FRIDAY

Notes from Auckland The evening’s studio concert will be provided by the Jubilee Institute for the Blind. These young people, although afflicted with loss of sight, give excellent concerts from the station. They have a small band, jazz band, school choir, and several excellent soloists, who combine to give a programme that should appeal to listeners. The Jubilee Institute is doing excellent work for the blind of New Zealand, and one of the major activities is a study of music. Featured at 2YA HE evening concert from 2YA will be a miscellaneous type. The orchestrina will play several well known items, while the soloists, who have been well chosen, will be heard in many popular numbers. Mrs. Mildred Kenny’s Guitar Trio will entertain with light popular airs. Jottings from 3YA O-NIGHT’S programme will be of 4 miscellaneous nature, contributed by the Valencia Quartet, and the Studio Octet under Mr. Harold Beck. ° From Dunedin A VARIED programme will be broadcast to-night, there being . pianoaccordion solos, cornet solos, and dulcitone numbers on the instrumental side, and tenor, contralto, and. bass-baritone solosists on the vocal side. A new ari-

ist in the person of Doreen Sheehy, who has an excellent broadcasting voice, will appear. Dora Drake has not appeared at 4YA for some considerable time, and she will come before the microphone this evening in "When You Come Home," "Night is Our Sister," and "Go Down to Kew in Lilac Time." The presentation of dulcitone solos by Thos, J. Kirk-Burnnand should prove of considerable interest. Mr. KirkBurnnand will play on this instrument such well-known and popular airs. as "Bells of St. Mary’s," "The First Noel," and "Minuet" (by Paderewski), "Oh, Dem Golden Slippers," "Steal Away," "O, Susanna," and "Aloha Oe" The dulcitone is a beautiful instrument for broadeasting purposes, and the presentation this evening will have the added interest of being a novelty.
