' Lord Northcliffe'
Tom Clarke
Here is an intimate talk by the author of ' My Northcliffe Diary', about the creator of the popular Press as we know it today. Tom Clarke will speak of the many-sided character of ' the Chief '-his passion for the telephone as well as his interest in the different birds frequenting the gardens of his country house ; the pleasure that was his when he tried on Napoleon's hat at Fontainebleau and found that it fitted him, as well as his interest in children ; his domination and dynamic energy as well as his ' peculiar facility for making you feel, when he was talking to you, that you were the most important person in the world to him '.
