Jelly D'Aranyi, November 1928


Jelly steals the scene, and brings a swirl of European glamour to a cold day in Manchester.

Renowned Hungarian violinist Jelly D'Aranyi steals the scene, and brings a swirl of glamour to a cold Manchester day, as she entertains young Ruth Behrens in the family's garden. Jelly always stayed at Holly Royde, the Behrens' family home, when she performed with the Halle Orchestra. Look out for Ruth's sister Mary, confined to the house with a cold, and watching the fun through opera glasses.
