Cast in order of speaking:
Richard Coeur-de -Lion has been ill of a fever in the camp near Acre where the hosts of the Crusaders were assembled. He was miraculously cured by a physician sent by the common enemy, Saladin. His recovery was secretly unwelcome to Conrade, Marquis of Monserrat, and the Grand Master of the Templars. These two plotted secretly how they might sow dissension between the various leaders of the Crusade, for they had come to the conclusion that it would suit them better if the venture should fail and the Crusaders should go back, leaving Monserrat and the Grand Master to make a separate peace with Saladin.

Conductor, John Hopkins
Maurice Johnstone has himself described how he ' was pitchforked into the storm-centre of English music in 1932 when he became Sir Thomas Beecham 's private secretary.' Three years later he joined the BBC's music department, and since 1938 has been .in charge of the North Region's music programmes. His Celebration Overture ' Banners,' which has been broadcast several times, was first performed at Liverpool a year ago during the Festival of Britain; it was also played at the opening of the reconstructed Free Trade Hall in Manchester last November.
Tarn Hows is an upland stretch of water between Hawkshead and Coniston in the Lake District, and in his Cumbrian Rhapsody Maurice Johnstone has expressed his love of the Lake District as a whole in a tone-picture of a favourite haunt at early morning, high noon, and evening. The music depicts the tarn, guarded by pine trees and nourished by murmuring becks, with the wide panorama of the fells in the distance. Harold Rutland

4—' The Fatal Step '
Characters in order of speaking:
Produced by David H. Godfrey
The death of both their parents has left Magdalen and Norah Vanstone alone at Combe-Raven with their former governess, Miss Garth. It is to Miss Garth that their late father's lawyer, Mr. Pendril, explains that the two girls were both born out of wedlock, their father having been married to a woman who would not accede to a divorce. The letter Mr. Vanstone had received just prior to his death brought information of the death of his wife, thus enabling him to marry the girls' mother, with whom he had been living for many years. With this ceremony complete, he had intentions of making a new will but he wes killed before being able to do so. Hence not one penny of the £ 80,000 fortune will be inherited by the two daughters, but the money will pass in its entirety to their uncle, Mr. Michael Vanstone.
