| CAN recommend Young Chippy? a BBC play written by Lewis Grant Wallace; to children of all ages from seven to seventy. It was played in such a sincere. manner that the sentimental incident of the youngster and his bicycle seemed no fantasy, but just one of those incredible things which sometimes happen, strange as it may seem. I can’t understand why such a late hour as 10.10 p.m. should have been chosen for its presentation-a time when, one hopes, only grown-ups would be listening. Admittedly, any grown-up save the embittered cynic would love Chippy, but thinking of the scores of young people for whom the boy would be a living embodiment of their own desires and hopes, I regretted that 4YA hadn’t put the play on at another time -say just before tea on a Sunday evening. Perhaps it isn’t too late to hope that we may hear it repeated at some such time, ,
