Jesu, star of consolation (Macpherson) (Reprinted by permission of the Rev,

Rock of shelter in temptation,
Who dost give for our salvation Bread of everlastingness :
Where thy blessed saints before thee Kneel, and silently adore thee,
Jesu, by the Cross that bore thee, Grant us sinners to find peace.'

Popular dance music and songs on gramophone records

Conductor, Ivan Huckerby (Solo pianoforte, HARRY ENGLEMAN

London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham, Bart.: A Faust Overture (Wagner)

Orchestre de la Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire, conducted by Weingartner; solo pianoforte Emil Sauer: Concerto No. 1 in E flat in one movement (Liszt)

Boston Symphony Orchtstra, conducted by Koussevitzky: Scherzo and March from Love of Three Oranges (Prokofiev)

Emil Sauer and Felix Weingartner, each of them over seventy years of age, were pupils of Franz Liszt, and they met in Paris last December in order to make this record.
Both Weingartner and Sauer were in their 'teens when, as pupils, they sat at the feet of the great Liszt, and the performance this afternoon is a striking testimony to the success of that historic tuition. Weingartner himself is said to have been so delighted with this recording that, on hearing it, he danced a wild jig in the studio. He declared 'There are very few of us, and when we die there will be no more of us; the new generation haven't got the training, discipline, and broad experience of us old boys.'

' The Street Singer Arthur Tracy , came to this country over four years ago for a seven weeks' engagement, and has remained here ever since. In all that time he has been constantly on the halls, or filming, or recording, or broadcasting, with the exception of a recent holiday in Egypt and the South of France. He has sold over four million records in this country which he says is a record (' a pun! he adds apologetically). Tonight's is likely to be his last broadcast for some time to come, as negotiations for a Broadway operetta may soon recall him to the United States, to say nothing to a Hollywood film in the offing.
Norman Long , bom in Deal, came to London at the age of four ; joined an insurance office and ran a little staff band. In 1914 he swopped insurance for concert parties and became a member of Charles Heslop 's 'Brownies'. A youngster at the time, he served throughout the war and entertained both in England and France. While in the Army he earned the name which has stuck to him—' Teeth and Trousers '. He was one of the first entertainers to broadcast from Marconi House, in 1922, took part in the first Royal Command Performance to be broadcast, and was with Stanelli's Bachelor Party for three years.
Varney (Frank) and Butt (Teddie) will do an act called Boxing ' — a burlesque on a big tight at Wembley. Varney is the straight man, Teddie Butt the butt (as Tracy would say, another pun!).
Farr and Farland reappear as a team at the microphone tonight after an absence of two or three years. Listeners who remember them from previous days will be glad to welcome back one of the most versatile cross-talk acts in the country.
Not the least attraction in this striking bill is Elsie Carlisle , who made her name with Ambrose six years ago and has remained a radio favourite ever since.

' The Seaside Bandstand '
The BBC Theatre Orchestra
Leader, Tate Gilder
Conducted by Harold Lowe wit'u F. H. Grisewood as compere
Tonight marks the peak of the first great open-air holiday of the year, and the seaside has awakened to receive thousands of visitors. There is still a bandstand on every sea-front, though it is not today the focal point of activity that once it was.
'Seaside Bandstand ' will recall the seaside atmosphere of pre-war days, and recapture some of the music that older listeners will associate with the ' Prom-prom-prom, where the brass band played tiddley-om-pom-pom!'
You will hear waltzes of Archibald Joyce and Lincke, a French overture of the type so popular in those days, a cornet solo, a Tosti ballad, a popular march of the day, and some such novelty number as ' A Policeman's Holiday or the well-known ' The Whistler and his Dog '.
F. H. Grisewood will compere the programme, giving a lucid commentary on the sort of fun that went on in the shadow of the big drum.
