"Notorious" is Complicated
ADIO producers, like movie script writers, novelists and publishers, know a good thing when they see one, and for them one of the best things in the business is the romantic ,serial. In Notorious, which. is to be broadcast from the four ZB stations, at. 10.0. a.m. on Mondays, and 10.30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays (and which should not be confused with Mr. Hitchcock’s piece of the same name) the heroine through no fault of her own acquires the stigma "notorious," and suffers twelve months in prison for the death of a cyclist in a road accident. As it happens, she was not the driver of the car involved, but she took the blame on herself to clear Tony Mannering, her fiancé, who was hurt in the smash and who would have been apparently hurt more permanently in his prospects and reputation if he had been accused of killing someone. To complicate things still further, Mr. Mannering recovers from his injuries without any recollection of the smash, or even of the fact that he has a fiancée. In fact Mr. M. (Nigel Lovell) becomes engaged to another girl. These developments face the heroine, Mafy Beauclerc (played by Sheila Sewell), when she completes her "stretch," but since such things are not beyond the contrivance of writers the ending is a happy one. Notorious begins from 1ZB on Monday, April 21, from 2ZB on May 1, 3ZB on May 8, '4ZB on May 19, and 2ZA on June 20. It will be heard from 2ZA at 8.0 p.m. on MOE Wedripudnys and Fridays.
