"GREEN FOR DANGER"
Sir-I have just’ read in The Listener that Green For Danger is to be heard over various stations in six half-hour weekly sessions. I wonder why this production is not put on in one three-hour broadcast, from 7-10 on a Saturday evening, so that the many people who are not able to go out could have the pledsure of hearing a play from beginning to end. We all know that thrillers are among the most popular books of to-day, and one of these plays every other Saturday night alternating with a straight play or comedy
would give much pleasure. And why not; put on works such as Galsworthy’s In Chancery three times a week for one hour each time instead of once weekly? ' Throughout New Zealand people sit by the radio night after night and all they can hear are half-hour plays, bits of serials, or gramophone records of songs taken from operas, etc. There rarely seems the opportunity of hearing anything right through at one session. I notice many people write to The Listener asking for changes in programme, but little change seems to be
made.
HOPEFUL
