NZBS PLAYS
Sir,-There recently appeared in The Listener two letters complaining of the "harsh and monotonous" voices of some of the studio players. It is to be regretted that neither writer tempered his somewhat caustic criticism with a note of appreciation of their acting ability. However, we had a hearty laugh over
the first writer being "forced" to listen to the plays. Evidently he did not realise that, to put himself out of his misery, he had only to rise from his chair, dash to the radio and apply finger and thumb to the little knob. If the exertion of rising and dashing proved too much for him, he could easily move his chair alongside the radio, when only finger and thumb action would be necessary, Although as a family we are fond of music, when it is good, we look forward to and much enjoy the studio plays. I feel that we and many others owe a hearty vote of thanks to the selector, procucers and players for the delightful entertainment they give us week by week, The plays are well chosen, full of interest, and many of them need very delicate and artistic handling. This is achieved in a manner that would do credit to the lauded BBC. We wish them all success in .their work and look forward to many more delightful hours in their company,
SATISFIED FEILDINGITES
