Cast

2—' The Town and the Region '
F. G. Thomas
This evening the question of the small town in a rural district and its relation to the economic, social, and religious life of the surrounding countryside will come up for examination. There is an ideal size for such towns if they are to be effective social units in the type of district where they are situated. The functions of such bodies as the Urban
District Council and the Rural
District Council, as units of government, will also be discussed.
Twenty-four hours in the life of a city
Written and produced by Laurence Gilliam and Robert Kemp
Text based on a scenario by Andre Beucler
Music specially composed and conducted by Maurice Jaubert
The BBC Theatre Orchestra
Leader, Tate Gilder
Recordings by BBC Mobile Recording Unit
A short time ago producers Gilliam and Kemp visited Paris with a BBC recording car and collected what promises to be a feature programme of exceptional interest.
The programme will present a radio picture of Paris from the moment when the sun rises over Les Halles, almost to the moment when it rises again over the tarnished Bals Musees of the Rue de Lappe. From scene to scene of twenty-four Paris hours the programme will shift in a medley of contrast.
From the Lycée Carnot to the music of the Garde Républicaine, from the clamour of the Bourse to a fashionable dress show, from a gourmet's restaurant to the noises of children playing in the Luxembourg Gardens, from the boulevard cafe crowded at aperitif time to the fashionable cabaret and music-hall, the symphony of Paris moves in lively tempo, and this programme may be counted upon to do the same. Andre Beucler , who has written the script, knows his Paris as a true parisien.
The story of how Gilliam and Kemp put this programme together is told in an article by the former on page 9.
' The Voice of Paris ' will be broadcast again on Thursday (Regional.

M. D. Calvocoressi has been recognised as the greatest living authority on Mussorgsky ever since the publication of his book on the composer in 1908. That book, written in French and since translated into both English and German, is now out of date, and musicians throughout the world look forward with keen interest to the publication of the entirely new book on Mussorgsky which Calvocoressi has recently completed.
Calvocoressi, who writes with equal facility in English and French, is also the author of books on Glinka, Liszt, ' The Principles of Musical Criticism', ' Musical Taste', and a volume of memoirs entitled ' Music and Ballet'.
An article by M. D. Calvocoressi on Mussorgsky will appear in next week's RADIO Times, to cover the broadcast of three further centenary programmes.
