THE pageant of Nature is at its grandest-if not at its loveliest-in Autumn, and in this series of talks Mr. Eric Parker , of The Field, will try to open people's eyes to its progress. He will talk of autumn birds and butterflies and blossoms, trees and seeds, the fall of the leaves, the evergreens and the food and shelter of the winter birds, and of those nooks where spring seems to nestle whilst winter still holds the land in its icy grasp.

DOES the man who travels in seventy-miles-an-hour expresses, telephones to California and listens to radio programmes from all over Europe, think faster than the man who walks from his eottago to his field, works with clumsy tools all day, and never goes farther than his market town 7 Maybe ho does ; and maybe, he accepts new ideas more readily; but are his critical powers any stronger? The relation between the physical conditions of men's lives and their mental outlook will be Mr. Lambert's subject, and he will illustrate it by reference to England in the last three hundred years.

A NEW series of talks by Sir Oliver Lodge is an event that causes a widespread stir amongst the radio public, for he is one of the most popular of all broadcast talkers, and many people who listen to no other talks never fail to hear his. In this series he will describe the rise of modern astronomy and the great achievements of those pioneers who blazed the trail, starting with Copernicus, who gave his name to the theory that the earth moves round the sun.

A Farce in One Act by Edwin LEWIS
Characters :
PLEASE picture Mrs. Entwistle's kitchen about that time of night when the hero and heroine on the films are kissing in their final close-up, and the audience are searching for mislaid gloves, hats and handkerchiefs, and the young people are releasing hands at the threat of sudden lights.
Sarah and Hannah are discussing the destinies of the young folk, and as every woman is a born matehmaker, they have been doing what you expect. These two ladies have witnessed that
—electric phenomenon, the transfer of attention from late Victorian melodrama to the modern film super-melodrama, but Sarah remains unimpressed; She is very practical and knows that the way to make things happen is not to hope so much as to pull the strings. Just now, like the writer of film melodrama, she is arranging her scenario for the entertainment.
THIS is the first of a series of talks in which
the great centres of Europe, and the people who live in them, will be described by men who know them well. Sir William Goode , who is now Unofficial Adviser to the Hungarian Government, has had a wide and varied experience of men and affairs.
