First- Niglit Atmosphere Again

... Dear Brutus (Globe) THERE was more of the atmosphere of the normal first night about the launching of the revival of Dear Brutus (although, of course, it took place in the afternoon) than about any other theatrical occasion since last summer. The stalls were crowded with stage and other celebrities those of them old enough to remem ber the original production of the play in 1917, with ...

A Touch of Colour

... Although most of the garden space will be turned over willingly to vegetable growing, there will be many who will draw courage and hope from the cultivation of a few flowers, and this they can do without injury to the national effort. By our Horticultural Correspondent ELABORATE summer bedding schemes this year will have to go by the board, but those with facilities for raising annuals in the ...

Sterilised Soil Beats Pests

... SOIL sterilisation is the gardener's greatest aid to success in the cultivation of plants grown in greenhouses and frames. In few instances is its efficacy more apparent than in melon and cucumber culture, as it is an almost infallible remedy against two diffi cult obstacles which many experienced gar deners have been unable to overcome. I refer to damping off, a fungus disease which causes ...

Thatching

... ^HATCHING, alas, is a dying art, and many farmers, though willing to pay good money, have not been able to find the men to do the work a hard circumstance, in view of the heavy penalty which the Government imposes for neglect in not covering stacks, etc. Inevitably, machines have to do the work, and while in the pictures above we show men engaged in reed thatching, one of the most beautiful ...

Their membership of eighty-eight has dwindled to fourteen and they have only two of the old First XI. left. In this match with the ...

A 74 But Proud of It

... A J4 It ait Proud of It I DO not count myself as a very long driver; I rather pride myself on being adequately long and straight from the tee. I have hit some long drives at various times and under certain conditions can produce an extra long one, but I always feel that unless they are straight these do not mean very much. I hit two really long drives at Sandwich in 1938, in the last round of ...

There was a full house to see Kid Berg, now in the R.A.F., make his first appearance as a middleweight in a bout with Karry^Craster. Showing much of his old skill and strategy, Berg won on points.
