(Eighth visit to this popular theatre)
Once again the popular Palace of Varieties is on the air with its usual merry bill. Listeners will hear those old favourites, Haver and Lee, the fun racketeers; Rossi, the marvellous boy accordionist who was recently at the Palladium with Jack Hylton; Ernest Shannon in impersonations of old-time music-hall stars; Biddy and Fanny, "two dames" from the Windmill Theatre; Les Allen and Kitty Masters, of Henry Hall and BBC fame; Tom Brandon, a Longstaffe discovery ("He's a very quaint Lancashire comedian with an original way of answering his own questions: "Will you do an act, Tom?" — "I will with pleasure""); and finally, the Radio Revellers in an entirely new repertoire including an imitation of an old phonograph record running down in the middle.
Listeners will remember that at the last Palace of Varieties Ralph Truman , who has sat in the stalls and introduced so many of the turns, brought his "fiancée" with him. Tonight for a change he is to bring his "uncle". His uncle is to be impersonated by a man whose name has been well known in the theatre for forty-five years. S. Major Jones made his first appearance in London at the Princess's Theatre in 1897 as Bill Mullins in that grand melodrama "Two Little Vagabonds", and at the same theatre succeeded Charles Warner as Happy Jack in "How London Lives". He must have been stage manager in his time at almost every West End theatre, but will be chiefly remembered for his long association with the Lyceum, where he stage-managed fifty plays and no fewer than twelve pantomimes.
