All one happy family, Our Time 1941

All one happy family appeared in the first issue of Our Time. The periodical Beatrix was editing in 1941. It came across as a fictional presentation of actual events. It was about the "Uncle" of the actors who was getting people jobs and basically ripping them off in the guise of "we are all family". Uncle Harry represented the producers of the day (I'm sure reading some more background reading I'd be able to figure out who he was representing). He took advantage of his actors, getting rich of their work. He was against them unionising, and against them becoming politically active. The scene where he told off the actress for wanting to be involved in politics was the most interesting to me. These were obviously arguments that Beatrix had heard and been told because of her growing political concern in the 30s and 40s. It was really interesting to have this inside perspective.
