Norman Williams (bass)
Nicolai, like Mascagni and Leoncavallo in more recent times, was a one-work composer. His fame rests on his opera The Merry Wives of Windsor. In England, however, we know only the overture with its romantic introduction exquisitely painting the moonlit forest of Windsor.
Incidentally, one melody which appears later in the piece evidently inspired one of the loveliest tunes in The Mastersingers. Wagner, rehearsing his own masterpiece, is said on one occasion to have stopped the orchestra with a cry of dismay : ' Good heavens, gentlemen! This is Nicolai, and I never noticed it! '

C. H. Middleton and F. H. Grisewood
We are at the end of March, and, thanks to the weather, all behind with the garden. F. H. Grisewood , as listeners know, has the additional handicap of making a garden out of a meadow. Once again he will ask C. H. Middleton the kind of questions that puzzle amateur gardeners, and Middleton, in his human, kindly way, will put him and listeners wise.

Alistair Cooke
This is the farewell talk of Alistair Cooke , who has been giving these talks for the record period of three years. Since the spring of last year he has, in addition, been doing a weekly broadcast for NBC called 'London Letter', and giving America all the news from England. British listeners will not be surprised to hear that in a recent poll by the radio editors of 620 stations, Alistair Cooke , the only broadcaster in the list not an American, was returned in the first dozen commentators.
Although his regular broadcasts in future will be for America, he will not be lost to British listeners. On Wednesday (Regional) he is to present a swing record programme, ' River, Stay 'way from my Door', and he has several other programmes arranged for the spring.
The fortnightly talks will he taken over by F. A. Rice , who, like his predecessor, is a Cambridge man and, like him, edited The Granta. Rice is on the editorial staff of The Yorkshire Post in London, and did a tour of America eighteen months ago to study the movies.
