MUNICIPAL BAND CONCERT
A programme of great charm and (variety will be given by the Municipal Band in the Town Hall on Saturday n«xt at 8 p.m. The outstanding numbers are a grand selection from the works of Brahms, and three beaujtiful numbers in suite form by William Byrd (1542-1623) “The Earle of Oxford’s March,” “Wolsey’s Wilde,” and “The Bells.” Instrumental solos will be played by Mr. Fred Bowes (cornet), Mr. Hal. C. McLennan (flute), find Mr. J. Purchase (euphonium). Vocal items will be given by Miss Kay Christie, with Mr. Leo. Whittaker at the piano. Walter Forde, British screen comedian and movie director, believes in elaborate detail work in his films. “The fcilent House” includes many striking scenes. There is a most unusual effect in one of the scenes in the Chinese house of a mandarin. A fan 12ft high and 24ft across, has been constructed, and is composed of ivory and jewels, including six living jewels—the pick of London’s beautiful revue girls, who are strapped by jewelled bands to the ribs of the fan.
