L NNIVERSARIES of notable events are godsends to radio programme organisers. They are an excuse, if excuse were needed, to serve up plenty of. drama to the patrons. July 14 is as notable an anniversary as you'll find in any calendar-it’s Bastille Day, the National Day of France, and the Commercial Broadcasting Service will present from all stations this Sunday evening, July 11, a _ recorded play entitled "Twelve Days in the History of France." This uses as its theme the executions of Nantes-an occasion as bloody as any in the story of German-controlled Europe. Readers with long memories will recall October, 1941, when one hundred innocent French hostages were executed for the assassination of a German officer. * * * HE compéres for Command Performance U.S.A. for July 18 will be as follows: 1ZB Dinah Shore, 2ZB Bing Crosby, 3ZB Ginny Simms, and 4ZB Jeanette Macdonald. * %* * NOTABLE recent addition to the 2ZB "Radio Matinee" on Sunday afternoons is Notable Trials. Richard Singer, of Auckland, tells the stories of trials that have attracted general attention. These should be of interest not merely as presentations of actual cases, but alsé in so far as they give the lay person illustrations of the working of the law.. This programme may be heard each Sunday at 3 p.m. * %* * "(~ARDEN of Music" is a new luncheon interlude of music from 2ZB at 1.0 on Wednesday afternoon, It is suggested that this may be an encouragement to mothers to take that much needed rest for 15 minutes after the children have had their lunch and gone back to school. Eg * * HE latest dramatic feature to take the air at 2ZB is Klondike, a drama of ’98 when men were men and women were worth their weight in gold. This story of the gold rush period is adapted by Hector Chevigny, who is known to radio listeners for his adaptation of Lost Empire, and the cast of Klondike includes a number of the leading artists of Lost Empire. It may be heard from 2ZB each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at’ 6.30 p.m. and it is also running at 2ZA.
