A story of ' The Club of Queer Trades', by G. K. Chesterton , adapted for broadcasting, and produced, by Douglas Cleverdon
Cast
When last year, various episodes from Chesterton's ' Club of Queer Trades' were broadcast, they proved themselves ideal microphone material and attracted great popular attention. Tonight's episode was heard in this group, and is probably the best of them all.
Major Brown not unnaturally found it alarming when, chancing to look over a garden wall, he saw the words 'Death to Major Brown' written in flowers. This, however, was perhaps the least of the alarming and inexplicable incidents which occurred to this innocent individual during the time that followed.
Needless to say the Major finds a sound, if very extraordinary, reason for the occurrences, a reason that is in itself an introduction to ' The Club of Queer Trades '.

Although James Whitehead's first appearance was as a singer (at the age of four he sang at a concert for wounded soldiers), he became, like his father and grandfather before him, a cellist. He was a member of the London Symphony Orchestra and of the New English Trio, and has played as principal cellist in the orchestra at Glyndebourne.
Norman Tucker won the Dannreuther Prize at the Royal College of Music, and played the Brahms B flat concerto with Sir Thomas Beecham conducting. He has appeared at the Three Choirs Festival and at the Winchester Festival, and has played concertos all over the country.
