Troise, leader of his sixteen-strong almost-all-mandolin band, has probably been broadcasting as long as any light orchestra leader living.
From a position in one of the immediately post-war dance bands he soon found himself a member of the old
2LO orchestra, and has been heard over the air off and on ever since.
The Mandoliers were formed soon after the 2LO dance orchestra left the BBC, and are now one ot the most unusual little orchestras in England. The combination provided by the Mandoliers introduces the novelty of the contrasting styles and changing tone colours of the various mandolins and their attendant instruments of the same family, such as guitars and differently-pitched banjos.

Here is a characteristically strong bill, bringing back to the microphone old favourites in Will Fyffe ; Anona Winn (not heard in Music-Hall since September, 1937) ; and Haver and Lee . Adding to the fun will be
Fred Miller , King of the Grand Order of Water Rats for 1938 and, like his wife, Millie Deane , just back from pantomime in Sheffield, where they did very good business in spite of the snow. Millie Deane played Sarah, and Fred Miller Simple Simon, both servants to the Dame in Jack and the Beanstalk.
Making her first appearance in Music-Hall tonight will be that popular Variety artist Lillian Burgiss , who has had the honour of appearing in two Royal Command performances. She will sing that grand old' English ballad ' The song that reached my heart'—a song she sang before King George V and Queen Mary at the Alhambra, putting it over so well that Sir Oswald Stoll placed her at the top of the bill.

There has been an intense revival of ballet during the past few years ; many British composers have been writing works specially for the medium of ballet, and a number of these will be heard tonight in this programme.
