Marjorie Sandford makes her appearance for the first time this year in Max Kester 's popular series of programmes, her engagement as principal boy in the Lyceum pantomime preventing her from being in the last ' Wireless Puppets ', broadcast in January.
Listeners know her better as Marjorie Lotinga - she is Ernie's niece-but she is now calling herself Marjorie Sandford to avoid shining in reflected family glory. Working in revue, musical comedy, and vaudeville, she has also appeared in double acts with various well-known artists, including Walter Williams and Billy Mayerl (with whom she has studied the piano). Her career began during her schooldays when she played in her father's shows at holiday time. At sixteen she ran away from her father's company in which she was touring and came back with a contract for a London revue.
'The Wireless Puppets' will broadcast again on Saturday at 4.0 in the Regional programme
