Eric Coates-the man and his music
A programme of gramophone records presented by Sam Heppner
A brilliant student of the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied the viola and composition, Eric Coates soon found himself in the front rank of players, and was for some years principal viola of the Queen's Hall Orchestra. He was a distinguished chamber-music player, too. While still a member of Queen's Hall Orchestra he had a good deal of his own orchestral music produced at the Promenade and other concerts. Since 1919 Coates has devoted himself to composition and conducting. His new march, ' 'Calling All Workers', was first broadcast at the end of August.

-Selection of Squire's songs
There can have been little doubt in the minds of Clarence Barber 's friends that he was destined for a musical career when he began playing the piano at the age of five. He took up cinema work in the early days, and also had a year or two on the stage. He came to London some twelve years ago to the New Gallery Cinema, afterwards moving to Finsbury Park, to Rochester, and then to the Gaumont, Chelsea. He has altogether been some fifteen years with the Gaumont-British Corporation.
Barber was, by the way, one of the first men to broadcast on a cinema organ, which he did from the Piccadilly Theatre, Manchester.
