Alice at the BBC
TATION 3YA had a five-minute recording recently based on the Tweedledum-Tweedledee and HumptyDumpty episodes 4
of Through the Looking Glass. It was an interesting experiment, hard to judge because of its breyity, to make Tweedledum speak BBC and T w eedledee a rich Lancashire accent; but Alice, I regret to
say, was a brat, falling short of the unfailing courtesy and sweet reasonableness of her great original. However, the voice of the small girl must be about the hardest thing imaginable to broadcast; and how many small girls are equal to Alice, anyway?
