Donald Wolfit in A Knight in the Theatre
A series of four plays set in Edwardian London by Ernest Dudley
4: A Leading Lady
The role of Society Beauty need not imply the possession of any great dramatic talent. But even in the theatre a gamble sometimes succeeds-and a bold experiment in casting may pay unexpected dividends.
Produced by ARCHIE CAMPBELL
Broadcast on July 9. 1967
