THE SINGER

Magic Quality Of Boy’s Voice WOMEN’S HEARTS RESPOND (Written for THE SUN) It was at the “At Home” given, in the Lewis Eady Hall to welcome the Westminster Glee Singers to Auckland. . . . One moment he was a little chap of 12, in an immaculate Eton suit, busily bolting cake with the rest of the boy choristers; the next moment he was Angel Face, with an angel voice, singing with a wonderful flute-like quality of the coming of the swallows. He sang as a sky-lark sings, for sheer joy. Sunshine and the scent of wild blossoms were with him. The song ended. A hush, a moment’s silence. ... A woman ran forward to the little stage. She threw a bunch of flowers at the boy's feet. Others followed until the blushing lad had an armful of blossoms. What magic is in a boy’s voice that it sets the chords of a woman's heart vibrating? Is it that deepest of all human emotions, the call of motherhood? It was not merely individual. The boy sang for all boyhood, to the heart of all womanhood. HENRY HAYWARD. “THE SPY” AT PICTUREDROME The bill at the popular Milford Picturedrome this evening will be headed by Fritz Lang’s super-thriller, “The Spy.” “The Spy” is a story of the workings of the secret services of Europe and illustrates in vivid manner the risks run by service agents in their tasks of international espionage.
