A talk by Onlooker
Every week speakers come to the microphone able to talk with authority about subjects which the war has made of national, or even world, importance. There are other sides of these subjects-there are other subjects altogether-which are being talked about, and sometimes being worried about, by men and women in every home, bus, and railway carriage. These are the sort of things which Onlooker, beginning tonight, will choose for his weekly talk on current happenings, doings, and sayings of the week. He hopes that listeners will themselves suggest topics to him.
' Onlooker' hides a personality well known to many listeners j but hitherto his voice has rarely been heard on the wireless.
