PUPILS’ RECITAL

PERFORMANCE IN SAVAGE CLUB ROOMS. . EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT. An excellent recital was given last evening in the Savage Club rooms by the pupils of Mrs A. Miller Hope, L.R.S.M. The hall was crowded and all present thoroughly enjoyed the evening’s programme. A popular item was the troubadour play, a singing play based on quaint old English folk songs. It was presented by the music appreciation class. All the items were well done and reflected great credit on those taking part. A minute’s silence was observed at the interval at 9 o’clock.
