From THE QUEEN’S HALL
(Sole Lessees, Messrs. Chappell and Co., Ltd.)
TODAY marks an innovation in Sunday broadcasting. It is the first occasion on which a musical programme, indeed any programme, has been timed to begin soon after noon on Sunday. The inauguration takes place, appropriately enough, at the Queen's Hall organ, that nob]e instrument familiar alike to countless Symphony Concert goers and Promenaders. Musical history of the first importance has for nearly forty years been made at Queen's Hall. It was opened in December, 1893, with a performance of Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise, and two years later the first of the Promenade Concert seasons was given.
