or "Let's Sing Something"
Conducted by Stanford Robinson
"Part songs, single songs,
Patter songs and jingle songs,
P'r'aps a pretty ditty and a ballad that's a boon
High Brow! Low Brow! Even if you've no brow,
Dial for a trial of our toney type o' tune,
Entre nous, (Me and you)
Not a bass'll bellow, nor a sobbin' sister croon!"
(G. McC.)
The Comperes: IVY ST. HELIER, DICK FRANCIS
The Singers: STUART ROBERTSON, ESTHER COLEMAN, JAN VAN DER GUCHT, HELEN CRERAR,
The Pianists: ALAN PAUL, WILFRID PARRY
Words and Music by various authors and composers, including the Producer and the Conductor
Production by GORDON McCONNEL

This concert party with a story is the revival of an idea first used in 1927. "Entre Nous" is written round a mistake in the booking of some artists for an imaginary hall. On the one hand Stanford Robinson thinks that a concert is to be given and engages platform artists, on the other, Gordon McConnel supposes the show to be a light variety entertainment and books music-hall artists.
The concert platform singers and the music-hall artists turn up. In the confusion that follows lies the humour behind "Entre Nous", but out of the chaos evolves a delightful entertainment.
