Remember such
time-honoured
favourites as ‘We’ll
gather lilacs’? Tonight
we acknowledge that
patriotic First World
War plea to ‘keep
the home fires
burning’ in a tribute
to a silent-movie
actor, West End
playwright,
composer and star
of a string of stage
musicals hugely
popular in their day. Ivor Novello, the most
consistently successful composer of British musicals
before the advent of Andrew Lloyd Webber,
nowadays tends to be unjustly neglected.
Sir Mark Elder is a committed advocate, as is
tonight’s master of ceremonies, Simon Callow.
