SAM MAYO Comedian
HARRY TATE and COMPANY
THE DANCING DAUGHTERS (Trained by Rosalind Wade)

Mrs. Jack Hylton started her band as a bet. More than two years ago Jack bet her a car she couldn't do anything of the kind. He came back from tour and she met him with her band. He had to pay up. Last year she toured 25,000 miles, playing on both sides of the Channel.

Mario de Pietro, as facile on the mandoline as on the banjo, is to give samples of his playing on both. George Doonan, at the age of five, sang 'You've Got a Long Way to Go'. He stayed the course.
The 'Trix Sisters' was probably the first of the sister acts to become famous. Josephine is American and Helen English; so their act has an international flavour.

Harry Tate has been in pantomime at Brighton and should be in good vein, for he is never happier than by the sea.

Whilst that other famous comedian Sam Mayo, is still doing his act in a dressing-gown, but The Immobile One has now introduced a piano.
