"THE TOY CART"
Sir,-Permit me to express my extreme pleasure in the recent studio performance from 1YA of "The Toy Cart"an excellent play, splendidly acted! If the "Powers that Be" only realised how much it meant to country listeners, denied by petrol restrictions all former relaxations of this sort, we would have more of these treats. At the end of a long day’s toil on the farm, without the diversion of even a visit from a salesman or passing neighbour sometimes for weeks on end, it is indeed a refreshment to be entertained by something other than ballad singers, good, bad and indifferent, and eternal orchestras. Serials are all very well, but are somewhat unsatisfactory, and the war newsreel is only a summary of what one has already heard several times, so that studio presentations of worthwhile plays are the most desirable substitute for the occasional outing to the pictures from which country folk are now cut off. My thanks to the Auckland Repertory Society for a most enjoyable evening. May there be many more to come-and soon.
I.M.
