FISK JUBILEE SINGERS.

TO-NIGHT.

Few, very few indeed, touring organisations have so thoroughly stood the test of time or so ingratiated themselves in the high esteem of all classes of people as the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who will give one of their unique and characteristic entertainments at the Public Hall, Foxton, tonight. Of a comparatively recent entertainment the Sydney Morning Herald thus remarked :—“The perennial company of melody artists with which Australia has been familiar, with more or less varying personnel, but with the fixed name of Fisk Jubilee Siugers, for over two decades, returned to Sydney on Saturday, and opened at the Town Hall. No doubt that great hall was taken by the management because no smaller suitable house was available and judging by the numbers present, and the enthusiasm of the welcome, the engagement of a small hall would have meant loss to the company, and disappointment to the public, kike the combination itself, its methods change only in degree. There is the charming scheme of plantation melody, varying only in the words sung or chanted. But the programme is lightened—to say brightened in a programme that is all bright and cheery would be incorrect —with touches of excellent comedy, and from beginning to end is a delightful surprise packet in which all are prizes.” Seats may be reserved at Mrs Nye’s.
