...Mozart anniversary concert. All but one of the works paled beside the Haydn Mass, but worth hearing anyway. Fleet performances by Laurence Berman and Richard Friedberg of two four-hand piano works, almost as much fun to listen to as to play. Group of pieces by vocal nonet: opening canon pretty insecure, but singers got better as they went along, and the motet Ave Verum came off very well.

A newspaper poll of 100 Anglican clergymen revealed that 85 would refuse to officiate at the proposed marriage, 13 would be willing to marry the pair, two were undecided. One outspoken churchman, Canon Charles Kirkland of Canterbury, told an audience of mothers last week that the Princess "contemplates doing something which is deliberately an affront both to religion and the church."
