MOTLEY NOTES

... . By ALAN KEMP. A Good Time. The shouting and the tumult dies; as for Captains and Kings-- well, some Captains are beginning to arrive and a few Kings are, beginning to depart. I thought the shouting very good choral work and the crowd and scenes excellently produced.

... By JOYCE DENNYS. MY DEAR ROBERT-- I am dreaming of a white August, I sang, as I made a dash for the greenhouse. Lady B. followed me, panting and brushing the snow from her coat. There we found the Conductor lovingly pressing little tomato plants into pots. Conductor I gasped, quite overwhelmed by this generosity.

... / |j By BRUCE WAUGH. I THINK this is a job for the Snotties' nurse, mused the Commander of the cruiser Topsides as he read the signal lying on his desk. He put the telephone to his ear and was rewarded by a penetrating shriek that made him drop the receiver as if it had bitten him. Blast these infernal machines, he said, and the torpedo Depart ment.
