Philip Martell became a fully-fledged orchestral player at the age of fourteen, when he played the violin in the Hackney Pavilion orchestra. Two years later he got his first job as a band leader. During this time he was studying at the Guildhall School of Music, to which he won a scholarship at the age of eleven. Martell played for the Gaumont-British circuit for some three years, and in 1936 formed the Forum Orchestra.
He started broadcasting with the Forum Band in April, 1937. After touring the provincial theatres of Associated British Cinemas, he spent three months with Gaumont-British in London,' subsequently joining the London Hippodrome as conductor of its orchestra. He is at present conducting for Black and Blue.

Anthony Bernard , who has been Director of Music at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford-on-Avon, since 1932, gave many concerts at Savoy Hill during the early days of broadcasting with his London Chamber Orchestra, which he founded in 1921. He studied with Leonard Borwick , John Ireland, and Sir Granville Bantock , and was in charge of the orchestral and conducting classes at the Royal College of Music in 1924-25. In the same year he was also associated with the British National Opera Company.
with The Moldavian Singers (All arrangements by Michaeloff)
Michaeloff was bom in Mohilev, Pod, which is only a short journey by boat across the estuary to the capital of Bessarabia. As a boy he used to go there and hear the Bessarabian tunes which he plays today. He heard them played in the peasant style and that is why he calls his orchestra the Bessarabian orchestra.
Michaeloff arranged all the music for Evening in Budapest, which was broadcast two years ago. The number he specially wrote for this show and called ' Night of Love in Budapest' became very popular when it was published under the title of ' Gypsy, play your serenade '. It was broadcast and played all over the world. He arranged some of the numbers in Balalaika, including a symphonic arrangement.

Sonata in B minor, Op. 58
1 Allegro maestoso. 2 Scherzo:
Molto vivace. 3 Largo. 4 Finale: Presto ma non tanto played by Cyril Smith (pianoforte)
On January 5, 1845, the Paris Gazette musicale announced that ' Chopin has returned to Paris and brought with him a new grand Sonata, and variantes. These two important works will soon be published '. What the ' variantes' were, nobody knows, but the ' grand Sonata ' was the B minor published in the following June, five years after the ' Funeral March ' Sonata.
Like its predecessor it is full of magnificent music. It is not, however, an organic whole, but it consists of four very fine parts. The scherzo is delightful, the slow movement being one of Chopin's loveliest nocturnes.

An appeal on behalf of THE CLERGY WIDOWS' FUND by CHRISTOPHER STONE ,
D.S.O., M.C.
The devoted work of the wives of the clergy, whether in lonely country or thickly populated slum parish, is not generally realised. They help the poor, comfort the bereaved, and minister to the sick ; their service is given unobtrusively, with no thought of reward save the satisfaction of bringing relief to suffering humanity.
When they are themselves bereaved most of them are left without the means of living, for very few Of the clergy are able to make provision for their families. Usually too old to start life again in some other sphere, they must apply to charity for their very existence.
The Clergy Widows' Fund has been established under the Clergy Pensions (Widows and Dependants) Measure, 1936. The Church of England Pensions Board is the statutory pensions authority of the Church of England.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Christopher Stone , Esq., [address removed].

or ' A Tragedy Rehearsed '
By Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Adapted for broadcasting by Hugh Stewart. Produced by Barbara
Burnham
Characters
Players in the Tragedy
Scene, London: Dangle's House, and Drury Lane Theatre
Time, About 1779
The Critic was first produced at Drury Lane Theatre in 1779. At that time Sheridan was manager of Drury Lane, and at the height of his career as playwright and theatrical manager. His insight into the theatrical conditions, foibles, prejudices, and sycophancy of those times was remarkable, and those who hear this broadcast version of his famous play will surely agree that there is not so much to choose between the theatrical tradition and atmosphere of today and that of the late eighteenth century.
