"Emma" on the Air
HE radio adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel Emma, which some consider her best, is coming first to 1ZB on Mondays at 10.0 a.m., beginning this Monday, April 10. It will follow at the other Commercial stations. Brenda Dunrich (who is seen above in character) takes the part of Emma Woodhouse, the heroine, whose romantic but annoying habit of matchmaking leads to endless mistakes and patchingsup. John Tate, radio star figuring in Big Sister and The Doctors CaseBook, now becomes the rich and handsome young master of Donwell Abbey. Mr. Woodhouse is played by Harold Meade, who is already well known to regular serial listeners. But even better known is the voice which they will hear in the role of the voluble Miss Batesit is that of "Maggie Everybody."
