Bless the Bride
FEEL disposed to biess the DDU for giving us this radio version of what Cochran’s Young Ladies and A. P. Herbert can do when they get together. From Opening Chorus ("Bless the Bride"): to Grand Finale ("Bless the Bride") there was never-a dull or a repetitive moment. At Opening Chorus the bride is about to marry the Hon. Thomas Trout, at Final Chorus she is due to be united to her beloved Pierre, and between these two pegs hangs the daintily contrived web of the plot, bedewed with lyrics by A. Ps Herbert. (The Hon. Thomas loses Lucy’s heart by telling white lies, and wins the audience’s with his delightful "I’m too good to be true") It seems a long time since radio listeners were presented with a nice bright brand-new musical comedy, complete with dialogue, and now, having seen the New Look, I doubt" whether we will be content with the good material but outmoded trimmings ("O Sly Cigarette, O Shy Cigarette") of Floradora and The Country Girl.
