THE BBC VARIETY ORCHESTRA
Conducted by ERNEST LONGSTAFFE
Here is a Variety bill with just the right mixture of laughter and straight entertainment.
There are CAMPBELL and WISE, a married couple whose verbal differences would be the despair of even the most optimistic matrimonial peacemaker.
There is a straight turn in APPLETON
MOORE, a singer with a fine voice, who will sing two songs composed by Ernest Longstaffe.
There is RAY MEUX-a nom du théatre-who this evening makes his debut on the air. He is a raconteur who manages to get across an unusually attractive personality with an artful artlessness.
There is WILFRED WORDEN-another straight turn. He is a versatile performer who, amongst other things, will play ' Liebestraum ' with the Variety Orchestra.
There is another microphone debut in the TOM KATZ SAXOPHONE Six. This act is Australian and though it has been performing for nine years, this is its first visit to this country. The ' Six ' are well-known broadcasters in Australia and New Zealand, and a special radio night at Sydney was arranged for them before they sailed. The organ-like tone they get in some of their numbers was noticed by the captain of the liner, and the second day at sea they were invited to play for Divine Service. They once gave a show in the centre of the Australian salt bush for the forty white inhabitants and several aborigines. They created a furore with the blacks, who had never seen a saxophone before.
And the other two items ? Well, they need little introduction. LESLIE FULLER will be Leslie Fuller , and WILL HAY will give another of his inimitable demonstrations of how not to educate schoolboys.
