A NOTE OF TRIUMPH
Sir--On Sunday last I listened to a most remarkable broadcast "On a Note of Triumph." To me it seemed that at last broadcasting had been raised to the stafus of an independent art, for this extraordinarily moving work could not have been expressed in any other medium. It made all the topical commentaries and features that I have heard seem anaemic and . apologetic. It was boosted well beforehand but I suspect that boosting is as worn a device as "Wolf! Wolf!", for I have met only one other person who heard it. I gather that both National and
_- > Commercial services have copies of this broadcast and I devoutly hope that it may be heard not once again, but many times, for I have heard no better comment on the pre-War and War periods and never such convincing and purely artistic use of the radio technique.
