DAWN ASSHETON AND LASZLO SCHWARTZ
COMING TO AUCKLAND Stamped with originality, and with the seal of approval of almost musical land, the act to be presented* at the Regent Theatre on Friday next by Bawn Assheton and Laszlo Schwartz is said to be one of exceptional attractiveness, and one that will surely strike a new note in these highpitcli days of entertainment. “In the costume songs of many nations Miss Assheton’s art blossoms to the full,” enthuses one reviewer. “She is aided by the colourful and faithfully characteristic dresses so gracefully worn.” These songs com-
prise East Indian, Persian, Burmese, Spanish, and Hungarian folk-lore, and Miss Assheton reveals remarkable genius in combining song with dramatic art, her studies in these lands perfecting her in her singing. With butterfly lightness she flits from one song to another, portraying the moods of each nation through personal charm and song inflection. The element of novelty is also increased by the association of Laszlo Schwartz, a Hungarian violinist, who interprets the music of his own country with rare touches of soulful sympathy and feeling. .
