Realistic Romance After being something less than complimentary last Friday

to the Light Programme's Drama Week I do a little handsome word-eating about their production of The Hopkins Manuscript. It brillianfly caught the suspense and excitement of Mr. Sherriff's realistic-romantic story of the collision of the moon with the earth. BIB just as one swallow doesn't make a summer, one success doesn't make a drama week. LIONEL HALE.
