THE KENNEDYS.

.TO-NIGHT AT STRATFORD

Referring to the Kennedys, who will open a two-night season in the Town Hall, Stratford, this evening, Wellington Times says that “music hath charms” was brilliantly demonstrated last evening by the “Kennedy»” in the Town Hall. The audience was fairly captured by the performance of these talented artistes, and gave expression to their admiration by repeated demands for encores. Items included in the programme were:—“My Ain Folk,” Miss Rose Fitzgerald ; vocal trio, . “Gipsy Lila,” Misses Grace and Fitzgerald and Mr Lanec Kennedy; “Miserere,” scene from opera “II Trovatore,” the Kennedys; baritone solo, “Young Tom O’Devon,” Mr Lance Kennedy; violin solo, “Legende,” Mr Keith Kennedy; cello solo,. “TJngarische Rhapsodic,” Mr Laurie Kennedy, and others stated' h erein. Miss Rose Fitz-gerald-was an especial favourite, hei interpretations being greeted with very evident satisfaction. Miss D. Grace has a rich soprano voice which she controls in a masterly manner. After an efficient rendering of the aria (a) “Preghiera di Tosca” (b) “Love’s F.00.h” by Puccini and,Newton respectively. and in response to the ontcry for an encore. Miss Grace sang “Maggie,” which gave pleasure to the audi T mice.# The individual and collective playing of the Kennedys was a fine musical exhibition of deserving of the warm appreciation accorded them. All of thorn excelled last evening, having to respond time and again to the clamorous a,Whence. , The finale, “The Lose Chord,” YMiss R. Fitzgerald) an,d instrumental .accompaniment was a soul stirring termination to a fine programme and was, rendered in perfect style. That a large gathering will bo in attendance to-night should be beyond doubt, for this is undoubtedly one of the musical treats of the season. The Kennedys. have a cultured pianist in Madame Bertha Kennedy.
