"RADIO RECORD" ANNUAL.

A BRIGHT MAGAZINE. ' On the first page of the "New Zealand Radio Record ,, Annual appears a fore- \ word by tlie editor intimating that it is I only the lack of a suitable housetop that ' prevents him from using such, a vantage l point to shout the -worth, of the "Radio i Record Annual" for 1934. Tliie is not ' an idle boast, for this year's production ' ranks high in the literary, artistic and : technical fields. Of 72 pages and con- " taining over 40 articles and stories, not ; only informative on radio matters, but > of general interest, the annual also con--1 tains many excellently-produced por- • traits and sketches. The annual has a '■ well-deserved reputation for encouraging ' New Zealand writers and artists, and in ' this number it lives up to this. Many ! prominent New Zealanders are featured '. in literary contributions, which come from the pens of euch well-known persons as Margaret Macphcrson, Lady Stathani, Professor G. W. von Zedlitz, ' Robin Ilvde, Mona Tracy, General Sir I George Richardson and Marten Stuart, j There are. well-written biographies of ' Dr. Guy Scliolefleld, Professor Maxwell ' Walker, the Rev. C. G. Scrimgeour, Pro- ! fessor Jinnee Shelley, Mr. Leicester J Webb, Mr. J. T. Paul and Major-General Merlin. The short stories, cheerful and amusing articles and odd bite of verse i are attractively arranged, and the gene- [ rul lay-out helps to make ~the "Radio \ Krcord" Annual one of the brightest annuals offered for sale. The publishers [ are the National Magazines, Ltd., Wel--1 lington.
