Here is another of those shows for which Messrs. Freeman and Lubbock have made themselves well known. The pair originally met in 1930. Freeman was then on the staff of the BBC, and had just completed the book of a radio operetta entitled The Kinx Can Do No Wrong. He found the composer for whom he was seeking in Mark H. Lubbock , who had just returned from seven years study in Germany. This meeting was the start of a partnership that has been responsible for no fewer than twelve big radio musicals, among which may be remembered His Majesty Proclaims, A Seat in Hyde Park , The Castle on the Hill, Auay to the Hills, and Mazurka. Week - End Return was originally produced in 1935.
