' Going to the Theatre'
HAROLD CHILD
The chances of the invention of any apparatus similar to H. G. Wells 's Time Machine are extremely remote. With a historical guide like Harold Child-the well-known author and journalist and writer on The Times-the need is considerably lessened. Hearing his talk this evening, listeners will be fascinated by the ease with which he can transport his hearers back to the London of George III. They will be taken to a performance at Drury Lane Theatre—how different from a West End playhouse of today !and then escorted home with the help of a linkboy's torch.
Life goes on ; the act remains the same, and only the manner of it changes. In his next talk in this series, on May 3, Arthur Bryant is to discuss how we travelled in days gone by.
