STORIES AND PLAYS
NZBS Shows from ZB's Sons, bl new NZBS producboth plays and recorded short stories, are going the rounds of the ZB stations at the present time, and five will be heard on Sunday evening, May 4. Some Sailors Care, which will be found in 1ZB’s programme at 9/30 p.m., is a story by an Australian author, George Mulgrue, and is narrated by Dermot: Cathie. It is a weird tale, about a man and woman who go for a cruise in a small yacht and run into all sorts of strange psychic phenomena. Also narrated by Dermot Cathie is the story of The Barber Who Spoke Only on Sundays which 2ZB is featuring at the same hour. Written by W. Glyn Jones, this yarn is about the Welsh, and is told in Welsh dialect-but instead of being the rather grim type of tale which so often comes out of the,Principality these days, this is an amusing story. The Wrong Way Round (from 3ZB at 9.15 p.m.) is a play by the English writer Norman Edwards, and concerns a murder which didn’t quite work out as planned. Another play, this time a comedy by H. R. Jeans, entitled Jubilee for Sir Jeremy, is to be broadcast by 4ZB, after the chimes at 9.0 p.m. Jubilee is all about a statue which comes to life, endowed with the irritating faculty of being able to bring other statues to life also, and, conversely, of petrifying ordinary mortals in their most unguarded moments. Dermot Cathie’s voice will also be heard from 2ZA in the short story Blessed Are the Meek (at 6.30. p.m.). Like Some Sailors Care, this is a story of the supernatural and the sea, written by a Polish author, Ratislav Fedoseyev.
