The humorous items of the evening will be given by Mr. J, J. Flewellyn. A MISCELLANEOUS programme with a fair proportion of classical items will constitute the first hour of

Wednesday evening’s programme, the. : second half comprising a relay of the * Christchureh Orchestral Society’s concert. The studio vocalists will be Miss Nellie Lowe, Miss Hilda Hutt, Mr. T. G. Rogers, and Mr. A. G. Thompson. HERE will be no doubt about the popularity of Thursday evening’s concert, the programme for which will consist of plantation melodies. It wilt be very entertaining to have a whole evening devoted to the melodies which were sung by the negroes of the Southern States of America. In these songs the negroes give expression to the whole gamut of their feelings, from. sadness and pessimism to exhilaration. There are songs like "My Old Kentucky. Home," others are lullabies,’ then there are songs of religious fervour, and others of a strong humorous’ nature. Among the last-named will be the old favourite, "The Camptown ‘Races." The elocutionary items to be given by Miss Maiona Juriss will also relate to the negroes. A song cyele, "The Little Cactus Flower," for contralto and_ bass voices, will be sung by the Dinky _ Duo on Friday evening. This song, which will continue for ten minutes, is not specially well known, but the © Woodford-Finden composition is certain to give great pleasure to listeners. The Dinky Duo will also ~~ be heard in Messager’s "A Little More." : A NEW yocalist for Friday eveninz will be Mrs. Ida Graham, who a! few years back was a popular concert: platform artist in Christchurch. Mr. W. Bradshaw has three very fine songs ‘ for Friday evening-‘‘The Sailor's ~ Grave" (by Sullivan), a song rarely’ sung, "Ailsa Mine" (sung by Mr. Brad- . shaw some time ago and repeated by’ request), and the well-known "Star of . Bethlehem." A new instrumental combination, | the Eyres Social Instrumental Trio, will make its radio debut on Friday, and will play a number of ukulele selections-walizes, and fox-trots. Mr. H. Instone has another of his own original humorous recitations for Friday evening. He has called it "The Swagger and the Tin Lizzie." N Saturday evening 3YA will reproadeast 2YA’s week-end programme. ON Sunday evening from 6.30 to 7 pm. there will be a_ relay of chimes from the New Anglican Church» at Fendalton. Mr. Claydon will be the bellringer.
