ENTERTAINMENTS.

- PETER DAWSON Tomorrow evening the .English Concert Company, with Mr. Peter Dawson as its star artist, will give its concert in the Town Hall,’ the box plan ! for which is open at Finch’s Bazaar. I Realising the advantages of a varied | concert programme to suit all tastes, j Dawson has a number of artists : whose talents are unlimited in their | respective spheres. Mr. Dawson is a j tewer cf strength as a concert artist, | he treats his items with an artistry i that compels admiration. His London j and provincial successes have extendI ed over a period of eight years during j which time he has accomplished that I which few others have done. His name is now a household .word.

j Speaking of Mr Peter Dawson, the j Brisbane “Standard” says: “He sang i with the beautiful voice quality, and | with an artistic sense that was most satisfying. The sheer cleverness of fas melodious bass stood out conspicuously in works like “O Ruddier than the Cherry” (Handel) and “I’m a Roamer” (Mendelssohn) and the crisp staccato and wonderful breath control in the one, and the brilliant tempo of the ether, were points that gave real distinction to Mr Dawson’s renderings, and he left' the audience quite dazzled with the rare merit of the singing. No strain affected the rich power of the singer or robbed his voice of its music. His encores were (Tosti) and “Little Grey Home in the West,” songs which increased one’s admiration for his charms as a lyric ai*tist.” For the convenience of tradesmen and assistants, the management announce that the concert will start at 8.30 istead of 8 o’clock.
