A Variety of songs and smiles with Pete Davis (A man of 'characters'), and Peter Pounds (Entertainer at the piano)
Presented by Tom Dawson
Two Peters come to the microphone in this short afternoon Variety programme. Peter Pounds is the holder of a name familiar to theatregoers of the last war, being a son of Courtice Pounds, one of the company of that record-breaker, Chu Chin Chow. He will be heard in songs at the piano which he sings in the Style of 'Hutch'. Sharing the bill is Pete Davis, giving impersonations and characterisations. He is perhaps better known in Scotland as a producer than as a performer, but he occasionally comes into the limelight for special shows.

Few singers of today have had a more varied career' than has Frederick Ranalow. He made his first appearance on the stage in 1898 as Father O'Flynn in Shamus O'Brien ; since when he has sung in grand opera, in rôles as diverse as Hans Sachs in Wagner's Master-singers and Captain Macheath in The Beggar's Opera. As a concert singer he toured Australia and New Zealand with Melba. He also appeared in the play Autumn Crocus. His choice of ballads this evening should prove of great interest to lovers of good songs.
