Auckland Notes. Radio Magic HERE will be very many interesting items on the evening’s programme from 1¥YA._ Particularly outstanding is that portion wherein listeners will be entertained for 2 quarter of an hour with "Radio Magic," to be given by Mister Ree. This type of entertainment is very popular in other countries, and is an innovation as far as 1YA is concerned, The Celeste Trio, consisting of Miss Winifred Hill, Miss Gwenda Weir, and Mrs. Daisy Basham, will be heard in trios and solos, and the Snappy Three, very popular with their lighter music, will be heard in vocal and instrumental items. Mr. Ivan Perrin is a particularly fine pianist, and a player of novelty solos, and included in his items is a melody of his own composition. The Mati Trio, consisting of three Rarotongans, will present items from their lengthy repertoire. Another new singer to-night will be Mr. Arthur Simpson, who will sing "Devonshire Cream and Cider," "Wondering Why," and "Red Devon by the Sea." 2VYA Features. "THE Salon Orchestra, under Mr. M. T, Dixon, will play as an overture a selection from "The Chocolate Sol-
