A fine supporting programme has also been arranged by the Christchurch Broadcasting Trio, AYA Topics A NOVEL programme is to be presented from 4YA this evening. It will depict "A Social Evening in a Country Barn." With only one or two exceptions all the items on this occasion will be those sung in the eighties and nineties. _ A particularly fine combination, well known in the city as Dagg’s Band, which specialises in the presentation of old-time dance music, has been engaged, while the vocal section of

this most popular programme is to be provided by the ever-popular MHarmonists Quartet. The programme is not to take the form of a dance in a country barn altogether, but is a social evening, songs being interspersed with dance items. Naturally, the programme will commence with a square dance, while the quadrilles and several of the old march favourites will be played. The band will include on the . programme such excellent melodies as "A Bicycle Built for Two," "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree," and "Kor Old Times’ Sake." Waltzes to be presented include "If Those Lips. Could Only Speak." "White Wings," "Won’t You Buy My Pretty Flowers?" and "After the Ball is Over." The HighjJand schottische and barn dances present ample scope for "My Grandfather’s Clock," "John Peel," "Soldiers o the Queen," and "Hello! Who's Your Lady Friend?" To add to the instrumental section of the programme Mr. R. Shannon, a member of the band, will present a cornet solo, the ever-popular "Silver Threads Among the Gold,’ while two excellent gramophone recordings, entitled "Songs of the Past" and "Nursery Rhymes," have been included. With regard to the presentation of square dances for this programme, such as the Quadrilles and the Alberts, a Master of Ceremonies will call out the figures ,while the orchestra ‘is providing the music, the same procedure taking place with the Chain Waltz and the Medley at the conclusion of the programme. This should add considerably to the interest of this delightful entertainment.
