A CHILDREN'S PLAY
Sir,-I have just listened to a play in the 3YA Children’s session, "The Navy’s Here" which admirably portrayed the magnificent courage of British prisoners on board the German prison ship Altmark, who were ultimately rescued by the Cossack off the coast of Norway. It was. presented by two boys, "The Rovers,’ whom I have often heard on the air, and I am sure that they, and " Major" too, would like to know that it was much appreciated. All of their plays that I have heard, both in theme and style of presentation, compare very favourably with many of the productions broadcast in
the evening sessions, for their appeal is directed mainly towards the adolescent and adult listeners. When one considers that many of the imported serials and plays heard are of doubtful educational value, it seems a pity that more play-writing contests are not conducted by both Broadcasting Services to exploit such talent to the full. I have not yet heard from any other station plays of a serious nature which are both written and acted by boys, or girls, and produced regularly in the Children’s Session, so " Major" is to be congratulated on his
enterprise.-
