TITANIA’S CARILLON
Recorded in Wellington FOR LONDON BROADCAST The canvas of broadcasting grows smaller almost daily. In the near future Canadian listeners will be entertained by the 8.8. C. with tunes played on the carillon of Titania's Palace, now on exhibition in Wellington. As the palace will not reach England for at least another eighteen months. Sir Neville Wilkinson, its owner, cabled New Zealand to ascertain if there existed any facilities for making a iecording of the carillon, as it was de sired to broadcast the fairy bells in a programme from the 8.8. C. foi Canada.
Fortunately it was possible to make such records, using the same discs as those used by the 8.8. C. Tho record, with the six tunes of tho carillon, has been dispatched to England, enabling Canadian listeners to be entertained from London with a recording made in Wellington. Thus does Puck “put a girdle round about the earth”—perhaps “not in forty minutes,” but possibly in fort I .' days.
