This evening Mr. C.H. Middleton is to talk about the Chelsea Flower Show which opened on Wednesday and does not close until 5 p.m. this afternoon. This great spring show of the Royal Horticultural Society was formerly held in the Temple Gardens on the Embankment, but soon outgrew the available space. It was therefore moved to the large grounds of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, the well-known home of the army pensioners.

Chelsea Show is more than a flower show nowadays; it is one of the opening events of the London season, and on its first day is crowded with the world of fashion. It is also the annual meeting place of the gardening fraternity of the various associations. The show covers many acres and includes exhibits of practically every flower known to the garden, from the rarest orchid to the common daisy.
Full-sized ornamental and rock gardens are always a popular feature.

from the Royal Opera House,
Covent Garden
In 1857 at Zurich Wagner was enmeshed in the lore of Teutonic legend, and with the score of Die Walkiire completed twelve months earlier, he was in the midst of Siegfried. Then a strange thing happened. In a roundabout way the then Emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro II, had heard of Wagner as a composer of opera, and in due course Wagner was approached to supply a work for the Italian Opera Company there. The proposal led Wagner to consider the possibility of Tristan, which had long been in his mind-there was even a question of an Italian text. The Brazil scheme gradually faded out of sight and mind, but the stimulus sank deep into Wagner's thoughts, and what might have been Dom Pedro 's loss became the glorious enrichment of German music. See the article by William Wallace on page 13.

Clemens von Franckenstein , who was born in 1875, studied music first in Vienna, then at the Hoch Conservatoire in Frankfurt as a pupil of Iwan Knorr (who was also the teacher of Cyril Scott , Balfour Gardiner , Norman O'Neill , and Percy Grainger ).
In 1902 he appeared regularly for five years in England as a conductor, and then for the next five years was conductor at the Royal Operas in Wiesbaden and Berlin. From 1912 until the end of the war he was General Director of the Munich Opera. In 1924 he went back there and remained Director until 1934.
Von Franckenstein is a composer of songs, orchestral pieces (Variations on a theme by Meyerbeer, Rhapsody, Dance Suite, Praeludium, etc.), and three operas, (Fortunatus, Rahab, Li-Tai-Pe—the last-named was played on twenty-eight German operatic stages).
His ' Serenade ', scored for strings, harp, two flutes, two oboes, cor anglais, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, and percussion, was first performed in London in 1934 under Sir Thomas Beecham.
