NOTES The prison scene in Verdi’s “H Trovatore,” one of the finest gems of opera, will be broadcast from IYA to-night. In this scene there is one of the greatest duets ever written, “Home to Our Moun - tains,” where the fierce and revengeful old gipsy, in her hour of death, thinks of the mountains where she brought up Manrico, and would fain fly back to that peaceful retreat. Madame Irane takes the part of Azucena, the gipsv, Mrs. Parry the part of Leonora, and Mr. Robert Peter that of Manrico. The usual transmission from 3LO‘f short-wave station, 3MM, was received well m Devonport yesterday morning. A nne programme was broadcast. On af ternoon the transmission from 2XAF was very weak, and could nor. be heard plainly.
