THIS WEEK'S PLAYS

From 3YA Christchurch tonight the Christchurch Players are to present "The Girl with the Tattered Glove," Written by the popular radio-dramatist Edmund Barclay, this play is one of his best efforts. The characters are strongly drawn and the story will hold the listeners' attention to the very end. It is of the story within a story type and listeners who tune in to 3YA tonight are assured of an hour of entertaining radio-drama. On Sunday night next at 8.45 p.m., !3YA, Christchurch is to present Shake[speare's "Hamlet." This tragedy,, one

of the greatest ever written, has been adapted and produced 'toy the N. 8.5., and lovers of Shakespeare will find once^ again that the poet's work loses little in a radio adaptation. This is the fifth Shakespeare play to be recorded by the N.B\S. and several others are to be produced in the near future. A radio version of "Storm in a Tea Cup" is to be broadcast from 2YA on Wednesday next at 9.5 p.m. This play, by James Bridie, the well-known Scottish dramatist and author of such successful plays as "The Anatomist," "The Black Eye," and "The Sleeping Clergyman," proved extremely popular when \ produced in London. It is a hilarious comedy in which robust Irish and Scottish characters are brought into vivid contrast. The broadcast will be produced by W. S. Wauchop with the same cast with whom he is this week presenting the play on the stage for the Wellington Repertory Society. v
