Ivy Tresmand:
' There was one kind of Leading Lady who always seemed to endear herself more to the public than your big soprano ladies who played princesses and the like. She was the soubrette, more likely to be playing a maid than a duchess. Your soubrette never harrowed you with a lot of suffering for love - she'd probably have a brief weep, a quick chat with the comedian and whip into a big song and dance number, which bore no relation to anything.' Introduced by Vanessa Lee. Series devised and written by FRANK SALTER Producer BARRY KNIGHT
