Mtebe9 That Troublesome Child

"J FEEL I shouldn't be in show business, as every

*? show-no matter how small-is a first night for mc," says Bebe Scott, well-known radio personality. "Anyone who has worked with me will tell you that I either swear at them or burst into tears!"

Miss Scott, who has been in stage and radio-"for years" -started her career in Fuller's

ballet.

"Wc were playing in New Zealand when the leading lady was taken to hospital, and I fell into her part," she added, "I know this sounds like a gag, but it is absolutely

true!"

It was. at this stage that "Bebe the Troublesome Child" was bom, and it is as this child that radio audiences know her best.

Recently she co-starred with Neva Carr-Glynn in "Ladies in Retirement" from the A.B.C., and will read the Tuesday Night Story"Chocolates for Mum," by Arthur Oliver-on 2FC at . 10.15 p.m. next Tuesday.

"But I talk about Bebe the T.C. as though she was my own child and not me personally," she says.

"There have been one or two terrible occasions when I have played the dual role of Bebe's mother and Bebe, and after speaking mother's lines have waited for someone to come out and speak Bebe's," she said.
