridge, Harry Cayer Victor Fawkes, Arnold Tottle, Jean Howell and Millie Baywtun.
Produced by Owen Reed in the BBC's West of England studios (Nigel Stock is appearing in ' Seagulls Over Sorrento ' at the Apollo Theatre, London)
The final overthrow of Michael Henchard seems to be complete with the bankruptcy of his business and the loss of Lucetta; his rivalry with Donald Farfrae has led to crushing defeat. Farfrae's triumphs have now established him as the new Mayor of Casterbridge, the wealthy purchaser of Henchard's house and business, and the envied husband of Lucetta and against the Scotsman's comprehensive successes only one weapon remains for Henchard to use: he still has the letters that Lucetta wrote to him during their past intimacy.
Despising so cowardly a revenge, Henchard tries to return the letters to Lucetta and thus put a dignified and peaceful ending to this unhappy story. However, Jopp the bearer of the parcel whom Henchard had previously sacked examines the contents and reads some of the letters to his cronies at a disreputable beer-house in Mixon Lane. Among this evil company a plan is quickly developed for a 'skimmity ride ' - a traditional lewd procession through the town which will proclaim and burlesque the scandal of Lucetta's past association with Henchard. And it is this unexpected event of the ' skimmity ride ' that marks the climax of the whole story.
