The Scottish National Players are on tour again for the ninth year in succession and are visiting the Aberdeen studios to give their annual broadcast. These summer tours have done a great deal to stimulate interest in drama in the smaller towns and country places and to improve the standard of production and acting. Only one member of this year's company has the distinction of taking part in all the tours. The Players' equipment in 1927, he remembers, rather resembled that for a voyage of exploration up the Zambesi River. They carried almost everything except gunpowder. Not a single member of the cast at that time had ever attempted to erect a fit-up stage and few had slept under canvas. At least three members have since achieved distinction : Tyrone Guthrie , one of the most talented of modem producers ; Elliot Mason , who recently finished a very successful run in Grief goes over ; and Ethel Lewis , now attached to the Old Vic Theatre. Both the plays they will perform tonight have been heard before, but are well worth revival.
