"Galapagos"

Broadcast by 2YA, 3YA, ' and 4YA Alt those who heard "Galapagos" when presented at 1YA some months ago acclaimed it as one of the finest entertainments ever broadcast. Numerous requests for a repetition were received. There will, therefore, be great interest in the announcement that on Friday, August 30, it will be ‘ presented at 4YA, and that on Friday, September 6, it will be broadcast by 2YA and 38YA, ° "Galapagos" concerns the wreck of a ship on the island of that name, and the dramatic atmosphere of the story is created by the singing of sea chanties, the sound of ships’ bells, noises incidental to shipboard, the surf on the ‘reef, etc. These effects are very realistic.

4YA is taking advantage of the oceasion to prepare a seafaring progranime for the first half of the evening. Sea chanties and other gongs of the sea will be sung. The cast of characters for "Galapagos" .will be‘ Red Peterson, Major F.-H. Lampen. Svenson, Mr. Allan Young. The Captain, Mr. J. B. McConnell. Betty, Miss Anita Winkel. Hans, Mr. Frank Parsons. Other members of the crew, Mr. O. Garden, Mr. H.'G. Bond, and Mr, R. B. Macdonald. 7 The 1YA presentation was under the direction of Mr. J. F. Montague and -his able lieutenant, Mr. George Warren. These two gentlemen will be responsible for the’ production at’ 2YA, and there will, be the same noises and effects which made the 1YA presentation so successful,’
