MONDAY

Jottings from 2YA EVERAL outstanding artists appear on the programme to-night. Mrs. Frank Tunley, soprano, is one of Wellington’s most brilliant soloists. She has performed on many notable occasions, and to-night listeners are to hear her for the first time. Included in her numbers is the beautiful "Ave Maria" (by Bach-Gounod), with. violin obbligato. Another outstanding soloist is Hilda Chudley, who has often been heard from

the Wellington concert platform. Miss Chudley has been heard from 2YA, but certainly not often enough, and her appearance to-night will be a welcome one. . The tenor, D. L. Irwin, well-known to 2YA listeners, will render several delightful numbers, including a bracket with a ‘cello obbligato played by George Ellwood. Mary Cooley, whose dramatic ‘rendition of "The Lady and the Tiger" has evoked considerable appreciation, will come on to-night as "The Storyteller." On the instrumental side there will be the 2YA Orchestrina, a piano and ‘cello item by George Ellwood and Gordon Short, a group of ’cello solos by George Ellwood, and a programme of

dance music from the Adelphi Cabaret, interspersed with recordings from the studio. Notes from Christchurch DERRY’S MILITARY BAND and assisting artists will provide the programme at 3YA to-night. Jottings from 4YA O-NIGHT'S programme will be of specially selected recordings.
