A Change from Serials
HOPE that 1ZB and the sponsors of the weekly session called One Way And Another succeed in their attempt to interest listeners in the technique of radio plays. Two plays each week are written around the same set of clues-
for fmstance, "a car moving, a revolver shot, an aeroplane warming up." The authors are chosen, it would seem, by invitation, and besides the interest of seeing what two different .people will do with the
same clues, there is the excitement of wondering which of our local celebrities will next appear as playwright. Production is good, and comments — though only very polite ones-are made by the producer. My only general criticism is that too many of the plays are concerned with violence, either because of the nature @f the clues, or because it is difficult within the space of a very few minutes to obtain an effect by other means; but I should like to see more scope given to human nature in its more gentle and humorous aspects.
