' Three Elizabethan Actors-AHeyn , Richard Burbage , and Will Kemp' G. B. HARRISON , Ph.D. (Reader in English Literature in the University of London)
IT is not known how ' Ned ' Alleyn came to take up the stage as a profession, but in 1592, when he was twenty-six, he was referred to as one of the four greatest English actors of the day. He was lucky in being attached to the Earl of Nottingham's Company and so having the opportunity to play the leads for Marlowe. Readers of THE RADIO
Times will remember that he was the original Dr. Faustus at the Rose Theatre in 1594. In that year he acquired an interest in the famous baiting house in Southwark. Became Royal Bear Master in 1604. Richard Burbage was brought up in the profession and made his debut ,in his father's theatre in Shoreditch as a boy. When still in his 'teens he had made a reputation in the Earl of Leicester's company, and was comparatively soon the most popular actor of the day.
Will Kemp, comic actor and dancer, probably won his spurs with Burbage in the Earl of Leicester's Company. Played a buffooning part with Alleyn at the Rose Theatre in 1592 ; won fame as Shakespeare's clowns, and notoriety by dancing from London to Norwich as readers of THE RADIO Times know.

An appeal on behalf of The Metropolitan Hospital Sunday Fund by the Rev. Archibald Fleming, D.D.
Hospital Sunday, June 3, gives the churches of all denominations a splendid opportunity of showing their interest in the alleviation of suffering in a practical and valuable way, and of testifying to the power of religion as a factor in the battle against human misery. Almost 2,000 congregations contribute to the Hospital Sunday Fund, and it is hoped that this year their urgently needed support will be more liberal than ever.
This appeal affords an opportunity of helping over 220 medical institutions in the Metropolitan area, including some 150 hospitals, 30 dispensaries, and 40 nursing associations, in addition to nearly 30 convalescent homes in the country. Thus the public is not called upon to help only one charity among hundreds, for here it is possible to assist no fewer than 250 of these charities with a single donation.
Founded in 1872, this Fund is one of the oldest general funds in aid of the hospitals. Since that date it has distributed over £3,000,000, not £1 of which is given without the varying needs of participating charities being carefully investigated by a special committee, which makes all its grants within a few weeks of Hospital Sunday.
