The high-water mark of this series is reached today with a broadcast by one of the most versatile and distinguished men the modern stage has known. Actor, dramatist, author, producer, manager, Granville Barker did brilliant work in the heyday of the Stage Society before joining Vedrenne and giving to the world, among other things, the best of Bernard Shaw.

He has taught and shown throughout his career that in Shakespeare it is Shakespeare that matters - the words and not scenery or pretty pictures; and his productions of The Winter's Tale, Twelfth Night, and A Midsummer Night's Dream, at the Savoy will long be remembered. He also wrote what many consider to be the most readable and helpful series of prefaces to Shakespeare's plays.

Listeners will have an intellectual treat tonight in listening to his argument as to why Shakespeare cannot be interpreted on the screen, and can be interpreted only with limitations over the air.

Next week, incidentally, Alfred Hitchcock and Val Gielgud are to reply for screen and radio respectively.
