Presented by THE ARTS LEAGUE OF SERVICE
For several years now the Arts League of Service has been able to snatch some time from its crowded list of engagements to go to a studio and present a programme for hearing only. The Arts League has probably done more for seeing as well as hearing than any other organisation of its kind. It plays to crowded audiences in the big cities and to small handfuls of people in barns and little village halls, encouraging, wherever it goes, the dramatic-minded to improve their technique in presentation and staging.
Before their advent it was commonly supposed that elaborate fit-up stages were necessary if a play was to go over. The Arts League re-assert with conspicuous success Hamlet's dictum that ' the play's the thing '. Not only in plays but in singing and dancing, the Arts League has demonstrated how the last ounce of dramatic possibility may be extracted from these forms of entertainment.
