DOROTHEA HELMRICH (mezzosoprano)
Ernst von Dohnanyi, composer, pianist, and conductor of the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra, occupies a distinguished place in Hungarian music. But like Rachmaninov, he belongs to the old order rather than the new, that is to say, his technique is firmly based on nineteenth-century romantic principles.
Nevertheless, Dohnanyi's treatment of classical forms is stamped with strong individuality : ' In his compositions ', says Sir Donald Tovey , ' we have art in which the form arises organically from the matter. We also have mastery, describable in academic terms and traceable beyond anything that academics have codified ... Dohnanyi's own work shapes iiself without interference or inhibition from external pressure. The things that have influenced it are such as make for freedom that comes from mastery, though this does not mean that Dohnanyi has been influenced only by perfect works of art. Mastery in the Sonata forms and style is nowadays attributed automatically to the influence of Brahms, and Dohnanyi unquestionably owes much of his intimate knowledge to Brahms's work, and also to some considerable acquaintance with Brahms himself. Passages in Dohnanyi's ripest works can still be traced to an otigin in Brahms'.
The String Quartet No. 2 in D flat is one of Dohnanyi's finest -vorks and in form it is a remarkable fusion of the classical sonata style with the more modern symphonic style, of which Sibelius is such a master.

An Appeal on behalf of THE VARIETY ARTISTES LADIES' GUILD by ELSIE CARLISLE
The Variety Artistes Ladies' Guild was founded in September, 1906, by a few ladies of the Variety profession, and has carried on its benevolent work for the past twenty-eight years. It has helped a large number of variety and circus artists and their families with monetary grants and clothing, has provided them with doctors and nurses, and has been, and still is, the only charity for the orphans of this branch of the profession. Recently a new wing was added to their Gracie Fields Orphanage at Peacehaven, and many more children will shortly be admitted. The Guild, therefore, needs further funds to carry on this good work. Expenses in connection with this charity are practically nil, nearly every penny sent in is used for the charity.
Variety artists are always the first to help others, and this is their own charity for members of their profession who are down on their luck. Listeners will remember the hours of entertainment and laughter that the entertainment world has given them when they hear the appeal to be made by Miss Elsie Carlisle this evening.
