THE STATION ORCHESTRA
Babylonian Nights (an Ancient Story) Zamecnik
'FANTASY'
A New Lancashire Comedy by J. C. SPENCE
To find the correct solution in a newspaper competition and to share the prize money with many other successful competitors does not at first sight present a very novel situation. In this play, however, the consequences are distinctly original.
' THIRTY-ONE '
A New Play by H. W. TWYMAN
This is a one-act play written specially for broadcasting and described by the author as ' a coincidental fragment.' Indeed, he goes further, and admits that the long arm of coincidence may be almost dislocated by the strain which it has to bear.
