Barbara Mullen and Eric Portman in extracts from 'JEANNIE' by Aimee Stuart now being presented by Howard Wyndham and Bronson Albery at Wyndham's Theatre
The play produced in the theatre by Irene Hentschel and for broadcasting by Bruce Belfrage
While Jeannie deals with one of the dramatist's favourite situations-that of the little 'nobody' who inherits money and sets off to buy romance with it - it carries through the idea with unusual charm. Jeannie, a little Scotswoman who has been the essence of domesticity all her life, suddenly finds herself in Vienna tasting life in terms of grand hotels, Gypsy bands, and noblemen.
The play has proved a great success at Wyndham's Theatre, though many listeners heard it before this production when it was first broadcast as a radio play some years ago.
