AMBROSE Goes West

AMBROSE and his Orchestra are featured in the dance session from station 2YA _ on August 19. It is understood that Ambrose, who has probably the best band in England to-day, is going to America, where he has been guaranteed a personal salary of not less than £600 a week. No doubt he will obtain other incidental work, which should bring his full salary to £10006 per week. ‘With him are going Max Bacon, his drummer, Evelyn Dall, who recently conducted Ambrose’s Band on a tour

of the provinces of England, and two or three special arrangers. It appears that Miss Dall has been offered. a Hollywood contract and will specialise in film work. Max Bacon will work with Ambrose as comedian, and possibly as drummer also. Ambrose will be the third famous English band leader to migrate to.the United States. Jack Hylton and Ray Noble are already in the States, where they are enjoying the fullest popularity.
