Spectator Spring Number
Next week's Spectator will be a special Spring Number. The bill of contents is headed by a new one-act play by Laurence Housman—the latest addition to the series already familiar to playgoers and filmgoers. It deals with the old Queen Victoria's memories of the faithful ghillie John Brown, and it has all the intimacy and lightness of touch of the earlier Housman plays on the life of Victoria. Also in the Spring Number will be an important critical article by Stephen Spender on the poetic plays of Christopher Fry, a piece by Dr. Charles Hill, M.P., on electioneering, and three articles particularly concerned with foreign travel by D. W. Brogan, Dudley Noble and Freya Stark. Other outstanding contributors are Peter Fleming, Lionel Hale, Marghanita Laski, Walter de la Mare, Harold Nicolson and L. A. G. Strong. The Books Section will also be specially enlarged and the issue as a whole will contain about 60 pages.
