1 in Spasms of Tomfoolery -
THE B B C VARIETY ORCHESTRA
Conducted by I KNEALE KELLEY
, Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and here is Music-Hall again.
Col!inson and Dean are to argue about Cromwell, and that means
' laughter. They once played nine ; shows a day within a radius of a quarter of a mile-four at the Leicester Square Theatre, London; when it was running continuous Variety, four shows at Daty's, and one at the Trocabaret. And if that isn't a record, it deserves to be.
It is a- sign of the times that Les
Allen, whom broadcasting made famous, is now seldom free to broadcast. Theatre contracts take him into the provinces eight weeks in ten, and they extend into April, 1937. His Canadian Bachelors are both Canadians and bachelors. They all began their musical careers as choir boys and sang on the air in Canada before coming over here.
Anona Winn , as alive a personality as any on the air, is to broadcast tonight without her Winners.
Stainless Stephen, who is shortly to tour Great Britain, was a school-master up to a few weeks ago. He resigned to make entertaining a whole time job.
Renee Houston made her solo debut early this year in musical comedy-Love Laughs at the Hippodrome, London. She is under contract to C. B. Cochran for a play James Bridie is writing for her. She and her sister
Billie are making a film-Show Folks -that is to be the story of their lives.
Joe Young is to buy St. George's
Hall and show listeners how he would run a studio. He started life in a factory, was discovered by Kate Carney , and has toured Great Britain, South Africa, Australia, ' buying theatres ' everywhere and ' sacking' the entire staff.
