Aladame Blanche Arral is to appear at Gisborne on April 23rd and il 26tli A critic states: “Blanche. Arral is incarnate music, melody made visible in curves and dimples. She takes her audiences into her confidence, and thrills them till their very corpuscles lilt in chorus. Never was a more winsome and convincing creature than this dainty French woman. On her lips the masters of melody proclaim the very necessary gospel .that other things count, in addition to politics and grim moralities and upliolstored humbug and gotting-on-in-the-world. She teaches that music is not a pretty plaything or a mere distraction. But, with all that, her glorious voice is a wonderful instrument of pleasure. In an age of gramophones and pianolas, or circular saws and foghorns, she,: comes as a boon and a benediction.”
