In tonight's rollicking bill old favourites are to the fore. We are already in the month of Christmas and Elsie and Doris Waters have been coming to rehearsals in magnificent fur coats given them by Gert and Daisy.
And Billy Merson has come muttering gags with a West Country flavour, for Bristol is to see him in pantomime this year.
Robert Naylor has done most things.
Oratorio singer in Yorkshire, grand opera at the Old Vie., guest artist with the Carl Rosa Opera Company, West End revue, understudy to Tauber (f,)r whom he played) at Drury Lane. Who can have more abundant musical memories ?
His present act with Sylvia Cecil as partner is a big winner. Sylvia has twice been with the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company at the Prince's Theatre and her soprano voice is perfect for broadcasting.
Then there are Charles Higgins , in ' The Day I went to Wembley for the Cup Tie ', Ross and Sargent, just back from Hollywood, and our old friend Norman Long.
