Dorothy Hildreth began her musical career as something of a prodigy. Bom in 1910, she commenced to play the piano at the age of four, but did not learn to read music until she was twelve. Then Miss Hildreth 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 and Chopin and contemporary composers.

Trio in C, Op. 87 Brahms
I. Allegro ; 2. Andante con moto ; 3. Scherzo; 4. Finale
Brahms composed twenty-four chamber works, ranging from sonatas for clarinet and piano to string sextets, all of which are the finished products of his genius. Professor Tovey suggests that these works only represent a quarter of what Brahms composed, since the composer destroyed innumerable works that he did not consider worthy of publication.
The second of Brahms's three piano trios, in C major, was written in 1882, and therefore represents the terse, concentrated, and dramatic Brahms of his last period. The first three of the four movements are designed on a big, almost epic, scale, while the finale is concise in form and pointed in expressive qualities. Writing of the first movement, Professor Tovey says that ' the style is grandly energetic with deep shadows of mystery, the mystery of nature rather than romance

An Anthology of personal pleasures, with a commentary chosen and read by ERIC GILLETT
Here is the first of two talks by Eric Gillett , who believes that the man who enjoys books ought to be able to enjoy a prize fight or anything else. He holds the view strongly that a love of good books in the ordinary man will never be fostered by highbrow literary talks ; and there must be thousands who will agree with him.
Gillett was one of the first to give eye-witness accounts on the air of cricket or tennis. He gave several in 1027-the year he went out East. He was appointed to the Johore Professorship of English at Singapore, and broadcast a talk ' Going East' before he left. This brought him an extraordinary mail bag. AH sorts of people wrote to him to wish him luck; a colonel sent him prescriptions for malaria and snake bites.
Since his return to England he has broadcast in ' The Bookshelf series, etc. In his talk this evening he will recount episodes and incidents from comparatively modern humorous stories and books that have made him laugh.

An Appeal on behalf of THE WEST LONDON HOSPITAL by A. P. HERBERT
The West London Hospital is a General Hospital of 235 beds. Work is rapidly nearing completion on a new block adjoining the present buildings facing Hammersmith Road. The extensions include a new casualty department, pathological and bio-chemistry departments, X-ray rooms and a lecture room. Important and vitally necessary branches of the hospital's work now carried on in various out-buildings will thus the brought together in the main building, and the treatment of patients greatly facilitated.
The hospital is situated in a very busy traffic centre, and its services are in demand day and night for emergency treatment. Its work is growing with great rapidity, for it serves a wide district between Hyde
Park Corner and Windsor, and there is an increasing demand for the skilled attention which it supplies. It is now in its eightieth year and requires at least £60,000 annually to maintain its many departments, including an out-patient department where some quarter of a million attendances are made every year. Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed].
