| Performance Notes | Paul Robeson was in the audience.
"Miss Grace Moore, singing star of Hollywood, since she became world-famous as a screen-star, has faced a battery of cameras daily. Last night, when she arrived at the Albert Hall for her song recital, she told management that she would not go on the platform until she had a guarentee that there were no photographers in the building. Kreisler, Menuhin, Robeson, all great artists, have accepted the accolade of publicity at the Albert Hall that take sthe form of an array of cameras, sometimes with flashlights, at the end of their numbers, sometimes when they are performing. From her first number Miss Moore held her audience of six thousand. Mr Paul Robeson headed the stampede to her dressing-room after the show. Here, chewing gum in a most natural way, she held court for half an hour. Then she left to the cheers of the crowd."
