and THE GRAND HOTEL,
EASTBOURNE, ORCHESTRA
DALE SMITH (baritone)
At the pianoforte, SYDNEY FFOULKES
Relayed from
The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne (Soloist, LESLIE JEFFRIES> )
From month to month these popular relays from the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne, are eagerly awaited-the music is so good, and always so jolly ; always a good singer ; always the violin solos played with -the sure touch and fine technique of Leslie Jeffries. So sweet is the fone of his fiddle that he receives inquiries from violin makers and connoisseurs from all over the country as to the make and date of it, and invariably they believe it to be an old Italian violin. To this he always replies with pride that it is English, made in 1927, in the West End of London.
Listeners will note that of the solos down for tonight, one is the evir popular ' Hungarian Czardas ' by Monti ; and, running down the programme, they will come to a waltz rhapsody, ' Carissima '. This is a new composition by Herman Lohr , who has written it especially for Leslie Jeffries. It is to have its first broadcast tonight, and listeners who remember ' Little Grey Home in the West' will look forward to hearing a new piece by this master of melody.
