The programme to be heard this afternoon from the Royal Albert Hall , given in aid of The Musicians' Benevolent Fund-which has done so much in the past for the less fortunate members of the musical profession-is, as one would expect by the title of the concert, representative in every way of British music and musicians. The items that have been selected are noteworthy for their contrast in style and variety of approach to music of an essentially patriotic character.

The Rev. Canon H. Anson ,
Master of the Temple
In his reminiscences today Canon Anson will discuss the passing of the original Tractarians ; Bishop Gore , Pusey House, and the publication of ' Lux Mundi ' ; the gradual substitution of ' Traditionalist' and ' Modernist' for the old ecclesiastical divisions ; and the eventual fusion of two doctrines into the genuine ' Tractarianism'.

The scene takes place before the walls of Troy, just after the battle
Play produced by Barbara Burnham
'We feel in the background', writes Gilbert Murray in his preface to his translation, 'the presence of the conquerors, sinister and disappointed phantoms; of the conquered men, after long torment now resting in death. But the living drama for Euripedes lay in the conquered women.... The Troades itself has indeed almost no fierceness and singularly little thought of revenge. It is only the crying of one of the great wrongs of the world wrought into music, as it were, and made beautiful by "The most tragic of the poets".'
The radio production of this famous Greek tragedy will be distinguished by the broadcasting of two of the great actresses of modern times. The part of Hecuba will be played by Lillah McCarthy, whose retirement from the stage in 1922 came all too soon for her many admirers: while that of Cassandra, daughter of Hecuba, will be played by Flora Robson, whose performance in the play Mary Tudor will not soon be forgotten.
An article on the tragedy will be found on page 6.

An appeal on behalf of The Birmingham Hospitals Centre by the Rt. Hon. Neville Chamberlain, M.P.
The Birmingham Hospitals Centre consists of a general hospital of 740 beds, new buildings for the Medical School of the University of Birmingham, and a block of one hundred beds for paying patients. It is the first hospitals centre to be established in Great Britain, and it will combine the three essential functions of modern medical practice - the treatment of patients, the training of doctors and nurses, and research and investigation into the causes of disease.
It is anticipated that the first five hundred beds will be opened for the admission of patients early next year and that the medical school will be opened at the same time. The total estimated cost of this scheme is £1,250,000, and of this sum £800,000 has already been raised.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Rt. Hon. Neville Chamberlain, [address removed]

A Discussion in Cockpit Form
Ever since the war, the discussion of Sunday games has been a matter of acute feeling. It affects particularly those great industrial centres where space for games has to be provided chiefly by the public authorities. It also happens that the older conception of the English Sunday is most firmly held in just those districts. Those whose religious convictions cannot countenance the playing of games on Sundays have largely influenced public authorities in keeping the playing-fields and lawns closed to the many others, mostly of the younger generation, who regard Sunday as a day of relaxation and sport, and demand public facilities for what they feel is their right.
