THE couple seen here overlooking their radio-script will be heard together in due course in the new ZB session "Theatre Royal." The saturnine citizen on the right should need no introduction. He is, of course, Orson Welles, the one-time enfant terrible of Hollywood, star of Carol Reed’s film "The Third Man," and of the radioe serial "The Lives of Harry Lime," which made dramatic capital out of "The Third Man’s" popularity. With him is Diana Decker. She is a busy young American actress who came to Britain as a child, and who has found it easy, and profitable, to hang on to her American accent. You have probably heard her on the air before, for she played opposite Mr. Welles in the Harry Lime series, and she has appeared, too, in ‘Variety Bandbox." They will be heard together in "Theatre Royal," when Sir Laurence Olivier presents Pushkin’s story "The Queen of Spades."
