Whitehall has been humming with rumours for some time.past about the promised reconstruction of the Cabinet. Some of those who are in close touch with No. 10 Downing Street are convinced that fairly aweeping changes are be- ing contemplated. Others take the view that the Prime Minister's handa are too full at the moment to allow him to depart upon what would be a risky experiment at this stage of the Government's history. Nevertheless, the story persists that the Iden of rearranging posts and bringing in new blood in being seriously considered by Mr. Mac- Donald and that number of natacs are being canvassed.

Mafoss, citizens, etc.

Time: Any morning before '7 aume Just an the sun comes over the

horizon, the Battery is seen advancing. in loose formation towards the citizens' castle. A false sense of security has overnight lured the citizens into a deep sleep. Saddanty the alarm is sounded. The mafoos, at the head of their chargers, emit shrill shouts and cries, the while ad- vancing. A noticeable feature of this portion of the programme is the great clatter set up by the horses.

The citizens, now thoroughly alarm- ed, baaten to defend themselves with pen and ink. Long defensive letters are shot at the editors who, apparent. ly, are also enemies. After a while, the firing subsides.

5-MASSED BANDS Gorlowsky's “1984” Overture.

This famous overtura describes the invasion of the Moneylenders realm by Napolean Goytowaky, and his sub- sequent defeat. It opens with one of Gortonwky's aides invoking the aid of the Legislativiski Councilski to defent the Moneylenders by the passage of Ordinance, sometlines apeit Ordnance. Then follows a description of the battle, in which the melodious voice of a Councillor merges with the shrill, piping wail of the Moneylender. The Moneylenders are victorious and Napolean Govtowsky and his forces retire in disorder, abandoning their Ordinance (or Ordnance) in their retreat. Additional realism will be. given to this music by a Kelly touch of humour. Thousands of small places of paper, displaying the famous Kolly. signature, and with the Moneylenders Coat of Arms (surmounted by the mystic figures "LO.U.") will be dis tributed to the audience.
