and THE PARK LANE HOTEL ORCHESTRA
From THE PARK LANE HOTEL
OLIVE GROVES (Soprano) fpHE youthful Albert Sandler ' (he was born in 1906) has long been one of the most popular artists on the lighter side of broadcast music. He began his musical career at the age of twelve, playing in a cinema orchestra every evening after leaving school. He won a scholarship at the Guildhall School of Music and, after two years' study, became leader of various of the orchestras employed by Messrs. Lyons. He continued to study with the late Hans Wessely , and later with Kalman Ronay , nephew of Professor Auer. First came into prominence as a broadcaster when he took over control of the orchestra at the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne, from which he was the first violinist to broadcast. In 1928 he left Eastbourne for the Park Lane Hotel, and his place was taken by the popular Tom Jones. He is at present engaged on a tour of the provinces with his Trio, but regularly returns on at least one Sunday each month to broadcast from the Park Lane.
