A topical magazine of the arts.
Introduced by Julian Jebb.
This edition includes:

The Shaw Revival
It began with My Fair Lady. Now with three plays running in London (Man and Superman, You Never Can Tell, and The Philanderer) Shaw is once again big box-office. What is behind the revival?

Poetry-on-Tyne
Film cameras go to the Morden Tower in Newcastle's City Wall. This is the centre of a young and flourishing movement which has sprung up around Basil Bunting, poet-friend and contemporary of Ezra Pound.
