T IT A N IC D IS A S T E R" The n there was Filson Young's play' Titanic,' t he protests about wh ich were remarkable, as they referred purely to tlie subject, the play itself not having been written atthe time, and the author having publiclystated that the actual sinking' of the ship didnot figure in the play."Th i s p ro te st was a l l the more remarkab lein that som e of the most successful broadcas tsof the past have been plays liltc ' Journey's End 'and ' Brigade Exchange,' which must havearoused many more sorrowful memories thanthe sinking of the Titanic." In this case the B.B.C, decided to abandonthe projected broadcast, as it felt that the playv/ould not obtain a fair hearing; and would beprejudiced by the misrepresentation to whicljit had been subject." On th e otiier hand, the re have been postponements on tne E-I.i.C.'s own initiative wherecircumstances beyond its control have madethe broadcast of a particular play inopportuneor tactless." One example was the postponoment of Galsworthy's ' Escape,* the broadcast of which hadbeen arranged for a date which happened tocome just after the Dartmoor mutiny.
