Scenes from Shakespeare
in scenes from ' Richard III '
Produced by Stephen Thomas
Today for the first time viewers will see Ernest Milton , who is one of the best Shakespearean actors on the London stage. Radio listeners will remember his fine interpretation of Shylock in the radio version of The Merchant of Venice broadcast on January 31. It was his first introduction to Shakespeare that made him decide to become an actor. He was taken as a small boy to see As You Like It performed in the Greek theatre of the University of California, and from that moment his mind was made up.
Beatrix Lehmann , as well as being a leading actress, has a big reputation as a novelist.

Radio Drama from Europe-No. 'STORM OVER SANTA CRUZ'
(Same drama playing concurrently on different local station)
This is the first of the series of representative plays written specially for radio by leading dramatists of foreign countries. All over the world writers of various countries are working for radio, and this series should afford British listeners the opportunity of hearing some of the best radio plays from overseas. It is hoped to include among the plays works from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Hungary, Finland, and Prague.
Storm over Santa Cruz is stirring stuff, and tells the story of what happened during a hurricane that devastated a small town on the island of Cuba in 1932. The principal drama is centred in the telephone exchange in general, and on the character of a girl telephonist in particular.
