Appeal on behalf of The Order of Charity British Section
(Registered in accordance with the National Assistance Act 1948) by Lady Hamilton, O.B.E.
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Lady Hamilton, The Order of Charity, [address removed]
There are at present more than fifteen million people in the world who are suffering from leprosy. The Order of Charity, a lay society which is international and inter-denominational, was founded to draw attention to this great evil and to bring help to the victims of the disease. Today, the Eighth World Day for Leprosy Sufferers, Lady Hamilton is appealing for the British Section, which sends aid to India, Pakistan, and Malaya.

by JOHN GALSWORTHY
Dramatised as a serial in ten parts by Muriel Levy with Rachel Gurney , Carleton Hobbs
Part Nine
Produced by Robin Midgley and Val Gielgud
The case against Clare Corven and Tony Croom is under way. Without attracting much sympathy, Gerald has stated his case against his wife. Clare is called and admits that her husband repeatedly asked her to return to him; also that she knew Tony Croom was in love with her. But she refuses to say what made her leave her husband.
Eventually she is unable to restrain her anger against the prosecuting counsel, and Dinny and the whole family fear that her sarcastic replies may create an unfavourable impression.

Sir Donald Wolfit actor
When Sir Donald Wolfit's knighthood was announced in June 1957 it was said of him:
'He is Shakespeare's bailiff. Donald Wolfit would act in the village square if there were no theatre. He would act in the rain if there were no more of an audience than four men and a dog.'
In this recorded conversation Sir Donald talks of his life as a player and actor-manager from the days when he became a student with Charles Doran's Shakespeare Company some forty years ago. His views on acting, on critics, and on the condition of the contemporary theatre are as forthright as his performances on the stage.
