Programme devised and written by Wilfrid Rooke Ley with Violet Marquesita , Wilfrid Rooke Ley , Andrea Matandrinos ,
Cecile Chevreau , and William Ashley
BBC Theatre Orchestra
Leader, Tate Gilder
Conducted by Mark H. Lubbock
Presented by Desmond Davis
Deep down in a certain cellar, which you must imagine to be both soundproof and bomb-proof, the night life of London still goes on. There the exiles of every nation gather to drink the remaining stocks of the wine of their country, and to listen to their native music.
Listeners can depend on a romantic atmosphere and background in any programme devised by the deviser of ' The Table under the Tree', especially when it is to be performed by so gifted and cosmopolitan a cast.
