THE BIRMINGHAM STUDIO ORCHESTRA
Conducted by FRANK CANTELL
AMONG the many plays of Shakespeare, for which
Sir Edward German wrote inoidontal music, was Much Alto ab?ut Nothing, produced by the late Sir George Alexander in 1898 at the St. James' Theatre. No more need be said of it than this, that it is admirably suited to the merry play, and that the dances, of which two are to be played this evening, aro- instinct with all the grace and charm which have made German's music so popular.

(From Birmingham)
Pattison's Salon Orchestra

Directed by Norris Stanley
Relayed from the Cafe Restaurant, Corporation Street

Before beginning to devote himself wholly to composition Mr. Eric Coates had a long experience as an orchestral player under the best auspices, an experience which he knows well how to turn to account in his own music. Gifted with a happy sense of melody, and a very deft and light touch, he is particularly successful in music of the more lighthearted order, and his Suite From the Countryside lives up to its title in the happiest way.
