Henry Hall Would Like to Hear from You!

_ Ur. Henry Hall, whose message to New Zedland listeners is published bclow, is the leader of the B.B.O. Dance Band, one of the most popular tiusical combinations in the world. A caricature of Mir, Hall appears on the right, Te Hongi! Greetings. | Such is the universal character of broadcasting that the B:B.C. Dance Orchestra, which I direct, is fully conscious of the fact ‘that its daily transmissions from Studio BB, in Broadcasting House, London, are now reaching the uttermost ends of the earth. It is giving me pleasure to frame my dahce programmes so as to make the greatest appeal to audiences in New Zealand and Australia, India, South Africa, Canada, and all the colonies and dependencies which go to make up this great Empire. In the preparation of B.B.C. dance programmes | give pride of place whenever possible to British tunes, believing that these are most acceptable to listeners overseas no less than to listeners here in Great Britain. I am always glad to have suggestions and would heartily welcome a line from listeners under the Southern Cross to whom Empire broadcasting has become anew and novel entertainment.
