9.48 Lupino Lane and his Lambeth Walkers, "Billy Williams’ Songs" Williams | An authority on the music hall, M.. Willson Disher once recalled a Bank Holi- | day performance when the late Billy Williams was still being called for after he had sung song after song. He had to depart, but the shouting and tumult would not die. No other turn could hope for a hearing in that din. The management put on a lengthy display of living statuary. Pose after pose of chalk-white figures invited the public’s admiration. Instead the audience all went on shouting, ‘ Bil-lee Wil-yums. Bil-lee Wil-yums,’’ just to relieve their feelings, though they knew he had gone. Soon he had gone beyond all earthly recall, His grave is at Shoreham cemetery. : | 9.53 Arthur Askey and Richard Murdoch, "Blacking Out the Flat" 10. O Radio Despatch from the N.Z.
