| Description: | VAN STRATEN AND HIS ORCHESTRA Van Straten and His Orchestra perform 'I'll Send You My Love Letter'. "Over Now To VAN STRATEN AND HIS ORCHESTRA". London Various shots of Van Straten and His Orchestra playing 'I'll Send You My Love Letter'. A girl singer appears and sings the lyrics. Superimposed over shots of the band we see someone writing a love letter, ("My darling, I am so very lonely here without you") supposedly to a man in the wartime services; the man's empty armchair; a hand touches a picture frame. Strangely, there are no C/Us of the girl singer. Van Straten's Orchestra / Band was also known as his Piccadilly Dance Band. | |
