SATURDAY

From Auckland A VARIETY programme provided by local artists and recordings has been arranged. Barry Ingall’s HaWaiians will contribute Hawaiian melodies, , The Little Theatre Society will present a one-act play, "Cecil," by Dr. George de Clive Lowe. Wellington Notes A party of Maoris, known as the Te Rawhiti Maori Entertainers will appear on the evening programme, giving instrumental and vocal numbers. This will be the initial radio performance by these entertainers, who are all accomplished artists. From 3 and 4YA "THE vocal portion of the musical programme ‘at 4YA (and relayed to 83YA) will consist mainly of popular choruses’ sung by the Regal Four. The Bellbird Hawaiian Trio will. also

play popular airs, while the Radiettes will introduce humour in patter, song and dance. Miss B. Rawlinson, contralto, will sing the Maori slumber song "Hine e Hine."

A Programme Innovation’ AS is well known, broadcasting programmes have to be made up several weelis in advance, but an innovation departing from this practice is to be introduced in re- . gard to recordings, At each sta~« tion, half an hour a week is to be set aside for a selection of ‘the latest records. The selection will be restricted to light and bright numbers. This half hour of broadeast entertainment will be the reverse of depressing, and is certain to be keenly looked forward to every week.
