RADIO BROADCASTING

TO-NIGHT’S NEW ZEALAND PROGRAMMES The programme at IYA will include three very entertaining one-act plays presented by Mrs Zoe Bartley-Baxter. The Studio Trio will provide some fine instrumental items, and Miss Irene Frost (contralto) will sing amongst other numbers ‘ Death and the Maiden,’ by Schubert. 2YA’s concert will be mainly operatic. An item of outstanding interest will bo a talk by Mr Norman Terry, the well-known author and lecturer, on ‘How to Write Fiction.’ This will not bo a dull, uninteresting lecture, but a bright, witty dissertation on ‘‘ matters literary.” Mr Terry has lectured on numerous occasions, both on the public platform and to clubs, societies, and other organisations, and his talk should prove of more than passing interest to listeners. Misses Jeanette Briggs and Ngairo Coster (soprano and contralto respectively), Mr J. M. Caldwell (bass), and Mr Will Hancock (tenor) will be singing. The 2YA Orchcstrina, under Signor Truda, will play the overture ‘ltalians in Algeria’ (Rossini), a selection from the opera ‘La Trnviata,’ two musical comedy numbers, ‘ Veronique ’ and ‘ The Gypsy Princess,’ and a concert waltz by Waldteufel ‘ Waltz Militaire.’ Popular vocal numbers and dance music by the Bailey-Marston Dance Orchestra will comprise the programme at 3YA. Mrs Moana Lawrence, Mrs E. H. Davies, Mr Arthur T. Couch, and Mr Robert Allison will be singing. Mr L. T. J. Ryan will recite. The instrumental music will he a very engaging portion of 4YA’s programme. The # Celeste Quintet is to perform. An interesting item should be the viola and piano duo of the Flottennan Concerto.’ This concerto is in sonata form. The subject of the first movement is brimful of melody and the finale is exceptionally brilliant. There are so few duos for viola and piano that the innovation of this item on the programme is certain to bo most interesting. The vocal portion of the musical programme ■will be provided by Miss Mollie Fenton (mezzo-soprano), Mr L. E. Dailey (tenor), and Mr L. North (baritone). _ Recitations will be given by Miss Nellie Warren.
