Wilfrid Thomas, Australian baritone with exceptional London platform and microphone experience; also an attractive purveyor of light entertainment. Lonely women, foreigners living in England, often write asking me to play gramophone records over the BBC which will remind them of their home lands. Their new neighbors do not understand them, and so they leave them alone. Both parties are the poorer. The English women might learn how to use their meat rations more imaginatively from the strange ones, who would blossom and give at the feeling' of being wanted. The foreign ones would cure their gnawing home-sickness, which distorts reality, in enjoyment of the things this country offers. February 11, 1952.
