THE MALLINSONS.
The Mallinson's Song Recital will take place in the Town Hall on Friday, August 28th. A Melbourne paper, criticising the first Mallinson recital in Australia, said .'-—"Twentytwo songs were given on Saturday evening by Mrs Mallinson, the composer himself placing the accompaniments. Mrs Mallinson has a soprano voice of a pure and lovely quality, and, as her exacting programme proves, of wonderful staying power. She rarely exerted her full strength, and her normal tone was rather piano than even memrforte, whilst her pianissimos which were frequently employed were very delicate. She showed power of emotional expression in all the many phases demanded by the programme. Mr Mallinson accompanied the songs with remarkable sympathy and clearness, and the accompaniments being all of them of quite as much importance as the voice part, the perfect unanimity between himself and the singer in every slightest nuance of tone and accent and time was a very important element in the success of the recital." The party to visit Masterton includes, besides the Mallinsons Miss Rebe Kussmann, Mr William Robyns, and Miss Evelyn Wyman. The box plan is open at Miss Rive's.
