Beatrix Lehmann as the Lady Anne, Ernest Milton as Richard, Duke of Gloucester in scenes from "Richard III".
Today for the first time viewers will see Ernest Milton, who is one of the best Shakespearean actors on the London stage. Radio listeners will remember his fine interpretation of Shylock in the radio version of "The Merchant of Venice" broadcast on January 31. It was his first introduction to Shakespeare that made him decide to become an actor. He was taken as a small boy to see "As You Like It" performed in the Greek theatre of the University of California, and from that moment his mind was made up.
Beatrix Lehmann, as well as being a leading actress, has a big reputation as a novelist.
