The long-standing war between the British Bioadeasting Company and the

theatrical managers has broken out once more. This time one of the managers, Mr. Donald Calthrop, has cut himself off from his Association, and allowed his productions to be broadcast ; and we hear that his example is being followed. We can only express again our astonishment at the attitude of the Managers' Association to broadcasting. The cumulative effect of broadcasting plays and portions of plays will be to increase audiences at the theatres.
