This successful musical play, which takes its title from the London haunt of actors, made its radio debut in November, 1934, and was filmed two years later. Gladys Keyes is Clay's wife, while Clay Keyes is none other than Haver, of Haver and Lee, the Fun Racketeers. Listeners have heard many other successful shows by Gladys and Clay, notably Rogues and Rhythm, broadcast in 1936. In the present revival
Gladys Keyes is to broadcast in the part of Meggie, created on the air by Bertha Willmott. Horace Percival is the only other representative of the original cast.
The theme song, ' Roadway of Romance ', was broadcast in ' Songs from the Radio Shows ', just before the original production of Charing Cross Road.
