Reg Varney was in the revue called "Revudeville" at the Windmill Theatre in the 1938.The name" Revudeville" was used for 32 years ,from 1932 to 1964 at the Windmill Theatre.

Reg Varney was on the stage in Revudeville no.104 and not in the orchestra pin as well as Revudeville no.103.

I noted Gladys in the Hammer Film Production 1971 film ,"On the Buses" Gladys is played by Maggie McGrath. You may like to know that Maggie McGrath worked like Red Varley at the Windmill Theatre in the Revudeville revue. Maggie was know as Margaret at the Windmill Theatre and was a Revudebelle. The Revudebelles were a small group of female artistes who did the posing and fan dancing at the Windmill Theatre. Maggie McGrath married the actor Michael Rennie. I know Maggie McGrath was still alive last year. Below is a 1938 British American cigarette card which dates from the thin Margaret was at the Windmill Theatre. Margaret was one of the small group of artistes called Revudebelles and not a Windmill Girl.The Revudebelles
