Transcript

From Hollywood, CBS Radio presents the CBS Radio Workshop, dedicated to man's imagination, the theatre of the mind. Tonight, colloquy, too, a dissertation on love. From time to time, the workshop presents discussions or colloquies on matters of general interest.

A few months ago, workshop listeners heard Colloquy 1, in which Dr. Frank Seabachster interviewed William Shakespeare in an effort to determine whether Shakespeare had indeed written the works of Shakespeare.

our discussion, we have an eminent scholar indeed, Dr. Frank C. Baxter, Professor of English of the University of Southern California, who will in turn present Cola Quay II, A Dissertation on Love, or Boy, Neat Girl. Dr. Baxter.

world around, then it's of the most vital importance that the world understands just what love is. To this end we have invited here three distinguished authorities in the R's Amatoria to join with us in this dissertation on love from London, Sir Eustis Ponsonby, scientist, scholar and student of human behaviour.
