A Recital by Doris Watkins (soprano) and Andre Evnett (pianoforte)
Mussorgsky's ' Nursery' Songs, composed to his own words at various times during the period 1868-72, are among the finest of his essays in musical realism. The vocal line is as near to ' literal translation' of words into terms of tone as any composer has ever got-or is ever likely to get. These songs are not ' for ' children or ' about ' children ; they are the very voice of childhood. The child asks his muse for a story, gets put in the corner and calls her' cross old thing ', is frightened by a beetle and kills it, sings his doll to sleep, gabbles through his prayers, rides his hobby-horse (and has an accident), saves his pet bird from the cat-and each little incident is perfectly caught and expressed in Mussorgsky's music.

Franklyn Kelsey
The fourth and last ' rolling stone ' is a well-known broadcaster who not only plays parts on the air but writes the most exciting parts for other people. His serial plays Southward Ho !, Robin Hood , Shield of Malkus, The Island in the Mist, and Children in the Sun have been among the most popular features presented by that wholesale provider of popular features, the London Children's Hour. Today Franklyn Kelsey is to show listeners that his life has been as exciting as any of his plays.
