Serge Prokofiev is considered one of the leading contemporary composers of Russia and in his numerous works such as the opera, The Love for Three Oranges, he has shown himself to be a master technician and a composer of great individuality. His classic symphony, however, is not really representative of his style. It was composed in the spirit of a jeu d' esprit that, as its title would suggest both in form and idiom, harks back to the time of Haydn and Mozart. The music is clear cut, full of straightforward melodies and tunes, and provides a most attractive glimpse of the eighteenth century through modern eyes.

John Hilton
In his fortnightly talks since last October John Hilton has invited listeners to write to him about some of the difficulties in which they found themselves. For .nearly six months he has been trying to find a solution for them, and has answered hundreds of letters. Now he is tired, and asks listeners to- hold up their mail for the time being, to give him a rest. For his broadcast talks he will resume his musings on ' This and That '.

Dora Bright (pianoforte)
Dora Bright studied first at the Royal Academy of Music under Macfarren and Prout, and later under Moszkowski. She was the first woman to take the Lucas Medal for composition, also the first woman to write a composition for the Royal Philharmonic Society. She played her First Concerto at Dresden, Cologne, Berlin, and with Manns at the Crystal Palace.
Miss Bright has written several ballets, a number of songs and choral works, and three operas, one of which, The Waltz King, was recently produced by the Douglas-Webber School and transferred by Sydney Carrol to the Ambassadors.

' Why Talk about Words? '
A. Lloyd James
In the Talks for Discussion Groups pamphlet, which may be obtained from the BBC Publications Department, 35, High Street, Marylebone, W.I, free of charge, postage Id., it is explained why this series is called ' Words Fail Me ' and what the invention of broadcasting has to do with the reason for the series being given.
This evening in his opening talk,
Professor Lloyd James will point out that speech and language are too much accepted as a matter of course and too little studied. He will show that ' Grammar' was an attempt to describe some of the facts. The study of literature aims at discovering how language is used for various purposes. But language is more than a set of facts governed by fanciful rules ; it is the basis of all communication. Hence this series of talks to show what men and women in different walks of life think about words.

A Survey of Forestry in Great
Britain
W. L. Taylor
This is the first of a series of talks on timber, to be given by experts this month. The history of British woodlands will be considered, and famous trees, and the uses of timber; and the problem of the planting of beauty spots with State forests.
In the first talk W. L. Taylor ,
Assistant Commissioner of Forestry for England and Wales, will give an historical survey of the English forests, the trades that grew up around them, and the uses-often disastrous to the forests-to which our forest timbers were put.
He will point out how from earliest days forests were cleared or burned for protection and grazing and tillage, and have suffered in all our wars; so that in spite of the Forestry Act, passed by the Government in 1919, we are still behind the rest of Europe in our supply of timber. But ' the plantations now being made will grow into tall woods, well stocked with trees that will bring beauty, shelter, and employment to our countryside, as well as additional health to the nation '.
Some interesting pictures of British woodland will be found on page 8.
