In- the Operatic Section will be included items from "I'Pagliaci," Samson and Deliah, Sadko, etc., and should provide a feast of good music. .The Jazz Section will "go witt a bang'/ from start to finish, and is brimful of various ingredients, making the whole into a sparkling cocktail of pep ana pleasantries. ~.."-. Ono of the foatures of the concert will be the bailleis arranged and directed- by Miss Katnlecn Bartish, whose dance recitals have been so tremendously popular,in.Lower Hutt. Miss Bartish is a most talented instructress and any items she arranges are certain to be "head-lines."
