THE COMMODORE GRAND ORCHESTRA.

Directed by Joseph Muscant
Relayed from The Commodore Theatre,
Hammersmith
Joseph Museant has now been broadcasting with his orchestra for just over ten years, :for it was in the autumn of 1923, at Manchester, that he first faced the microphone. The Commodore, from which he has for some time broadcast, is one of the best equipped of the London cinema theatres, and as Muscant is equally well-equipped, as a director of music in the film world since he was eighteen years of ago, the popularity of his broadcasts is almost explained. Add that the members of his band make a brilliantly effective team, the music they play is oxcellently arranged--often by Muscant himself-the programmes are well-constructed, the acoustic properties of the Commodore Theatre are exceptionally good, and the said popularity is adequately accounted for.
