The American Showmen

on BBC Radio 2

Fifteenth of a 25-part series
Presented by Michael Craig

This week: Alexander H. Cohen (part 1)
Uniquely among the world's present showmen Alexander Cohen operates on a truly transatlantic basis.
'I've never had any other ambition. It never occurred to me to do anything else. I went about it by starting in summer stock. I rented a theatre in Locus Valley, Long Island - beat up old red barn, seats cracked, but we were in business, and that's how I started.'
with recorded highlights from Victor Borge, Richard Burton, Flanders and Swann, Sir John Gielgud, Nichols and May and the comments of Esta Charkham. Radie Harris, Dudley Moore and Peter Cook and Hildy Parks
