R. J. F. MONTAGU, of Auckland, who will broadcast from the three southern stations-2YA, 38YA, and 4YA-during January, desires us

to broadcast a message to. his many known and unknown friends on the air, "I am looking forward with unfeigned pleasure to my visit to the south, and I desire to express my thanks to the Broadcasting Company for affording me the opportunity of speaking to such vast audiences, from many of whom I have received messages of thanks and encouragement in the past. I do

not know, of course, What other artists may think, but for my part, I always consider I am greatly privijeged in being permitted to speak be-

fore the microphone. "T have taken great pains to arrange my items so that they may appeal to the greatest number of listeners

-there will be something for every taste, I hope. Farcical comedy, light comedy, dramatic scenes and sketches, selections from Shakespeare and other classics, and one Maori scena-The Battle of Orakau’will be presented. I hope to produce at Dunedin the great tragic sea story ‘Galapagos,’ with its wonderful musical numbers. Among my selections will be several never before given

on fhe air, and some ‘old friends’ in a new dress. Ladies and gentlemen, my respectful geetings to you. I hope that I may give you pleasure."
