TRACEY ULLMAN KENNY IRELAND JOHN HARDING JOHN BETT JOHN STANDING ALEC McCOWEN In 1890, a nineyear-old girl named Daisy Ashford sat down and wrote a novel called The Young V isiters. The pencil-written manuscript was read 25 years later by J M Barrie who acclaimed it a work of genius which had to be published. And published it was in 1919, with Daisy's unique spelling, and was an immediate success. It centres on Alfred Salteena, an elderly' man of 42, who is fond of having people to stay with him. Ethel Monticue, one of his 'friends', is taken by Mr Salteena to meet a rich friend, Bernard Clark, for Mr Salteena aspires to be a 'gentleman'. Climbing up the social ladder, Mr Salteena actually meets the Prince of Wales, but in the meantime the dastardly Bernard is taking the fickle Ethel to the Gaierty Hotel... and Mr Salteena gets 'rather jellus'. See pages 47 and 146

This prizewinning film by Christopher Nupen, David Findlay and Peter Heelas, is not a documentary account of events in this great composer's life.
