on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

WHEN the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston died in 1925, one of the most interesting figures passed out of the world of affairs. From tho day when he was labelled by an Oxford epigram as a very superior person ' to the time when he returned from India in viceregal glory to enter on a new career as Foreign Secretary, ho was a character whose extraordinary success was redeemed from dullness by his equally extraordinary personal characteristics-for he was in many ways an eighteenth-century oligarch, born out of his time. Tonight Lord Ronaldshay, another Indian proconsul,' who recently published the first volume of the official biography of Lord Curzon, will give some reminiscences of that remarkable man.
