Keen filmgoers, as well as many other listeners,
will be interested to know that for this programme Reginald Burston has
persuaded the producers and Jack Hylton to release the original scores of the
new Band Waggon film, and Alexander Korda has released the original score of the
incidental music for The Four Feathers.
Another point of
interest about the production is that Evelyn Dall , the popular dance-band
vocalist, is entering a new field, so far as sound broadcasting is concerned.

The pot-pourri of hits from famous English musical shows is well established as a popular broadcasting item. Little, so far, however, has been heard of the theatre music of France, to which the whole of tonight's programme will be devoted.
Some French theatre composers, such as
Offenbach, Messager, Lecocq, and Planquette are well known over here, but it is
not only with these that the programme will be concerned. The operettas of
Renaldo Hahn , for example, are little known over here. Likewise those of Louis
Ganne. These two composers have reputations in this country as a song-writer
and an orchestral composer respectively. The songs, by the way, will all be
sung in English.

A
light opera in three acts, abridged and adapted for broadcasting
Libretto
by A. P. Herbert. Music by Thomas F. Dunhill
BBC
Theatre Chorus, BBC Theatre Orchestra (leader Tate Gilder )
Conductor,
Stanford Robinson
Produced
by.Gordon McConnel, with the musical collaboration of Gwen Williams.
This
light opera in three acts was produced by Sir Nigel Playfair at the Lyric
Theatre, Hammersmith, on January 16, 1931. It proved one of the most successful
productions of his management, and the box-office receipts broke all records
for that theatre. After a run of several months it was transferred to the New
Theatre in the West End, where it flourished far into the summer months, and
afterwards it went on tour to the principal towns in England and Scotland with
great success.
The
music of Tantivy Towers is continuous
; there is no spoken dialogue. Although it is a real comic opera, and full of
wit and satirical humour, the subject has its serious side, and some of the
incidents are very dramatic. The treatment, however, is light throughout, and
the theme of the work, stated briefly, is the conflict between the artistic set
and the county set. The author of the libretto, it may be said, is quite
conscious of the shortcomings of both. The cutting of the score for this
production has been carried out by the composer himself.

There
are several reasons for the traditional popularity of Messiah in the North: first, the choruses offer a unique blend of
opportunities for great team-work and, in the many magnificent runs and
crescendos, for showing off. Secondly, from the religious point of view the
plain-spoken chapel-going North welcomes, perhaps subconsciously, the
Protestant theology of the oratorio, the familiar words of which are all taken
direct from the Bible. Thirdly, the North likes it because it knows it so well
and so thoroughly just in the same way that many thousands of people like
Gilbert and Sullivan. It is said that familiarity breeds contempt, but it is
impossible for anyone to have contempt for such a masterpiece as Messiah.
Part
2 of Messiah will be broadcast next

Company in 1923 and stayed with them for four years. He then settled in London,
where he made a name for himself in leading stage roles and also in big musical
