with Ronald Frankau, Comedian, Michaelson, Cartoonist, Paddy Brown, Diseuse and The June Dancers.
In addition to the June Dancers, an unusual dancing act, Michaelson, a cartoonist whom viewers have seen before, and Paddy Brown, a diseuse who has been very successful in West-End non-stop revue, this evening's cabaret is noteworthy for the appearance of Ronald Frankau.
The son of Frank Danby and the younger brother of Gilbert Frankau, the novelists, Ronald Frankau left Eton and slowly but determinedly drifted on to the stage. He made his first appearance in the chorus of A Country Girl at Daly's. His first real success was with his own concert party, called 'The Cabaret Kittens'. Since December 1934, his double act on the air with Tommy Handley as Murgatroyd and Winterbottom has been one of the highlights of broadcast Variety. On the stage and in cabaret Ronald Frankau is now one of the biggest attractions. He is entertaining both as a singer and as a raconteur.
