Miss E. Harrhy Again to Broadcast from 2YA

Next Appearance Monday, April 28

Miss EDITH HARRHY, who has been giving much pleasure to New Zealand radio listeners during her present visit to this Dominion, will make her second appearance at 2YA on Monday, April 28. Ber items will comprise pianoforte solos (by Chopin and Palmgren) and songs of her own composition. Among the latter will be "Heartbreak," "Requiem," "Colette," "Roses for the King," "Pierrot’s Cradle Song," and "The -Beebeck." "Colette" is Miss Flarrhy’s latest song.

The words of "Roses for the King," which were written by Dr. C. H. Souter, tell the story of the boy who came from the Isle of Man to send roses to King -George during his illness. When she learnt the destination of the purchase the flower girl in Piccadilly would have none of his money: "Here’s a kiss for George of Man," she said, "and.roses for the King!" "My husband," said Miss MHarrhy, "sent a copy of the song to the King and received a delightful letter of thanks from Sir Hdward Wallington."
