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. Contributors Reginald Beckwith Produced By
