Here is the seventh edition of this popular Longstaffe show, which aims at establishing professional artists who either have broadcast very seldom or have not been on the air at all. It began in January, and during that month alone introduced eighteen new artists to the microphone, thirteen of whom have been promoted to the evening programme.
Today's bill has immense promise:
Joe Stein , a popular comedian from the North, who was reluctant to go into pantomime but did so this Christmas and scored a big hit as the Dame in Babes in the Wood at Walthamstow, Brixton, Chelsea, and the Metropolitan, Edgware Road, is to make his radio debut ; a brilliant little singer, still in her 'teens, Audrey Samson , is to get, it is hoped, her first big chance; Sidney Vivian , once of Howard and Vivian, is to give his first solo broadcast, as a sandwich-board man ; and listeners are to hear for the first time ' The Three of Us '-Frank Hagley (at the piano), Charles Richard , and Wynifred Doran, who is broadcasting three times in a fortnight. Barry Delmaine has written the script of every Afternoon Revue, and Alan Paul and Ivor Dennis have been in every edition.
