Book Reviews Two brilliant biographies will be the subject for discussion by Profes- sor J. F. Macdonald• on the Canadian Radio Commission "Book Review" program to be heard from Toronto on Saturday. December 7, at 7.45 p.m. Milton Wtaldmann who wrote one The broadcast, kept secret until a few days, before presentation, was probably one of the ni!ost ambitious of its kind ever attempted by the Commission. Directed by George A. Taggart, with a cast of professional Ottawa talent, "Mirth and Melody" was, a variety show of wit, whimsi- cality, nonsense, song and story, with just the proper dash of ser- iousness to lend it dignity and give it prestige. Those who saw the ' production from the theatre itself were impres- sed with the calibre of the artists and their finished showmanship, little realizing that such entertain- ers. could be procured within the limits of their own city, It is planned that "Mirth and Melody," presented as an experi- ment, will be repeated with, a new cast, new songs ,new jokes, and new foolishness. Public approval, so quickly manifested following Wed- nesday's production, calls for a speedy return to the networks of this feature and Production Chief Taggart, with his assistants, are al- ready working on a newer, bigger, (Continued on page 3) Grove's does the tour things necessary to kill a cold quickly;. opens the bowels, combats the cold genas and fever in the system, relieves the headache and "grippy" feeling, tones up the entire system.
