Nannette Hill et al. in Savoy Theatre - 1 July, 1932
from Journeying boy : the diaries of the young Benjamin Britten 1928-1938, page 109:
Nannette Hill (daughter of Sir Leonard) comes to dinner, & we both go (tickets given by Lady Hill) to the Ballet (Camargo etc.) at Savoy Theatre. Not particularly impressed by Fête Galante of Glinka. Tchaikovsky's Lac des Cygnes was effective & Anton Dolin danced v. well in this & Lord of Burleigh (Mendelssohn - arr. E. Evans)* which was very amusing.
