THIS talk opens a series of six in which Mr.
St. John Ervine will discuss 'The Modern
Drama '—a subject on which he is one of the best-known controversialists of the day. His weekly articles in The Observer never fail to challenge at least one section of opinion, and he will be remembered particularly for his recent campaign against the ' refined ' accent, conducted with all his accustomed virulence and fire. Besides being a practised critic, he has much personal experience of the modern theatre.
