Born 1871. the daughter of a j Jewish merchant in Eastern j
Poland. Rosa Luxemburg became -before her brutal death in Berlin in 1919-a key figure in the German revolutionary Communist Party. She is regarded today as one of the most controversial and important figures in the develop- ment of Marxist thought. This broadcast makes use of the comments of contemporaries, and particularly Red Rosa's own writings. to reveal something of her significance and humanity.

Recollections of Robert Farquharson by DAME SYBIL THORNDIKE SIR LEWIS CASSON SIR JOHN GIELGUD
SIR DONALD WOLFIT
VIVIENNE ChATTERTON CARLETON HOBBS and DAVID PEEL
Produced by Douglas Cleverdon
Robert Farquharson , who died a year ago at an age unknown to his friends, played the part of Herod in the first English production of Oscar Wilde's Salome in 1905 Max Beerbohm found his performance especially laudable 'in that he never let his minute expression of Herod's self in all its hideousness interfere with his musical delivery of the elaborate cadences.'
His wit, usually deflating, sometimes venomous, but always apposite. was legendary; with it he combined considerable learning and unexpected kindness to old ladies.
