Before the war Gale Pedrick, radio correspondent of The Star, was an indefatigable worker for radio. He contributed innumerable scripts for broadcasting and outside the Corporation maintained the lively standard of criticism of one wholly interested in his subject. Pedrick is now Entertainments Officer for the Western Command, and has been instrumental in producing innumerable shows for officers and men on the spot, as well as doing a fair amount of work for the microphone. His play this evening might be described as a psychological study. Its hero is an Austrian violinist, who coming to England, joins the Pioneer Corps, dislikes it and thinks of nothing but his violin.
