"STARS OF YESTERDAY"
HILE youth is having its day, old age, too, in many cases is still to the fore. There are many elderly people whose day is not yet over. Following the "Stars of To-morrow" programme at Station 2ZB, it was felt that opportunity should be given to those who were stars of other days, and from this thought the programme "Stars of Yesterday," was born. On Sunday, September 29, at , 6.30 p-m., "Stars of Yesterday" will be presented from: Station 2ZB. Every artist. on this programme will be over 60 years of age. An intéresting feature of
the programme ‘will be that the "Stars of To-morrow" will be associated with the "Stars of Yesterday," thus enabling youth: to pay its tribute to old age. The old folk will be introduced over the air by the young folk, and the "Stars of To-morrow" will take the air in a concerted item. "Love’s Old Sweet Song." E. C. Harvie, who is 76, and who arrived in New Zealand in 1900, is a great lover of Shakespeare, and a member of the Wellington Shakespearean Society.

bourne Improvements Societies Union-which conducted the equivalent of our annual competitions, F. S. Pope, of 34 Kelburn Parade, is 72. He is to sing " The Lost Chord."
