Transcription
[missing words] weeks it will present an entirely new show, “Spotlight on Variety”, at a R.A.F. hospital: at Chinnor, in aid of the British Legion; and to men of the Eighth Army who are undergoing plastic surgery in England.
A series of shows will be given for the Red Cross Prisoners-of-War Fund, and a second series is under consideration for outlying building sites and factories under the auspices of the Ministry of Labour.
The Station will see “Spotlight on Variety.” which has been devised and produced by Henry Howard and Wally Okin, some time in December. We shall have the advantage of seeing it when it has been, so to speak, highly polished and has outgrown the teething troubles inevitable in a variety show.
New Talent
The producers are themselves doing two new acts, and the cast includes Diana Male, Flt/Lieut. Gottlieb, Jimmy Cummings, Phil Lunn and Wally Spencer, Conrad Vince and Jill Winsome and Frankie Middleton.
When the show reaches camp it is hoped that some new talent may be introduced.
