[N this series Mr. Stobart and Miss Somerville will illustrate the history of that very attractive branch of poetry-narrative-in its various forms, from the time of the Iliad to the poetry of today. Tho Odyssey and the Æneid, the Canterbury Tales, Paradise Lost, the Faerie Queene , the lays of Scott and Macaulay, the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan --these are some of the famous poems that will be included in their list.

A CENTRIFUGAL tendency distinguishes the intelligent theatre of today, and the drama-lover who has learnt to forsake the West End for the suburbs and the provincial centres now begins to find that even the village has something to contribute to the progress of the art. The amateur spirit, of course, thrives there as nowhere else. In this series of talks
Mrs. Penelope Wheeler , who has had much experience of village play production, will pass on some useful advice to those intending to follow in her footsteps, dealing with all sorts of points, from the choice of a play to stage decoration, and from authors' fees to tho niceties of production.

Listen to 'the parodies that will be read over the microphone ; make your guess at the poet at whom the parodist aimed ; and, instead of turning to page 3 for the correct answer, wait to hear them broadcast at the end.
