THIS evening, in the course of his series of talks, Mr. Knights passes on from the psychology to the technique of salesmanship. He deals with the ideal selling personality, the extent of influence of the personal factor, and the fundamental principles upon which selling technique should be based.
Entertainer at the Piano

T ISTENERS to the series of talks on Aims and Ideals in the, Theatre' have now heard confessions of faith by representative producers high-brow and low ; producers of musical
. comedy, Shakespeare-in-modem-dress,
Restoration revival, spectacle at Drury Lane, amateur productions at Cam-bridge, and strange plays by authors with stranger names. Tonight the B.B.C.'s dramatic critic will sum up the total result, and those people who cannot quite resolve for themselves the differing viewpoints of the various talkers will be glad of the assistance of Mr. Agate's thorough knowledge of the theatre and robust common-sense.

As conductor, composer, pianist, and enthusiast in the best interests of music, Great Britain, his adopted country, owes Sir George Henschel more than there is room to set forth in these columns. As singer, too, to his own accompaniment, particularly of Schubert's songs, he has a very strong hold on our affections. But that ho can give himself wholeheartedly to the mirthful side of music, as he does so successfully in this comic opera, need astonish no one who knows the buoyant vitality which makes him in his seventy-ninth year one of the youngest people in England. His collaborator, W.D. Howells, who died in 1920, held a distinguished position in the world of letters. A Sea Change, a burlesque opera in what was in those days the popular style, was first published in America in the 'nineties, but until tonight, has never been performed in England.
