Part-Songs by The Chelsea Singers: The Story of 'The Four Little Children (Edward Lear): Railway Dialogue— 'The Train that Goes to Sea,' by Cecil J. Allen
by REGINALD FOORT, relayed from the Kew Gallery Kinema
THE athletic world has seen several instances of freaks who seemed to retain their physical youth" long after the normal span-followers of boxing will remember that ageless phenomenon, the Dixie Kid. All of us cannot expect to be able to fight twenty rounds or row a full course at the age of fifty, but anybody with average health can keep his ordinary, practical fitness till even after that age. In his talk today. Dr. Glover will sketch out the lines on which this can be done.

The ' Keltic ' Senata Second and Third Movements
IN the. SECOND MOUVEMENT of the ' Keltic '
Sonata MacDowell dwells upon the lovely
Deirdre. He puts at the head of the Movement the direction ' with naive tenderness.' It opens with a slow melody, whose sweeping supporting chords remind us of the harpers of old who sang their ballads to their own accompaniment. The theme is somewhat developed, with rapidly-increasing emotion, until the entry of the Second Main Tune. Ever broader and more dignified becomes the music until, 'stately and sonorous,' the First Tiine returns, to (lie away extremely softly at the end.
In the LAST MOVEMENT, 'very swift and fierce,'
MacDowell suggests the scene of Cuchullin's death after being wounded in battle.

MR. BALLANTINE, the Composer of these
MR parodies, is an American Composer,, n member of the musical staff at the University of Harvard.
Parody in music is not very common. It is more difficult here than in n literary parody to avoid mere imitation of u composer's mannerisms, and to give instead a synthesis of his style, as we get it in J. C. Squire's or Owen Seaman 's parodies. The slightly broader manner of Bret Harte '.s Condensed Novels is perhaps more fitting. The effects must. almost necessarily, be clear-cut and the points quickly made.
In most of the imitations in this piece (which is published by Hawkes) the music and the titles speak for themselves.

W. S. LANDOR (1775-1864). A. H. CLOUGH (1819―1861), MATTHEW ARNOLD (1822-1888),
RUPERT BROOKE (1887-1915)
ALL the four poets from whose works Mr.
Stobart—who is Director of Education of the B.B.C., and himself an old Rugbeian—Is to read tonight were Rugby men, and it is possible to trace a common quality in their style. All of them possess a certain precision of phrase that may or may not be due to that rigorous training in classical verse-writing which was the foundation of education at Rugby School when Landor went there at the end of the eighteenth century, as in Rupert Brooke 's schooldays in the present century. Listeners will be able to judge for themselves when they have heard the extracts that Mr. Stobart will read.
