> og aA "HREE new features differing completely in character will soon be presented to listeners by Station 2YD. The Flying Squad (Edgar Wallace) will begin on October 30 at 8 p.m. and continue every following Tuesday; Richelieu, Cardinal or King?, now. being completed at the NBS production studios, starts on November 11 at 7.33 p.m. and on November 18, at 9.2 p.m., listeners will hear Songs by Men, an informal musical show introducing an excellent male chorus in well-known tunes, Every Thursday, at 7.45 p.m., 2YD presents favourite dance bands, with a biography of the leader in each case, followed by hit tunes. To date 135 bands have been heard. The station is probably one of the few in the world to "ir" dance bands consecutively. The biographies are on the lines of short word pictures about leaders’ personalities, For instance, it is explained that Woody Herman did not get his first name through a lifetime devotion to the clarinet, but because his real name is Woodrow Wilson Herman. Ted Lewis’ true name is Theodgre Leopold Friedman. So proud of him were the people in his home town of Circleville, Ohio, that they built a park in his honour and gave it his name. j These bands range in style of playing from that of Guy Lombardo to Ceunt Basie on the American side, Ambrose to Victor Sylvester on the English. New Zealand has been represented by Abe Romaine, a former Wellington saxophone player.
