TALKING of children and entertainment for them, one of the best storytellers was a Danish shoemaker called Hans Andersen. And today one man who has done almost as much to help children as to entertain them is Danny Kaye. The two together made an irresistible combination in the film Hans Christian Andersen, a fairy-tale based on an imaginary episode in the life of the shoemaker. The songs from this film (with words and music by Frank Loesser, of Guys and Dolls), told some of the best-known stories as well as introducing us to Hans, and his wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen. Some of these songs are presented by Danny Kaye, assisted by Jane Wyman and Gordon Jenkins and his Chorus and Orchestra, in Theatre of Music, on Saturday, August 31, from the YAs, 3YZ and 4YZ.
