The incidental music will be supplied by the Salon Orehestra, under the conductorship of Mat-Dixon. Berthold and Bent, popular guitar duo, will be heard in popular numbers. Dunedin Features " A NIGHT with the Scots" is the title given to this evening’s entertainment. The bagpipes will be represented by | the Dunedin Highland Pipe Band, a | fine combination, which will appear four times during the evening playing traditional music of Scotland, including Highland dances. Supporting the band will be Eva Judd in violin items and the ever-popular "Regal Four," whose presentations at 4YA are always very acceptable. The Scottish programme this evening does not contain what might be termed the "hackneyed" ballads, but older melodies, very seldom heard, will be presented, among these being "On Cessnock Banks," "Sleepest Thou or Wakest Thou?" and "My Nanies Awa’.’ During the evening Mr. W. B. McEwan, Dunedin’s Public Librarian, will give a fifteen’ minutes’ talk on "The Love Songs of Burns."
