for Suzette Tarri and her ' Road
Show '
Devised by Suzette Tarri and written by Robert Rutherford. Produced by Ernest Longstaffe
Cast
The BBC Revue Chorus and the BBC Variety Orchestra
Conducted by Charles Shadwell
Scene: A schoolroom in East
London
Suzette Tarri , we understand, has been told by neighbours in her suburb that, while she has got away with it over the microphone, they can do just as well. So this afternoon a number of them have taken a hall, where, before managers and producers, they will show their paces!
Suzette Tarri , famous Cockney comedian, will of course be there herself to hear the efforts of her
' neighbours ', and it seems as though she will have to look to her laurels. Cyril Fletcher is well known for his Edgar Wallace recitation about the absent-minded soldier. Sidney Burchall has been with the ' Pig and Whistle '. Tommy Brandon is a well-known Lancashire comedian, and Arthur Marshall , an Oundle schoolmaster, has broadcast a lot in Monthly Revues. Accordion-playing Tollefsen is just back from a fortnight's holiday in his native Norway. The Three Admirals, harmony singers, appeared in ' Paradise Island ', and Hebe Haworth is a comparative newcomer to broadcasting.
' Tarri Awhile' was broadcast in the Regional programme on Thursday

W. H. Davies, himself a distinguished poet, is going to read some famous love poetry, both known and less known, from the past. The reading will include Ben Jonson's 'Drink to me only with thine eyes', the anonymous 'There is a lady sweet and kind', Browning's 'Evelyn Hope', and 'Dark Rosaleen' by Mangan. Many people will remember Mr Davies's poetry readings from his own famous works in the past.
