GERALDO AND HIS ORCHESTRA
(By permission of the Savoy Hotel, Ltd.) with WEBSTER BOOTH
ANGELA PARSELLES
THE GERALDETTES and THE TOPHATTERS
This evening Geraldo, who has won fame for his ' Dancing Through ' and ' Chateau de Madrid ', is to give the first of three broadcasts under this title. Much as Frank Black did in 'Five Hours Back Geraldo aims at showing what good melodies lie hidden in the modern dance tune, usually sacrificed to the accentuation of the dance rhythm. In these shows listeners will hear how a large orchestra such as Geraldo can convert the slightly monotonous native rhythm of a dance tune into the big sweeping phrases of a symphony.
