Reed as fiddler, to the creator of the ' second Mrs. Tanqueray ', who recited at a series of matinees throughout the country. Sir Henry Wood brought her out at the Proms as a little girl of fifteen.

There is hardly a page of the whole score of Smetana's opera The Bartered Bride that is not unmistakably Czech in flavour. The polka is a dance of Czech origin-not Viennese, as people often imagine ; legend says that it was invented by a Czech servant-girl, or evolved by her from some folk dance, about a hundred years ago. In Smetana's time, therefore, the dance was still comparatively modern. (The Bartered Bride was produced in 1866.) The other two dances are equally characteristic and colourful-the ' furiant ' being as lively as its name implies.

Dorothy Hildreth began her musical career as something of a prodigy. Born in 1910 she commenced to play the piano at the age of four, but did not learn to read music until she was twelve. She then had six years with Hermann Klass , during which time she appeared several times before the microphone at 2LO. In 1930, Miss Hildreth had some lessons from Pouishnoff, but has since worked alone. She has specialised in the music of Liszt, Chopin. and contemporary composers.
