HUMOUR, PLEASE!
, Sir,-When tired business men and war workers settle down for the evening the "lowbrows’" look for a few items of humour in the evening’ programme. And what do they get? A whole pro. gramme of Mozart’s 25th Symphony ir A Sharp Major or E Fiat Minor or similar dirges. "Krazy Kapers" is now cut out. The trouble with you birds is that you cater for the highbrows who can sit round the radio all day and listen to that stuff, while the real workers are on their jobs. For Heaven’s sake put some humour into it! And how about staggering the pro gramme a little? How can we listen to Tradesmen’s Entrance and Search for a Playwright when they are on at the same time?
