An appeal on behalf of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, by Sir Robert Gower , K.C.V.O., O.B.E., M.P., Chairman
For the past 117 years, the R.S.P.C.A. has been working for animal welfare. In wartime the need for its services is intensified. The re-establishment of a Sick and Wounded Horses Fund (such as functioned so well during the Great War of 1914-18) ; assistance with the evacuation of farm stock and domestic animals from danger zones; advice and help in the proper management of poultry, pigs, goats,
. and so on ; the humane destruction of hopelessly injured or unwanted animals ; the salvaging of carcasses for human consumption-these are examples of the Society's wartime work, carried on in addition to normal peacetime activities.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Sir Robert Gower , [address removed]

The play will be introduced by the author
This modern miracle play by the liveliest and most versatile of contemporary playwrights (as those who listened recently to When We are Married and listen again tonight will agree) was one of the big London successes of 1939, and Ralph Richardson 's performance of the dead Mr. Johnson was a theatrical tour de force. It would be difficult to estimate how much the success of the play owed to his remarkable performance.
This final act presents the third, but by no means the final, stage in the adventures after death of Johnson, the modern Everyman. It finds him, having passed the terrors of preliminary examination and the torments of a pleasurable hell, arrived in a temporary paradise where the final desires of his earthly life-his boyish love of books, his old friends, and his deepest love, return to him to re-enact the part they played in shaping his destiny, and also to prepare him for his further mysterious journeyings.
