An absorbing narrative of dangerous days! Gouverneur Morris, the author, takes us to the blue south seas where soft trade winds blow eternally ov-u graceful palms and rolling dunes. In this peaceful setting ho has built a vivid drama of fighting men and buried gold that stands out from etc •serene tropical background like a fiery comet in an ebony night. To !<? drugged and thrown into an eddying harbour, and to wake up in the arms of a beautiful princess of dreams, wa? the strange cxptrieneo of tho young author, Parrish. It seemed only yesterday that Fate stepped in to 10arrange tho peaceful regularity of h.'« life.

The advent of the Westminster Glee Singers, under the direction of Mr Edward Brnnseomhe, is being looked forward to by music lovers with much interest, and according to the hooking which has taken place since Saturday the gland farewell concert at the Princess Theatre on Thursday

evening next promises to he most successful. The exquisite singing by the Westminsters when they were here last .June remains a delightful memory. and the prospect of again listening to the singing of excerpts from grand opera, rendering of sacred numbers. their enchanting serenades, or their charming folk songs is pleasureable. The party now consists of 11 soloists. there having been three hoys Leonard and Thomas Moyne and - Arthur Valentine, brought from England, and these with the two hoy soprano soloists Edmund 'Walter and Albert Cooper have created a positive sensation throughout Australia. In view of the return visit to New Zealand Mr Rrnnscombe has prepared an entirely new repertoire of vocal numbers, and these were presented during the Sydney season, and the musical critics of Sydney are of opinion that these programmes tiro the host given during the whole series of 32 concerts in the New South Wales capital. By special request a special feature will ho made of the excerpts from Grand Opera which arc at till times popular: new

ballads. glees, madrigals and 1 minoroils catches will also Im> presented and tlio old favourites will not be forgotten, which arc sadly missed from many concert programmes. Til ccmmenting on one of the concerts given at Wellington during the recent phenomenally successful season there, the “Dominion” stated: “ft is many years since it has been given to music lovers the pleasure of listening to such a fascinating vocal entertainment, n« that given liy the Westminster Glee Singers. The two hours’ entertainment passed all too (illicitly.“ The box plan is at Mclntosh's, and intending patrons nre notified that this is the last opportunity they will have of hearing the AVestminsiers.
