The artists contributing will include Miss Constance Filamank (contralto) and Mrs. Daisy Pearce (mezzo-soprano). Mr. Charles Lawrence and Mr. Les Stewart will be heard in popular songs, and harmony | duets at the piano, while Mr. R. R. Wills, a winmr at the recent Christchurch Competitions, will give humore | ous recitations. A novelty turn at 3YA on Monday will be the siaging by Mr. Percy Nicholls of a song, followed by a gramophone record (electrically produced) of the same item, sung by Mr. Nicholls. As the announcer will not state which is the record and which is the voice i of Mr. Nicholls, listeners will be left to decide for themselves. The fortnightly talk on books by Mr. E. J. Bell will precede the studio eoncert on Monday. | (Continued on Page i+.)
