Edouard Lalo (1823-1892) was one of the founders of modern French music. In harmony and orchestration he anticipated such composers as Debussy, Dukas, and d'Indy, who were deeply impressed with Lalo's ballet Namouna when it first appeared in 1882. It is said that they knew the score by heart. Debussy wrote an article in 'Gil Blas' in 1903 and recalled the time when he attended the first performance, which was received by the audience in a hostile manner. 'I indulged in noisy but excusable enthusiasm ', said Debussy. 'M. Vaucorbeil, a very gentle man who was then director of the Opera, had me summarily ejected. I bear him no grudge for that, but I recall this episode with feelings of deep emotion; and nothing has lessened the joyous and affectionate enthusiasm with which I still greet the name of Lalo.'

In his 'Studies of the Great Composers ' Sir Hubert Parry says that ' a curious story has been told in connection with a Mass called Assumpta est Maria..... The story is that Palestrina wrote a Mass for the Pope when he was elected, early in 1585, and the Pope (Sixtus V) did not find it to his taste, and instead of praising the composer as he came out of church, he said, " Pierluigi has forgotten the Missa Papae Marcelli and the Motets on the Canticles ", by which enigmatical remark he evidently meant that the new Mass did not please..... PaTestrina set to work upon another at once, to try and please the Pope better. This new work was pcrfonned first on the Feast of the Assumption, and was received by the Pope in a very different manner. For when he came out of church this time he said : " The Mass of this morning is of an entirely new character, and could only have been written by Pierluigi. On Trinity Sunday we found fault with his music, but today he has fully satisfied us, and we hope that he will often revive our devotion as sweetly." '

Those who follow discussions about Disestablishment will remember that on April 19 Canon Deane explained the issues at stake and the terms employed. On May 3 Sir Thomas Inskip is to defend the retention of Establishment, and this afternoon the case for Disestablishment is to be presented by tho Bishop of Durham, who of late years has reached the conviction that the present bond between Church and State has snapped. The Bishop is not only a learned historian, but an able debater and a distinguished writer of English prose.

At the beginning of the year theatre talks which had been concerned with reviews of new plays became monthly talks on matters of general interest connected with drama all over the world. From today these monthly talks are to be concerned with drama in this country and will be aimed not only at listeners in London, but at the large number of people interested in this subject in every provincial town. Each month someone intimately connected with the theatre is to talk of the theatre he knows.
Particular interest attaches to this evening's talk by Sir Cedric Hardwicke , not only by virtue of his 'position, but in view of the controversial remarks he made on modern players not so long ago.

An appeal on behalf of THE GLASGOW ROYAL INFIRMARY by the Rt. Hon. Sir ROBERT HORNE ,
G.B.E., LL.D., K.C.
Glasgow Royal Infirmary has a long and honourable history in the treatment of disease. It was founded in 1791 and opened its doors three years later. Ever since, it has served not only Glasgow, but the West of Scotland, including the Western Isles.
In the wards of this infirmary Lord
; Lister first practised antiseptic surgery, and the first X-ray apparatus in the world to be used medically was in-t stalled in 1896. From its earliest days the Infirmary has played an important part in training for medicine and 1 surgery, and not least of its work in 1 that sphere is the pioneering in the training of nurses under the matron-1 ship of Mrs. Rebecca Strong , who was a a pupil of Florence Nightingale in London after the Crimean War.
Glasgow Royal Infirmary is the second largest Voluntary Hospital in S Great Britain, the daily average of i beds occupied last year being 845, while on at least one occasion recently there have been as many as 935 beds occupied at one time.

Yesterday was the twenty-first anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli and tonight the commemoration programme, broadcast last year, is to be given again.

Last year at this time Ernest Raymond, the author of 'Tell England', who fought in the Gallipoli campaign, wrote these words in an article in The Radio Times: The story as it emerges into the light of history takes on a pattern very lovely. It begins with a host of brave men coming up from the sea in the pale light of a spring morning and storming " impregnable " beaches from open boats with deeds of heroism that remain well-nigh incredible ; and it ends on a winter midnight with an army of tired men slipping quietly away. It begins with so bright a hope ; it ends with so complete a disappointment. Using the word only in its aesthetic sense, it is a tragedy pure and perfect, the watchers reconciled to its sadness-only By the vision granted to them of the dauntless spirit of man.'

('Gallipoli' will be broadcast again in the Regional programme on Tuesday evening)
