ENTERTAINMENTS

DAISY KENNEDY. . Few musical artists to visit Australia have created such an impression as Miss Daisy Kennedy, the brilliant violinist, who'is touring the Commonwealth and New Zealand-under the direction of J. .and N. Tail:. Miss Kennedy went from Adolaxlo eleven years ago to continue her pliuties under Hie famous Professor Seveik, and now returns a world-famous musieia.il. Mis?" Kennedy gave three big concerts with the State Con.servntoriuni, and five violin recitals, but these were not sufficient to cope with the demand of the Sydney public tn s.cg and hear this wonderful girl. Describing the third Sydney Town Hall concert, tho Sydney "Sun" says; "Hundreds of peoplo were turned mvay from the Town Hall last night when the State Orchestra presented a fine programme, _ with llis:> Daisy Kennedy, tho distinguished violinist, lis soloist. Indeed, tho rush for admission to the concert was so great, that the aid of the police had to bo called to adjust matters and get the overflow into the si reels." "Of her sex—the' foremost living violinist," writes the London ''Morning Post" of_ Misa Kennedy, and the London "Daily Graphic" describes her ns "-one of the few—the very few—great violinists of tho world." In addition to her wonderful musical genius Miss Kennedy has remarkablo personal charms. "Tall and extremely graceful, the violinist is an extrenielv attractive personage on the _ platform," writes the Sydney "Sun'-;" critic. The "Sydney Morning Herald" f-iys: /'Judging by current re-marks, tho interest taken in D.vsy Kennedy the woman is onlv second to the regard in which she is held as an artist. Amongst, visiting stars she must be ranhed in the fonner respect with Clara Butt." The distingu'idied artist will give a series of four recitals in the Town Ilall Concert Chamber on January 10. 13, 15, and 17.
