Songs for Several Voices by Thomas Whythorne (1571)
Sung by The WIRELESS Singers
Grace before Meat Grace after Meat
It doth me good when Zeph'rus reigns The doubtful state that I possess As thy shadow itself apply'th
It doth belong more of good right Give not thy mind to heaviness

Philip Allingham had a nervous stammer and was told he could cure it by the practice of talking to strangers.
So he began asking policemen the way to all kinds of odd places he had no intention of going to. He was so successful that the gift of the gab is now the greatest asset in his profession, that of a Cheapjack. He sells hair wavers in markets and fairs all over the country. But before then he tried all kinds of jobs, and among others, told fortunes with great success. He discovered that men always explain when they come in that they think it's all nonsense, and they have only come as a joke; but when he tells them that all their successes in life have been achieved by their own unaided efforts he at once gets their undivided attention. As for the women... but all this he will describe for your amusement in this very breezy talk.

The action of the play takes place at the very beginning of the nineteenth century, first in Venice, later in the little German state of Wurtemburg. Author's Note.-The story, which attempts a fantastic explanation for Weber's writing Invitation to the Dance, is purely imaginary and has no basis in historical fact.
Musical Numbers
(*By GEORGE POSFORD, in addition to Weber's famous work which is used in the production.)
(This play was broadcast in the Regional programme last night)
