GLAZOUNOV (born in 1865) is probably the most distinguished living Russian composer who does not work on very advanced ' modernist ' lines.
He is a master of orchestral effect, and in his ballets and other light pieces he has produced music that follows very agreeably, yet with a distinct individuality of its own, in the Tchaikovsky tradition.
The Seasons, a Suite of orchestral pieces
(to be heard this afternoon in an arrangement for Military Band), was originally written for a Ballet.
MACDOWELL'S brief song is that of a man and a woman. He recalls the joys that long ago spread before them when they first were sweethearts. Now the night of life draws on; yet. he declares, ' our love shall live for aye, sweetheart.'
SOME of the sincerest and most delicate compositions of this century were left by George Butterworth , who was killed in the war.

Come, My Own One, is a Sussex folk-song — one among several that he 'collected and arranged.

Miss Cathleen Nesbitt has played many varying parts, with conspicuous success, since she went to America with that famous company, the Irish Players, in 1911. There, and at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, she acquired that technique which is so rare on the stage today. At present she is enhancing her reputation by her acting as Florence in The Constant Nymph.
