However, the pictures are all interesting, even to the tyro, who could certainly appreciate j the work of such artists as Frank Charles Hennessey, A.R.C.A., Augustus Kenderline, H. R. Watson, R.C.A., and Lilias A. Newton, A.R.C.A. Male Voice Choir. The second concert given this year by the Male Voice Choir took place on Monday evening, and once more the large audience was most appreciative.
