The meteoric success of Layton and Johnstone, whose gramophone royalties alone brought them over £100,000 in one year

Layton and Johnstone came over together from the States in 1924 and made their London debut at the Queen's Theatre the same year in an Elsie Janis show called Elsie Janis at Home. They were at once booked to broadcast from Savoy Hill and became world-famous. From that year until their partnership ended in 1935, they became ever greater favourites.
No wonder they were called in the gramophone world 'The £100,000 Pair'.
Many listeners will welcome this opportunity of hearing once again, if only on wax, a team that gave them such enjoyment in happier days than these.
