FAMOUS ELOCUTIONIST
ALEXANDER WATSON'S RECITALS For the last 25 years Alexander Watson has been Great Britain’s leading elocutionist and he is now visiting Auckland for the last time. The Town Hall concert chamber was well filled for the fifth recital last night, when the two big numbers were from “Romeo and Juliet” and “The Tempest.” The second half of the programme was varied and interest-
ing, including pleasant passages from the works of many authors from George Eliot to Alfred Noyes. The second-to-last recital will be given this evening. It will contain mostly humour and sentiment from Dickens. Selections from the novelist’s works will include “Marley’s Ghost” and “The Reformation of Scrooge,” from “A Christmas Carol”; “Winkle’s Misadventure at Bath,” from “Pickwick Papers”; “The Charge of the Heavy Brigade” (Tennyson); ‘Mulholland’s Contract,” “Be Fit,” “The Married Man,” “Boots,” by Rudyard Kipling: and “An Irish Cricket Match” (Martin). Special concessions to students are being allowed. Booking arrangements are advertised.
