View in Radio Times

(A series of Concert-Party Broadcasts)

Presented by Tissington and Craig Productions.
Introduced by Harry S. Pepper and Davy Burnaby from De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea.

This "scintillating summer show" is produced by Leslie Vernon, a modern mirth-maker, under the direct supervision of Will Tissington and Katharine Craig.
Among the cast, besides Leslie Vernon, are Carl Hadden, speciality dancer, who was at one time with the "Fol-de-Rols"; Alice Coty, entertainer; Newton Lees, bass-baritone; Herbert Aldridge, another old "Fol-de-Rol"; Pauline Ward, soubrette and dancer, who has been televised; Gladys Penny, soprano; Arthur Astaire, a young comedian and dancer with a famous name, who, oddly enough, played Fred Astaire's role in "Gay Divorce" on tour; The Cabaret Girls, starring Margaret Mercer, Reymonde Seton, Joan Stacey, and Ruby Savage, who have appeared at all the big West-End hotels; and Barry Humphrey, musical director, who leads his Five Rhythm Boys and has arranged all the musical numbers.
