NOTES To-night at 9 o’clock IYA will relay two choruses from “Elijah.” This oratoria is being produced by the Auckland Ghoral Society. This is the first relay of a practice in Auckland and should prove a success. There are numerous relays of this type in Australia, principally from 4QG Brisbane, where short items by the Apollo Club and the Welsh Society are broadcast frequently. This novelty in Auckland is the result of the newly-formed Musical and Dramatic Committee and is but one of the many splendid suggestions for brightenIMS * OCal programmes brought forward ut first meeting.
