in songs at the piano
Sam Costa was in the advertising business until they fired him for thinking more about playing the piano than selling space. An uncle put a job in his way-to take a band to Margate, in the summer of 1929. They played at Dreamland, and were all young people. Nat Temple, saxophone, is now with Harry Roy ; Maurice Burman , drums, is now with Billy Bissett ; Sam Costa played the piano and sang.
He was destined to join Jack Pad -bury's dance band, and then to broadcast with Jack Jackson , and then with Maurice Winnick , both from Ciro's and the San Marco. He has been on the air with dance bands constantly since 1931. Last summer he broadcast in a Variety programme. This afternoon, for the first time, he is on the air on his own. His songs will be of popular appeal, and he will accompany them himself.

Symphony No. 25, in G minor
(K.183)
1 Allegro con brio. 2 Andante. 3 Minuetto. 4 Finale : Allegro
Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G minor (KI83), probably written at Salzburg in 1773 or 1774, is usually known as ' the little G minor' to distinguish it from the ' great' G minor (K.550). Like the latter, and like so many of Mozart's other compositions in the same key (e.g., the Piano Quartet, K.478, and the String Quintet, KSI6), K.183 is fiery and passionate, almost tragic, in character. It is, in fact, outstanding among Mozart's earlier symphonies.
The Symphony is scored for two oboes, four horns, and strings, though the second pair of horns is replaced by two bassoons in the second movement and the trio of the third.
