Adele, maid of. Baroness Eisenstein, receives permission to visit her sister, Ida, a ballet dancer, who is to be present at a ball given by Prince Orlofsky, a Russian millionaire. After she is gone, Dr. Falke, a Notary, who has arranged the ball, calls on Baron Eisenstein, and induces him to go to the ball before going to -gaol, to which he has been sentenced for contempt of court. The purpose of the Doctor is to

seek revenge for his shabby treatment some time before at a masked ball, which they had both attended, when Eisenstein had gone dressed as a Butterfly, and Falke aS a Bat. The Doctor then notifies the Baroness that her husband has gone to the ball, and invites her to. be present, disguised. An amusing scene occurs when the Baron seeks to pass himself off as a French marquis, and flirts in turn with his maid and his disguised wife. There are further complications caused by Falke, who manages to have Alfred, the Singing Master, in the Baroness'’s apartments when the police call for the Baron. Alfred is consequently arrested as thé Baron. In the last hilarious ‘act, however, all complications are disentangled and everything ends happily. 10. 0 Close of normal programme.

In South Africa Near the end of last year South African radio services’ transmitted for the first time in their history to 250,000 licence holders. New Zealand is within reach of totalling almost 100,000 more than this. Political differences in South Africa are causing worry to radio authorities. The " Johannesburg Star" reports controversy about religious broadcasts. It says that consideration should be given to the question "whether in the present divided state of feeling in the country it is expedient that the radio be put at the disposal even of selected preachers."
