NOEL COWARD, who is scheduled to arrive in New Zealand in January for a fortnight’s visit, confesses that he doesn’t know much about New Zealand. He told B. T. Sheil, de-puty-controller of the Commercial Broadcasting Service, who met him in Melbourne, that his first real contact with New Zealand was when two soldiers phoned him at his London flat some months ago.
His sister had told him that the first thing he must do when he arrived in London was phone Noel Coward and say “Hello” from New Zealand. explained one of the soldiers. He had done it, and that was that. “Well, now it’s over.” Coward replied. “why not come round and have a drink.” And so on their first day in London two New Zealanders spent an entertaining hour at Noel Coward’s flat.
