NOTES

The reception accorded the Melody Four at Sunday night’s concert of the Port Nicholson Band was outstanding, and may be taken as an indication of the benefit conferred upon combinations of this nature by steady broadcast before the microphone. This quartet.o has been singing from 2YA for some time, and has attained a standard of excellence that is particularly good. The recognition of this by the audience on Sunday night was grarifying, Miss Amy Eaton, of Wanganui, who made a definite hit on her appearance at 2YA, has been engaged to sing at the Tramways Band Concert in Wellington next Sunday evening. The studio concert at 3YA on Saturday evening will be notable for the appearance of Mr. Cyril Avondale, an entertainer with an English reputation. Myr. Avondale has performed before the microphone of the British Broadcasting Corporation, and before many a distinguished gathering in London and proyincial concert halls. This will be his second appearance at 3YA (his previous engagement being at short notice and too late for publication in the "Radio Record’). His items on that occasion were: "A Fishy Vishy Story," "Lhe Blackest Man IL Know," and "The Parson of Puddle."
