Mr. A.P.L. Gordon has given his talks on Business every fortnight this year. He is primarily a statistical expert, but the world nowadays is so ruled by figures that the applications of his subject are endless. He has published one book, Rationalization of Tin, dealing with the tin industry, and another, Trust and Monopoly Control, dealing with large-scale Business in general. He has also worked for the Lewis Committee on Co-operative selling in the coal mining industry, and investigated into Works Councils in German industry on behalf of an important research organization. These talks are now a regular and popular feature of the programmes.

Act I, A Street in Seville
Relayed from THE ROYAL. OPERA House,
COVENT GARDES
Cast:
Conductor, JOHN BARBIROLLI
TTOWEVER true it may have been that Rossini was lazy in his later years, he was not so at the age of twenty-four, when he composed The Barber of Seville in thirteen days. Yet there is no sign of haste in the workmanship. Of its kind, it is perfect. The libretto is based on the first play of Beaumarchais's trilogy of Figaro.
The scene of the act now to be heard is a street in Seville outside Dr. Bartolo's house. Bartolo has a ward, Rosina, with whom Count Almaviva is in love. The Count has come to serenade her. Then the barber, Figaro, comes in, full of high spirits and.sings the famous patter-song extolling his own usefulness and importance as the city's factotum. As he is Dr. Bartolo's barber, the Count enlists his services to bring about a meeting with Rosina, who is equally anxious to meet the Count. She contrives to drop him a letter from the balcony.
