This Quintet first came to the microphone last August. Conducted by Frank Biffo himself, the instrumentalists form an extraordinary combination. There are two trumpets played by George Chappell and Eric Todd; two trombones played by Mangan Stanley Wilson; and a pianist, Guy Detcher. Biffo, who is a trumpet player, was a member of the original Savoy Orpheans, famous in the early days of broadcasting. At the moment, he is the conductor of a dance band at Tussaud's Restaurant in London.

Adventure has always called Robert Loraine. He had no sooner established himself on the English stage than he went to South Africa to serve in the Boer War. He made his first appearance in New York in 1901, and has gone back there, off and on, ever since.
In 1905 began the series of successes in London, establishing him as one of our finest actors in plays varying from Shaw to Sheridan, and he opened in management at the Criterion in 1911 with a revival of Man and Superman.
At the outbreak of war he joined the Royal Flying Corps, and won the M.C. for conspicuous gallantry and skill.
In 1919 he created the part of Cyrano de Bergerac which he was to give on the air in 1927. Listeners will remember his broadcasts in Lord Jim and R.U.R. Dickens - especially Dickens on the air - is no stranger to him; in December, 1926, he gave a reading of 'A Christmas Carol'.

' Brahms '
Dame ETHEL SMYTH , D.B.E.
In 1877 Dame Ethel Smyth studied for a short time at the Leipzig Conservatorium and then privately with Heinrich von Herzogenburg, a friend of Brahms. The nrst time Dame Ethel met the great composer himself was in t878 when Brahms came to Leipzig to conduct his new D major Symphony. Although a great admirer of Brahms the composer, Dame Ethel was not a blind worshipper of Brahms the man. Up to a certain point it was a c)ash of two strong personalties, particularly as regards their attitude towards women. On the one hand, there was Brahms who had tittte time for women except in their proper sphere (according to the nineteenth century idea), while on the other, there was Dame Ethel with her pronounced feminist views. Dame Ethel has already written much about her recollections of Brahms, and this talk should prove another valuable and lively contribution to our knowledge of the great composer's personality.
