Sir,-I would like to compliment the broadcasting authorities, and the Wellington casts in particular, for the fine performances recently presented in plays from the network. I call to mind The Passion and the Pity as an example of a fine performance on the part of all members; also the smooth-running Cox and Box. The Young Mrs. Barrington is another I liked enormously, and there are others whose titles.elude me, but which I remember as coming from the Wellington studios, The Christchurch casts, and those in Dunedin, too, are excellent, and New Zealand should be grateful to these people for some really fine productions. May they continue to turn out such outstanding performances. I am inclined to wish they would not put on too many fantasies, as these are difficult to follow in the form of radio plays; they depend on décor and illusion for their success. Let’s have more of these plays, and less of the Radio Roadhouse type of "mutual admiration" nonsense. RADIO FAN (Wellington).
