SCHOOL FUNDS HELPED
CONCERT AT ONEHUNGA The Foresters’ Theatre, Onehunga, was well filled last evening when a good programme of vocal and instrumental music was presented by Madame de la Roche in aid of the Onehunga Convent School funds. A feature of the entertainment was the tenderness and delicacy imparted to Chopin’s “Grand Valse op. 42,” and “Berceuse,” as interpreted by Miss Thelma Gallaher, L.A.B. The melodious and popular negro folk songs as sung by a quartet composed of Misses Alma McGruer and Beryl Smith, and Messrs. James Simpson and Duncan Black, evoked enthusiastic applause. Miss McGruer also sang “Prince Charming” and “Garden of Happiness,” the latter as a duet with Miss Beryl Smith. Other -soloists were Miss Kay Christie, Frederick Simpson, James Simpson and Duncan Black. Mr. F. Nash produced melodies from a hand saw, and H. McSkimming and James Sharp, as “radio pals,” supplied several humorous items. Joseph Pelham (violin) and little Wynne Simpson (piano) both played charmingly, while the beautifully played accompaniments by Miss Thelma Gallaher compelled admiration. At the conclusion of the programme Madame de la Roche was made the recipient of a suitable presentation in appreciation of her efforts in organising the concert.
