With the following cast:
George Moon, Mabel Constanduros, Vernon Harris, Jack Train, Maurice Denham, Dick Francis, Doris Owens, the BBC Variety Orchestra, conducted by Charles Shadwell
With Herr Hitler as Alice, and Field-Marshal Goering as the Duchess, this is surely an Alice in Wonderland, or Blunderland, just as you will.
Among the stars in the cast are two young artists, Maurice Denham and Jack Train, both so versatile that they are likely to make a big name for themselves in the Variety Repertory Company. Though Maurice Denham has a small son of his own, he is a character actor who specialises in small-boy parts. He made his radio debut as recently as February last year, yet he has given over 100 broadcasts. The Rabbit in 'Winnie the Pooh', Reggie Neemo in the Neemo sketches - such opposite parts are down his street. He can sing tenor, bass, contralto, falsetto, and, like Jack Train, can patter in a dozen languages.
This other brilliant young man, who has had a flair for impersonations from a boy, was discovered by the Secretary for War, who saw him performing as an amateur at the Royal Hotel, Devonport. Mr. Hore-Belisha introduced him to Sir Alfred Butt, and, with Jack's talent, the rest was easy. He is now to be regularly on the air from 'Somewhere in England'.
A dramatic chronicle of the entry of the nations of the British
Commonwealth into war
Devised and produced by Laurence Gilliam and A. L. Lloyd
One of the most moving broadcasts since radio began was Laurence Gilliam 's production, ' Twenty Years Ago', which, twenty years after the commencement of the first Great War, recorded the story of the march of events up to the great catastrophe. Nothing in it was more moving than the dramatisation of the speech by Sir Edward Grey , then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who spoke of the lights going out all over Europe.
Tonight Laurence Gilliam is to produce a programme, no less touching, dealing with events even more momentous-the outbreak of ,the second Great War. Listeners will hear how the challenge of war came, and the Empire's answer.
Written and arranged by Mungo Dewar
