THE SHINGLING OF JUPITER. By Ewan Agnew. (Palmer. 35. 6d.)
BENEATH this provocative title Mr. Ewan Agnew has written an attractive little play. The moral is : when one's dreams come true they are no longer one's dreams. The play is about an astral visitor who, on an intelligence mission to the earth, calls at the Richmond house of a retired Civil Servant and, falling in love with his daughter, somewhat ungallantly sends her back to Jupiter in his aeroplane without him. There are some amusing conversations between young men in the Air Force, in the Foreign Office, and in the literary profession. The play would certainly be a find for many amateur societies. It offers no technical difficulties in pro- duction; it has the right number of men and women charac- ters; it should not prove too difficult to act.
