Part 2
Pictures from an Exhibition
Mussorgsky, orch. Ravel
(Jean Martinon broadcasts by permission of the London Philharmonic Orchestra)
Mussorgsky's Pictures from an Exhibition, which were originally written for the piano, owe their origin to a memorial exhibition of paintings and drawings by Hartmann, who had been a great friend of Mussorgsky. The subjects depicted are a gnome, an old castle, children playing in the garden of the Tuileries, a Polish cart drawn by oxen, a ballet of chickens emerging from their shells, two Polish Jews (one rich, one poor), women quarrelling in the marketplace at Limoges, the Paris catacombs, a witch's ride, and the Heroes' Gate at Kiev.

Appeal on behalf of the Professional Classes Aid Council by the President, Lord Moran, M.C., M.D.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Professional Classes Aid Council is concerned with the relief of distress among professional people and their dependants, and is supported by voluntary contributions. The applications arriving daily show how heavily the burden of present conditions has fallen on this group of the community.
Immediate help can be given, but the main endeavour is to help professional men and women until they can again reach a position of independence. Assistance is also given with the education and training of young people. Annual grants are given to the sick and aged and others who are no longer able to support themselves.

12-' The Tables are Turned '
Organ played by Charles Spinks
When Tom recovers from his astonishment at learning that his unknown employer is old Mr. Chuzzlewit, he tells him of Lewsome's story accusing Jonas of the murder of his father, Anthony Chuzzlewit. John Westlock and Martin go to Mrs. Gamp's in search of evidence supporting the accusation, and find her quarrelling bitterly with Betsey Prig.
Mrs. Gamp arranges to introduce old
Mr. Chuzzlewit, John Westlock, Mark Tapley, and Lewsome secretly to Jonas's house so that they may question old Chuffey, and if necessary tax Jonas with the crime. However, the old man explains that Anthony had discovered the poison and, realising that his son was trying to kill him, had died of a broken heart. Jonas's relief is short-lived, for a few moments later the police arrive to arrest him for the murder of Montague on information supplied by Mr. Nadgett. Before he can be taken away, however, he commits suicide.
