ENTERTAINMENTS.

ANZAC NIGHT CONCERT. A sacred concert is to be given hi the Empire Theatre on the evening of Anzac Day by the New Plymouth Choral Society, the proceeds from which are to be given entirely to the Returned Soldiers’ Association. Many of these men are now out of employment, and assistance for them is urgently needed. This concert, therefore, will give an opportunity for those who wish to help a most d’eserving cause. The choir of the Choral Society will be heard in a number of choruses and part songs, including the hymn “Lead Kindly Light,” which is being sung at the special request of a number of returned soldiers. Several of the most popular local singers will take part In ute programme, including Mrs. F. C. Ferry (soprano) and Mr. W. L. Hay (tenor?, while several instrumental items will be given by members of the Fourth Battalion Band. The charges for admission are 2s and Is, the number of ! seats at the lower price being limited. There is no amusement tax on these ; prices. An interesting programme is assured, and patrons should be early in order to avoid disappointment, as for such an object and on such a night the building is certain to be crowded. The concert will commence at 7.45.

THE SISTINE CHOIR. Mozart’s expression of admiration and amazement on hearing the Sistine Choir for the first time was on somewhat similar lines to that of Pius IV, who, in the sixteenth century, said to Palestrina, the then conductor, “You have given us in the earthly Jerusalem a foretaste of the new song which the Holy Apostle John heard in me Heavenly Jerusalem while in his prophetic trance.” An unusually interesting feature of the tour in New Zealand will be the inclusion on the programme of the celebrated Gloria of the Codex of Palestrina, which was announced lost at the Historical Musical Congress in Rome in 1902. Fabulous sums were offered for the recovery of this precious manuscript, which it was thought had been smuggled out of Italy by international thieves. It was lately discovered among a lot of other ancient but less valuable papers in one of the smaller libraries of the King’s Palace. The Messrs. E. J. and Dan Carroll are io direct the New Zealand tour, which will commence at Wellington about June 12 and finish at Auckland about July 7.
