(From West)
It is four years since the last Facet programme was broadcast. The idea is to show how very differently the same dramatic theme can be handled by different authors, the theme chosen this week being that of ' All's Fair '. Today Regional listeners are to hear excerpts from plays on this theme by authors as varied as Galsworthy, St. John Ervine , and Macdonald Hastings (Western listeners also heard these same playwrights on Monday). Tonight and on Saturday, on the Western wavelength only, listeners will hear how the same theme is treated by two further selections of playwrights.

Peter Cornelius , author, poet, and composer, and one of the leaders of the self-styled ' New German' school, of music which gathered round Liszt at Weimar in the middle of last century, had been dead a good many years before his work began to receive its fair share of success. The comic opera, The Barber of Baghdad, was performed only once in his lifetime.
