by Bernard Shaw.
[Starring] Kay Hammond, John Clements in excerpts
A special performance before an invited audience at the St. James's Theatre, London.

Tonight's excerpts, in which Miss Hammond and Mr. Clements make their first television appearance, are taken from the first three acts of the play. The curtain goes up on the portico of St. Paul's Church, Covent Garden, and speedily we are introduced to the Eynsford Hills, to Higgins, the authority on phonetics, to Colonel Pickering (played by Nicholas Hannen), another authority, and to Eliza, the bedraggled hoyden of a flower-girl. The new scene is Higgins's study, where soon we encounter that glorious representative of 'the undeserving poor', Alfred Doolittle (played by Charles Victor). And we have enough of the third act in which to meet Higgins's mother (played by Athene Seyler) and to see Eliza's explosive entry into polite society.
