Davy Burnaby , who has compered so many shows on the air, has been described as the Prince of Comperes. He has been acting since the age of seven and has been the heart and soul of musical comedy and revue in the West End theatre for the last thirty years. He was with the Co-Optimists at the Royalty, Palace, and Prince of Wales's from 1921 to 1927, and appeared with them again at the Palace in May last year. A golfer and cricketer, a popular member of the Green Room Club and a keen participator in its Rags, Burnaby seems to have the gift of keeping perpetually young.
Curtis and Ames, whom listeners will remember in Eight Bells, are light comedy duettists at the piano; the Cole Brothers, both Negroes, are famous for their cross-talk act; Mario Lorenzi is one of the few harp players to specialise in syncopation.
Then Claude Hulbert and Enid Trevor are to produce a new sketch tonight, and the inimitable Mabel Constanduros is to give a new mono logue ... not Mrs. Buggins. It is of interest that a new radio play, Love at Par, written by her and her nephew, Denis Constanduros, is to be produced on September 7, with, it is hoped, Claude Hulbert and Enid Trevor in the cast.
