A running commentary on the International Rugby Union football match by H. B. T. Wakelam from Twickenham
There have been justifiable complaints that for years commentaries on international matches at Twickenham have been spoilt by noises made unconsciously by the crowd in the neighbourhood of the microphone hut. Owing to sound conductivity, there is no way of preventing sounds reaching the hut without substantial structural alterations to the stand itself, the cost of which would have been prohibitive, apart from anything else. Today a new microphone technique is being tried and the commentary will be given through a ' lip' microphone designed to exclude extraneous noises. International fans-Scottish ones in particular-will note that the sports talk this evening will have a special interest for them.

The Metropolitan Opera House, New York, is one of the largest opera houses in the world. It was built and owned by a corporation of wealthy men called the Metropolitan Opera House Real Estate Company, and the management was leased to an impresario. In 1883 it was opened under the management of Henry E. Abbey to give productions of opera in opposition to the lyrical productions of the Academy of Music. The management passed from one impresario to another and it was not until Maurice Grau took charge that opera became a source of profit in America. His successor, Heinrich von Conried, retired in 1908 when this system came to an end, and an organisation called the Metropolitan Opera Company, under the chairmanship of Otto H. Kahn , took over the opera entirely.
The Metropolitan Opera is now considered one of the foremost opera houses in the world.
' Carmen ', Act 1
In a city square the guard is being relieved. Zuniga (bass) is officer of the guard, Don Jose (tenor) is a sergeant. Micaela (soprano) comes with a message to Don Jose from his mother, but, finding him at first absent, retires. At noon the girls arrive from the cigarette factory, among them Carmen (mezzosoprano), a pretty, but fickle, gypsy. She sings the Flower Song, flinging a rose to Jose, who is at last attracted. But the girls return to their work, and Micaela comes again, and now delivers her message. Presently there is a disturbance, and the girls rush out of the factory. Carmen has stabbed another girl in a quarrel... She is arrested by Zuniga, but so bewitches Don Jose that he contrives her escape.
