MIRIAM LICETTE (Soprano)
THE WIRELESS ORCHESTRA
Conducted by STANFORD ROBINSON
THIS is sung in the second act of The Magic
Flute by Pamina. Tamino and she, it will be remembered, have to undergo severe trials of their steadfast faith, before they are allowed to be affianced, and possibly the hardest test for young people in love was that Tamino was pledged to silence. Here he has just had to pass Pamina by withouttspeaking, and in despair she sings, ' Ah, I knew it, none had need to warn me, Tamino loves me not.'

S.B. from Manchester

Few men have achieved such a record in the field of medical mission work as 'Grenfell of Labrador.' A Rugby Blue at Oxford and a brilliant doctor, he has spent his life in the frozen seas and desolate lands of the far North. He began by taking out to Iceland the first hospital ship for the North Sea fisheries, and in 1892 he began his long term in Labrador, where he finally established four hospitals, a series of co-operative stores, an orphanage and a school. In 1912 he opened a Seaman's Institute in St. John's, Newfoundland, with money that he himself had raised. He has been honoured by the learned societies of two continents, and written several exceptionally interesting books.
