Herbert Lodge began his musical career as a double-bass player. Having won a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music at an early age, he studied under Charles Winterbottom. Before long he was playing in the Covent Garden Opera Orchestra, and in 1919 he joined the London Symphony and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras. He has given double-bass recitals in London and the provinces and over the air. But, like Koussevitsky, Lodge was not content to remain a double-bassist; he aspired to the baton. Even at eighteen he was conducting an amateur operatic society ; during the War he ran a symphony orchestra of his own ; in 1929 he succeeded Bainbridge Robinson as musical director of the Margate Municipal Orchestra, which he conducted until last year.

' America '
ALISTAIR COOKE
In 1932 the now famous broadcaster, Alistair Cooke, went out to America on a Fellowship to Yale University to study the American theatre and to do research work in dramatic criticism. In his second year he studied at Harvard, and in 1933 and 1934 he was Director of the Harvard Dramatic Club and also of the celebrated Hasty Pudding Club, associated with the University. The latter club won distinction for its production of Cymbeline in modern dress and of W. H. Auden's Paid on Both Sides.
On reaching Hollywood, Cooke met Charlie Chaplin and so became interested in the American cinema. While in America, he contributed to the Theatre Arts Monthly and acted as American theatre correspondent to the London Observer.

The first broadcast service from the Islington Central Hall, one of the largest Methodist missions in North London, was heard on May 19 last year, and the second is to be heard tonight. The address will again be given by Dr. Donald Soper, minister-in-charge, whose name is known far and wide by reason of his Wednesday meetings on Tower Hill, which he has held, fair weather or foul, for over eight years. His broadcast talks ' Question Time on Tower Hill ' were memorable.
Tonight's service is the usual Sunday evening service from the Islington Central Hall, the time being altered to fit in with broadcasting. The music at the hall is directed by George Irons, and the piano accompanying the service will be played by Carl Atherton.

The Combined B B C THEATRE and VARIETY ORCHESTRAS
Led by Montague Brearley
Conductor, STANFORD ROBINSON
' Puccini, the Man and his Music ' is designed on the same lines as ' The Life of Verdi ', which was such a great success with listeners some time back. It is intended to give side-lights on the character of the man and on his methods of working. Excerpts will be sung from Madam Butterfly, Manon Lescaut , Tosca, and Turandot. The all-star cast includes two singers of international fame, one of whom is British, Eva Turner , and the other Italian, Dino Borgioli.
Eva Turner is already well known to listeners. She is one of the few British singers who have won fame abroad in opera. Born at Oldham, Miss Turner lived most of her early life in Bristol. Later she went to the Royal Academy of Music to study singing, then joined the chorus of the Carl Rosa Opera Company, became one of its principals, and finally left England for Italy, where she sang with great success at various opera houses, including La Sca la. Since that time her name has been acclaimed in every European country and in the United States. Miss Turner has been called ' the perfect Turandot '.
Dino Borgioli is equally well known.
He made his début at La Scala, Milan, during the 1918-19 season in Donizetti's Don Pasquale. Since that time he has sung at the Vienna Opera, Salzburg Festspielhaus, Chicago Opera House, New York Metropolitan Opera, Covent Garden, and at the Paris Opera. During the last season given by Melba in Australia in 1924 Borgioli sang with her in La Bohème and Faust.
