Among the guests is a. poet, Andrea Chenier, who has revolution- | ary tendencies. Madaleine, the Countess’ daughter, and Chenier have fallen deeply in love with each other, but when Madaleine asks him to improvise a poem on love he sings instead of the wrongs of the poor. Gerard, one of the servants, who is also in love with Madaleine, appears leading a crowd of ragged men and women, but at the Countess’s command the intruders are ejected. The Revolution breaks out and several years later Chenier, who has denounced Robespierre, is a hunted man in Paris. Rucher, one of his friends, has secured a passport out of the country for him, and is urging Chenier to fly at oncé, when Madaleine enters the café and begs Chenier to aid her against the spies who are dogging her. Chenier defends her against Gerard, saree 3 he wounds, and the lovers escape. ater Chenier is captured and brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal. Madaleine pleads for her lover, finally promising to give herself to Gerard if Chenier is spared. Gerard agrees, and at the trial declares that the indictment against Chenier is false, but the mob, thirsting for blood, demands the poet’s death. Late that night Madaleine, having bribed the gaoler to allow her to exchange places with a woman prisoner, enters the prison with Gerard and greets her lover. If she cannot live for her lover she can at least die with him, and together they go to the scaffold. 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 "Andrea Chenier" (continued) 10.49 Close of normal programme 11.0 NEWS FROM LONDON, followed by meditation music 11.30 CLOSE DOWN : 2. 3.
