 Curtain Up! Robert Beattv in 'A SOLDIER FOR CHRISTMAS'

by Reginald Beckwith 

Produced by Cleland Finn

The Fergusons are a nice, untidy family and they live in a nice, untidy house

near London. It is a wartime Christmas and a distinctly varied house-party has

collected .......... there is the head of the house. Philip, who works in the

Ministry of Something-or-Other; his unceasingly harassed wife; daughter

Phoebe. still trailing clouds of Girton; Brenda, who once made the mistake of

marrying an M.P.; a young evacuated scientist; and an ex-housemaid who

joined the NAAFI and now reappears as a billettee. Being kindly folk, the

Fergusons have also invited a neighbouring army camp to send a soldier to

stay for the week―end—recreation, for the purpose of. Reginald Beckwith's

amiable and amusing comedy tells what happens when a charming,

free-and-easy Canadian arrives and creates havoc among the female half of

'the household. It is rather like an excursion into the Esther

McCracken-Dodie Smith country, with additional riot provided by a

communist-minded ' char ' who rides a tricycle and reads ' War and Peace,' a

local lady who belongs to the Oxford Group, and the cook. Concerning the

latter, we have only space to say that Mrs. Ferguson made a grave

miscalculation when she imagined that ' Cook, Progressive,' in an

advertisement, meant simp'y one who knew about pressure cooking.
