Also, there are three new series of talks of particular
interest beginning during the course of the week. On Monday night Commander Stephen King-Hall, who shares with Mr. Vernon Bartlett an unusual ability in the popular explanation of world-affairs, will open a series during the course of which he will cross-examine an economic expert on the questions of the hour. He has already invited listeners to tell him what questions they would like him to put to his opponent, Mr. N. F. Hall, and has received an encouraging response. The series is called " The Economist in the Witness-Box." On Friday, Mr. J. B. Priestley, who seems to have taken kindly to the microphone method of addressing the world, begins a weekly causerie called I'll Tell you Everything "-a -title which certainly offers him plenty of scope. And then on Saturday night Mr. James Agate is to broadcast the first of his " Stars in their Courses " series, in which he will corppare famous actors and actresses in the roles they have made memorable. The 'actors he has chosen for his first talk are Sir Herbert Tree, Lewis Waller and Arthur Bourchier.
