It Must Be Novel
Musical saw trios, mouth-organ and paper-and-comb bands and other queer musical combinations will have a chance to make a name for themselves and earn some money at the same time in the novel talent quest just launched over the commercial stations. The quest is a departure from the type previously conducted over the air. Novelty will win the day; mere musical talent, proficiency on any standard instrument, or a pleasant voice of orthodox range, is not required. Auditions are conducted at each of the ZB stations every Sunday afternoon, and later, between four and five o'clock, the finalists are presented over the air, There is a prize of two guineas every Sunday afternoon at each station for the most novel item, and another prize of one guinea. There will be a prize of five guineas for the best act presented over the period of the competition. The contest is open to soloists, duos, in fact to any combination, vocal or instrumental.
