Queen Elizabeth Celebrated Her Birthday Yesterday
6X7HAT the Duchess of York's smile has done
for the British Empire we shall know in the years to come," sald the Bishop of London some time. ago, when the prospect of the Duchess becoming Queen did not appear to be substantial.
The compliment may appear a little exaggerated, as old gen- tlemen's compliments are apt to be, but there is much in it.

That smile is the outward sign of a sweet and sumby nature, whose owner has shown the world that n rather shy and simple girl can bear with regal composure all the ceremony of Court life yet still be first and foremost
and good wife mother. It is indeed because she became the wife of a king's son that Queen Elizabeth has been able to do all this and do it well. She is a real helpmeet to her husband, and does, with quiet, retiring dignity, the public work which she has been called upon to do.
Any woman will be able to understand what it has meant to our Queen to fulfil hor high and dificult position. It was, in- deed, the possible prospects of this greatness and dignity which nione prevented the then Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon from ac- cepting at once the suit of the Duke of York. But their love helped her to overcome these fears, and after some hesitation she eventually accepted his pro- posal. Incidentally, it was in

There are no singers and your musician instead of having to take into account voices attached to more or less unwieldly bodies deals with legs and toes attached to beings trained to the utter- most exactitude of balance and movement. By so much, then, the ballet writer is freer

THE latest production at
Covent Garden, entitled "Paganini," dealt with a sub-i ject that should provide a diverting ballet story.
The period in which Pag- anini lived, the beginning of the nineteenth century, con- tains all the most eligible in- gredients for stories of an emotional nature. The mere physical aspect of the great' violinist was the epitome of romance, that tall, spare frame topped by a long, pale face with large, luminous eyes, the black hair wom long.
The music of this new "Paganini" ballet is a hybrid. It is based on a theme by the violinist. Then along comes Brahms, who takes that theme) and writes twenty-eight varia-j tions on it for pianoforte solo. The next stage is reached by the great Russian pianist Rachmaninoff, who, like Pag-
combines anini himself, superb gift for the playing of a solo instrument with an admirable talent for composi- tion.

Rachmaninoff, taking the same theme as Brahms, has lately written round it a Rhapsody for Pianoforte and Orchestra. It is this work that is being used for the new ballet.
