LOWER HUTT FREE KINDERGARTEN.

GBAND' CONCEBT,

The Mcfera Community Hall was taxed to its uttermost on Thursday night when a concert was given by pupils of Miss Bartosh and q.uite a numiber of the Hutt's most noted musical and eloeutionery performers. Mr. W. Nash" M.P. was present. T*ie first items of thd evening "Dance With a Fan," a ballet toy the little Misses H. AQgie, B. Caldwell, G/. Broughton, J. McMahon, B. Elliott, D. Elliott, N. Mackay and N. Wilson, was a very dainty. and chaTming performance. The ballet frocks were of blue and silver or pink and silver and fans "to tone"'and each small maid wore silver slippers. The central performer coquetted witk a dainty frilled parasol. Then little Miss J. Webster, robed in a military costume of red satin,, sang a charming song in eulogy of her "V.C" daddy and offered to share him when he came iiome with a small companion whose daddy would never return. When the curtain next Tolled back the audience was most intrigued to see that a rather large sized egg alone occupied the stage—till a most fascinating little yellow chicken (little Miss Aldred) pecked her way out of it and bopped and chirped round the "yard." She was xeplete, even to the tiny projection which was all the. tail she could boast of! Master B. Glennie then sang "Bed Head," a lament or remonstrance at all | the epithets TviiHJh are habitually hurl<©d at one unfortunate enough to be the possessor xjff a "red headl 1' Little

Miss N. Mackay, in. costume, was the next performer in a "Polish" dance. The fascinating- rhythm of these continental dances never loses its allure. "My Aim Folk," sung -by Miss M. Carriek, a singer who has just recently come in our midst, was rendered without sentimentality but from .an. interpretive point of view left nothing to .'be desired. Miss Carrick's voice too, is of rare depth and quality and her artistry will always ensure her a welcome. Mrs Burgess accompanied her. "Sweethearts" depicted:by little Miss Wilson and Master A. Lee, was a very sweet .performance. The lady was presented with a posy and eventually coyly disappeared behind 'her fan! Mr. F. Ro!bson as ''Boy. .Poster" then "addressed his flock" so successfully that he /brought the house down and gave an equally appreciated encore. When next tho curtain was rolled up, a very laTge iband-fbox in company with two daintily garbed small boys, excited great interest which increased when a most \srweet French; maiden stepped out of it and caverted with her enamoured admirers. Another popular Hutt singer then sang very charmingly a song descriptive of a maiden's rhapsodies at her first ball. The song suited the sweet lyric quality of Mrs. Burgess's voice excellently. Her encore number was "A Little Brown Owl." , Mr. Assheton Harbord proved most entertaining in the next numiber w&ich pertained to the delusions entertained by one who was rather uproariously ushering in the New Year. Mr. M. Irrwin's monologue was uproariously received and he responded with a clever spoonjuggling performance. Little Miss B. Elliott's item "Mr. Brown Gets His Hair Cut" was most amusing and was followed by a charmingly played violin solo by Miss D. Nolan, accompanied iby Mrs 'Burgess. Miss D. Elliott then .gave a dainty skipping display after which Mr. Har.borcl again entertained his audience with a musical monologue descriptive of the ridiculous reminiscences of an absent-minded man. His encore was an equally humourous monologue descriptive of a Yiddish gentleman. A dance "Vanity" was the next number, by a small dancer, Miss J. McMaJion, wi.o danced very daintily, the while she plied a powder-puff and mirror! «Then came a plaint "I've Lost My Dog" by Master J. (Hennie, who seemed very grieved over his loss, even though his canine friend had not .possessed the most conspicuous good looks! A "Humourous Sketch" by Messrs F. Boibson and N. Irwin evidently proved very humourous to the audience, for it earned uproarious applause after which these gentlemen generously responded. Then a very reailistie gollywog (Miss 'd. Elliott) appared and danced in just the spineless -way one would imagine a gollywog would dance. Mrs Burgess then sang "Pipes of Pan" delightfully ' after which Miss B. Elliott personated a policeman and his varied and arduous duties. "80-Peep and Boy Blue" was a most sweetly sung dialogu-e between the little Misses C. and N. Simon, in costume after which Miss H. Webster, looking very charming in an apricot taffeta, and tulle crinoline sang "My Crinoline" most charmingly. Master M. Pearee then recited "It1 Isn't Worth It" to the amusement of the audience, after winch Miss R. Gillon personated.the "Enchanted Doll" most effectively. A baritone solo "Tine Floral Dance," by Mr. Smith, -with Mrs Burgess accompanying, followed, Mr. Smith giving "Waiata Poi" for his recall number,.. Then Misses B. Elliott and J. McMahon, looking very quaint in Dutch costume, followed with a dance characteristic of the country after whit Miss Carriek again charmed, her audience. The concluding item was a " Russian Dan.ce'' in costume by "the Misses B. Gillon, O. Pope and D. Staples. Mr. Sutherland was tthe announcer for the evening and at the close of the entertainment, Mr Bntherland~on behalf of the Kindergarten Committeee most heartily thanked the performers for the splendid evening's entertainment thy bad all so thoroughly enjoyed. •
