on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Directed by ALFRED VAN DAM
From THE TROCADERO CINEMA, ELEPHANT AND
CASTLE
ALFRED VAN DAM and his orchestra have been playing at the Trocadero Cinema practically ever since its opening early this year. Van Dam himself was at one time with the Carl Rosa Opera Company. Then he joined the musical side of the Gaumont British Company, playing at various of their cinemas, at Stratford, Preston, Wolverhampton, etc., before taking charge of the orchestra at the Elephant and Castle. He is English by birth and studied the violin with Albert Sammons. Today's programme is light and melodious. Put the loud speaker on the sideboard among the almonds-and-raisins and crystallized fruits !
