Lunch Hour Variety
JRRECENTLY the NZBS arranged and produced a lunch-time concert for the workers of a large motor car factory near Wellington. The show was recorded and will be broadcast by 2YA under the title "Factory Fanfare" at 7.30 p.m. on January 25, when listeners will hear the compére, Jack Dobson, introducing Henry Rudolph and his Harmony Serenadets, Peggy Walker, of the radio feature Twenty-one and Out, and the other well-known artists who made up the company. "Factory Fanfare" is the first lunchtime show the NZBS has recorded and some improvisation was necessary. Crates of motor car parts were set up for a stage in the huge Body Assembly Shop, the recording microphones were hung from cranes, and empty crates were rigged for the artists’ dressing rooms. The audience of factory workers, surrounded by shining new cars, did almost as much as the performers.’ The compére took a niictophone down amongst them and held impromptu interviews, and everyone took part in a new party game having its first ra ape to New Zealand audiences.
