One Fine Day
. J JSUALLY our radio plays tend to pedestrianism, they are competent but self-controlled, they follow the beaten paths of humour or romance and suppress any desire they may have to go hurdling over the hedges of conventional scriptwriting .or to make themselves airborne on wings of fantasy. Not so One Fina, Day, a play by Emery Bonnet which listeners heard. from 2YC the other Sunday, a play compounded mot merely of dialogue and sound effects (the latter on occasion all too obvious) but of, sugar and spice (Gallic ‘variety) and all things calculated to ft a radio play out of the rut and into ‘the bright upper air. One fine day Apollo, hearing talk of the gods and goddesses of the modern world,. decides to investigate them for himself, and spends the day with a film company on location. His view of the stars in their courses is different from Hedda Hopper’s (his is a daylight trip) and the light he sheds on happenings around him is all beneficent. One Fine Day has verve and wit and grace. It repre».sents the champagne we occasionally get for our 25/- beer money.
