HE service in First Church will be broadeast on Sunday evening, The Rey. Dr. Hunter will be the preacher. A relay of the studio concert at 3YA will follow. HE Orchestral Sextette, now a very popular combination at 4YA, is to render some excellent numbers on Monddy’s programme. This sextette, of which Mr. A. W. Pettitt is the pianist-c conductor, provides plenty of variety, and is a source of pleasure to all listeners. Two very fine waltzes are included in its programme on this occasion-"‘Amorita" (by Ozibulka), and Ivanovici’s "Danube Waves." Ineluded on the same programme is Mr. W. B. Lambert, who is the possessor . of a very rich bass,voice. He will sing "The Muleteer of Malaga," "Harlequin" and "The Carol Singers." The last is a new number composed by Sterndale Bennett. It is an extremely fine song and calls for artistic interpretation. Mr, Dall, the dramatic actor of. the Dunedin Shakespeare Club, who recently gave his first radio performance with splendid effect, is to recite "Buckingham’s Farewell" (by Shakespeare) and "The Burial of Little Nell" (by Charles Dickens). Both . of these numbers call for great dramatic ability, and in this branch of the histrionie art Mr. Dall excels.
