Three Scenes from R. S. SURTEES' Famous Sporting Novel, 'HANDLEY CROSS'
Arranged for Broadcasting by B. 0. MARCH Presented by VICTOR SMYTHE
Performed by the STATION REPERTORY PLAYERS
MR. JORROCKS was a great city grocer of the old school. A natural-born sportsman, his lot being cast behind a counter instead of in the country, is one of those frolics of fortune that there is no accounting for. To remedy the error of the blind goddess, Mr. Jorrocks had taken to hunting as soon as he could keep a horse. He was no rider, but had an almost intuitive knowledge of the run of a fox. The ambition of his lie was realized when he became Master of the Handley Cross Fox-Hounds.
