Gabriele d'Annunzio's play, based on the love-story of Paolo and Francesca, will be broadcast from 5GB Tonight at 8.0 and from London and Daventry tomorrow night. Full details of the production will be found on p. 583

The tragic love of Paolo and Francesca has fascinated artists as well as men of letters. Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-82), the most striking figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, painted a triptych representing three scenes in their lives, of which the first section, showing the lovers' first embrace as they pause in reading the fatal romance, is reproduced herewith. (Hollyer Photo.) A painting by Ingres (1780-1867) is reproduced on p. 583.
