Return of Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne in 'Crooks' Tour'
with Patricia Leonard and Dennis Arundell
An adventure in six parts by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, from the original story by John Watt and Max Kester
Music by Kenneth Leslie-Smith
Lyrics by Max Kester

Cast :
Orchestra conducted by Charles Shadwell
Produced by Vernon Harris
(A special)

All fans of Messrs. Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne - and there are many of them-will welcome this return for a run of six weeks of Crooks' Tour. The particularly English form of craziness so aptly developed by this pair has made a hit not only in radio but also on the films, in The Lady Vanishes and Night Train to Munich. So here are Charters and Caldicott once more, keeping up the mood with which you are familiar, with the help of an hilarious cast. Naunton Wayne is now appearing in Black Vanities at the Victoria Palace, while Basil Radford is in the Army.
