Act 1 Dawn is creeping over the study of Dr. Faust, the philosopher, as he sits meditating.on his old age. He has been a lifelong student of research, but his inability to solve the secret of happiness causes him bitterly to regret the years he has spent in seclusion. The voices of workers outside remind him of the passions of youth that he will taste no more, and eoweed at the deadly march of time, aust declares that he would sell his soul to the Devil for renewed youth. age os. at appears and takes him at his word. In exchange for wealth and a beautiful girl called Margarita, with whom he tempts Faust in a vision, Faust pledges his soul. By Mephistopheles’ magic, Faust is transformed into a handsome young man and this makes easy his meeting with the virtuous Margarita, with whom he instantly falls in love. 8.45 NATIONAL SERVICE SESSION 9.0 NBS Newsreel: A digest of the day’s news 9.15 BBC News Commentary 9.25 Station notices 9.27 "FAUST," Acts 2, 3 and 4 Valentine, the soldier brother of Mararita, has left her in charge of Dame artha, a kind-hearted though inattentive duenna, and Faust finds it comparatively easy, under Mephistopheles’ influence, to lay his amorous claims with such ardour . that at length she yields herself completely to his desire. Returning home from the wars, Valentine quickly learns what has occurred and challenges his sister’s betrayer. But it is Mephistopheles who steps in and kills Valentine on the point of his sword. Margarita, terrifled at the catastrophe of which she is the cause, loses her reason, and then slays her child. For this she has to pay the penalty of imprisonment. Mephistopheles secures for Faust an gory, into her cell, where Faust implores er to escape with him, but honour and illness compel her to refuse his offer, She breathes a prayer of forgiveness, and overwhelmed with remorse, she dies on her rough. prison bed. Mephistopheles has claimed another victim. His victory, how-.

ever, is shortlived, for he hears a chorus of heavenly angels proclaiming Margarita’s forgiveness, and witnesses the spectacle of her spirit being borne by angels to its celestial home. 11.0 NEWS FROM LONDON, followed by meditation music 11.30 CLOSE DOWN SIVA CHRISTCHURCH 1200 k.c. 250m. 6.
