MORE HELLO'S FROM HOLLYWOOD
ELLO FROM HOLLYWOOD -continues on its musical way at the ZB stations, with more highlights than ever. The main programmes were previously from the Coconut Grove on Mondays, Ciro’s on Tuesdays, and the Biltmore Bowl on Wednesdays. Tuesday is now "hillbilly" night, and on Wednesdays the programmes are, on different nights, from, the Biltmore, from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel (Honolulu), and novelty shows with a varying Hollywood flavour. As an example of the shows which will be broadcast under the heading of "hill-billy," that from 1ZB on Tuesday, May 5, introduces a young singer by the name of Texas Ruby, who sings the old song "Frankie and Johnny," and a quaint number entitled "Bye Bye Doce. Jones," in a rich, husky contralto. In addition, there are "The Okies," a rollicking band of "hill-billies." The programme explains that the rendezvous is a roadhouse outside Hollywood where a barn dance is in progress. Texas Ruby and "The Okies" will be heard from 3ZB on May 12, and from 4ZB on May 19. An example of the novelty twist to the Hello from Hollywood series is the programme scheduled for broadcast from
1ZB on May 6, when a special Mexican Biltmore Bowl programme will be presented. Practically the entire show is devoted to items of a definitely Mexican flavour, featuring the unusual music of the Mexican Police Official Marimba
Band. The plaintive tones of the instruments and the interesting rhythms make it a programme of special interest to lovers of exotic music. The same programme will play from 3ZB on May 13, and from 4ZB on May 20,
