THIS AFTERNOON R. M. Y. Gleadowe is to give the last of his talks in this series, and the subject matter for today is, ' Some Crafts '.
He will show how common sense and honesty have combined with skill and invention to enable our craftsmen to excel in all the crafts which the great material resources of Britain have fostered.
Our woodworkers, for instance, have contrived big feats in engineering, in ships, roofs, and bridges, and subtle delicate forms for use and beauty.
British craftsmanship is, above all, adaptable, and has been equal to any refinement which purpose, tact, or fashion has demanded.
Mr. Gleadowe will speak of brick-layers, plasterers, lead-founders; of goldsmiths, potters, and glass-blowers. And he will conclude these broadcasts, which he has given every Sunday since January 14, on a high note of optimism. The best of British Art is yet to come.

by VLADIMIR ROSING (tenor) VLADIMIR ROSING, born in Petrograd in 1890, studied singing under Jean de Reszke, amongst others, and at the same time read for the Bar. He made his debut as Lensky in Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin, and first appeared in London twenty years ago. He has toured the world, and in 1923 was made head'of the, opera class at the Eastman School of Music, at the same time as Eugene Goossens was conducting the orchestra there. Rosing exercises the same magnetic force over his audiences as do a few great singers, such, for instance, as Chaliapin. He is at his finest in the songs of his compatriots, and has done his best to make them known to the world. Rosing's recitals are, by the way, models of programme-making.

GEORGE CRABBE
By the Rev. Canon A. C. DEANE,
M.A.
THERE was all the promise of romance in the life of George Crabbe (1754 to 1832). He was a poor boy, born at Aldeburgh, Suffolk, brought up anyhow, apprenticed to this doctor and that, sent on errands when he wanted to learn about making pills. He dared to love a girl above his station in life, and she to love him; but she didn't quite dare to marry him.
He set up as a doctor and failed.
Borrowed five pounds, sailed to London, spent his money on his appearance, and tried to impress editors.
When, thanks to Burke, he had taken holy orders as the most suitable career, and was presented to the chaplaincy of the Rutlands, Sarah at last consented to marry him.
But from now on, romance smiled on him no longer. Crabbe had no social side to consolidate the position he had gained at Belvoir ; five of their seven children died ; and, in 1813, Sarah died, too.
But Crabbe was given the living of Trowbridge in 1814. When he visited London in 1817 he was famous. Murray gave him £3,000 for ' Tales of the Halls ' in 1819. But one suspects it was all gall and wormwood. Cardinal Newman and [Scott jpraised his verse. ' Though nature's sternest painter, yet the best,' wrote Byron. An old man, kind, but disillusioned, Crabbe played with his grandchildren and died.
