Spoken-word dramatic recording performed by Ada Jones and Len Spencer, presenting a topical “street scene” centred on suffragette activism. Issued during the height of the suffrage campaign. Amberol cylinders of this period were designed for repeated domestic playback, and topical suffrage titles such as this survive in small numbers.
