THIS evening's Variety show will once more prove that Variety can be not merely more varied than. but as brilliant as, any revue. At the top of the bill is Peggy O'Neil - the famous actress' whose 'Peg o' My Heart' and 'Paddy the Next Best Thing' made her name long before she made a new reputation in a quite new line as 'Mercenary Mary,' in the piece that had such a triumphant success at the Hippodrome. Wolseley Charles will be remembered by all frequenters of the Co-Optimists as Melville Gideon's opposite number, and he has since contributed to many revues. Harold Kimberley and Olive Groves have an assured radio audience, as has A. J. Alan , whose characteristic style has never yet been successfully imitated at the microphone. Henry Oscar is a still rising radio star, who as actor and producer has a -distinguished record in the radio drama; and Hildegard Arnold is one of the most brilliant 'cellists whom the B.B.C. has yet found. And to wind up, there is Morris Harvey , who maintains the tradition of Pelissier's Follies-with whom he once played-on the stage of today, and who, apart from such recent successes as Cochran's Revue at the Pavilion, will always be remembered for his exquisite comedy acting in The Nine O'clock Revue.
