London Philharmonic Orchestra
Conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham
played by Mantovani and his Dance Orchestra
Mantovani, who is English in spite of his Italian name, has been broadcasting for many years now. At eighteen years of age he was leader of the Salon Orchestra at the Metropole Hotel, London, and broadcast from there for six years. He left the Metropole to form his own band at the Monseigneur Restaurant, Piccadilly, and it was thus that his Tipica Orchestra came into being. He so called it because whatever the nationality of the music played it always sounded typical of the country of its origin.

presents Joe Marsala, the Clarinet King of the Hickory House
A gramophone programme, presented by James Cross
Joe Marsala has certainly earned his title of 'Clarinet King', for there are few who equal his virtuosity on this instrument. He began life as a Chicago truck driver with music as a spare-time hobby, but he was soon 'swinging it' full-time, both at Hickory House and in a jam group at that well-known New York resort, 'The Famous Door'. He was at one time a member of the Delta Four.
