No 11 — September 1978 Edited by Michael Walters

CARLETON HOBBS

This great actor of sound radio died at the end of July this year. It is believed that he played something like 4,000 parts in his time, a record to be proud of. He was a devotee of Gilbert & Sullivan, and some years ago broadcast a programme of readings from the Bab Ballads, which I remember with great pleasure. MICHAEL WALTERS
