A Little Show.
with Kitty Reidy, Hugh French, Dennis Van Thal, Bobby Probst

As well as the first television appearance of Hugh French and Bobby Probst, this show presents two celebrities in the shape of Kitty Reidy and Dennis Van Thal.
Van Thal is now Andre Chariot's partner in "Star and Stripes" at the Vaudeville - his first venture into management. He wrote music for "Hi-Diddle-Diddle", "Char-a-Bang", and "Shall we Reverse?", and with Nat Ayer jun, he was responsible for the music in "Stars and Stripes". Originally, he was a solo pianist.
Kitty Reidy comes from Australia. Theatre-goers will remember her debut on the London stage in 1926 as Nina in "Wildflower" at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Since then, she has won her way to the hearts of pantomime lovers all over the country. She has been principal boy or principal girl in almost every panto in the repertoire, including "The Sleeping Beauty", "Puss in Boots", "Robinson Crusoe", "Cinderella", "Mother Goose", and "The Forty Thieves".
