A Notable Address

Appreciated by Listeners "THE broadcasting of the presidential address by Dr. J. 8. Elliott, at the British Medical Association’s Conference, was the noteworthy event of last week’s 2YA _ service. Appreciation has been expressed by a very wide circle of listeners. The address was of a very high standard indeed, and unquestionably a particularly wide circle of responsible people was pleas--ed to have this opportunity of listen--ing direct to an address of such outstand&mg character. It is usually the experience of the station on the occasion of the broadeasting of outside speeches or functions that a certain number of listeners, who are devoted to the interests of jazz and light music, ring the studio entering complaint and wanting to know when they will be getting their particular fare. It is noteworthy, however, that. on the evening that Dr. Blliott was being broadcast, only some four rings of this character came through. ‘This is taken as an indication of the very general popularity of the doctor’s address. On the same evening listeners were given the additional novelty of listening to the concerted voices of the party of English boys now in the Dominion. These were induced to attend at the studio, and from 10 to 10.30 there was a very pleasant impromptu concert. _ Their choral work was extremely fresh and invigorating.
