THE "SCARLET TROUBADOURS"
Mr Edward Branscombe, who is introducing to Masterton the "Scarlet troubadours" at the Town Hall on Friday and Saturday, November 27th and 28th, is anxious to make it known that the style of performance they give must not be classified as "vaudeville" as recognised in this country. Mr Branscombe's object nas been to show how much more acceptable music can be made when interpreted by really good singers, and to carry this scheme into effect he has only included with the "Scarlet Troubadours" vocalists of refinement and repute. In alluding to the performances of "The Scarlet Troubadours," one critic writes: —"lt is a new departure from all conventional forms, and first to last there is not a dull moment. They sing, dance, jest and make merry in thoroughly whole-hearted fashion, and provide a feast of music and merriment which goes with brilliant sparkle from start to finish."
