Children's Newsreel

The Scarlet Daffodil
Adapted for television by Dorothy Clewes from her book The Adventure of the Scarlet Daffodil.
(Second performance next Sunday)
(Timothy Brooking is appearing in 'The King and I' at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London; Margharita Parry appears by permission of H.M. Tennent, Ltd.)

Mr. Hadley is a Police Inspector but he is also a very keen gardener and specially interested in growing flowers. He lives in Tilford Park, an imaginary suburb of London, and has three children: Peter (played by Bunny May, whom you may remember seeing recently in Mr. Dooley); Eileen (played by Mary Webster, who is seventeen years old and a newcomer to television); and Bobbie (played by Sonny Doran, who appeared in The Sleeping Princess at Christmas time). Incidentally, Robert Moore, who plays Inspector Hadley, was once a policeman himself before he took up acting as a career.
Mr. Hadley's great ambition is to grow a scarlet daffodil, and he gets the children to help. He gives them some bulbs and-but you must watch to find out what happens, and very exciting it is.
