"REGGIE'S" DEBUT
(COMEDY is in demand these days, and the ZB Stations promise listeners plenty of laughs in "Oh, Reggie,!" which takes the air this week. This serial tells of Reginald Fysh, ne’er-do-well son of a London stockbroker, who decides to go to Australia and "make good." His father says: "Your mother and I don't want to be hard on you. But when you arrive at the age of 24 with no further thought or ambition than to let cab-horses loose, overturn milk-cans, and spend the night in gaol, just for fun, then something has got to be done." Unable to stand the family’s "insults" any longer, Reggie borrows £200 from his grandmother, and takes passage to Australia. To his amazement, he discovers on board ship that the old family servant Merryweather, has decided to join him, having had secret yearnings in this direction for many years past. Reginald Fysh is portrayed by Barret Lennard. Lou. Vernon is Merryweather. "Oh, Reggie" will be heard from 1ZB each Thursday at 7.30 p.m., from October 10. Other stations will follow.
