A Nativity Play in Three Scenes
By Bernard Walke
Relayed from St. Hilary's Church, Marazion, Cornwall
S.B. from Plymouth

One of the most notable of the Christmas broadcasts last year was the relaying of the annual Nativity play from the little church of St. Hilary at Marazion, in the extreme West of Cornwall. The technical difficulties to be surmounted were considerable, but they were conquered, and all the impressive simplicity of this unaffected rustic miracle play was transmitted to listeners who had never had such an experience before. There is every reason to believe that this broadcast will at least not be inferior to last year's.
