A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
A mother wrote to remind us of ' a story about Mary Lou , which,' she said, 'my daughter had to miss. She was dreadfully sad about this, as her name is Mary Lou. ' A small child's world is centred upon itself. A story about another child may be delightful, but one about itself gives even greater satisfaction, and we have heard of much happiness when some coincidence of circumstances has made a story specially applicable to a young listener. It was so with this story of Mary Lou , the doll. It is my daughter's birthday today,' wrote another mother, and we gave her walking, talking doll. If you could have seen her face when, sitting by the radio with Elizabeth on her lap, she heard that the story was to be about a walking, talking doll What a thrill for her, and what a coincidence on her birthday!' No doubt these two little girls wiU listen with special pleasure when the two Mary Lou stories, written by R H. Bevan , are broadcast »gain on Thursday and Friday, and we know that there are many others who, without such specific reasons, will like to hear them once more. Elisabeth 4. Taylor

Script by Jonquil Antony
To be repeated tomorrow at 11. 0 a.m. Last week Jemima had her kitrens in the waste-paper salvage sack and Dr. Dale, unaware of the event, gave the sack to the dustman. During lunch Mrs. Dale told the doctor about Jemima having had kittens and to their horror they realised poor Jemima had gone with the sack. When they caught up with the dustman they found Jemima under piles of paper in the salvage depot quite safe with her three kittens, when Mrs. Dale returned from the salvage depot she found Mrs. Skeats very upset because David had been thrown from his horse and broken a bone in his ankle. Mrs. Dale telephoned to Mrs. Owen but she was out, so she spoke to Jenny. Jenny, seizing the opportunity to get to London, made much of the accident so that Mrs. Owen caught the first train to London. They stayed with the Dales at Virginia Lodge and Jenny found herself a job with the Parkwood Hill Repertory Company and begged Mrs. Dale to let her stay with them. Mrs. Dale, thinking it would help Gwen, reluctantly agreed.
