2YA FEATURES

SIR TRUBY KING. On the evening of November 5, at $ o'clock, listeners will have the privilege of hearing Sir Truby King speak on the subject of infant welfare. No man living has done more for the preservation of infant life, and in his splendidly successful efforts Sir Truby has won for New Zealand an enviable reputation throughout the civilised world. Mr, S If. Rodger, late baritone soloist with Florence Austral, will sing several ballads on Friday, in which his fine voice is sure to be heard to advantage. An experienced concert singer, Mr Rodger is a favourite with Wellington audiences. Mrs. M. Thomas, elocutionist, will be heard in several humorous numbers. Mrs. Thomas’s work is characterised by good style and diction. Miss Reay Wrightson, a visitor to Wellington, is the possessor of a pleasing contralto voice. She will be heard for the first time from 2YA on Friday. She is well known on provincial concert platforms. Miss Phyllis Bates. one of the city’s foremost dancing teachers, will on the evening of November 5 give to listeners to 2YA a foxtrot lcsson, which will include the walk and slow open turn. A delightful children’s hour is assured for the evening of November 5. Aunt Jane will have some very interesting stories to tell. Aunt Jane, by the way, has not met the young folk "on the air" before, but they will find her quite a dear. Associated with Aunt Jane for the evening will be a party of Mrs. Minard’s pupils, who are to present quite a number of pleasing itemsvocal, instrumental, and elocutionary. It is whispered that the programme will not lack an appropriate historical touch suggestive of crackers and bonfires.
