I have been unable so far to track down where and when this piece was originally published. It is not, for instance, listed among Caine’s publications in Contento & Stephensen-Payne (2025: 1604). As “The Elegant Ethiopian,” it was read on the radio in Stoke-on-Trent, Monday, February 13, 1928 (“Stoke-on-Trent Radio Children’s Corner,” The Staffordshire Sentinel, Thursday, February 9, 1928, p. 7). During “The Children’s Hour” at 5:15 p.m., Wednesday, February 22, 1928, over the airwaves on callsigns London 2LO and Daventry 5XX, “The Elegant Ethiopian, an extravagant story by William Caine,” was accompanied “with incidental music by the Olof Sextet” (“To-Day’s Broadcasting,” Birmingham Gazette, Wednesday, 22 February, 1928, p. 3; “Broadcasting; To-Day’s Programmes,” The Daily Telegraph, Wednesday, February 22, 1928, p. 18; “To-Night’s Broadcasts,” Evening Despatch, Wednesday, 22 February, 1928, p. 4). On Thursday, March 13, 1930, again during the “Children’s Hour” at 5:15 p.m., “The Elegant Ethiopian” was broadcast nationally, “arranged as a Dialogue Story, with Incidental Music by Genial Jemima [or Gemima]” (“Broadcasting Programmes,” The Daily Mirror, Thursday, March 13, 1930, p. 19; “Broadcasting; To-Day’s Programme,” The Daily Telegraph, Thursday, March 13, 1930, p. 9; “Tonight’s Broadcasts,” Evening Express [Liverpool], Thursday, March 13, 1930, s. 2, p. 6). And again, “The Elegant Ethiopian” was “arranged as a dialogue story” and broadcast nationally during the “Children’s Hour” at 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22, 1930 (“Broadcasting; Programmes,” The Western Morning News and Mercury, Tuesday, April 22, 1930, p. 6).
