THIS is the last of the ' Literary Criticisms talks that have been given by distinguished visitors whilst Mr. Desmond McCarthy was on holiday, for he himself returns to the microphone next Monday week. Mr. Ralph Straus , who will deputize for him tonight, is well known as a novelist, his books including ' The Unseemly Adventure,' ' Our Wiser Sons,' and ' Married Alive.'

By now the most unobservant citizen cannot fail to have noticed on the streets largo hoardings bearing very artistic inducements to him to take more interest in the life of his fellow-subjects of the Empire overseas. Tonight Mr. Howard, the author of 'The Emigrant,' will give a first-hand impression of life in the Antipodes, which should do much to make listeners realize how the up-country farmers in Australia really live and should help to clear up the misconceptions about Australia which it is easy for those unable themselves to visit the Dominion to acquire.
