THE FISK JUBILEE SINGERS.

The Adelaide ‘‘Register’' says—‘‘No one remembers much about:the original Fisks, except that they created a sensation wherever they went. The same may be said of the later Fisks for they are packing the Town Hall nightly with delightedaudiences. At the change of programme lasi evening, when the bracketed choruses ‘Steal Away,’ and ‘Lord's Prayer' broke softly from the lips of the singers, past recollections of these appealing- numbers were immediately vivified. The subsequent choruses were most interesting and entertaining,-apart from their vocal work, as they created the evening atmosphere of an old plantation with its sprinkling of log- cabins, in which the dusky residents, their day's toil over, were devoting themselves to melody. The audience, eavesdroppers, as it were, listened rapturously toTlie music as it tloated forth on the still evening air. The old plantation music was in marked contrast to the pot pouri of ragtime melodies and popular airs also rendered by the company; but all found favour with the audience because of their splendid rendition. This talented company appears at the Town"Hull"on Tuesday. October 28th. The box plan is now open at li. L. Heath’s.
