The Practice and Science of Gardening-7
' The Cultivation of Fruit-trees '
F. W. Costin , N.D.H., F.R.H.S.
Today Mr. F. W. Costin is to talk about the growing of fruit-trees : apples, pears, plums, cherries ; and the selection of varieties for special purposes— late and early, eating and cooking. Listeners will hear about methods of planting both in the garden and orchard ; about cropping, spraying, manuring, and so forth.
As Mr. Costin is to talk to Schools next week about the pruning of fruit trees, listeners may care to ' get up ' the subject beforehand, and they can do so by listening on Friday evening. At
6.50 p.m. in the National programme they will hear a discussion on this very subject.

The Producer at Work
:-Studying the Dialogue
E. MARTIN BROWNE
This afternoon E. Martin Browne is to continue his outline of the duties of a play producer. Over-acting and stepping out of the character are common faults of the amateur actor, and listeners will be told how to avoid them. Advice, too, will be given on the best treatment of dialogue. To illustrate this talk, E. Martin Browne has arranged for a reading from John Van Druten 's play After All to be broadcast, both with and without pauses. Thus listeners will hear the dramatic value of a pause, and how the dramatic effect may be lost without one.
The excerpt will be taken from Act I,
Scene I. Henzie Raeburn will take the part of Phyl, and John Richmond that of Ralph. No doubt many listeners will find it helpful to read the scene beforehand.
The broadcast over, members of Discussion Groups can get together and argue out among themselves the various points dealt with. Is the play that deals with life more or less as it is of more value than romantic drama ? Or can't they be compared ? Does After All reflect life ? Whether or no, isn't the dialogue admirable ? In what particular places in the scene did Henzie Raeburn and John Talbot deliberately over-act or under-act their parts ? How many marks would a listener award Van Druten for humour ? Is humour essential in a play ?

(Section E)
Led by MARIE WILSON

Solo pianoforte,
JOHANNE STOCKMARR
King George I had formed the habit of attending certain masquerades on the Thames which, as a feature of those days, were organised usually on a subscription basis. On one occasion he expressed a wish that an aquatic concert might be planned on the same lines. There were initial difficulties with impresarios, who saw no profit in it for themselves, but, finally, Baron
Kilmanseck, Master of the King's '
Horse, put up the money. The concert was a great success; the river was crowded with barges, and afterwards there was a grand supper at Lord Ranelagh's house at Chelsea.
The King had already expressed high approval of the music composed specially for the occasion by the famous
Handel, first composer of the King's music, and commanded it to be repeated once before and once after supper.
Each performance took an hour, so that the King did not get back to St. James's till half-past four the next morning
This is an arrangement by Sir Hamilton Harty of some of the numbers from the complete Water Music. fohanne Stockmarr comes from Copenhagen, where she studied at the Conservatoire. Then she went to Paris and finally finished her studies under Franz Neruda , the brother of Lady Halle. Madame Stockmarr made her début in England with Lady Halle while on a European tour that included Sweden, Finland, and Germany.
