Leader, Alfred Cave
Conducted by Reginald Burston
In the original version of Gounod's Faust produced in Paris at the Theatre Lyrique, the only ballet tvas in the ' Kermesse' scene of the Second Act. Ten years later the composer revised the work for production at the Grand Opera, and the tradition of that theatre demanded something more elaborate in the way of ballet. The two authors of the libretto accordingly raided the second part of Goethe's Faust, untouched for Gounod's original opera, and made use of the revels" of the Walpurgis night. There, in Goethe's play and in this revised version of Gounod's opera, Faust meets many of the famous women of old: Cleopatra, Helen, the Trojan Women, and other personages of myth and legend.'

The Highlands and Islands
Advice by Compton Mackenzie
Compton Mackenzie , the well-known author, has a penchant for islands, for living on them and talking about them. In July, 1928, he gave two broadcast talks — ' The Enchanted Islands', ', and ' Siamese Cats and some Islands ' ; in the following year ' A Holiday in the Channel Islands'; and in October, 1936, a talk on ' Living off the Map '. His home is now in the Island of Barra, in the Outer Hebrides.
Those who are contemplating a visit to the Highlands and especially to the Outer Hebrides should make a point of listening to his talk tonight.
