He started in England with the BBC and went to Canada in 1936. Ann | started in Canadian radio, then | came to Britain and hooked up| with the BBC, PESTERED PRODUCERS "lI just kept pestering British producers until I finally got an acting role," said the dark-haired Miss Murray, whose face now is familiar to millions of Britain's TV viewers.

She was | also heard in a sound radio pro- duction by Val Geilgud called "Hope of Britain." This was com- pletely in verse and Ann says it gave her a 'real kick." STROKE OF LUCK Her luckiest break so far--she's keeping her fingers crossed--is a chance to audition for the position of guest announcer, who takes over for regular announcers, when the need arises. "It's a wonderful chance for those who are chosen," said Ann in an interview. The 'last guest an- nouncer, Noelle Middleton, a dark- | haired Irish girl, was offered film, | stage and radio parts shortly after her first appearance. : Miss Murray has made a docu- mentary appeal film for the St. John Ambulance Brigade and an- other documentary is on schedule.
