to start the morning with Leonard Henry, Betty Huntley-Wright, John Rorke
At the piano, Alan Paul
Presented by David Porter
Here are three stars to entertain you this morning. They should make your cup of tea all the nicer, and hope you won't have to hurry it. All three were among the artists who trekked to Bristol when war broke out, to place their talents and personalities at the disposal of the BBC Variety Department - address at that time 'Somewhere in England', or more popularly, Variety Town.
Two of them - Leonard Henry and Betty Huntley-Wright - make a welcome return to Bristol from pantomime. Betty, famous daughter of a famous father and heroine of numberless radio musical comedies, was principal boy in Prince Littler's Aladdin at the Streatham Hill Theatre, while Leonard Henry , one of the earliest and best of broadcasters, was Muddles in Prince's Sleeping Beauty at the Golders Green Hippodrome.
At for John Rorke, he is always, as you know, 'Unusually Yours'
