In 1775 Joshua Steele published An Essay towards establishing the melody and measure of speech, to be expressed and perpetuated by peculiar symbols. From a transcription the book contains it is possible to reproduce the manner in which Garrick delivered the ' To be or not to be ' soliloquy in Hamlet.

First of three talks by J. Clyde Mitchell
Professor of African Studies,
University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland
The Kalela dance is currentlv the most popular among Africans on the Copperbelt. It is a tribal form of dance but is distinguished by the smart European clothes which are obligatory and the ' European ' roles-King, Doctor, Sister -of the principal dancers. Dr. Mitchell reflects on the social meaning of the dance, which he believes throws considerable light on African relations not only to Europeans but to each other.
