2YA’s Special Jazz Programme August 27

Special Announcements From The Studio The programme for the special jazz evening on August 27 from 2YA has been recast in the direction of instituting dancing at an earlier hour and incorporating throughout the evening the originally arranged concert items. There will also be a piece de resistance, as it were, at 9 o’clock in Mr. C, E. Wheeler’s explanation of "The Cabinet System" as part of his series on "Parliament at Work.’’ Another feature of note is that the initial work of the Master of Ceremonies will be undertaken from the studio in this form: The Studio Orchestra will play "Yellow Butterflies," after which there will be two waltzes. This rule will be followed throughout and will enable dancers to secure partners in anticipation and so lose none of the evening’s enjoyment, ; The full programme is as follows:- ,

MR. FRANK ANDREWS. | This is Mr. Frank Andrews, who I acclaimed by the musical and the atrical critics throughout Austra- . . lia and New Zealand as one of the world’s cleyerest comedy pianists, . He has already appeared on numerous occasions before the microphone, His versatility at the piano is outstanding, and he is a natural genius in his remarkable command of that instrument. He possesses a superb expression and touch and plays the latest jazz rippling with runs up and down the keyboard in the most entertaining way. The man who does two things at once aptly describes Mr. Andrews, for he plays two tunes at onee, sings two songs at once, and dances and plays his own pianoforte accompaniment, His piano chimes aud improvisations at the kevboard

are a revelation. He can imitate anything from a fish to a Chinatmaan playing jazz, and his seven different interpretations of the "Prisoner’s Song" is, without a, doubt, one of the cleverest things heard from 2YA, Some three years ago he toured on Fullers’ circuit. He also presented his act to big success at the Tivoli Theatre, Sydney, and later was a member of Bert La Blane’s Reyue. Listeners-in will be interested to know that Mr. Andrews does not know a single note of musie;: being entirely guided by ear.
