Ivor Dennis and Alan Paul at the two pianos
Produced by Reginald Smith
It would be difficult to find two better collaborators than Ronnie Hill and Peter Dion Titheradge. They first met at the Gate Theatre, and little thought at the time that they would be fated to act as collaborators. It was George Black who started them on the road to success with a capital ' S '. He asked them to write for him, and they provided a great deal of the material of the Hippodrome show Black and Blue.
Queue for Song contains excellent examples of their work, and the cast chosen to ' put them over' should give listeners an enlivening half-hour.

The meteoric success of Layton and Johnstone, whose gramophone royalties alone brought them over £100,000 in one year
Illustrated by gramophone records
Written and arranged by Herbert C. Ridout
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 ã100,000 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.

Rachmaninoff is the composer not merely of one never-to-be-forgotten Prelude, but of no fewer than twenty-four preludes. In other words, he has written a prelude in every possible key, major and minor, like Bach and Chopin.
Admittedly the C sharp minor was the earliest. It is one of a set of five piano pieces, Op. 3, written in 1892 when the composer was only nineteen. But nine or ten years later Rachmaninoff produced a set of Ten Preludes, numbered Op. 23. And in 1910 he completed the cycle of twenty-four keys with another set of Thirteen Preludes, Op. 32.
