Broadcast with 'Triumph'

Simon Lanchester (a Bachelor) - Harold Cluff
Jimmy Todd (his friend) - T.A. Crossley
Jane Beaumont (his ideal) - Hylda Metcalf
Edna May (her friend) - Edith Toms
Richards (Simon’s valet) - Charles Nesbitt

In the previous play we requested listeners to recall a season which is past, and in this we ask you to imagine one which we hope is in store.

A hot summer afternoon finds Richards engaged in tidying up his master’s apartment, in an exclusive hotel in Brightport.

His labours are interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Todd. Had the latter foreseen the predicament in which his visit to Brightport was eventually to place him, he might never have undertaken it.
