A serial version of a new novel by J. B. Priestley
The tenth instalment read by Eric Gillett
'We've come here to do business and we're not going to be diddled and bullied out of it', Hope Ollerton had said, and Mr. Hassock's party returned to the battle for the licence of the little market hall. They are still faced by the law upholding anybody but them, but this time they have as allies the re-formed Dunbury Town Band, and practically all the heartier townspeople. This instalment works up to a grand scrimmage, with the troupe of course inevitably routed, but so far as the townspeople are concerned, 'one up ' again.

with the BBC Variety Orchestra and the Revue Chorus, conducted by Louis Levy
Compere, John Watt
' Our Gracie '-perhaps more than anybody else entertaining today-touches the hearts of all of us, as the message she personally broadcast after her serious illness amply proved. As a man in the street, one among a crowd waiting for her to arrive at the sutburban music-hall she was appearing at, once said: ' She's no ordinary woman. She's good to us poor people.'
She was the making of a provincial revue, Mr. Tower of London, which ran for seven years, and appeared with Gerald du Maurier at the St. James's Theatre in SOS. She has played in New York, sung French songs in Paris, and toured South Africa, where she auctioned her hat for £5 at a fete for the blind, and then bought one for 4s. lid. And that is typical of Gracie Fields.
