Mary and Patricia Mannock
Two English girls, sisters, set out from Munich with the equivalent of a few shillings in their pockets to cycle three thousand miles. They visited Italy, Austria, and France, seldom making up their minds where their next resting place would be. They will describe how happily they lived during their travels, sometimes on as little as fivepence a day.

The unveiling of a portrait of the late Harry Plunket Greene by Ben Davies
Speeches by Sir Percy Buck , Mus.Doc. and Steuart Wilson from Queen's
Hall Britain has produced few great singers of German Lieder. The three outstanding examples, however, are Plunket Greene , John Coates , and John McCormack. Harry Plunket Greene, who was born in County Wicklow in 1865 and died in London on August 19, 1936, studied in Stuttgart, Florence, and London, and made his debut in The Messiah at the People's Palace in 1888. Not only was he a fine Lieder singer, but he also appeared with success in opera and oratorio, and specialised in the singing of English folk song. The distinctive features of his style were his beauty of diction and great powers of interpretation.
