Diana Wynyard and Clive Brook, - the stars of "Cavalcade" ETO, again together in R.K.0.-Radio's romantic comedy "Where Sinners Meet now at the King's Theatre.
K
The story, adapted from A. A. Milne's "The Dover Road", is an extromely subtle comedy, inter- spersed with genuine, drama. deals with the dilemma of English husbands-and.wives, who find them- selves chained, to each other for life.
The claim of some furists that it is better to grant.divorces in the preliminary stages of marital un- happiness than to permit it to drag along for years, is humorously ex- pounded.
Bille Burke, Reginali Owen, Alan Mowbray, Phyllis Barry, and Walter Armitage lend excellent support.
