Described and appreciated from a Paris studio
By E. M. Stephan and Moray McLaren
After four years of war and nineteen years of unrest, men of all professions, of all nations, and of all countries, have built in the very heart of Paris a mighty edifice closely resembling a Palace of Peace. All crafts have their places in it ; all nations will be assembled there. Marvels unfold along the banks of the Seine in a witchery of light and colour.
Moray McLaren , who recently visited the capitals of Europe to arrange and broadcast in the series ' European Exchange ', has gone over to Paris to see round the exhibition and has taken with him a Frenchman whose name is known to every British listener. After more than thirty years spent in London,
Emile Marie Stephan has returned for the time being to his native land to broadcast from Paris about the sights that he and McLaren have seen together.

The BBC Orchestra
(Section C)
Led by Laurance Turner
Conducted by Joseph Lewis
Gwen Catley (soprano)
While in Germany in 1836, when he was twenty years of age, Sterndale Bennett wrote his overture ' The Naiads', which was inspired by a trip up the Rhine. It was actually written, however, in England while staying at Grantchester, a village on the river near Cambridge. Bennett then took the score to Leipzig where it received its first performance under Mendelssohn at a Gewandhaus
Concert. It is dedicated to the Royal Academy of Music where the composer studied.
