LITERARY RECITALS
Sir.-Why is it that we must only hear recorded readings of such all-round favourites as "The White Cliffs" and "This My Son" when Wellington surely can produce someone who would give us some of the fine recitals from literary works that ali listeners know and
appreciate? At competition time we rately hear anything of the elocutionary section relayed-a ballet or a tap is far sweeter! Nor can I ever recall] having heard a studio performance by an elocutionist. Surely, sir, the National stations can afford us such a pleasure. If not, we shall be like the late Malcolm McEachern "Coming Up from Somerset’ -we shall come up from Tatfanaki!
