This Gala Programme very much lives up to its title, for acts famous in the theatre and on the air are to broadcast with stars of international fame. Elsie and Doris Waters are to do a new Gert and Daisy act--a gala in itself. Ivy St. Helier is as good at the microphone as she is on the stage, as she proved in the radio versions of La Vie Parisienne and Florodora.
The one and only Elisabeth Welch comes from Drury Lane to broadcast tonight.
An interesting first broadcast in this country is that of Rawicz and Landaucr. These brilliant pianists have been famous broadcasters in Vienna for some time, and were both of them originally professors of music.
Then American stars are represented by the Four Yacht Club Boys, one of the greatest entertainment acts ever to visit this country, while Riccio, the Italian singer, is a topliner in the United States.
