Among the less strenuous talks the following are worth your
attention during the coming season : "Strange Music," an illustrated, first-hand study of the music of out-of-the-way places, the first two examples of which are to be broadcast by Mr. J. B. Trend, on Spain, and by Mr. Richard Hughes, on North Africa ; "The Making of a Play," during the course of which Macbeth will be considered, week by week, from the producer's point of view (Mr. Harcourt Williams), the actor's point of view (Mr. John Gielgud), and the artist-designer's point of view (Mr. Albert Rutherston); and, in February. April, a series called" Workers in Europe," wherein individual foreign workers will come to the microphone to compare their conditions with English workers engaged in similar occupa- tions. Then there are changes in the regular series : Mr. Basil de Selineourt and Mr. R. Ellis Roberts, for instance, are the new book critics ; Mr. St. John Ervine will look at the theatre for us ; and an anonymous critic, " Argus," will tell us what is what in the cinema.
