S.B.to " 5XX."Dialogue written by GEORGE STONE.
Arranged and Produced by WILLIAM R. KEENE and GEORGE STONE.
This evening we shall endeavour to bring to life various well-known paintings, and to add to the interest, it would be well for Listeners previously to make themselves acquainted with the paintings, and on the evening to lower their lights.
"CLAUDE DUVAL ," By W. P. Frith , R . A.
This painting is of a hold-up by the famous highwayman, and his invitation to the young .and beautiful girl to descend from the coach and dance with him to the tune played by one of his masked gang on a flute. This "Picture" begins earlier, and gives the departure from the Inn.
A HOPELESS DAWN,"
By Frank Bramley , R. A.
This painting depicts the close of two fisher folks' lonely all-night vigil for a dearly-loved one who will never return. We begin our " Picture " at the closing stage. and the driving rain and wind and muffled tumult of the sea form the background to this sad little tragedy.
"ON A FARM IN KENT,"
By 7'. Sidney Cooper , R.A.
This painting depicts a typical farm-yard scene. Our "Picture " enlarges somewhat, on the painting, but the main impressions are peace and happiness.
"ANNO DOMINI-THE FLIGHT INTO
EGYPT,"
By Edwin Long , R.A.
This painting depicts the Holy Mother seated on a donkey with the infant Jesus in her arms and Joseph walking by their side. They are passing a great procession which is taking place in honour of the Egyptian Goddess Isis, and her son Horus, whose images are being borne aloft through crowds of worshippers. In the foreground arc the sellers of idols, charms and necklets-the whole forming a strikingly dramatic contrast. We begin our "Picture" before the arrival of the Holy Family, and with the procession, in the distance.
The Orchestra will provide
Musical Interludes.

S.B. from London.About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
