A CORRECTION In the issue of THE SUN of last Saturday we published a. photograph of Miss Audrey Perry, the talented Auckland elocutionist, with a parapraph to the effect that she had returned from Hamilton where she had been appearing in Mr. Russell-Wood's recital. Unfortunately our information was incorrect, for Miss Perry is one of Mrs. IT. Bartley-Baxter’s pupils and not one of Mr. Russell-Wood’s. Mrs. Bartley-Baxter had also recently j returned from the Waikato, | where she acted as judge in the elocu- | tionary section of the competitions, | and earned for herself the glowing enconiums of the local press by virtue of her excellent criticism and discerning awards.
