13 JANUARY 1950, Page 13

Footnoted

Noted with gratitude: Mr. John Gielgud's reading of Gerard Manley Hopkins's The Wreck of the Deutschland. But this is a voice that could read Baedeker and make it a linked sweetness. Also noted, caught fortuitously in Woman's Hour: the serial readings from Miss Margaret Lane's The, Tale of Beatrix Potter.
