and his Apache Band with Clare Francis
Like so many other exponents of light music, Lionel Falkman had a classical training. His parents made sacrifices so that he could study the violin under Leopold Auer and Kalman Ronay , and at the age of seventeen he was musician enough to play among the first violins in the New Symphony Orchestra under Landon Ronald and in the Royal Philharmonic .
Orchestra .His Apache Band specialises in the music typical of the Montmartre of happier days.

London Symphony Orchestra
Leader, George Stratton
Conducted by Sir Henry Wood
From the Royal Albert Hall, London
Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G minor was written at Salzburg in 1773 or 1774 and is usually known as the ' little' G minor to distinguish it from the 'great' G minor (K.550), which was one of the last symphonies that Mozart wrote. Symphony No. 25 is scored for a modest orchestra consisting of two oboes, four horns, and strings, though the second pair of horns is replaced by two bassoons in the second movement and. the trio of the third.
Brahms's Fourth Symphony.
Despite the fact that Brahms four symphonies differ from each other both in emotional impulse and in various details of design, they are aesthetically of equal importance and belong to a symphonic style that may be described as romantic thought cast in a classical mould.
The Symphony No. 4, in E minor, is as lyrical and romantic in expression as most contemporary music of the time. But whereas so many of Brahms's contemporaries relied a great deal on a resplendent use of orchestral colouring, Brahms allows the effect of his music to depend on its actual content and not upon its dressing.

The Faithful Heart was produced by Leon M. Lion in joint management with the author at the Comedy Theatre on November 16, 1931.
It tells how one Waverley Ango , sailor-turned-soldier, promoted to Colonel in the last war, had to choose between worldly success and a memory he had forgotten: a memory that floods up and comes alive in the person of his own daughter-her mother long dead, the girl who had loved him too easily twenty years before. As captain of a tramp steamer, he sets sail with Blacky the second, to work out the lesson, as he sees it, of the Great War-to do the inexplicable thing because one knows it is right.
