Fifty-five years of entertainment at the Golders Green Hippodrome in North London
Ian Wallace tells the story of this famous theatre with the help of CICELY COURTNEIDGE AND JACK HULBERT
GEORGE ELRICK , JOHN HANSON
DANNY LA RUE , RALPH READER and records
Script by Gale Pedrick
Produced by Pat Osborne
Shortened version of the broadcast on December 26. 1967
John Hanson appears by permission of Bernard Delfont and Emile Littler
Sadness at the closing of Golders Green Hippodrome early this year was tempered by the BBC's decision to take over the building and run it as a television theatre. For more than fifty years almost every great name in variety, ballet, opera, and the drama had been printed on playbills advertising productions at ' the Green.' It was a classic try-out theatre and was the first London playhouse to reopen after war began in 1939. This evening Radio 4 pays a compliment under the title' From the Merry Widow to the Gang Show' to a theatre which links the music of Franz Lehar and Ralph Reader.
