A Victorian Playgoer the book by rate ikkry cwelgud, edited by MURIEL ST CLAne BYRNE, arranged for radio by nevili.e teller Sir John Gielgud's mother was an inveterate playgoer all her life and she wrote down her impressions of what she saw.

This afternoon her distinguished actor son reads a selection, bringing to mind many of the legendary stage stars at the turn of the century. Producer GRAHAM GAUL"D long tcave only

Victoria is busy planning her wedding to a much older Oxford don. To her surprise, she starts receiving postcards dating from the First World War, which trace the development of a passionate relationship during those troubled times. In a state of some ambivalence about her own future, she becomes obsessed by the postcards. Who is sending them and why?

A Royal Subject
The Queen of the United Kingdom and Her other Realms and Territories is therefore Queen of such disparate countries as Australia. Canada, The Bahamas and Jamaica. Michael Manley, former Prime Minister of Jamaica, argues that the British Monarchy is an impediment to their self-determination - imposing on them institutions and hierarchies both alien and irrelevant to their citizens and their cultures. Before an invited audience, including loyal Monarchists and staunch Republicans - royal subjects from both hemispheres - he has just ten minutes to make his case. Desmond Wilcox referees the ensuing debate. This, the second of four outside broadcasts, comes from the Commonwealth Institute. London.
