Max Beerbohm on the Air
Compiled from BBC recorded archives and produced with commentary by Douglas Cleverdon
This is the first of two programmes celebrating the centenary of the birth on 24 August 1872 of 'the Incomparable Max' (as Bernard Shaw first called him). It consists of passages from his own impeccable broadcasts and from adaptions (to use his own correct term) of such stories as The Happy Hypocrite (With DEBORAH KERR as Jenny Mere) and Zuleika Dobson (with Michael Hordern as the Duke of Dorset).
(Max, his friends and his enemies: page 11) followed by an Interlude

ROBERT NOWELL , author and critic, examines the history of celibacy in the Roman Catholic Church and the present resistance to change. Is it a matter of rational argument - or does the old hostility to sex bite deeper?

Part 2 Brahms

(A public concert given In the Queen Elizabeth Hall , London, on 10 February. A Kirckman Concert Society promotion)
