This afternoon the Royal Navy meet the Army at Twickenham, and the game will now be described by Mr. H. P. Marshall , the old Oxford Blue and Harlequin forward, and co-author with W...W. Wakefield of the book on modem Rugby that has already become a standard work.

Mr. James Stephens reading from his own works

As the author of 'The Crock of Gold,' if for no other reason, Mr. James Stephens would be entitled to a place in the front rank of living writers. In addition, however, to this famous fantasy, and to the other that many judges consider a better book - 'The Demi Gods' - he has written some lovely poetry, which was recently published in a collected form, and when he forsakes the 'Celtic twilight' for the street-lamps of Paris, Dublin, and London his work has those keen qualities of perception, sympathy and irony that distinguish 'Hero are Ladies' and 'The Charwoman's Daughter.' His new book, 'Etched in Moonlight,' is being eagerly awaited in literary circles both here and in the United States.

RADIO revues are one of the brightest features of the broadcast programmes, and a new revuo on the air is as eagerly awaited by its own audience as a new revue on the stage. Tonight's production has many points in its favour. Mr. du Gardo Peach, who has written the ' book,' is one of the most versatile of humorists, and he has ample experience of microphone technique. The east includes many broadcast favourites, headed by Morris Harvey , probably the cleverest revue comedian in the country, who has very recently given provincial listeners a taste of the quality that gave him such a reputation with London theatregoers in the days of The Nine O'clock Revue.
