During the sixteenth century Spanish organ music was much in advance of that of Germany. In view of the fact that the Netherlands were under Spanish rule, there was a considerable interchange of artistic ideas, with the result that the music of Spain and Portugal was enriched by the influence of the Netherland school of composition, which was then at its greatest. This afternoon's programme consists of pieces by outstanding Spanish and Portuguese composers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

The personnel of the Norris Stanley Sextet is, with one exception, the same as that of Pattison's Salon Orchestra. Founded by Norris Stanley, the violinist and director of the Salon Orchestra, it has been broadcasting for eight years, and a trio formed from it has also been heard in the Midland programmes frequently. Norris Stanley himself began playing the violin when six, and at sixteen he was a member of Beecham's Opera Orchestra. At Pattison's he succeeded Tom Jones, who went to the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne.

H. STAFFORD HATFIELD , Ph.D.
Inventions go on, and no one is free from their influence. In this series Dr. Hatfield is keeping listeners in touch with what is going on in the inventor's world, and what is most concerning the leaders of industrial progress today. He is describing in simple language the technical improvements of all kind that are taking place, how they arose, and what obstacles had to be overcome, and he will discuss their probable influence in the future. From time to time he will bring to the microphone those who are actively engaged in the work, and he will mention the technical journals and so forth where particular subjects are being dealt with.

John Galsworthy
His Life and Work
ERIC GILLETT
In this evening's introductory talk Eric Gillett will discuss the life and work of John Galsworthy , the dramatist, whose sense of pity extended to all misfits and failures, and of whom it has been said that he blamed the system invariably rather than the man. In the subsequent eleven talks Eric Gillett will discuss Galsworthy's philosophy of life as seen through his plays.
In dignity and sincerity and human sympathy he was without a rival as a dramatist, and he had few superiors as a craftsman of plays. Every play from his pen dealt with some social problem. They are all worth reading, and they are all worth seeing, and they are all worth hearing about. Members of discussion groups will find it worth while to make a start with The Silver Box, which is to be the basis of Eric Gillett 's talk next Monday.
