"Aunt Jean"
EAN LE PETIT, of 1YA, has been absent from the "mike" for some weeks now, but her many young friends will be glad to hear that she will be returning to her old session shortly. "Aunt Jean" has been connected with the Friday evening Children’s Session
since 1928, when she began as honorary assistant to the late James Culford Bell — "Nod." She will be remembered for the interesting topical verses which she presented every Friday for a period of four years-which works out to something over 1000 verses. Many of them were printed in The Radio Record. It was she who was responsible for the
very successful game of "radio pictures" in which children were required to close their eyes while "Aunt Jean" described a picture, and later to draw it and send it in to the studio, When asked what children like best in a radio session, "Aunt Jean" replies: "An announcer with a pleasant voice, and items by children."
