̒Cousin Jenny ̓
A new serial play in six parts by G. M. Wilson
2—̒In the Bear's Den '
Production by May Jenkin
On her first arrival at her uncle's house Jenny made anything but a good impression on her boisterous twin cousins. She was very shy and scared of dogs, and in consequence Babs and Mick heartily despised her. After the adventure in the quarry, however,. they were forced into unwilling respect, but they were still unfriendly, and it was only with their elder brother Tim that Jenny found herself on easy terms. To him she confided her passion for painting and her hope of winning a place in an art school.

Mozart-Beethoven
During the year 1784, when he was twenty-eight, Mozart wrote no fewer than six piano concertos. The reason for this, no doubt, was his own success as a virtuoso. The Concerto in E flat, to be played tonight, is the first of these. Mozart dedicated it to Babette Ployer, one of his pupils, the daughter of the Archbishop of Salzburg's agent in Vienna. The orchestra for which it is scored is small, consisting of strings, oboes, and horns; but according to Alfred Einstein, the Concerto, far from being a continuation ot the type of the Salzburg concertos and the first three composed in Vienna, marks the beginning of the great series of twelve concertos, constituting the summit of Mozart's instrumental work.
Wagner called Beethoven's Seventh Symphony ' the apotheosis of the dance.' In the course of the spacious introduction we hear repeated notes which are gradually transformed into the main rhythmic idea of the Vivace. A persistent rhythm characterises the Allegretto, though here the mood is elegiac, if not tragic. The Scherzo is buoyant and enlivening, the finale whirling and dynamic.
