The Talk Of The Town - Opening Programme

 

Into the dazzling future

To put it quite simply, the Hippodrome has been transformed into the most modem theatre restaurant in the world. At the turn of the century, the first West End Moss Empire presented what was, in those days, a completely original type of show; today The Talk of the Town offers Londoners a form of entertainment that is unique in the history of the metropolis. And just as Sir Edward Moss, Master showman of his time, realised a Dream when he put Hippodrome Corner on the map, so Charles Forte, Bernard Delfont and Robert Nesbitt achieve an ambition in transforming it, and thereby putting London not merely abreast of he times but ahead of them. New York, Paris and Hollywood have their theatre restaurants; it is only fitting that London, the most vibrant and modern-minded city in the world, should have the finest of them all.

As can be imagined, the transformation of the veteran Hippodrome into The Talk of the Town has been a gigantic operation-only made possible by the imaginative collaboration of three men who are leaders and pioneers in their own fields - ace-restauranteur Charles Forte, impresario Bernard Delfont, and ace-producer Robert Nesbitt. It is an entirely new conception, neither patterned on, nor inspired by, any other place of entertainment in any part of the globe; the decor does not attempt to reproduce the atmosphere of any foreign city or locale; it is the unique creation of contemporary minded men-of-the-theatre with an original but realistic approach to show-business.

The policy of The Talk of the Town is to provide three forms of entertainment under one roof; here patrons may wine and dine satisfyingly, and elegantly dance to the music of famous orchestras, and, in the course of the evening, enjoy the two contrasted stage presentations that form the theatre-entertainment. Whether you are relaxing or celebrating, you can have a complete night at The Talk of the Town from cocktail-time to the small hours. London's latest rendezvous will indeed be The Talk of the Town.
