Auckland Operatic Society The Auckland Operatic Society has abandoned the idea of staging “Rio Rita” this season. It is negotiating for “Rose Marie.” In a list of prospective productions which I obtained from the Williamson representative in Wellington recently for the Hamilton Operatic Society, “Rose Marie” was said t-o be not available Hamilton Society’s Producer Recovering. The latest news regarding Mr Walter George, who produced “Rio Rita” and “The Vagabond King” for the Hamilton Operatic Society, is that lie has so far recovered in health as to be able to leave hospital and return to his home on the sunny heights of Kurrajong, New South Wales. There will be widespread hope for the complete recovery of Mr George.
