2YA NOTES

as N Monday, June ii, the Ariel Singers will present "Iifteen Minutes of Old Irish Music," which should make a direct appeal to many listen-ers-in. Conspicuous also are two of Keel’s stirring settings of John Masefield’s "Salt Water Ballads," one of Roger Quilter’s beautiful "Pastoral Songs" (with trio accompaniment), and Granville Bantock’s masterly quartet arrangement of "The Cruiskeen Lawn." In addition, Mr. I. A. Sargent will entertain with humorous songs at the piano, and Mr. Stanley Warwick will be heard in some of his popular eloecutionary numbers. ON Tuesday, the Orpheus Quartet will sing, by request, "Queen of France," a vocal gavotte, "Little Cotton Dolly," a Negro lullaby, and also Mendelssohn’s "Farewell to the Forest." Mrs. Alice Harris will sing "Vianka's Song," Mr. Arthur Coe "Lorraine," and Miss Lily Mackie "Row, Burnie, Row." Mr. Len Barnes will sing from classics "The Two Grenadiers" (this has been on the programme previously, but owing to a relay was not sung), "The Monotone" (by Cornelius) and two beautiful songs by Mallison, "Eleanore" and "Violet." With Mrs. Alice Harris, Mr. Barnes will sing the duet from "The Girl Behind the Counter," "Won't You Buy a Spray." ORE of the Mellow Fellows’ nonsense will be filling the air on Thursday. If any listeners-in want to dance on that night, they can do it while "Breeze" is being sung-or otherwise dealt with-by the company, and if the Fellows, who will sing "Phyllis is my only Joy" and "When the House is Asleep," are in good voice on that occasion, those who like more "high-brow" entertainment will enjoy it here. The stories and dialogue are up to the usual standard, and none of them is true. The evergreen "Somerset" song is in the hands of the Basest Fellow, who has made it a life study, and "Kentucky Home," in harmonised version, will prove a fitting conclusion to a good night's entertainment. Miss Marjorie Cadman will contribute to the programme, and Mr. Johannes Andersen wil be heard in one of his entertaining lecturettes. tir Apollo Singers have arranged a well-varied programme for the evening of Friday. Their bill of fare includes two melodious quartets, "The Old Folks at Home" (by Cornwall), and "Drink to me only" (by Roger Quilter). Miss Chudley is to sing "A Prayer" and Quilter’s delightful song, "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal,"

RSE ees +. bis AER Gare ie wa se + while "The Life of a Rose," by Lehmann, is the number chosen by Miss Goodwell. Miss Chudley will also be associated with Mr. S. Ei. Rodger in Mendelssohn’s' beautiful duet, "Autumn." The male soloists, Mr. Rodger and Mr, B®. W. Robbins, will sing respectively "The Song of the Waggoner" and "Ships of Arcady." Mr. Cedric Gardiner, a popular humor- | ist, and Palmer’s Hawaiian Trio will contribute towards the evening's entertainment. N Saturday the Melodie Four will sing three concerted numbers. "The Dear Little Shamrock" (arranged by Duks) is a tuneful arrangement of the well-known Irish air. In "The Old Folks at Ilome" many original touches are introduced and harmonious effects pbtained. "A Vocal Combat," which is a novelty item, is connected with two of the solo numbers, which will be presented by mem-_ bers of the quartet. Mr. George Titechener, humorist, Mr. Lad Haywood with his ‘Italian mandolin, and the Glad Idlers will contribute to the evening's entertainment,
