"Requests" With a Difference
BRIGHT new Sunday afternoon feature from 1ZB. Information Please, deserves attention. Misled by the title into thinking that it was the celebrated American quiz-programme on which Oscar Levant and F. P. Adams performed with such verbal and mental agility, I was at first -rather resentful when it turned out to be the answering of music queries from listeners, and the playing of illustrative recordings. But this request session with a difference stands on its own feet. There is enough | variety of musical types in the feature to give a broad appeal; the information is often unusual, and Glen Menzies makes an agreeable and not too "know- | ing’ compére. A pity the title is so un- | inspired, for the programme has a | vivacity which 1YA might borrow to enliven its rather solemn Sunday after-
noons.
