A GOOD CONCERT.

‘ A programme of the usual high standard set by the Melodious Quartet will be broadcast on Friday at 8YA. The concerted and solo items comprise a fine collection of pretty melodies, notably those in which the ladies’ voices, Misses Hamertoit and Renaut, patticipate. Messrs. Sumner and Williams have selected songs of 2 more virile nature for their particular voices. Among Mr. Suniner’s :tems is ‘Red Devon by the Sea," while Mr, WilJiams’s baritone voice will be heard in such items as Elgar’s ‘"‘War Song," "Devonshire Cream and Cider," and "The Desert?’ 3YA listeners will remember the glorious renderings which Mr. T,. D. Williams gave of ‘‘The Desert" a few months ago. This song by Emanuel, now very rarely heard owing to being so difficult to do justice to, is descriptive of being lost in the desert, with vultures flying overhead waiting for their prey; but just when the traveller is exhausted and giving up all hope’, he hears the faint tinkle of caravan bells. Mr, Williams and 3YA have received many requests for this item to be repeated, ; Mr. H. Instone, whose cntertaining abilities are now well known, will give some more samples of his own humour at 8YA on Friday. This item will refer to house painting. * For ean after-church studio concert on Sunday evening, following the relay of the service in St. Luke’s Church of Fingland, a capital programme has been arranged. Instrumental music will be supplied by the Trio, and vocalists will be the ever-popular Mr. D: W. Stallard and Mr. P, Angus.
