| received here. she describes how the
strike affected musical London.
THE sudden advent of the general
| strike came just at the beginning of
| the British musical season, and there
was universal scramble by both
| British and foreign artists to cancel
all their recital arrangements" she

| strike seriously. AS a result we had
| the field to ourselves and were re-
| warded by the largest and most ap-
preciative audiences on record"
