SCOTTISH NIGHT AT 3YA

y R. CHAS. LAWRENCE heads the list of the artists who will supply the vocal portion of the programme on Monday evening. The musical interludes on the piano, with song and patter, for which Mr, Lawrence is responsible, are always extremely popular. We will present a fresh budget on Monday evening. Artists new to 83YA studio will be performing on Monday evening. ‘The first to appear will be Mr. W. H. Browne, the possessor of a baritone voice of good quality. Then will come Miss Iiyeline Hill, whose cultured soprano voice has been heard in solo work at concerts given by the Christ-

church Harmonie Society. She is a pupil of Madame Ottley. Two other Singers will be Mr. Tom Cook, who has a sweet tenor voice, and Mrs, FE. J. Davies, a gifted mezzo-soprano. \ ISCELLANEOUS musical items will constitute the entertainment to be given by 3YAen Wednesday evening. The vocalists will be the members of the Dulcet Quartet-Miss Nellie Lowe, Miss Hilda Hutt, Mr, T. G. Rogers and Mr. A. G. Thompsonwho will sing solo and concerted numbers. A fine selection.of vocal gems will be presented, No less splendid will be the instrumental items, which will be rendered by the Studio Trio, Miss Irene Morris (violiniste), Mr. Percy. Reeves (trumpeter) and Mr. EB. G. Williams (trombonist). Elocutionary items by Mr. Richard R. Wills will be given on Wednesday evening. These will be "The Ballad of John Nicholson," "The Lure of the Little Ones" and ‘Jock Tamson’s Ride." Myr. Wills was a prize-winner at the recent Christchurch Competitions. Me. CLIVE HINDLE, a well-known and yery popular baritone in Christchurch, but new to radio, will be heard on Thursday evening. He is taking the place of Mr. Bernard Rennell as a member of Madame GowerBurns’s Grand Opera Quartet. While welcoming Mr. Hindle, listeners will regret losing Mr. Rennell, whose private affairs prevent him continuing owing to the demands which the radio service makes on his time. My. Hindle will make his radio debut in a popular Scottish concert. His solo items will be "Scottish Fmigrant’s Farewell," "John Grumbie." "The Deil’s Awa with the Excisemun," and "Border Ballad."

A vich treat for all will be the . Scottish concert on Thursday. The programme will comprise a collection of the most heroic of the songs of old Scotland, a. well as some of the most sentimental and plain-tive-and there will be a liberal portion of real Scottish humour, which latter will be supplied by Mr, H. Instone.. The instrumental music for the evening will be contributed by the Studio Trio, Miss Aileen Warren (pianiste), Mr. S, E. Munday (clarinet), and Mr, W. Hay (flute). The concert will conclude, very appropriaicly, with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne." FLOTOW, whose "Martha" is to be broadcast on Friday evening, certainly possessed the gift of melody. Excerpts from this very popular opera will be sung by the Melodious Four-Miss Frances Hamerton, Miss Belle Renaut, Mr. Russell Sumner, and Mr. T. D, Williams. These excerpts will consist of solos, duets, and quartets. "Martha" rises to great heights in inspiration and in musical melody. . Interspersing the yocal musie will be items, which will include cornet solos by Mr. S. J. Creagh, ’cello solos by Mr. Ilarold Beck, and pianoforte novelties by Mr. Ivan Perrin. There will also be elocutionary items by Mr. Hiram Dunford on Friday evening, one piece being ‘"Rubenstein’s Playing." All who heard Mr, Dunford’s splendid rendition of "The Bells" will look forward to an equally masterful handling of the piece so graphically descriptive of a famous pianist. NEW melodies typical of the Southern States will be sung by the .Avonion Minstrels on Saturday evening, This male quartet is always much appreciated, and helps materially to make a great success of Saturday eyening yaudeyvilles. Solos will also be sung by the minstrels, and there will be a duet-all of which will appeal to the popular taste. Another soloist who will appear on Saturday evening will be Miss Gladys Brooks, a pupil of Miss Jessie King, and possessed of a fine soprano voice. Miss Agnes Richardson is also appearing. She has a splendid contralto voice. On the novelty side of the evening's programme will be found Mz BE. W. Heald (Iinglish concertina solos), Myr. Alfred Tohill (mouth organ solos), and Mr. Stan Birch (banjo-mandolin solos). Humorous recitations will be given by Miss Naare Hooper on Saturday evening. One of her items will be from Sheridan’s "School for Scandal," and another will be "Yon Monts Noties," which is how a French maid discusses her "one month’s notice."
