Charles Higgins looks for humour in life and adapts it as material. Daftness appeals to him, and he makes jokes about it. He last broadcast in Music-Hall in January.
Everybody knows Anona Winn , but only her friends know Sally, her new pet. Sally is black and delightful, and only a few weeks old-a cocker spaniel puppy of the famous Ware strain and descended from champions. Tonight Anona is to sing '.When I grow Up ', a new number with a gay tune and amusing lyrics by Eddie Pola. It has never been performed anywhere by anyone.
Tommy Walker , well known in the north, makes his bow to London. The Variety Director went up to Manchester to look for talent, and a contract for Tommy Walker was a direct result.
Listeners will welcome Dorothy Ward in a variety programme. She has appeared as principal boy in twenty-five pantomimes, and took the roof off Radio-Oiympia last year when she sang selections from songs she had made famous.
Billy Merson 's name is as well known as any popular advertisement, He is as famous in revue as he has long been on the halls. He last broadcast in Music-Hail in November, 1933.
