On this occasion the entertainment will be a departure from the "Radio ‘Pageant’ of the Maori Race" which has twice been presented very successfully to the great credit of the performers, A fresh lib-. retto is being prepared which will make increased demands on the histrionic and musical capabilities of the party. The Wanganui natives who compose the party are not professional entertainers but by the merits of their performances these young folk are demonstrating their natural talent. In this connection it is worthy of noting that one of. the party, Miss Ka Winiata, has composed a song which is shortly to be broadcast. All listeners who had the privilege. of. hearing the Radio Pageant as presented by the Wanganui Maori party will look forward with pleasurable anticipation to the July programmes.
