in ' The Music of Men's Lives '
A Silver Jubilee Programme
Devised and Written by COMPTON MACKENZIE
(.See below)
Here, briefly, is the outline of ' The Music of Men's Lives'. In this year of grace, 1935, Margaret's daughter Nancy makes a successful stage debut in a Jubilee revue. At the theatre Margaret meets Richard, a former lover, with whom she had been on the stage many years ago. Margaret and Richard go to supper at a night club and, while waiting for the heroine of the evening to join them, begin to recall the happy past: Margaret in revue; Margaret and Richard in melodrama ; Caruso at Covent Garden ; a railway journey back from Ascot in 1912; a dance in 1913, with Margaret falling in love with Robert ; Richard off to the war ; Robert and Richard meeting by chance at a concert-party show in France ; Margaret as a dance-teacher in the crazy post-war Age of the Dance ; Margaret struggling for work in film studios : Margaret acting for the B B C : through the adventures of these two, we see the change in music and entertainment over twenty-five years.
' The Music of Men's Lives' will be repeated in the Regional programme tomorrow night

POUGNET-MORRI SON-PINI
TRIO
WILLIAM PRIMROSE (viola)
MARGUERITE NATALIA (soprano) (First Performance)
This programme of chamber music has several very interesting features. Firstly, the Trio consists of three first-rate young artists : Jean Pougnet , a brilliant violinist well-known to listeners as a soloist and chamber music player; Anthony Pini , one of Britain's finest 'cellists ; and Angus Morrison , who has worked his way to the front rank of the younger British school of pianists. Finally, William Primrose , for whose magnificent viola playing Tertis has expressed the highest admiration. The programme opens with the first performance of a Piano Quartet by Guy Weitz , the eminent organist. This would appear to be a new departure for Mr. Weitz, whose compositions have been chiefly confined to the organ.
