The B.B.C. Dance Orchestra
Directed by Henry Hall
Tonight Henry Hall will broadcast 'Hall Marks 1932 to 1934' to celebrate the second anniversary of the B.B.C. Dance Orchestra under his own direction, and this gala programme is designed to recall incidents and famous figures and artists associated with his regime.
For instance, one item will recall the visit of their Majesties the King and Queen to Broadcasting House, a second that of the Prince of Wales to the Variety Command Performance, and a third the Prince's attendance at the R.M.A. banquet at the Savoy.
There will be a number to commemorate the coming of Les Allen, another to commemorate Henry Hall 's great success at Olympia; an item to revive memories of his special programme broadcast on his return from America, and one to call to mind his special programme 'C.B. Cochran Presents'.
But perhaps the most popular item of all will be 'Among the Boys', in which Henry Hall will personally introduce each one of them, with a little story round each and a fragment of some tune associated with him.
