Howard Marshall
What more dramatic than being in London this week, except, perhaps, an account of it? The tenseness and preparation, and yet the calmness; a glimpse of those who hold the destiny of England in their hands going quietly to and fro; the ideal before us all, and the symbol of it everywhere. Who better than Howard Marshall could describe it?
His deep voice, his lack of hesitation, his power of filling in the colour of the scene he is describing, whether it be the missing of Hammond in a Test Match, when, as Guy Pocock said in a recent article in The Listener, 'one could almost see the fielder dazzled by the sun'; whether it be the Coronation, or a boxing match, or the wonderful talk he gave the other day on the evacuation of school children, Howard Marshall has, to quote Pocock again, 'his broadcast in hand and plays on his audience with quiet confidence'.
