BURNS NICHT.
Sir,-I' was interested and . amused when I read "Kilmarnock Lassie’s" letter concerning 2ZB’s Robert Burns programme. Personally I enjoyed every bit of it and had no idea there were so many flaws in it till I read her letter. I come from Glasgow myself but can’t say I’m qualified to know the kind of speech spoken in every part of it, so I’m, perhaps, being rather rash in saying that I didn’t hear anything wrong in that programme. I did, in fact, enjoy every
minute of it and could have listened to a lot more. I rather thought it must have been recorded-in Scotland and was surprised to learn it was done ‘here. So I congratulate the actors, who, in my humble opinion, made a fine job of it. I hope they won’t be scared. off by "Kilmarnock Lassie’s" letter and refrain from attempting similar programmes, I'd like to assure them that every Scot in the’ country did not writhe or even wriggle. I noticed, however, that the writer of one Radio Viewsreel paragraph was more or less in agreement with your correspondent, but as he admits to not being a Scotchman his opinion is neither here nor there.
GLESCA' LASSIE
