"Paging Uncle Sam"
"PAGING UNCLE SAM" is the Auck. land contribution to Kiwi Command Performance. Visiting American servicemen were brought to 1ZB studio recently not merely to entertain local listeners, but also to make a recording which will in due course find its way back to the States. American mothers and fathers and wives and sweethearts will hear their boys over the air, sometimes performing and sometimes just sending messages back home. They will also learn something about New Zealand, our money, our girls, our slang, our customs and so on, and discover that we don’t wear grass skirts and have tings in our noses, This programme, which has been given from 1ZB, 2ZB and 2ZA, will be heard from 3ZB on January 17 and from 4ZB on January 24, "Command Performance U.S.A." ‘THE Command Performance, U.S.A, compéres for Sunday, January 24, at 9.0 p.m. are as follows: 1ZB, Rita Hayworth; 2ZB, Jack Benny; 3ZB, Cary Grant; 4ZB, Leopold Stokowski. This last programme is a special Command Performance given in response to large numbers of requests, and unlike others, it is not from Hollywood, but from New York. Stokowski, who compéres the programme, conducts the NBC Orchestra, which plays a Liszt Rhapsody, Mischa Elman plays a well known Bach aria, and Dorothy Maynor, the American soprano, sings "The Last Rose of Summer" and Strauss’s "Devotion."
