On the inside back page - list of Wednesday and Thursday concerts for the remainder of the season.
Inside the programme booklet was inserted a sheet entitled "Professor Tovey in America"giving reviews of two concerts given by Professor Tovey in New York in October 1926.
This concert was presented on a Wednesday evening rather than the usual Thursday evening as the first Thursday of the season was Armistice Day and the Usher Hall was consequently reserved on that date for the use of the British Legion.
