The Singer and the Songs
"HE suggestion that a prophet has to '~ leave home in order to be appreciated is certainly not true in the case of Mary Pratt, a singer whom Dunedin audiences always welcome with applause, and whose mere appearance on the platform is the signal for a demonstration of affection. In 4YA’s "Wednesday Serenade," she was heard recently in wellknown Sanderson. ballads, and it was astonishing how her artistry, plus the interest added by an accompaniment by the 4YA Concert Orchestra, lent these shop-worn offerings a dignity they do not ordinarily possess. Indeed it is difficult to imagine why the programme arrangers found it suitable to waste such a glorious voice on songs which any average voice could manage.
