A biography by CHRISTOPHER ST. JOHN
Read by Marie Lohr
Arranged for broadcasting in six episodes by Mollie Greenhalgh
Produced by Audrey Cameron CHAPTER 3
Chapter 2 described Ellen Terry's lecture tours in Australia and New Zealand where, despite a troublesome heart condition, she enjoyed considerable success. In 1914, however, the outbreak of war put an end to her plan for a world tour, and she came home. An operation for a cataract gave her failing eyesight a new hope. She began a second family life with her grandchildren, Nelly and Teddy, and took as much pleasure in them as she had done in her own children.
