in a new adventure series adapted for broadcasting by James Parish , from the well-known story by Leslie Charteris
2—'The Policeman with Wings '
Produced by Peter Creswell
Terence de Marney leapt into fame with his broadcasts as the hero in the memorable Monte Cristo serial rather more than two years ago. In the same year he broadcast as Gerard in another serial, The Cloister and the Hearth.
His mother was an Irishwoman and an actress and her parents were both well-known artists in their day. Terence's younger brother Derek is a film actor as well known as himself. The brothers are so alike-only eighteen months between them-that Terence got letters congratulating him on Young and Innocent and Derek got letters congratulating him on Monte Cristo.
