It was probably Luigi Voselli 's
Russian parentage that aroused in him his ardent admiration of Slav music-an admiration which he has fed to the full by the study of gypsy bands in Continental night clubs and cafes. Although the members of his Hungarian Orchestra are British-born they have, under his direction managed to grasp the true spirit of the Hungarian Czardas which, as listeners know, they play with a warmth and fire unsurpassed on the Voselli himself owes much of his musical success to the late Viscount Devonport, who, hearing him play at a school function at the age of twelve, became interested in the boy and thenceforward took an active part in his musical education. Soon
Voselli was studying at the Guildhall School of Music, where he gained many prizes and scholarships. After years of directing cinema orchestras, the arrival of talkies made him turn his attention to cafe and restaurant work, and about four years ago he formed his Hungarian Orchestra.

A commentary on the international
Rugby Union football match by H. B. T. Wakelam
From Twickenham
Twickenham will most certainly be crowded this afternoon for the first
international Rugby match of the season. England and Wales have so far met on fifty occasions. England has won twenty-five times, Wales nineteen, and six matches have been drawn. When they met last year at Cardiff, Wales won by 14 points to 8 in a match that was played in half a gale.
Twickenham is not a lucky ground for the Welshmen. They have beaten England there only once, and have drawn two matches on that ground. Wales and England were, incidentally, the first two international teams to play at Twickenham when the ground was opened in the 1909-10 season. (An imaginary broadcast commentary on a historic moment in that first game will be found on page 13.) Wales, it is expected, will come on the field this afternoon as slight favourites, and a keen match is anticipated between two teams each anxious to wrest from Scotland the ' triple crown' of three clear victories, which that country won last year.
