Clarinet Trio in A minor played by Pat Ryan (clarinet)
Leonard Baker (cello) Albert Hardie (piano)
The last of Brahms's trios was Op. 114, in A minor, for piano, clarinet, and cello. It was the first of a group of magnificent chamber works, consisting of the Clarinet Quintet and the two Sonatas for clarinet and piano, written expressly for the celebrated clarinettist, Richard Miihlfeld , of von Billow's Meiningen Orchestra. The instrumental colouring in this trio is very fine indeed.

Singing commeres, The Three Chimes
BBC Variety Orchestra, conducted by Charles Shadwell

by Marian Bower and Leon M. Lion
Adapted for broadcasting by Cynthia Pughe
Produced by Fred O'Donovan with the BBC Repertory Company
When Leon M. Lion went into management of the New Theatre, London, in 1918, The Chinese Puzzle was the play with which he opened, and a great success it was. It has all the ingredients of diplomatic melodrama-the inscrutable Oriental; the rising young man at the Foreig'n Office ; the smart country house party, and, of course, the leakage of vital information.
Over it all broods the- smooth and philosophical Oriental, wise as Confucius himself, in the person of the celestial Marquis Chi-Lung .
