LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A SPECIAL REQUEST
Sir, —If my memory serves aright, W. S. Gilbert, in "The Pirates of Penzance," states that February 29, 1940, is the date upon which PilotPirate Frederick comes of age. If that is so, the radio authorities would confer a great favour upon thousands of old fogeys like myself if they would celebrate the occasion bv broadcasting a recorded production of The Pirates on Thursday evening next instead of the customary jazz and "swing" items. A commemorative musical treat on the famous 29th would be welcome. Can doP H.T.G.
