DESMOND MACCARTHY
A host of listeners will welcome Mr. Desmond MacCarthy back to the microphone to talk on ' Books in General '. He gave these talks in the spring and summer of last year, and six talks in the cries in 1930. From October, 1931, to July, 1932, he spoke regularly on ' New Books '.
Mr. MacCarthy's last broadcast in this direction was on Charles Lamb at the end of last year, but he has been broadcasting on books, and authors of books, and characters in books, on and off since 1926. No subject under this head comes amiss to him-Thomas Hardy, Samuel Butler , Rossetti, ' Dr. Watson '.
He is of course just as much at home in the theatre, and gave the .talks on the theatre in the autumn of last year. Many listeners will remember his-delightful talk on Henry Arthur Jones.
