★ The well-known child-impersonator in his latest sketch
This brilliant child-impersonator has been broadcasting regularly since 1927. He confesses in his book ' Harry Hemsley 's Stories for Children', ', published last year, that he has studied the psychology of children and gathered together their quaint remarks and observations for years. In the early part of his career he was a child-portrait painter. Memories of his sitters and of cousins, nieces, and nephews are embodied in the imaginary children he portrays so inimitably in story, and on the halls, and on the air.

As the chanting of the ' Miserere ' announces that the prisoner's last hour has come, Leonora appears and offers herself to the Count as the price for Manrico's life. The Count agrees and Leonora goes to tell Manrico in his dungeon that he is free, but she has taken poison and presently dies in his arms. Furious at the deception the Count sends Manrico off to instant death. At this point Azucena, seeing Manrico dead, reveals to the horror-stricken Count that he has murdered his own brother. Her mother is avenged at last.
