This production is the first of a new series, to be broadcast under this, title in the Midland Region ; and Daventry listeners are to be present at the launching of the series. They will find plenty of entertainment in the mixed programme that it provides. Topping the bill is a playlet appropriately entitled The Mystery of the Christmas Bells. The author has based it on an actual incident which occurred at
Christmas time when Houdini, who had the knack of escaping from anything and everything, hoodwinked the Mayor and Mayoress of a Midland town. The artists who make up the remainder of the programme are all well known to Midland listeners, and several of them have previously broadcast to the wider audience, notably
Hugh E. Wright , who has taken part, as compere, in many Variety programmes, and Janet Joye , who has tonight a five field for her impersonations, as she will set out to show how some of the Hollywood celebrities keep Christmas Day.
