This play by Arnold Bennett arose out of his novel 'Buried Alive' which was written in 1908, the same year as his 'Old Wives' Tale'. If it was not his most successful book, it was certainly one of his most successful plays. An eminent and eccentric painter changed his identity with his own valet, and possibly the idea and its extravagant complications were better suited to the theatre, or it may be that the play, when first produced by Granville Barker at the Kingsway in 1913, owed its big success to the brilliant acting of Henry Ainley and Wish Wynne.
In the broadcast version Ainley's part will be played by Harold Scott and Wish Wynne's by that charming actress Hilda Trevelyan, the original and some say the only Wendy in Peter Pan.
A. Harding Steerman as Father Looe is the only actor in tonight's cast to play the part he took in the original production, and Cecil Brooking, who is to play Mr. Texel, took this part in the revival at the Haymarket in 1924.

The Rt. Hon. Sir AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN ,
K.G., M.P.
Few would disagree with the choice of Sir Austen Chamberlain to wind up this important series. The man who has represented one constituency for over twenty years is a man in whom his electors believe. In the minds of the people of Great Britain, as in the minds of the majority in West Birmingham, the stature of Sir Austen has grown with the years.
