Records of Robert Ashley, the popular tenor of records and radio

Robert Ashley made his West-End debut in "It's In the Bag," at the Saville. In a sketch in the show Gene Sheldon played a Greek waiter. Bob imitated him so successfully that he was made his understudy. Soon after the war, in Bristol, in the black-out, he bumped into one of the BBC producers and apologised in Greek broken English. Hence his comedy parts in "The Music Goes Home" and "Nuts in May." He has broadcast as a singer with Louis Levy's Symphony and with Jack Payne. He is twenty-seven, and waiting to be called up.

Off the beaten track with a gramophone and Bernard Miles
Here is the third programme of this entertaining series of gramophone records by one of our most original comedians. Whoever has seen his portrayal of the farm labourer leaning on a cart wheel, whether at the Players' Theatre a year or two ago or in Diversion No. 2 at Wyndham's, will surely agree. He was Briggs, the consumptive workman, in Thunder Rock and he takes the part of the country policeman in the film of Quiet Wedding.
