FAMOUS ELOCUTIONIST
ALEXANDER WATSON’S FAREWELL Absolutely the final recital in Auckland will ibe given by the famous elocutionist and actor, Mr. Alexander Watson, an the Town Hall concert chamber this evening. A comprehensive programme has been arranged. The famous forum scene from Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” will be the first item, followed by a strong contrast in Sir J. M. Barrie’s “A Holiday in Bed.” “The Crowning of Dreaming John,” a fine example of John Drinkwater’s art, will be the next number, and the first part of the programme will conclude with “The Flight of Little Em’ly” (Dickens). A splendid selection from the works of Rudyard Kipling will comprise “The Ballad of the Clampherdown,” “Big Steamers,” “The Ballad of the Bolivar,” “Fuzzy Wuzzy” and “Boots.”’ Hilaire Belloc will be represented by some of the best of his nonsense verses in two of the “Cautionary Tales,” and Mr. Watson will make his final appearance in “Rubinstein’s Piano-Playing” (Moses Adams). Last evening Mr. Watson entertained a large audience with a Dickens-Kip-ling recital. His marvellous interpretation of the writings of these two authors could not fail to put his audience on the top of a wave of enthusiasm.
