Script-writer Jonquil Antony , who always meant to go on the stage, got a job in the crowd of The Good Companions. She received 25s. a week and somehow managed to live on it during the twelve months' run of the show. She walked on in The Miracle and then went to Stratfordon-Avon for a season, playing in small parts. She was in the chorus of the Drury Lane pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk in which Binnie Hale climbed the beanstalk twice a day with the St. Christopher Medal sewn in her blouse to prevent her from falling! Jonquil met John Pudney and became a regular contributor to feature programmes.
