A play by Anthony Gilbert
Cast
Produced by M. H. Allen
Here is the first of three or four plays which have been specially written by Anthony Gilbert for production by Mary Allen. Each is an amusing story about a rather high-flown London pickpocket, who has a way with him.
The first play opens in a crowded
London street-in a shopping centre, where Grace and Milly are gazing at an attractive siren suite. Then comes a scream: ' My bracelet has been stolen!' Is it the man selling matches, with a patch over one eye ? Is it the striking-looking man with golden hair and beard ? Which it is, and what eventuates, is told in this first thrilling little play. Listeners will surely want to hear the next.
