THE B.B.C. DANCE ORCHESTRA
Personally conducted by JACK PAYNE
BEFORE the 'event of the evening' - namely, the broadcasting of the first of this year's season of 'Proms,' - comes, in more flippant mood, the second presentation by Rex Evans , of his half-hour cabaret. If you are a regular listener, you know all about Rex Evans, that he sings syncopated songs, that he has rapidly achieved 'star' rank in the world of smart cabaret.
His collaborator in this show, Rowland Leigh, is a young Oxford man with a real gift for snappy topical lyrics. He has written 'the words' for Sophie Tucker, Beatrice Lillie, etc., and leaves shortly for New York, where he has been commissioned to do the lyrics for a new show with music by the late Leslie Stuart.
