ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
"Inquirer" (Sumner) :-Beyond the fact that Angela Parselles, soprano, made one record for Columbia which was released in London in July, 1937, and ‘in New Zealand about March, 1938, and that she was described in England as "The New Australian Nightingale,’ no informtion on this singer is available. As for Galli-Curci, no fresh records by this artist have been issued since 1931. It is true that she had to endure a severe throat operation and made a ‘‘comeback" afterwards. The critics acted with chivalry, but reading between the lines the present Galli-Curci appears to fall short of the artist of the ‘twenties. "Serial" (Opotiki):-We are informed that the clash you mention occurs owing to an alteration in 3YA’s schedule, which was unavoidable unless the balance of the programme was to be sacrificed. But you can hear The Mystery of Darrington Hall from 2YH on Mondays at 7:30 p.m. It will also be presented from one of the Auckland: stations at a later date. Olga Stanley, Te Awamutu:-Station 2ZJ operates intermittently from Cisborne and arrangements are being made to include this station in our list of programmes in the near future. Evening reception of 1ZB is reported to be quite satisfactory in most districts near Auckland. It is the case, however, that in some districts there is interference at the present time due to the numerical preponderance of the Australian stations on the wavelengths of Station 1ZB and other Commercial stations. This interference is noticeable where conditions are definitely adverse at certain times. It is receiving the constant attention of the Commercial Service engineers.
