California, Roy Fox was at one time with Fox Films at Hollywood, where he
found that the similarity in names could be very embarrassing. Known as the
"Whispering Cornetist," Roy took America by storm and then decided to come
to England. Bringing six musicians with him, he founded a band and began his
British career at the Café-de Paris. Later he formed an all British
combination at the Monseigneur, and received a well merited honour when his
band was selected to appear at a Royal Command Performance. He has broadcast
regularly from both the Kit Cat and the Café de Paris

1) Solo pianoforte. Myra Hess is one of the few British pianists who have
secured an international reputation, and she is now recognised in America
and on the Continent as one of the foremost pianists in the world. Miss Hess
studied first at the Guildhall School of Music and later at the Royal
Academy of Music, where she won a scholarship, under Tobias Matthay. She
made her London debut in 1907 at Queen's Hall, where she played Beethoven's
Piano Concerto No. 4 in G. under Sir Thomas Beecham. Since that time Miss
Hess has appeared continually before the British public as a soloist in
chamber music. Her repertoire is wide and her interests catholic. One can
safely say that there is hardly a great composer, from Scarlatti to Brahms,
whose keyboard music she does not interpret with complete understanding.

3) Kenneth and George Western. The Western Brothers, the famous wireless
"cads," started their careers together. They have gone through life teaching
each other things. They taught each other to write, they taught each other
to sing and have just taught each other to fly; They wrote a revue called
"Vaudeville Vanities" as far back as 1926, and were asked to put on a turn
of some of their musical numbers at a Sunday concert at the Palladium.
There was no one to do it except themselves - and they're still going
strong. They burlesque, in their songs, anything from the government of the
day to public schools and "old school ties."
4) Best Wishes from ? Mae McKinney

7) Sincerely Ivor Moreton, Dave Kaye - Ivor Moreton and Dave Kaye (The
original 'Tiger Rag' Pianists) with Phyllis Thackeray and Ossie Noble - Dave
Kaye worked for three years in a timber merchant's office and was thrown out
of work by a slump. He got a job as accompanist to a girl who sang
songs in a store. Later he formed his own dance band, and in time became a
pianist to Jerry Hoey, Syd Lipton, and Jack Harris. By chance he met Ivor
Moreton, who had been wasting his time in a stockbroker's office, and they
joined up.

3) Stanley Woods - By winning both the Junior and Senior T.T. at the Isle of
Man in 1933, Woods repeated his remarkable double of the previous year.
Riding a 4-90 Norton in the Senior, he averaged a speed of 81.04 m.p.h. and
twice broke the record, whilst on a 3-48 Norton he won the junior, with a
speed of 78.08 m.p.h. Added to his doubles of 1932-33, victories in 1923 and
1926 bring his total to six successes, and his many Continental triumphs
stamp him as the ace of English road-racers.
4) Hall, E. R. To drive 3˝ litre Bentley in Ulster T.T. again, after being
second in 1934 by only 17 secs. A driver of great experience, he drove in
Mille Miglia this year and last. He was third in 1932 T.T.; fourth in 1933;
second in 1934. Won 500 miles race in 1933. Third in International Trophy (M.G.)
