AMUSEMENTS.

FISK JUBILEE SINGERS. Residents of Mastertori and district can confidently look forward to a gen • uine musical treat on Thursday and Friday nights next, when the worldwide renowned organisation, the Fisk Jubilee Sir'gera will reappear at the Town Hall after a lengthy absence. There is a charm about the Fisii Jubilee Singers and their work that no other vocalists who have appeared in Australasia can claim to have won. Their eccentric enthusiasm and their wierd and wonder ful choruses, combined with the peculiar timbre characteristic of negro voices, give these old favourites special attractiveness of their own./ In their programmes jubilee choruses and plantation melodies bulk largely, and they are do full,of rich melody and beautiful effects of light and shade that one ceases to wohder at .the frequently-made assertion that audiences never get satisfied wib them and always clamour for more. The present company is strong, jn, soloists, while glees, medleys, coon |ohgs, musical sketches, banjo and guitar solos", will ensuie a diversified programme calculated to suit all tastes. Popular prices will be charged arid seats may ds reserved at Miss Rives.
