A series ofsix talks on Augustus Hare by Humphrey Higgens
Well known in his day as a raconteur and a writer of travel-guides, Augustus Hare published, at the end of the last century, his memoirs in six fat volumes. ' Seldom,' says Mr. Somerset Maugham, * can a work have been received with such a unanimity of hostile criticism.'
In this first talk Humphrey Higgens gives an account of Hare's most unhappy childhood.

Talk by Athene Seyler
Miss Seyler has played many leading parts in the course of her long stage career, but she thinks there is much to be said for playing the smaller ones. ' So often,' she says, ' a short, fat part is more rewarding than a long, thin one.' She quotes, as an example, the part of the Old Lady in Henry VIII , which she played at the Old Vic. ' It was like the sensation of jumping over a blue puddle on a bright windy day.'
