Music lovers of New Plymouth will be glad to know that Miss Constance Leatham is to give a pianoforte recital here at a an early date. Miss I.catham received a very flattering reception when &he appeared in a recital in Christchureh in November last, and the critics of that city gave her the warmest praise for her work, which included solos from the greatest masters, sum as Beethoven's "Appasionata" sonata, and the BachTansig Toccato, and Frvite in D Minor. In a notico of her Christchurch recital, the Sun said: "It is not given to many young players: to have so masterly a.grip of the monumental "Appasionata" sonata, nor does one often find a member of the gentler sex who can handle Tansig's famous transcription of Bach's Toccata and Fryne with such truly remarkable intellectual insight." The great works will be oil Miss Leatham's New Plymouth programme, and a treat is in store for tiwse who hear her. The proceeds of the recital are to be devoted to the New Plymouth Girls' Hostel Fund. The dato is Friday, August 20. Fuller particular* Inter.
