Voices closely associated with the earliest pages of the 'Itma' story are heard again tonight. No better broadcast of 'Itma' could be chosen than the three hundredth performance as a tribute to Tommy Handley, who was mourned by a multitude of listeners exactly two years ago. This programme, which was first broadcast on October 28, 1948, is especially appropriate, since among the guests who celebrated the occasion were some of the early 'Itma' stalwarts, including Dorothy Summers (Mrs. Mopp), Dino Galvani (Signor So-so), Horace Percival (Don't forget the diver), Sydney Keith (Sam Scram), Clarence Wright (Nice day - I'll call again), and Lind Joyce.
