Radio Revue
ye: AND BELLS," a short variety * programme compéred by Naunton Wayne (who, with Basil Radford, made up "Charters and Caldecote," the immortal tourists of screen and radio just before the war), and broadcast recently by 3YA, is a revue of a type little known. in New Zealand: the fast, slick, ultrasophisticated West. End sort, equally unlike the knockabout "Krazy Kapers," "Itma" variety on the one hand and the American mixed show on the other. This stuff is brisk and amusing, but somehow transplants badly;. it is a special growth which flourishes in one soil only, and that simply is not ours. Most radio variety postulates an audience of habitues, who know the songs, the gags and the personalities; and the "Cap and Bells" audience is something far more metropolitan than anything we can muster, and-let us add-far more monied.
