UBIQUITOUS LADY
Sir,-O Editor, Father Editor, hearken ere we die! How much longer are our shrinking ears to be assailed by the strains of that fading lady, Rose Marie? Station 2YA is the worst offender. In a spirit of last-fling desperation she comes, in musical comedy selections (invariably), in orchestral interludes, in recitals by bass-baritones and, spasmodically, before and after the weather fore-
cast, the news and the National Anthem. And does this content our programme arrangers? Perish the thought! With a falseness that out-Burgesses MacLean they then regale us with a rendering by a Western gentleman who transforms the poor girl’s last vestiges of tunefulness into the whistle of an oncoming train, Couldn’t we have the Pavane for a Dead Princess instead?
ONE WHO PREFERS RUE
