Thursday's Unique Concert

All in Readiness for the Opening of the New and Greater DIC.

A COMPLAINT was made recently that the programmes put out by 2YA were "consistently samey," and 30 endeavour has been made to depart from the usual. Thursday’s concert will indeed be a departure in this repect, and everything is in readiness for the special programme to be presented by the management of the D.1.C. to commemorate the opening of their new buildings. Full details of this concert have already been given, and the arrangements, reflecting great credit on its organisers, promise to eventuate in something altogether unusual. The new and greater D.I.C., situated in one of Wellington’s most busy thoroughfares, is indeed a very fine and imposing building, and will be in the near future one of Wellington’s finest buildings. The whole management of the D.I.C. has been rearranged with a view to greater efficiency and greater variety. Many new aspects of the trade are being introduced, and it was found that the old building was totally inadequate. No more fitting opening ceremony could be arranged. Those responsible are to be commended because of the fact that the whole concert given by Wellington’s finest talent is to be broadcast. Yor some considerable time arrange- ments for this have been under way, and the concert should be one that will be heard and remembered by all.
