5.15 The Children's Hour
'High Tide,' a sketch by Harold Reese
' The Gardener,' No. 4
Here is a first play by an author who is only sixteen but has already acquired a working knowledge of what is wanted at the microphone.
You all know Harold Reese. He has been the most consistently successful boy-actor in Children's Hour. He has taken part in nearly all Arthur Davenport's plays, and made a big success of the boy king, Richard, in L. du Garde Peach 's 'Rebellion of Wat Tyler', in the Tower of London Series.
Harold Reese has also played Jim Hawkins in Treasure Island, on the stage, both here and in Australia. But however clever boy-actors are, sooner or later their voices break or they get too big, and then they have to wait a bit until they can bloom forth as stage young men.
So, in view of that possible time of 'resting', Harold has used his broadcasting experience to write High Tide, and all of you will wish him the best of luck.

Relayed from Sadler's Wells Theatre
NOT ONLY is London deeply indebted to the joint enterprise of the Old Vic and Sadler's Wells Theatres, but broadcasting, also. Miss Lilian Baylis , C.H., directs a company that, for wealth of repertory, has no rival in London-
1 Londoners assert no rival in the world.
With this Gala Night ends a season that has been shared by audiences in the flesh with listeners who have been present in spirit all over the kingdom. On sixteen occasions acts from the performances of operas have been relayed from Sadler's Wells and six from the Old Vic. Several have been outside what may be called the stock repertory, and include Rimsky-Korsakov's The Snow Maiden and Tsar Saltan , Dame Ethel Smyth 's The Boatswain's Mate, an act from which was broadcast for the first time, and Arthur Benjamin 's The Devil Take Her, a new opera which was broadcast in its entirety only a few days after its first performance at Sadler's Wells. Add to these the Puccini operas, Verdi's Otello. Mozart's Figaro and Magic Flute, Gounod's Faust, Bizet's Carmen, Gluck's Orpheus, and the usual repertory props Tannhäuser, Il Trovatore , La Traviata, and The Barber of Seville, and the repertory is revealed as one which the Grand Season at Covent
Garden could hardly improve upon.
