Over 2,000 people from Ipswich and surrounding districts had packed the Wintergarden Theatre to hear the first Amateur Hour programme broadcast from Ipswich. The Theatre was so packed, that those who could not find a seat stood in the aisles. Performances included vocal and instrumental items and a mimic act. Voting returns on the night (including votes from Brisbane and Sydney) placed the Junior Cambrian Choir, conducted by Miss Lyla McGuire, in first place, with 1,927 votes. Second was railwayman Tom O'Connor, a mimic who received 1,386 votes.
