APPRECIATION.

NELSON correspondent writes concerning 1YA :-- "~ wish to congratulate the Comedy Players on their powerful presentation of the one-act play, ‘Campbell of Kilmohr." Mr. Montague’s handling of the name-part wus masterly and realistic, and most conyincing, with just the right amount of restraint. How often a splendid part is spoiled by over-acting! The Highlund mother was very well done, indeed and the whole effect very satisfying. At the same time, I hope these fine artists will choose another play from this collection that is not $9 desperately tragic next time-may it he soont

"f am hopeful that this will mark a new era in broadcasting in the Dominion, and wish to register my strons approval, I have listened to many radio plays produced in Australia, but mostly feeble in the extreme. On the same evening of June i, the St. Andrew's Quartet put on "Our Pantomime" very attractively. I would especially like to congratulate the contralto who sang the Fairy Queen’s song. "T note a lot of grumbling in the radio magazines, and I could easily supply some myself if I wanted to swell the list. I believe in giving praise wherever possible, and I cannot miss this opportunity of expressing great appreciation of the very delightful contributions to the Auckland programmes provided by Madame Ainsley and her party."
