3YA NOTES

With Derry’s Band, the Beckenham Male Quartet, Mrs. Stallard and Mr. James Laurenson before the microphone, Hsteners-in to 8YA can expect one of the most enjoyable concerts of the week on Monday. A varied programme has been arranged. The travelogue to be given by the Dulcet Quartet on Wednesday evening will provide a_ splendid Scottish concert. The leader of the quartet (Mr. A. G. Thompson, B.A.) has prepared an entertaining description of an itinerary through the country which fies north of the Tweed, and many of the songs which are associated with the Border, the Lowlands and the Highlands will be sung. The previous travelogue given " by the Dulcet Quartet, that of London, was a great success and Scotland will, without doubt, be equally so. Such a travelogue would, of course, not be complete without bagpipe music, and. this need for a Scottish entertainment will be supplied by Mr. Angus Mackintosh. On this occas sion, too, the Christchurch Broadcasting Frio will play Scottish airs, and Mr. Campbell Brown will contribute national recitations. Excerpis from Grand Opera will constitute the programme for Thursday evening, which is to be provided by the Madame Gower-Burns Grand Opera Quartet. This talented combination has chosen some of the best songs from the most famous works. These will comprise solos, duets, and a quartette. Lovers of Grand Opera music will have a treat ths evening. Miss Maiona Juriss, 4.TC.., will also be reciting. The Melodious Quartet, whose Friday evening concerts are always such 4 pleasure, has a programme of the usual high standard for next week. Miss Frances Hamerton, L.A.B., will sing several of her dainty little songs which so charm listeners. Miss Belle Renaut will sing "Slumber Song of the Madonna" and "Damon,’"? while Messrs. Russell Summer and T. D. Williams will be heard in solos and in a duet, "The Battle Eve.’ Two quartettes will also be sung. The Christchurch Broadcasting Trio, Miss Irene Morris (violin), and Mr. Lyndon Christie (saxophone) will contribute the instrumental music. : On Friday evening Miss Naare Hooker, W.1T.C.U., will recite selections from "Peg o? my Heart,’ "Cargoes" and ‘‘Water." Of the vaudeville concert on Saturday evening the second portion of the programme will be supplied by Perce Skinner’s Musical Entertainers. It is

a combination that is bound to please. Variety is the keynote, whether the items to be rendered are vocal, mouthorgan, banjo or mandolin. Two of these artists are well known at. 3YA. They are Messrs. Skinner and Birch, whose banjo and mandolin contribu. tions have enlivened many a_ pro- , gramme. Mr. H. Edwards, who sings popular songs, and supplies the necessary patter when required, has heen a Fuller artist, while Messrs. P. Cole and G. Naylor are well named ‘‘harmiony specialists" with a penchant for mouth organs. In the first portion of Saturday evening’s programme appear the names of some popular entertain-ers-Miss Mabel Thomas and Mr. Dave McGill, Mr. Robert Lake (baritone, Mr. Charles Lawrence (who:sings popular foxtrot songs and ballads) and the Broadcasting Trio.
