Poetical Scenes: 1. In the Woods; 2. In the Village - Godard

As early as 1858 Mussorgsky contemplated an opera on Gogol's story, 'St. John's Eve'. A year or two later he was attracted by another 'witch' subject, a play by Mengden, but it was 1866 before he was able to announce that he had 'begun to sketch out the witches'. Most of the actual composition was done in June, 1867, though the work is hardly ever played in this form. (The version usually performed, known as A Night on the Bare Mountain, is practically a composition by Rimsky-Korsakov based on Mussorgsky's material.) Mussorgsky was very proud of this work. 'I feel', he wrote, 'that "St. John's Night" is something new, and is bound to produce a favourable impression on intelligent musicians ... I have produced some individual trifles, but this is the first individual big thing I've done.'

The Scene: Dispersedly in England and Wales

The Play adapted for broadcasting by Felix Felton from the production at the New Theatre, Oxford by John Gielgud and Glen Byam Shaw
The stage production of Richard II by the O.U.D.S. was given at the New Theatre, Oxford, last February, and was notable for the distinguished names of its producers, its general high excellence, and effective team work. John Gielgud, and Glen Byam Shaw, and the fact that so many of the players came from one college - St. Edmund's Hall - were no doubt responsible for this. David King-Wood's Richard was praised for its beauty and feeling and uncommon maturity. It should be interesting to hear these undergraduate actors, who have been professionally produced (and who, some of them, may be Gielguds and Byam Shaws of the future) playing Shakespeare on the air tonight.

An appeal on behalf of Savernake Hospital, Wilts by The Earl of Cardigan

Savernake Hospital, situated on the hill overlooking Marlborough with the woodlands of Savernake Forest coming up to its gates, is passed yearly by thousands of motorists on the London to Bath road. It has grown since its foundation in 1866 from a tiny cottage hospital of six beds to a large and fully-equipped institution of 100 beds, and serves the big area of Wiltshire.

Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to The Earl of Cardigan, [address removed]

Capt. F.H. Mellor

Tonight, from a studio of the Union Radio in Seville, Captain Mellor is to broadcast his impressions of the Holy Week processions from the Spanish town almost as soon as the ceremonies have concluded.
The celebrations are world-famous, and through them one recaptures the romantic spirit of Southern Spain, where religion is a part of the life of the people, as it has been during the centuries.
