The Arcadians

Church Hall, Barnes

December 1950

Musical Director – Marjorie Ludlam LRAM ARCM

Producer – Cyril Corker

Part of the review in the Barnes Herald commented thus:

“Let us have for the next show a professional dancing teacher……With a professional coach all could have danced nearly as well as George Tydeman, whose footwork stood out. He was like an embryo Fred Astaire.”

The unnamed reviewer then went on to compliment the “best post war orchestra and chorus”.
