Tracing History Backwards
Government-Now and Then :
' The Civil Service-Then'
K. C. BOSWELL !
This afternoon, in Mr. K. C. Boswell 's ! last talk this term, he is to tell you about the early days of the Civil Service. It consisted mainly of members of the Royal Household but, as the. business of government became more complicated; it became necessary to appoint a larger, and paid, staff. The appointment of officials often led to corruption and bribery, particularly in the eighteenth century. For this reason the Civil Service examinations were instituted, and entry into the Service was made to depend on merit alone.

A Romantic Play with Music

The scene is set in a village in the South of England and in the neighbouring country town

Production by C. DENIS FREEMAN

This romantic play is set entirely in rural England. No South American Republic, no Ruritania, but a slice of countryside of our own.
Mary the heroine lives on a farm in the South of England. Into her life, in a car as derelict as themselves, come the Burnley Players - a lovable and broken-down lot of mummers. All the old stock plays are in their repertoire; leader among them is the hero, Peter Warren, who takes the leads and writes plays of his own.
He and Mary meet. She drives him in her dog-cart to the county town, sees one of their shows, and before the end of the week she has thrown in her lot with the company.
This appealing play - perhaps the best that Freeman and Lubbock have ever done - tells of her adventures. Success comes to Peter, and both she and the old players make sacrifices for him. Successful in London, he takes his play to New York. A year passes and she hears nothing - except the refrain of his song 'For a Twelvemonth and a Day'....
John Brownlee, who is to play Peter, is principal baritone at the Opera in Paris, and during rehearsals in London flew to Paris to sing in Salome. He sang last year both at Covent Garden and at the Mozart opera season at Glyndebourne, Sussex, and is to sing again at both this year This is his first broadcast in a production. The same can be said of Albert Burdon, the comedian of The Three Sisters at Drury Lane, and of Evergreen. Tessa Deane of Derby Day fame plays Mary, and Lady Tree is to have one of the parts of her life.

Quincy Porter was born at New Haven, U.S.A., in 1897. He graduated at Yale University and attended classes at Yale Music School. Later he went to Paris and studied under Vincent d'lndy. and on his return to America finished his studies under Ernest Bloch in New York, and at Cleveland Institute, Ohio. Mr. Porter began his career as a professor at Cleveland Institute, but is now on the staff at Vassar College, New York. He conducts and also plays the viola.
As a composer, Mr. Porter has confined himself chiefly to chamber and orchestral compositions, of which several of the former have been performed in France and Germany. The ' Ukrainian ' suite appears to be based on Russian folk tunes that the composer probably came across during his travels, which have been extensive.
William Jackson of Exeter is perhaps best known today for the church service ' Jackson in F ', but in his own lifetime it was by his songs that he acquired the greatest reputation. In 1775 he published his first collection of vocal music, twelve songs ' set in a manner so simple, elegant, and original, as soon to become favourites with the public '. From these songs three have been selected, all dealing with the charms of a certain Delia, and have been arranged in the form of a short cantata for tenor and string orchestra by Julian Herbage.
Jackson, who eventually became organist of Exeter Cathedral, was also an author of many literary works and a landscape painter of no mean ability.
