The company that is to present this programme was formed about a year ago. It is entirely self-supporting, without resources of any kind other than an abundance of creative ability. Helga Burgess, who is Irish, founded the company, and for this television show she has written a character sketch of a Dublin flower-woman, 'Sweet Violets'. Victoria Kingsley, the mask-maker, sings Spanish songs to guitar accompaniment; Elinor Shan is a talented impressionist; and Archie Harradine sings folk songs.
