Items From The ZB's
oe — N May 29 the "Saturday Night (@) Special" from 2ZA will branch out in a new direction, when the Litthe Theatre Society will broadcast a one-act play. The Little Theatre Society is one of Palmerston North’s leading dramatic organisations, and has done a good deal of work wn the_local stage and in Drama League Festivals throughout the North Island. * a * RAvdiI0 STAGE is a new type of programme which may now be heard from all CBS stations on Mondays. Each week a different play is heard over the air: it may be a comedy, a farce, an adventure story, or a drama. These halfhour programmes are produced in Australia, and each episode is complete in itself. "% * © HE "Dramatisations of the Classics" ‘for May 26 are: from 1ZB, "Pillars of Society"; 2ZB and 4ZB, "The Ideal Husband"; 3ZB and 2ZA, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." xe % * "CAVALCADE of Music in New Zealand" provides a blend of entertainment and authentic informatien. It is the story of music in New Zealand from the time of the first settlers, suitably illustrated with musical items, This programme, now playing from 1ZB, will start at 2ZB on May 29, at 3ZB on June 12, at 4ZB on June 26, and at 2ZA.-on July 10. % % * IVE days a week in the ZB Home Service session, starting on May 24, listeners will hear a new programme of five-minute dramas entitled This Thing Called: Love. These scenes are episodes in the love stories of famous men and women from Cleopatra to the present day. Here are the names of some whose love stories you may hear-Marco Polo, Simon: Bolivar, Queen Victoria, Madame Curie, Mozart, Sun Yat Sen and Disraeli. If we are surprised that some of the more staid among them had love stories worth putting over the air, we may be equally surprised that the romantic adventures of such figures as Byron and Catherine the Great can be compressed into single five-minute episodes. * * * A NEW and more ambitious entertainment for hospital patients has recently begun from 4ZB. This feature, which began on Easter Sunday, runs from 10 to 11 a.m. on Sundays, It is compéred by Don Donaldson, and introduces such items as talks, patients’ favourite recordings, as well as "live" artists. These broadcasts have resulted from 4ZB’s efforts some time ago to raise» funds for installing radio equipment throughout the hospital.
