Arturo Toscanini (Sat. 10 p. m. NBC-Blue) conducts NBC Symphony in Ludwig van Beethoven's Eroica Symphony, Richard Wagner's Rienzi Overture, Siegfried's Death and Funeral March from Götterdämmerung...
...thoroughly orthodox program of works by Berlioz, Mozart, and Dvorak. Frankly, the program sounds like a Sunday evening Pops concert; certainly, it shows little of the customary interest for which Koussevitzky as a program builder, has become justly famous. Recalling with extreme satisfaction the magnificent reading of Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony which began last season's concerts, the Symphony in E minor, "From the New World" by Dvorak, is something of a letdown.

...Joseph Smith, the gardener, on his one big day. Having won second prize (a disappointment) at the Flower Show, and dined later (a rare treat) with an eminent horticulturist; having afterward heard, for the first time in his life, great music, in the form of Beethoven's Eroica symphony, he returns very tired, belatedly, to the almost deserted castle of Wotton Vanborough. There still further surprises await him. A search for a suspected rat-nest leads him into a series of secret passageways. He emerges from these to confront an antique statue, glitteringly gilded; the statue falls, bursts open...
