A CBC quiz show in which Ralph Allen and James Bannerman pit their knowledge against Morley Callaghan and this week's guest, Mark Napier, advertising executive and chair of the publicity committee for the exhibition of Dutch paintings called Paintings of the Golden Age, showing at the Art Gallery of Ontario. J.B. McGeachy of the Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper is host. Napier talks about the exhibition. The panelists grapple with the following questions submitted by listeners: Besides English, Welsh and Gaelic, what are three other languages spoken in the British Isles and where? What is a lingua Franca? What is pidgin English? What is a universal language? Where would we read about Grover's Corner, New Hampshire; Lilluput and Auburn? Where is the Swanee River? Where is the reef of Norman's Woe from the Wreck of the Hesperus located? Where was my Old Kentucky Home from Thomas Wolfe's novel Look Homeward Angel? Which country benefitted from the marriage of Ann of Denmark, Ann of Brittany and Ann of Bohemia? Marriage was proposed by proxy in these cases. What happened? Ann of Cleves. Essalt. Priscilla? Frank Herbert, the announcer, describes the literary selection of the month -- The Four Winds by David Beatty, which was sent to all whose questions are selected for use. The questions resume: What are these foods and where are they popular? Huuger in Buff; Digby Chicken; Googa. Define these foods: Salmagundi; Blintze; Yoghurt. Place these poetical excerpts about Spring: April is in her eye, it is love's Spring (Shakespeare); April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land. (T.S. Eliot); April, April, laugh thy girlish laughter then the moment after weep thy girlish tears. (Sir William Watson). Complete these poetic lines: From Tennyson: In the Spring . . . ; From As You Like It: In Springtime . . . ; From Pepper by Browning: . . . at the Spring. Letters from listeners. Mr. Watson writes to correct information about aviator Douglas Bader. Barbara Dalene writes about mosquitoes and yellow fever. <30mn>
