FOR SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER
FIFTY YEARS SINCE
Kensington News and West London Times - Friday 23 October 1953
Two Kensington girls Alma Cogan and June Whitfield are to take over the radio -spot vacated by Joy Nichols in a new styled edition of “Take It From Here”. Apparently the girls will now give both Jimmy Edwards and Dick Bentley separate co-stars. 21-year-old Alma Cogan lives just off Kensington High Street she has a singing voice that is not unlike that of her predecessor Joy Nichols. Her stage career began in the traditional way— in variety. Six years ago she got to the West End" with the chorus in High Button Shoes” and graduated to cabaret. In the last six years it has been battle for Alma Cogan to decide which of her two careers would be the most profitable, dress designing or singing. The Radio show “Gently Bentley” last year pointed the way to a singing future though she still makes all her own clothes and paints as a hobby.
Note: Alma joined the radio programme 'GENTLY BENTLEY' in August 1952. The series finished in October.
