Percy Fletcher was born in Derby. He was a clever composer of light music and was experienced in every department of the theatrical profession from the box office to the stage door. For years he was musical director of His Majesty's Theatre, conducting the remarkable run of Chu Chin Chow. Besides theatre music he produced a quantity of tuneful light music, of which this programme is a good example.
A fairy tale retold, with words and music by Henry Reed
Produced by David Porter
This, one of the best of Hans Andersen 's stories, is the one about the two rogues who pretended to weave a cloth for the emperor so marvellous in texture that the stupid and incapable would be unable to see it. They clothe him in nothing, and in nothing he rides out.
Henry Reed , who is responsible for the music and script of more and more fairy tales, has followed the story fairly closely. But he has given the two weavers names-Tweedle and Twoddle-and introduced a love, interest. Wynne Ajello , once more playing a princess, falls in love with the King's third secretary, and listeners will hear the twist she gives to the plot. This Henry Reed version is being broadcast for the first time.
