A very enjoyable concert given in St. Mary’s Hall, Carterton, on Sunday evening by a party of Maori vocalists and dancers from Masterton, resulted in an encouraging contribution towards the expenses of the large-scale repairs to the Convent school, which was badly damaged by the earthquake. The concert party was under the direction of Miss Mary Greenlees, whose engaging personality and undoubted talent contributed largely to the success of the items, which met with the enthusiastic applause of the audience which packed the building. The choir showed an unusual versatility by its successful and charming renderings of songs sacred and classical. Maori and European, old and modern. Individual items included: Poi dances by Peggy Broughton, Queenie Rimene and Rosina Kawana; solo hula, Rua Karaitiana; Irish jig, Irene Greenlees; song, “Believe Me,” Tommy and John Fatete ;“Loch Lomond,’ Marua Patete; “Chatter-Nooga-Chooshoo,” M. Greenless. Miss Buckley was a competent pianist.
