"Saint Joan," by George Ber- nard Shaw, will be broadcast from the London studio in two parts on April 25 and 26. This will be the first full-length play by Mr. Show to be produced in the studio.

Nothing could be more alien to the Russian mind than the life of

New York's Negro quarter pictured by this play and the "colour" con- Dict which provides the tragic element of the piece. The director's and the actors' knowledge of Negroes is limited to the half dozen members of that race residing in Moscow and the "Pravda" articles about organising the American Negroes for the forthcoming revolu tion. Considering this handicap, the production is a remarkable achievement. It rings true. The street scenes were strikingly re- miniscent of New York-rattling elevators and all Negro, songs are

Betty Siddons, who stars in the new British film Master and Man," was & London schoolteacher twelve months ago, and has at various times been engaged to coach the backward children of well-to-do

people in such widely different sub- jects as Latin, elocution, fencing and gymnastics. Miss Siddons her self is not yet twenty.

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

THE WOMANLY CURVE.

Ingenious methods have been. adopted by a famous dress designer to accentuate the womanly curve in the gowns he creates.

There is nearly always a rounded waist-line. Skirta are designed with dipping panels curved at the hem. All the neck-lines are round ed or oval-never or rarely point ed. Full jabots or softly pleated lace make a rounded line on the front of the bodice. Sleeves with rounded cuffs.

These are a few of the fashion details introducing the curved line.

Flat rules or a series of narrow- flounces are seen on many of the new models in lighter materials of the printed crepe de. Chine order, which are going to be so popular, while for the slightly heavier types of......... materiei, circular flares-or- godets give the required fullness. The flare may be brought into the design again in the basque of a little coat made to wear with the frock and made, of the same material.

A FISH TRAGEDY.

It seems like a tragedy when you inadvertently let the fish-boil to pieces. But don't despair; it can be made quite eatable this way.

Take away the bones and skin and flake 'up what is left of the fish. Mix it with a white sauce, flavoured with anchovy essence it liked. Pile in a hot dish. Give it a border of plain boiled rice. (Rice

for this purpose only needs ten to fifteen minutes' quick boiling, drain it well.) Then re-heat the lot in the oven for a few minutes.

Or the mixture can be placed in scallop shells and served in in- dividual portions as scalloped fab. In this case serve the rice separate.

BEAUTY.

Do you shampoo your own hair?.. "If you do (and most women do at least part of the time) always remember that the rinsing is one of the most important parts of the procedure. When the soap is allow- ed to remain, the hair is left sticky, dull and lifeless. The use of a bath spray for rinsing will great- Jy facilitate the job.

After soaping the scalp and hair. (with liquid soap, of course), rinse with warm water until only clear water runs off. Repeat this and, in the second to last rinsing water, use a little vinegar. This prevents the curds of soap from adhering to the hair and leaves it softer and silkier.

Continued drying of the hair by extreme heat will leave it dry and
