Script by Billy Thatcher
(Continued in next column)
Mrs. Dale went to see Elsie Freeman and was told that she had gone, leaving no address. A letter arrived later in the week from Elsie asking Mrs. Dafe to meet her. Both Dr. Dale and Mrs. Freeman were against her- going, but Mrs. Dale was determined. Julie Randall went to stay with Charles Lamont for a weekend when Trevor was coming to London. Trevor waited for her at her home and they had a serious row. Annie Platt arrived in Italy and Fulton was not pleased when she clearly expected to stay some time.
Productions by Betty Davies and John R. Hopkins
