RADIO ENUNCIATION
Sir,—Any adverse criticism of Miss Marsh’s excellent address on Sunday evening last could be expected only from those who find the cap fits. I entirely agree with all Miss Marsh said, and, being very allergic to nasal, babbling, and slurred careless speech (of which there is a surfeit in this country to-day in spite of the ignorant resentment of criticism of a certain section of the community) it was a pleasure, indeed, to listen to Miss Marsh’s beautifully modulated voice and excellent enunciation. I heartily agree with her that only the best of every type of entertainment should be given, and that there is urgent need for censorship. One has only to consider the following two examples, among many, inflicted on a long suffering public: “Cawfee in the morning and kisses in the night,” and, again, “When you get to India, remember wot I bin to yer.” Shades of Chopin! —Yours, etc., \ A.W. October 1, 1947.
