Listeners have heard many other successful shows by Gladys and Clay, notably Rogues and Rhythm, broadcast in 1936. In the present revival
Gladys Keyes is to broadcast in the part of Meggie, created on the air by Bertha Willmott. Horace Percival is the only other representative of the original cast.
