(Date of original Broadcast, May 21, 1930)
To Mrs. Domus, with her quarrelling children, grumbling husband, and Jittle housekeeping money, comes in a dream everything that can transform her workaday life to an ideal existence.
The extravagancies of this fantasy make for continuous laughter before poor Mrs. Domus wakes up to facts. Matinée was first produced in May, 1930, and is notable as one of the few successful comedies written for broadcasting.

Mr. S. P. B. Mais
Relayed from America
(In co-operation with The National Broadcasting Company of America)
Leaving Phoenix, Arizona, behind, Mr. Mais has gone on by Los Angeles to San Francisco, from where he speaks tonight. San Francisco, with its Golden Gate, is the cosmopolis of the Pacific Slope. Scene of the gold rush and silver boom of the 'forties, ravaged by the earthquake and fire of 1906, it is among the most interesting and fascinating of American cities.
