by Andrè Breton with musique concrete by Maurice Jarre
Produced by Andrè Almuro
Nadia Etoilee is a radio arrangement of Andrè Breton 's book Nadja, published in 1928. Nadia was a real girl, who came into his life 'comme une ame errante,' and the work follows their relationship through until he mysteriously loses all trace of her; later he found that she had gone into a mental hospital. Andre Breton , who lives in Paris, is the leader of the surrealist movement, and is one of its most eloquent spokesmen.
This production in French has been recorded in Paris by Radiodiffusion-Television Francaise. The cast includes Roger Blin , who directed and acted in the Paris production of Waiting for Godot.

Talk by Theodore Gillman
Professor of Physiology,
University of Natal, Durban
Professor Gillman examines the nature of chronic malnutrition as distinct from specific deficiency diseases. He believes that the distinction is often misunderstood, and the prospect of relief on so large a scale made remote by the fact (first revealed by his own research) that the addition of nutrients to inadequate diets of single staple foods can actually precipitate disease.
