Talent Quest Continues to Be Popular
Further evidence of the popularity of the quest for amateur talent, being conducted in aid of the Otaki War Memorial Queen Carnival, was forthcoming at the Civic Theatre on Wednesday night, when a large crowd again generously applauded competitors efforts. Miss N. Henwood * was first to appear, and pleased with a recitation, "Simple Simon." She was followed by a vocal trio, the Harvey
Sisters, whose rendering of the popular "Blue Smoke" resulted in an encore being demanded. Miss K. Hammond was heard in pop^ar vocal numbers, while the fourth artist was Master Barry Gray, who also pleased with his solo. Mr. S. Ransfield and his guitar were deservedly popular in lively numbers, as were a vocal duo by Misses M. Williams and R. Rikihana to the accompaniment of a banjo. Mr. S. Ransfield made a second appearance, following which an impromptu "quiz" saw two special prizes awarded. Voting resulted: — A class: Sonny Ransfield, vocal solo; B ciass: Barry Gray, vocal solo; C' class; Misses Mihi Williams and Raita Rikihana, vocal duet.
