More Voices of Yesterday
LISTENERS will hear the actual voice of Ellen Terry (above) from 2ZB on Wednesday, October 27, at 8.45 p.m. in the series Voices of Yesterday. Ellen Alicia Terry was born at Coventry on February 27, 1848, and died on July 21, 1928. She came of a theatrical family, for her father and mother and her brother and sisters were all members of the acting profession. Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson has said of her: "Everything she did was invested with great charm. I do not suppose there ever was such an Ophelia. Nor do I think there ever will be again. In the theatre she was adored. In the public estimation she became a fetish. Take her for all in all, she is one of the most remarkable figures in the history of the stage." From the other Commercial Stations, James J. Corbett, former heavyweight champion of the world will give his views on health in 1ZB’s session on Monday, October 25, at 6 p.m.; from 3ZB on Friday, October 29, listeners will hear William Hooker Gillette, who will give reminiscences of Mark Twain; and from 4ZB at 6.30 p.m. on the same day the late Amelia Earhart, aviatrix, will speak on the possibilities of flying for women.
