People Who Will Be Worth Listening To In the Next Few Weeks. TUREGLERERUT

@QIYDNEY DE VRIES, the Dutch baritone, who has become : friendly with 2YA and IYA listeners since he arrived a few weeks ago, is scheduled for a talk from 2YA on August 14. His annotations and introductions spoken before the numbers he sings have been delivered in a chatty style, giving listeners some idea of the friendly manner which they may expect in his forthcoming talk. Dr. A. C. Keys, of the Victoria College Staff, Wellington, is to speak on "Theatre Manners Then and Now" from 2YA on August 27, with special reference to conditions in .the old days in Wellington. _A series of three talks on "Pirates"’ is to be delivered from IYA on August 20, 27 and September 3, by Mr, J. T. Dawson. This Auck-

land man has made .an unusually close study of pirates and piracy, and is in a position to pass on to listeners many — disillusionments about pirate personalities and _histories. There are mauy common misbeliefs about the siden terrors of the sea. Another series begins on September 3 from 2YA on ‘Modern Utopias." Dr. W. Sutch opens the series with a talk on the earlier schools of Socialism Mr. Alexander Scott will follow _ later, covering in his talk the thoughts of Edward Bellamy, author of "Looking Backward." Mr. W. N. Pharazyn will complete the series with two talks, the first of which will deal with such people as H. G. Wells and G. B. Shaw and their speculations as to the future of the world, ~ fmm, oA EESTEEOGGRRREE EDGR UREA DRGRTDADEEGGU NDE R EGE --,
