Now Chickabiddies....
ONCE there was a Children’s Crusade. Will there ever be a Children’s Revolution against the way they are addressed by public entertainers? This reflection occurred to me while listening
to the narrator of our old friend "Peter and the Wolf"; this cooing and yodelling and over-emphasis really should be restrained. F am sure that I abandoned Children’s Hours at the age of nine or so for very much this reason, and I doubt my uniqueness. The really interesting thing, however, about what Wodehouse called the "Uncle Woggly to His Chicks" manner is its virtual identity with the adult advertisement voice that comes, horribly intimate over radio and film-telling us what we already knew about the advertiser’s attitude to his public.
