"THE VANISHING ISLAND"
Sir,-I should like to express my | thanks to the NZBS for the excellent play, The Vanishing Island, It shows that when there is change based on the absolute standards of love, honesty, purity and unselfishness, there is hope for unity between men and nations, and for the whole world-an inspiring vision of the future. Could it be that B.E.G.M. and Sebastian found it Gilbertian merely by associating it with Ivan Menzies? I egree with B.E.G.M. that the music is charming and melodious. The clarity: of the words and the feeling put into this production makes it outstanding and worthy of repetition, which I hope will be: possible. Sir Beverley Baxter has said that it is one of the best musical shows London has seen for a long time. I should like to suggest a little introduction to the play. and to each act, as}
an explanation.
