In this attractive and informative book, the author, who is also a past Chairman of the British Clematis Society, introduces his readers to the idea of growing the rose and the clematis together so that the beauty of one plant may enhance and be enhanced by that of the other.
He points out that the climbing rose is the natural companion or partner of the clematis and when the two are grown together, the overall effect can be dramatic.

This musical adaptation of J B Priestley's 1929 novel follows the fortunes of pierrot troupe the Dinky Doos, after their leader and pianist run off together with the cash box.
There's unemployed Jess Oakroyd (Graham Kent), who leaves his ailing marriage in Yorkshire now that the children are independent; wealthy Miss Trant (Helen Goldwyn), at a loose end after the death of her father; and songwriting schoolteacher Inigo Jollifant (Oliver Chopping), who meets up with musical tramp Morton Mitcham (Duncan Wisbey) on the road.
The new Wolsey's deep stage is used to good effect in this production, and designer Richard Foxton's constructed proscenium with red plush curtains and boxes provides a handsome fixed frame for the troupe's travels, and a reminder of the comfortable residency they aspire to.

 The Good Companions (1933)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
It's a marvellous adaptation of J. Priestly's story of three individuals who are prodded by events into taking to the open road and who subsequently meet up with each other and a small troupe of entertainers called the Dinky Doos.
They all decide, over a shared evening meal, to join together and form a new group called "The Good Companions." As they travel around England, Jessie Matthews (one of the Doos) gets larger and larger billing.
In so many of her films, Matthews plays an ingenue waiting to be discovered, and never for a moment does one feel that this is a writer's convention as is so often the case (think Joan Crawford's "dancing" being discovered in DANCING LADY).
