STUDIO-TALK
An appeal which should elicit a sym-
pathetic response from all who desire the
prosperity of our native arts is being made
on behalf of the Royal Academy of Music
by the Committee of Management for
funds to enable them to build and equip
a small students' theatre for the study and
performance of opera. The Academy,
which was founded in 1822, is the oldest
school devoted to musical education in
Britain, and from the beginning has en-
joyed the interest of the Royal Family,
After being carried on in Tenterden Street,
Hanover Square, for about go years, it
was transferred in 1912 to the new building
erected in Marylebone Road, which is now
inadequate to accommodate the ever-
increasing number of students and candi-
dates. Especially urgent is the need for a
theatre where operatic singers may be
trained and British Opera given a first and
critical hearing. Towards the £35,000 re-
quired for building and furnishing such a
theatre £16,000 is assured, leaving £19,000
to be raised by subscription. Contributions
may be sent to the Secretary, Royal
Academy of Music, York Gate, Maryle-
bone Road, N.W. 0 0 0 0
MANCHESTER.— Lancashire's chief
art products are babies, art schools,

Lancashire does the producing, London
the acclaiming, in greater or lesser degree.
In the case of Mr. Charles E. Cundall,
born at Stretford, near Manchester, in
1890, the normal course of events is being
followed, with slight variations. Some years
