THE FISK JUBILEE SINGERS.

Tilt’ 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 delighted iiiulienees. At the change of- progin mine last evening, when the bracketed choruses ‘Steal Away,'* and •ford's Prayer' broke softly from the lips of the singers, paskyrecolleellons of these appealing numbers were immediately vivified. The subsequent choruses were most interesting and entertaining, apart from rjieir vocal work, as they created 1 1,,' 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'ifc were, listened rapturously to'ttie music as it lion ted forth on the still evening atr. The old plantation music was in marked contrast to the pot ponri of ragtime melodies and popular airs also rendered by the company} but till found favour with the audience because of their splendid rendition. This talented company appears at tin Town Hail on Tuesday. October 281 h. Tin- box plan is now open at it. L. Heath’s.
