or ' The True Story of the Betty Martin '
A burlesque by the Melluish Brothers
Cast
Sam } f Foster Carlin
Joe able Ronnie Hill Bill seamen Dudley Rolph
Harry Horace Percival and a chorus of rude sailors
Scene: The main deck of the Betty Martin
The BBC Revue Orchestra, leader Boris Pecker , conducted by Hyam Greenbaum
Once again listeners are to hear one of the best of the many first-rate burlesques by the Melluish Brothers. It was generally conceded that All at Sea, which made its positively first appearance in any shape or form in the RADIO TIMES, was one of the funniest things ever published in it. The occasion was the Whitsun number six years ago.
Suitably expanded and with new lyrics from time to time, it has become almost a perennial on the air.

Leslie Mitchell interviews your favourite stars of stage, screen, and cabaret-
Polly Ward and Hugh Wakefield
Hugh Wakefield , with his wry humour, has been on the stage since he was ten years old, and since then -with the exception of the Great War years when he served in the R.F.C. and R.A.F.-he has been practically non-stop before the footlights. He has appeared in comedies, farces, and straight plays, and since 1936 has made a number of films. His most recent success has been in Good Men Sleep at Home at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London.
Polly Ward would certainly seem to have no excuse for not being on the stage. Her mother was Winifred Ward, well-known actress and impersonator ; her uncle is Gus McNaughton of Naughton and Gold; and her grandfather was one of thf famous Polluski brothers. She is also related to the Lupino family. She has appeared in plays, pantomimes, and films, and for television, and is making a name in cabaret.
