NORMAN CORWIN
Sir,-You have given so muctr publicity to Norman Corwin and his work that the fBllowing extract from the New York Times Book Review might be of interest to your more critically-inclined readers. "There is no doubt that Mr. Corwin is a first rate radio-craftsman. .... Corwin knows how to put pieces of a script together, has a word-sensitive ear and great talent in the control-room. The sound he makes come out of the’ loud-speaker is very impressive. It has the power of ‘casting a spell on willing subjects. To them, Mr. Corwin is a standard-bearer, broadcasting truth to the world. But the spell depends ‘too much on artifice and is therefore fleeting. It probably never grips those whom it would do most good."
