NZBS PLAYS
Sir.-I have just read letters from M.M. (Upper Hutt) and "Natural Voice" (Wellington) on the NZBS plays, and feel like expressing my views definitely in favour of all the actors and actresses who take part in these excellent plays. They are all good, and in my opinion have been very well cast. In many cases they*are very versatile, and anything but monotonous. | For some time the names in the cast were not given after the play, and it’s nice to know who did take the parts. Most likely M.M. and "Natural Voice" thought, in those days, the plays were jolly good, and probably BBC, as actually the only difference, as far as I can see, is BBC or NZBS. If you don’t know
which-well, there’s no difference; and for a country the size of New Zealand it’s something to be proud of, to be able to produce so many who are so good out of two million instead of 50 million. I send my congratulations, and hope we shall be able to listen to plays for a long time.
