Symphony Concerts were first instituted at Harrogate in 1899 and held at the Royal Spa Concert Rooms. In the following year Harrogate set an example to provincial music by giving a series of special concerts devoted to the music of British composers. Colderidge-Taylor, Parry, Mackenzie, Elgar, Sir Frederic Cowen , Sir Edward German , and Hamish MacCunn were all invited to conduct their own programmes.
The present century has seen Harrogate become an important provincial musical centre under the successive leadership of C. L. Naylor , Julian Clifford , Howard Carr , Basil Cameron (who is now conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra), and the present director, Louis Cohen.

A. PASTOR, D. Phil. (Cervantes Professor cf Spanish Language and Literature in the University of London)
This evening Dr. Pastor, who is Cervantes Professor of Spanish language and literature and head of the department of Spanish studies in the University of London, King's College, is to give the first of two talks on Spain. These talks are introductory to a first-year course in the Spanish language which Maria de Laguna is to begin on October 3, but they are also complete talks in themselves.
There is no greater authority on Spain and her people than Dr. Pastor, who studied at the University of Madrid -town of perfumes, for the bakeries burn in their ovens thyme and rosemary-and studied at Oxford University, where he became Taylorian Lecturer. Among other positions he has held, he has been adviser to the London County Council since 1922.
In 1931 Dr. Pastor assisted H.R.H. the Prince of Wales in the preparation of his South American tour. He has lectured throughout Europe on Hispanic subjects, and written a number of books on Spain. Old student listeners will remember that he gave the first Spanish instruction course ever given for adults by the BBC.

VALENTINE BELL
In his first talk on Monday Valentine Bell discussed ' Youth at Work '. This evening he is to discuss ' Youth at Leisure '. And the two talks go hand in hand. It is not generally realised that eighty per cent. of those who have left elementary schools have got to do what are known as repetition or non-progressive jobs-the twenty per cent. having been weeded out at the age of eleven to go on automatically to higher education. But these eighty per cent. who are not destined to be foremen, or something as ambitious, are quite content as long as the money is all right-they do their job and enjoy their leisure.
And how do they spend their leisure ?
They are not so keen as one might imagine on watching football. At a big factory at Leeds the other day, Valentine Bell saw lads knock off at five o'clock, take off their overalls, and go off into the country. He will speak of the need of more playing fields.
As to the other side-ill-spent leisure.
He will speak of the problems of big seaside resorts, of cheap, injurious fiction. Valentine Bell won't have the pictures blamed for crime. If they didn't have films ', he says, ' the black sheep would be a lot blacker '. He has spoken to Probation Officers all over the country. The young men who go to prison are mostly out of work.
As to the modern tragedy of ' Youth
Unemployed ', he will reserve that for his third talk next Monday.

ERNEST BUTCHER (baritone)
For many years the late Norman O'Neill was musical director at the Haymarket Theatre. Among his best incidental music written for the Hay- market productions was the music to Maeterlinck's The Blue Bird and Sir James Barrie 's Mary Rose. The four dances from The Blue Bird now performed as a concert suite have attained wide popularity.
The First is the ' Dance of the Mist
Maids '. The mist shuts out the Land of Memory, and through it the children, Tyltyl and Myltyl, find their way. The Second is a ' Dance of Fire and Water ', who fight for supremacy. The Third is the ' Dance of the Stars ' in the Palace of Night. Lastly comes the ' Dance of the Hours', who come out of the grandfather clock when Tyltyl turns the magic stone.
