ZB's AGAIN HELP CHARITIES
Two Successful Radio Theatre Shows
HE series of Radio Theatre Shows which the ZB stations have given during the past four months has netted close on £1000 for charity. The shows have consisted of preview screenings of selected films, and concerts by ZB artists. The whole of the takings go to charity, Theatre Management Ltd. giving the use of the theatre, and artists and attendants all offering their services free. The first was held in September of last year, in aid of the Crippled Children’s Socitey, and raised £184, and in November, three concerts held by 2ZB, 3ZB and 2ZA Palmerston North, raised nearly £500 for the Free Kindergarten and the men of the Mercantile Marine. 2ZB’s concert was held in the St. James Theatre, and included items by performers who are heard frequently from that station. A highlight was a presentation of "Station T.O.T.," Bryan O’Brien and a band of youngsters treating the audience to a full dress rehearsal of the session they present over the air every Saturday night. A comedy sketch which was well received was "Audition," presented by "Mary Anne" and Lane Patterson,
Items were given by 2ZB’s Silver Band, under the direction of Charles Forrest, which was appearing for the first time; Rex Walden sang patriotic songs, two of them to Finlay Robb’s Wurlitzer organ accompaniment, and further items were given by 2ZB’s "Stars of To-morrow."
