Dr. KAREL Capek
THIS EVENING we are to be seen through the eyes of the famous Czechoslovakian playwright, author, and journalist, Karel Capek , who, by his play R.U.R., introduced the word Robot into the English language. This fantastic melodrama was broadcast in the National and Regional programmes on July 13 and 14, 1933. Karel Căäpek's Letters from England ', illustrated by himself, were based on a journey he made in England, Wales and Scotland.
Next Monday will be given the first of four broadcasts on ' Modern Industry and National Character '.
