Bom in 1840 at Konigsberg, Goetz lived, like Mozart and Purcell, for only thirty-six years. He died just when he showed every promise of taking a place among the foremost composers of nineteenth-century Germany. Two years before he died he was rescued from a life of ill-health and poverty by the production of his opera, The Taming of the Shrew, in 1874. Four years later it was performed at Drury Lane with such success that, according to a contemporary writer, ' enquiries were at once set on foot concerning other things from the same gifted pen '.

'Oxford and Cambridge Sports at the White City'
A Sound Picture constructed from a Running Commentary by H. M. ABRAHAMS
Harold Abrahams is a barrister who is in his 'thirties. He is also, of course, one of the greatest athletes of the postWar years. In 1922 he was President of the Athletic Club at Cambridge; and he has represented Great Britain in the Olympic Games. One of his greatest achievements was in 1924. at the Olympic Games in Paris when, with that long raking stride that was a tharacteristic of his, he beat the finest Vprinters in the world in the 100 metres final. His time for this race was IO3/5 seconds.

Singers return to Music-Hall after an absence of only two months. Sam, of course, is among the most popular of radio singers, and with Elsie Carlisle , was one of the great features of Ambrose's Band. They sang together last year at Radiolympia.
Billy Bennett has just returned from tour in the revue King Folly in which he was principal comedian. He is shortly to be seen in the film Soft Lights and Sweet Music with Ambrose and his
Band.
Harry Shalson has written over 200 songs and has been singing on records and on the halls for the past eight years. He did many Variety broadcasts at the old Savoy Hill studio. His partner, Noel ' Chappie ' D'Amato, was for ten years leader with Jack Hylton 's Band and first vocalist on Hylton records. He was for eighteen months at the Dorchester Hotel.
Lily Morris is well-known to Music-
Hall listeners. She broadcast in the Royal Command Performance of 1928. She is the very essence of the halls and possesses, by the way, a pair of ear-rings once worn by Sarah Siddons.
The double act of Abe and Mawruss is one of John Sharman 's inspirations. Each is a former star of Hebrew humour. Sharman has brought them together and they are to give their first broadcast tonight.
