Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament Bulletin

STARS IN OUR EYES

This is the title of a Midnight Matinee in aid of the Campaign which will be held at the Royal Festival Hall shortly after the ending of Nuclear Disarmament Week, on Monday, 21 st September, at 11 p.m.
The Matinee is being organised by the Women's Group of the Campaign, with the help of J. B. Priestley. The programme will include stars of stage, screen and radio Dame Peggy Ashcroft, Jill Balcon, Constance Cummings, Cecil Day-Lewis, Gerard Hoffnung, Miles Malleson, Denis Matthews, Michael Redgrave, Dame Sybil Thorndike, Stanley Unwin and others.
We hope that Groups will start right now organising coach parties and that individual supporters will bring a group of friends. Some transport home will be provided by London Transport.
Tickets will be available from the Royal Festival Hall and from the Campaign Office at 143 Fleet Street, E.C.4, towards the end of the month, at £1, 15s., 10s., 7s. 6d., 5s. and boxes (five people) at £6 5s. and £3 15s.
Leaflets with tear-off order forms for tickets will be available also by the end of the month, and posters.
Trafalgar Square Rally

The final demonstration in London of Nuclear Disarmament Week will take place on the day before the Matinee, on Sunday, 20th September, in Trafalgar Square, at 4 p.m. It will be followed by a short march around the West End and down the Strand and Fleet Street to St. Paul's Cathedral. Bertrand Russell has agreed to be one of the speakers, weather permitting. This will be the first time he has spoken in the Square.
As this will be mainly a London Demonstration (other Regions are holding their final rallies on Saturday, 19th September) we hope that all supporters in the Greater London area will make sure that the Square is packed. Leaflets and posters advertising the Rally will be ready shortly.

Description:
This is a photograph of Bertrand Russell smiling after he had given his speech at the Hiroshima Vigil in Hyde Park on August 6, 1961. Russell was prevented from completing his address by police who instructed him that the use of a microphone contravened Park regulations. The meeting adjourned to Trafalgar Square. Russell's participation in the day's events led to his serving a week-long prison sentence for inciting the public to acts of civil disobedience. The Russell Archives have film footage of this too.
