An Adventure Play by FRANKLYN KELSEY
Nuraddin, believing that he and Chang Li have trapped the Chieftain and his friends in the secret house under the sea, carried forward his plans for usurping the throne of the Island. The Chieftain, however, is safely on board the Puffin .with his friends, waiting for his opportunity.
Nuraddin has obtained the support of the Islanders, and his coronation ceremony is nearly completed when the Chieftain appears beside the throne and interrupts the proceedings.
Chang Li takes a hand in the game and wins the trick for Nuraddin. There are, however, a few more hands to play yet—and the Chieftain holds strong cards. *

The Fleet Street Choir consists of men and women concerned in newspaper and allied work in Fleet Street. The Choir has been in existence now for five years, and is already established in the front rank, holding all the chief choral awards in the Metropolitan area. Visits abroad have been made in recent years, and the Choir's appearances have met with gratifying success.
A curious feature of the organisation is that no strict set of rules has been drawn up. The members are required to observe ' Loyalties', the basis of which is a sworn fealty to fellow-members.

There are two Christmas plays for children which are staged with unfailing regularity every Christmas, and have been for some years-Peter Pan and Where the Rainbow Ends. Some of the success, at least of the latter play, is due to the very charming music which Roger Quilter wrote for it and which, in the form of a suite, is well known on the concert platform. Quilter combines with his own special talent a gift of writing for children in a manner that they themselves understand and find particularly pleasing. His very popular ' Children's Overture ', which is full of tunes that appeal to children, testifies to this gift.

Second General News Bulletin

Last week Filson Young told listeners why he was learning to fly, and tonight he is to come to the microphone, not as one who sees flying as an ideal without practical experience, but as one who has had his first lesson, who, as a pupil, has actually been up in the air.
He will tell of his experiences-humorous, unnerving, easy or difficult -whatever they may have been. And thus listeners will hear first-hand the adventures around one who is learning to fly.

Quejas 6 la Maja y el Ruisenor (Complaints of the Serpent and the Nightingale) ; 5. El Amor y la Muerte (Love and Death) ; 6. Epilogo (Serenata del espectro) (Epilogue : The Spectre's Serenade)
Goya (Francisco Goya y Lucientes, 1746-1828), some of whose pictures Granados has here interpreted in terms of music, was the most gifted Spanish painter of his time, and for a great part of his long life the favourite painter of the Spanish court. Goya was a remarkable man, a keen observer of the life and manners of his age, and as bitter a satirist as was the English
Hogarth a couple of generations before him. He painted portraits, but always with a cynical appreciation of the truth; he satired vice and frivolity in his drawings and etchings ; yet, for what he admired, he had a sympathy as warm, a brush soft and charming, as both could be hard and bitter for what he found terrible and loathsome in human nature. The music of Granados has its affinity with the art of Goya in the manner of expression both adopted conomy of line, massing of light and shade, lucidity of pattern, spaciousness, and the suggestion of movement. Still-life and the abstract had no place in the art of either Goya or Granados ; each subscribed to Goya s expressed creed, 'A picture is finished when its effect is true'.
The best known of the whole group is the Quejas 6 la Maja y el Ruisenor, which is here translated as ' Complaints of the Serpent and the Nightingale' but sometimes as ' The Maiden and the Nightingale '. Neither title conveys the full sense ; unless, of course, the intelligent listener understands the serpent to be the maiden-which is, in fact, what he is intended to do. There is more than one picture of Goya entitled La Maja , and it is quite clear that the women depicted in the pictures are sirens of the most effective order.
Another translation which it has been difficult to concentrate in a few words is that of Coloquio en la. Reja. In
Spanish, a Reja is the name given to the metal screen or grill which is fixed to the windows, particularly those facing on the street. The idea, surely derived from the Orient, was originally to keep the women under control behind the grill, as in a harem, besides keeping marauders out. It is, however usually adapted to a very human use, that of providing a convenient, screened and reasonably safe place at which .o'vers can do their courting. This is what is shown in the picture which Granados has set to music.
