distinguish one writer from
another, and one poet from another. And Mrs. Zaheya Ayoub asks about woman's share in literature, saying that woman confined herself to poetry in olden times, and that today we cannot bestow this title except upon a very small group. As for Mrs. Zaheya's language, it is very sound; her style is excellent and her voice is good; in this respect she stands in the front rank of the speakers — in language, style, voice, and thought. Yet we hold it against Mrs. Ayoub — while acknowledging the soundness of most of the views she gave on literature — as we hold it against most of our ladies on the radio — that she took up a subject requiring composure and depth, and the woman listening to the radio cannot take in everything in it as if she were reading it in a book or a magazine...
This is a light, merry subject, as they say... like light music and light literature — and that is a quality which, in the opinion of this page's critic, is highly praiseworthy in radio subjects. Or say, rather, that its title gives it this quality; for hardly had we begun to listen than we saw Miss Mardini going far afield in search of the origins of personality, attempting to define it — its formation, its qualifications, its effect upon environment and the environment's effect upon it. So the first part of the talk came out dry — though it may be that the nature of the inquiry is what called for the dryness. But the second part was beautiful, and in harmony with the basic idea of the subject, above all when the young lady declared that beauty and elegance do not play the greatest role in a woman's life, because intelligence and vitality, courage and tolerance, kindness and modesty, a spirit of gaiety
and freedom from affectation, and culture all have their effect
in the forming of a woman's personality. The Miss's language needs practice; her style is good, and her voice is not bad.
General Remarks
• Most of the speakers were new to the public, if we except Mrs. Zaheya Ayoub. • Among the speakers to whom we have not referred in this issue: Widad Maqdisi Cortas, whose subject was "The Greatest Ordeal Lebanon Has Known"; Miss Rose
Ghorayeb: "Are Our Women in Earnest in Demanding Their Rights?" • The talks were, in their majority, beyond the reach of the public — and the radio is an instrument of general culture... • We note that what is presented after the talk, in the last five minutes, does not accord with the subject and has no relation whatever to the talk. • We suggest to the radio that it vary the woman's program, so that every lady and girl may find in it pleasure and profit.
