Notes from 3YA

R,. and Mrs. J. W. Bailey, the two talented Wanganui entertainers who have frequently been heard from 2YA, and also occasionally from 3YA, will be passing through Christchurch next week, and will appear on Monday evening. They will present two sketches, "The .Reason Why" and

"Jealousy." Mr. and Mrs. Bailey are radio artists who are well worth hearing. A fine musical programme has been arranged by Mr. J. Scott, conductor of Derry’s Military Band, for Monday evening. Instrumental items will also be played by the Studio Trio, these. items including Wagner’s "Star of Eve" and Chopin’s "Polonaise in A." Among other numbers the band will play "In a Persian Market." The vocalists on Monday’s programme will be Mrs. Daisy Cherry (soprano), Miss Agnes Richardson (contralto), and Mr. Hrnest Lang, all very acceptable artists, who will present a variety of items. SoME songs which were very popular in the ’80’s of last century appear on Wednesday’s programme, and will be very much appreciated by the older generations. Among these may be mentioned "When the Heart is Young," "J Arise from Dreams of Thee," "Mhree >.ishers," "The Yeoman’s Wedding Song," and Blumenthal’s "My Queen." Another song which will make a great appeal will be "The Sweetest Flower that Blows," one of the most popular songs sung by Dame Clara Butt. The vocalists for the evening will be Miss Mabel Eaglesome, Madame Eva Litchfield, Mr. Ad. R. Thompson, and Mr, J. Graham Young. The last-named is new to radio. A pupil of Mr. Robert Grey, of Auckland, late of the Carl Rosa Opera Company, he has a fine style and well-controlled voice. He has been very successful in competitions. Mr. Alan Brown, a popular performer at 8YA, will provide much droll bumour under the titles "A Touch of Liver" and "Dressing, Morning and Luncheon." The instrumental music of the evening will be contributed by the Bohemian Quintet, Miss Irene Morris (violin), and Miss Lucy Fullwood (pianiste). "HE Golden Threshold," characteristically Eastern, will be presented, with full accompaniment, by the Studio Trio, on Thurseday evening. The verses are by the Indian poet, Saropim Naidu, set to music by Liza Lehmann. This is another of the charming song eyeles for which the name ofLiza Lehmann is famous. Solos, duets, and choruses compose "The Golden Threshold." The vocalists will be Madame Gower Burns, Mrs. Anne Harper, Mr. Ernest Rogers, and Mr. James Filer, the whole production being under the direction of Madame. __.. In the supporting miscellaneous programme, occupying the second half of the concert session, the same artists will perform, and two elocutionary numbers will be given by Mr. W. H. Moses. As a ’cello solo, Mr. Harold Beck will play Rimsky-Korsakov’s delightful melody, "Chanson Hindoue." Soma interesting operatic numbers will feature the programme to be presented by the Radiolians on Friday evening, these numbers comprising selections from "Faust," "Patience," "Maid of the Mountains," and "Rebel Maid," in solos, duets, and trios. Combining as it will an excellent instrumental programme by the Bailey-Mars-ton Dance Orchestra, Friday evening’s éntertainment should be a very enjoyable one. This very popular organisation will play numerous selections as well as dance tunes.

EMEMBER "Two Little Girls in Blue," "Still His Whiskers Grew" and the "Bicycle Built for Iwo"? Or "The Old Kent Road," "My Old Dutch" and "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo"? If you have, almost forgotten these old favourites your memory will be revived on Saturday evening when these and other songs which were once very popular on every music hall stage and concert platform will be sung. The entertainment will be full of humour, too-a real vaudeville. The whole two hours’ programme has been arranged and will be presented by the Revellers’ Concert Party. ,
