E. M. Stephan
'I come from Brittany, two of my uncles were farmers, and when I was a boy one of my great joys was to spend a few days at one of my uncles' farms.'
So that great broadcaster, Emile Marie Stephan, will tell you, and when you listen to his talk you will not doubt that he knows what he is talking about. You will get a very good idea of what the Breton farmer grows and how he lives. You will hear all about the big wheat-growing region called Beauce, between Paris and the Loire... And, more, you will be able to tell your friends and uncles and aunts the big difference between French farmers and English farmers, and between Britain and France.
The hedgeless fields, the small farmers who own and work their own land, the endless vineyards in the south round Bordeaux - you will be able to see them almost, and the one thing that will remain will be a wish to see them actually, as Monsieur Stephan in his talk has described them to you.

The grimly tragic story of Tosca, founded on Sardou's drama, is one of Rome in the days of the first Napoleonic Wars. Cavaradossi, an artist in love with Tosca, a celebrated singer, has befriended Angelotti, a revolutionary, and has got into the toils of Scarpia, Chief of Police.

In Act 2 Cavaradossi, who has been captured, is brought into Scarpia's dining-room for cross-examination, but as he denies everything he is taken to the adjacent torture-chamber. Upon her arrival Tosca, too, remains adamant to all Scarpia's questions until, hearing Cavaradossi's cries, she reveals Angelotti's hiding-place. Having gained his point, Scarpia tells her that as her lover is an accomplice he must be shot. He offers Tosca the alternative of his instant death or her own dishonour. She decides on the latter, but he must write a pass enabling Cavaradossi and herself to leave the country. Scarpia orders a mock execution and writes out the pass. As he approaches to embrace her, Tosca stabs him. Taking the passport from his hands, she hastens to the prison.

Act 3: The parapet of the Castle of Sant'Angelo
In Act 3 Cavaradossi is seen writing a letter of farewell on the battlements of Sant'Angelo prison. He soliloquises over the past. Tosca comes to explain that dummy bullets are to be used for the execution. The firing party take up their positions. Cavaradossi falls. Tosca gives the signal for him to get up, but the execution is a real one. Guards rush up to arrest Tosca for the murder of Scarpia. She pushes them aside and throws herself over the parapet.
