This popular musical comedy will probably need little introduction to the majority of listeners, for its big hit ' The Lambeth Walk ' has scored one of the most remarkable song successes in recent years.
Tonight's broadcast will celebrate the thousandth performance of the show, which shares the distinction with only nine other West-End hits since 1875. Me and My Girl opened in December, 1937, and looked like being a failure, when a broadcast from the Victoria Palace sent the public rushing to see it.
This evening you will hear two scenes from the first act. In the first Lupino Lane as Bill Snibson is being taught society etiquette by the Duchess, and in the second the terrace of Hareford Hall becomes the setting for the first introduction of the Lambeth Walk.
