An opera in three acts Words by Felix Wolfes Music by Hans Pfitzner
(sung in German)
Act 1
Forty-seventh of a series of reports on the Soviet point of view as expressed in the Soviet Press and broadcasts to the U.S.S.R.
Compiled by members of the BBC foreign news department
Act 2
Four illustrated talks by George Rylands
2-John Donne
Taking Donne to represent those poets who use words primarily for their meaning, George Rylands speaks of the challenge offered to anyone who reads this kind of poetry to an audience. The talk is illustrated with recordings made by John Gielgud , Anthony Quayle , and Raf de la Torre. 14
Act 3
Conducted by S. Potter
For this final lecture of retrospect and revision the Founder returns from his retirement to lead us round the Lifemanship Correspondence College itself. If the weather allows, it is hoped to eavesdrop on some L.C.C. study groups in actual session and hear again, explaining their most important gambits, demonstrators like B. Hardy , R. Simpson , G. Wincott , and D. Guyier.
Produced by D. Cleverdon
