Australian Classic

For B.B.C.

STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

LONDON, Dec. 17.—One of the most ambitious features to be broadcast by the B.B.C. next year will be a serial

dramatisation of Rolf Boldre-

wood's bushranging classic, "Robbery Under Arms."

The cast will be almost entirely Australian.

Adaptation of the novel is by the Australian radio script-writer Rex Rienits, who came to Britain nine months ago.

John Bushelle, who was a leading Sydney radio actor before he came to London three months ago, will play

the hero.

Edward Howell and Mary Ward will play other important

roles.

The serial will be in 10 half-

hour parts and will begin on January 2.
