Haydn's Military' Symphony is so called because of the use (in the slow movement and the finale) of Turkish military instruments: triangles, cymbals, and bass drum. The Symphony was first performed at Haydn's benefit concert on May 2, 1794, during his second visit to London. Points of special interest are the unusual scoring-for flute and two oboes — of the principal theme of the first movement (after the slow introduction); and the fact that the second movement, the Allegretto, is a re-orchestrated version, with an altered ending, of a slow movement from a Divertimento in G written for rhe King of Naples in 1790. A dark splendour characterises the opening movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto in C minor; a tender simplicity the Larghetto. The finale, a series of variations on a rather demure march-like theme, ends in a mood in which defiant energy and pathos are curiously mingled.

Appeal on behalf of the Benevolent Fund of the Polish Air Force Association in Great Britain (registered under the War Charities Act, 1940), by Lord Vansittart, P.C., G.C.B., G.C.M.G., M.V.O.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to[address removed]
The Polish Air Force Association is responsible for the welfare of Polish ex-airmen and airwomen who throughout the last war served in the Polish Air Force under British command. The most important work of the Association is carried out by its Benevolent Fund, which gives assistance to those who are disabled, sick, convalescing, or temporarily unemployed, and those who are unable to earn their living because of misfortune or old age. The Benevolent Fund helps to take care of widows and orphans of deceased Polish airmen and bnngs relief to those Polish airmen and airwomen and their families who are living in distress.
The Fund's activities are not restricted to giving financial aid and clothes to those in need-any personal problem or difficulty receives attention. Such problems range from finding a bed for a child in a sanatorium to the issuing of free meals to those who cannot afford to provide themselves with regular nourishment.

3 — ' An Expedition to Sotherton Court'
Cast in order of speaking:
Produced by Mary Hope Allen
Mr. and Miss Crawford have arrived from
London on a visit to the Grants at Mansfield Parsonage. Miss Crawford decides to set her cap at Mr. Tom Bertram, the heir to Mansfield Park, but is well content to allow his more serious brother Edmund to fall in love with her-a situation watched with distress by Edmund's gentle cousin, Fanny. The two Miss Bertrams vie with each other for first place in Mr. Henry Crawford's affections, despite the fact that Maria is already engaged to Mr. James Rusthworth. This gentleman is persuaded to invite the whole party to visit his home, Sotherton Court, and the plan is taken up with enthusiasm by Mrs. Norris, who proposes to accompany the young people, leaving Fanny with Lady Bertram, who is too indolent to go.
