' Songs from the Shows', a series first produced in 1931, like Tennyson's brook, goes on for ever. True it changed its title sometimes to ' Songs from the Films', giving listeners a radio version of The Three Little Pigs in 1934, which paved the way for the Silly Symphonies.
The series embraced modern shows and went back to Hullo, Ragtime, to the old Gaiety favourites, and even farther. It broke out in sub series-theatres, composers-and maintained its popularity to such an extent that it still goes on. Whatever shows may be chosen tonight listeners may be sure that such artists as Betty Huntley-Wright , Webster Booth, John Rorke , and C. Denier Warren will put the songs over.
