THE VOICE OF AN ACE
Sit,-How on earth does H. Alexander, of Auckland (Listener, 26/2/43), know that "a small minority of the listeners» informed the performers (Easy Aces), that their freakish programme was admired all over New Zealand’? Also that, to quote him, "75 per cent of the listenefs tuned to another station immediately these fearful tones rent the air’? Personally, I admire these performers, admitting, at the same time, that the voice of Jane Ace is not all that could be desired. The sessions are written by a master-hand, being clean and clever as the old-time vaudeville manager used to announce it. Some of the types are purely American, but I find them none the less acceptable. On the other hand, how can H. Alexander waste time listening to "Chuckles with Jerry"? In closing, let me congtatulate 2YA for a splendid local talent session "Hometown Variety."
