'THE HIGH ROAD'

on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

Adapted for broadcasting by Howard Rose from the comedy by Frederick Lonsdale
Cast :
Produced by John Cheatle
Here is one of Frederick Lonsdale 's most amusing comedies. He takes for his theme an old idea-that of the aristocracy trying to buy off the actress who'would dare to marry into the family and gain a title ; but, being Lonsdale, he gives the story a brilliant twist. It will give a great chance to an actress who has just joined the BBC Repertory Company -Pamela Brown , who is to broadcast in the part created at the Shaftesbury in 1927 by Cecily Byrne. Pamela made her name in the Oxford Repertory Company as a young actress of versatility and rare talent.
