EVERYBODY would like to disarm, and pave untold millions a year on the fighting Services, if it were possible. It is only as to the possibility of disarming with safety that, at this date, the militarists and the pacifists disagree. This is the question that the Headmaster of Harrow will discuss in this evening's talk.

Nachklang (Echo)
Ich sah als Knabe Blumen bluhn (When a boy I saw the flowers blooming)
The Echo in the first song is a sorrowful afterthought of the golden hours that are past.
In the next song the same poet, Klaus Groth, makes the same moan, again - 'Where now is the glory of my youth?' This kind of mental helplessness sadly afflicts German poetry.
Brahms, like our Stanford, Vaughan Williams, and Holst, was fond of arranging the folk-songs of his country. One of the most exquisite and most popular of these 'arrangements' is the little song about the Sandman who comes round about dusk and drops sand into children's eyes and sends them to sleep.
The Serenade, also a folk-song, has an unassuming tune with a very pretty phrase coming in at the end of each verse like an afterthought.

A CHEERFUL Hour, recalling those earlier melodic successes which charmed our ears only the other day—as it seems-with three sketches by F. MORTON HOWARD

L. RACKER-HUDSON
Last autumn London Station broadcast a programme of famous songs and sketches from revues of the past, which proved very popular with listeners, and tonight's programme is made to the same formula. In it you will hear some of the songs that every errand-boy was whistling and every gramophone was playing in the days when they were being sung in such revues as The Bing Boys and its successor, The Bing Boys on Broadway, Business as Usual, and The Passing Show.

A Short One-Act Play with Music by P. Bilton
It is an autumn evening. In the drawing-room of the Pembertons, a middle-class, comfortably-off family, the lights are on. A grand piano is very much in evidence, while on a side table are some glasses, plates, sandwiches, and other refreshments. Mrs. Pemberton and Julie are arranging these.
