THE B.B.C. NORTHERN ORCHESTRA

(Leader, ALFRED BARKER ) 
Conductor, T. H. MORRISON 
HELEN GUEST (pianoforte)   
This Entr'acte is from an early opera, I Quatri Rusteghi , by Wolf-Ferrari, founded on a famous comedy by Goldoni. It has not been heard in England, but opera lovers in this country already know Wolf-Ferrari's delightful one-act opera Susannah's Secret, and the lurid but attractive full-length opera The Jewels of Madonna.    
The legend of the magician's apprentice was made into a ballad by Goethe. The composer has here illustrated it in music. 
An apprentice to a magician tries, in the absence of his master, to work a few spells. He tries to make the broom draw water from the river. The broom does its work well, and with such zeal that presently it begins to flood the house. The apprentice, now uneasy, tries to remember a second spell to stop the broom from drawing any more water. He cannot recall it, and, desperate, chops the broom in two. This is, apparently, the worst thing he could do, for both parts of the broom now become active water-carriers. Happily for the apprentice his master turns up before the house is completely washed away, and breaks the spell.

'Every Dog has his Day'

A Canine Cavalcade
Devised by JOYCE LUSTGARTEN and produced by AUBREY HERBERT on the Anniversary of the mediÃ¦val festival of 'Dog Whip Day'
Centuries ago, a 'dog straying through the streets of a city chanced to enter a church, and make off with a piece of the Holy Wafer. By way of revenge upon the whole tribe, the Elders of that and other cities instituted the festival of 'Dog Whip Day'. Upon each October 18 - save only in Hull, where the ceremony was observed upon October 11th - the young men ran through the streets of their city armed with whips, thrashing and cudgelling every dog they set eyes upon.
