Traveller's Tale
T must be very hard for those who have spent any length of time on a visit to another country to pick out the particular features of life there which will appeal most to those who stay at home. In broadcast talks; where time and scope are necessarily limited, it seems to be an art in itself. — it is so easy to tell anecdotes of one’s travels that convey very little of real interest to one’s listeners. Vivienne Blamires in her recent series on A New Zealander in South Africa seems to have mastered pretty thoroughly the art of the traveller’s tale; her talk on "Music and Broadcasting" in this series is a very good example of her skill. Taking a subject in which she obviously has very great personal interest, Miss Blamires still manages to compound factual information on the broadcasting service with critical comment and anecdotes of the part she herself played in the musical world there in just the right proportion to give the listener a coherent idea of the set-up.
