Rita Clare (soprano)
Dunstan Hart (baritone)
Rita Clare , who has just returned from a three months' tour as leading lady in Schubert's Lilac Time, has a soprano voice of unusual quality. She comes of a musical family. Her grandmother was a distinguished amateur singer and harpist, and her mother a well-known figure in West Country oratorio and opera.
Rita Clare sang in public at the age of eleven and, after leaving school in England, went to Lausanne and thereafter to Florence, where she studied the piano. Returning to London she won a scholarship at the Royal College of Music and returned to Italy where she continued to study under the great Italian teacher Zaira Falchi. She first appeared in Bitter Street, and first broadcast when she was with the Royal Carl Rosa Opera Company shortly afterwards.
Rita Clare was at the Royal
College of Music at the same time as her co-broadcaster, Dunstan Hart. He has had a long musical career, obtaining his first theatrical engagement while still a student, and thereafter playing in a number of musical shows such as The Beggar's Opera and The Duenna. He later toured South Africa and Australia. He first broadcast from Savoy Hill, and has also been heard on the air from radio stations in Johannesburg and Barcelona.

Aileen Bransden , one of the most accomplished women organ players in the country, first played the organ in public at the City Temple when she was fourteen years of age, and became assistant organist there when only sixteen. A year later she was playing in Queen's Hall concerts and also at the Royal Albert Hall.
It was always, she tells us, her ambition to play the organ. She studied with Dr. H. H. L. Middleton and Mr. Allan Brown , F.R.C.O., then organist of the City Temple, and in a very short time obtained her first appointment. Subsequently she became organist at Hanover Congregational Church, Peckham, and afterwards organist and choirmaster at Muswell Hill Congregational Church. She is heard frequently on the air, and has been broadcasting since 1924.
