DIPLOMAT WOULD DO
ACTOR WITH SATANIC VOICE LONDON, Nov. 15. An actor with a guaranteed Satanic accent is sought by the British Broadcasting 'Corporation for a 'play based on Milton “Paradise Lost.” The producer is uncertain whether to secure a Mephistophelean bass or .a seductive tenor. Mr Bernard Shaw, as the author of “The Devil’s Disciple,” thinks that the quality is immaterial.
