Continuation of the welcome by Ngāti Poneke Māori Club to the visiting cast of "Black Nativity" in Wellington.
Black Nativity cast sing: "The Lords Prayer".

Te Arohanui Concert Party visited Hawaii early 1964. Speaking on their
behalf is Mrs Riini Kara of Gisborne. She is interviewed about the Polynesian Cultural Centre near Honolulu, set up by the Church of Latter Day Saints. The guides come from different Polynesian islands and display their own culture, houses and art works. The Māori village there was started by carvers from the college in Hamilton, led by John Taiapa. It is staffed by church missionary couples from New Zealand who are in Hawaii for two years. She explains the programme performed by her group on their trip.

Waiata-a-ringa: Karangatia ra - Te Arohanui Concert Party

Kaikōrero: Entertainer Howard Morrison is interviewed by Leo Fowler about the opportunities facing young Māori today. He says his people need to not be shy and push themselves ahead to reach their goals. He gives some advice to young Māori wanting to get into show business. He talks about the path the Howard Morrison Quartet took to find success. He says many think heading to a city, turning up at a coffee bar run by pakeha and singing for the price of a coffee and hamburger will lead to success but they are wrong.
He talks about the need to find good teachers and his dream of setting up a training school for Māori entertainers.
