CAMPBELLS ARE COMING

Scottish Programmes It is understood that contracts have* already been arranged to till the ether over New Zealand with Scottish songs. Duncan Morrison will provide the piano music and Sydney Mac Ewan the tenor effects. These two include in their repertoire an exclusive selection of music from Scotland. All true Scots will be there on the air, or somebody else’s air, und all true Englishmen will be there to see what music from Scotland sounds like. In contrast tu this an Indian soprano, Alias Bina Addey, is to tour all stations in the very near future. This visitor is well known ior her accomplish in cuts in her country of origin. One cannot help feeling tiiac the time is now not so far distant when artists ol this nature will sign uii th© dotted line lor an Empire tour ot ladio stations. At present each individual broadcasting board has to make its own arrangements. An artist leaving England lor a tour ot this nature would sigu up to “do” the Empire. Each individual board would give its contribution. As things are shaping (states an exchange) it would appear inevitable that some Empire organisation will unity what at present is a matter of individual arrangement. Listeners undoubtedly would benefit from good organisation.
