' My Friend Bron '
Stories of the Great Barrier Reef written and told by Mary Elwyn Patchett
5— ' Coral Sea Adventure
' Again the huge fish crashed into us, and though my eyes were stinging, and streaming with salt water, I saw a long, spear-like thing protruding from its nose.
5.15 ' Ballet Shoes ' by Noel Streatfeild
Adapted as a serial play in six parts by Felicity Douglas
5—' Petrova's Secret '
Production by Josephine Plummer
‘ Petrova does her exercises neatly, and never forgets her dance routines; her points are strong, and she gets up well on them; her knees are splendidly straight. In fact, there is nothing wrong with her work-except that it bores her, and she looks as if it did.' Poor Petrova! It was quite true that dancing bored her. But there was something else that did not.
