Talk on American home life, by Horace Annesley Vachell
Although most of his novels have been essentially English in character-what could be more English than the character of Joe Quinney , or that great public school story, ' The Hill ' ? ?-Horace Annesley Vachell has lived for many years in America. During the seventeen years that he spent in the United States he had ample opportunity to study his neighbours and to live himself the life of one of them.
Thousands of young Americans are over here seeing British people for the first time, and also for the first time being seen by British people. In his talk this morning, Vachell will tell his listeners just what Uncle Sam at home looks like through the eyes of an Englishman who knows them very well indeed.
