by William Shakespeare
All for Love, Dryden's version of the tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra, was broadcast a fortnight ago. This evening the more famous version by Shakespeare is to be broadcast once again.
Leon Quartermaine , who plays
Antony, has acted in Shakespeare with Ben Greet , Tree, and Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson ; he has played Malvolio both in New York and at the Old Vic ; and he was in all three of Granville Barker 's productions at the Savoy, as the Clown in The Winter's Tale, Aguecheek in Twelfth Night, and Flute in A Midsummer Night's Dream. In 1913 he appeared as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet at the Lyric, when Ellen Terry played the Nurse, and is now appearing as Jaques in As You Like It at the New Theatre. Listeners may remember his broadcast of Don Pedro in the last presentation of Much Ado About Nothing.
Margaret Rawlings , this evening's
Cleopatra, is among the best of our younger actresses. In November, 1935, she created the part of Katharine O'Shea in Parnell in New York, and has been playing it until recently at the New Theatre. A year ago she broadcast as Cassandra in Cymbeline.
