Travel Talk
' The Swing of the Seasons '
' Summer comes in the Alps'
F. McDERMOTT
Most of you probably think of Switzerland as a place for winter sports, a snow-covered land of mountains and valleys made for skis; and so it is in the winter. Captain McDermott is to tell you about the coming of summer. But its immediate prelude is a depressing time-mud and slush ; the streams turned into torrents ; with every now and again the roar of an avalanche bringing death and disaster.
But ns the snows melt, flowers spring up, and as the sun grows warmer and the snow disappears, the peasants, who have moved down the mountains for the winter, move up them again, garlanded and led by the Queen of the Revels. Most of you will imagine she is the most beautiful girl to be found-but she is nothing of the kind.

A feature programme showing how your cups and saucers are made
Listeners are to be taken in imagination to one of the Five Towns in Northern Staffordshire, famous for pottery and as the setting for many of Arnold Bennett's stories. The idea is to visit a works and to try to find out how our dips and saucers are made. One particular piece of earthenware will be followed in all its processes, and some of the men and women who work on it will describe what they are doing.

Arthur Benjamin was born in Sydney in 1893 and won an open scholarship to the Royal College of Music, London. He is equally well known as a pianist and a composer and first appeared on the concert platform at Queen's Hall in 1925, under Sir Henry Wood. His compositions include the opera The Devil Take Her, and a Violin Concerto that has been played by both Albert Sammons and Louis Godowsky. He has also proved himself an original composer of film music, and among his successes is the music to Wings of the Morning. Arthur Benjamin 's ' Overture to an Italian Comedy' was first performed at a recent Patron's Fund Concert at the Royal College of Music. It was written as an overture to his opera Prima Donna , which has not yet been produced.
