Lord Ponsonby
It may well be the consensus of opinion that this concluding talk by Lord Ponsonby on diaries is even more interesting than those that have gone before. He deals with eccentric diaries, written by many people, in many walks of life, most of them kept in the seventeenth or eighteenth centuries ; among them a diary in which the writer reveals that he is suffering from hallucinations ; one kept by a shopkeeper who continually chided himself for his failing for drink ; one kept by a woman who would insist she was a martyr ; and one kept by a doctor who constantly rebuked himself for gluttony. Listeners will be grateful to Lord Ponsonby for this series of five talks, and many will wish there were to be more.

Act 2 of Wagner's opera
• DIE MEISTERSINGER VON
NURNBERG' from the Festspielhaus,
Salzburg
The Vienna
Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor, ARTURO TOSCANINI
The first act has witnessed the rejection of Walther as a candidate for admission to the Guild of the Mastersingers. The second act is a street in Nuremberg. The apprentices are putting up the shutters of the shops. Eva enters accompanied by her father. He leaves her and Eva's nurse enters and tells her of Walther's ill-success. Sachs now appears at the door of his shop and sings musingly of the events of the day. Eva comes across to him and urges him to compete for the prize next day. Sachs, deeply in love with Eva himself, but realising his chances are hopeless, assumes an anger he is far from feeling, and Eva leaves him in a huff.
The ensuing scene between
Walther and Eva is interrupted by the entrance of Beckmesser, the most pedantic of the Mastersingers, who has come to serenade Eva. The noises he makes rouse the neighbours and result in a clamour that ends almost in a riot. It ends as suddenly as it began, on the approach of the night watchman, who, from the now silent streets, calls the hour and departs.

by Gerald Bullett read by the Author
Gerald Bullett is a master of the technique of the short story, and in the tale he will read today this mastery is particularly evident. The plot revolves round the tenth birthday of a schoolboy, Stephen, who has set his heart on a torch for a present. He saw it in an ironmonger's shop, a torch with a ' sleek gun-metal body, thick as a broom-stick and eighteen inches long.....
From that moment he had been haunted by his splendid dream. Indeed, but for eleven hours' solid sleep every night, he had known no rest. His schoolwork suffered ; his friends found him absent-minded ; he was in love '. The poignancy of the situation as it develops is expressed with all the skill of which Gerald Bullett is capable.
