CONCERT AT SOUTH DUNEDIN

The promoters of the concert in aid of the building fund of the new Catholic, school. South; Dunedin, which was held in the Town Hall, South Dunedin, on Wednesday evening, should be highly pleased with the result of their efforts. They had secured the services ,of .some of the best local talent as contributors to the programme, and the public showed their appreciation •by crowding the hall to its utmost holding capacity. The programme submitted was a lengthy one, but the audience were so pleased with the items that nearly every performer was recalled. From a musical and financial point of view the concert was an undoubted success. It opened with a piano solo, ‘ The Erl King,’ splendidly played by Miss M. Cunningham, A.T.C.L. Vocal items were contributed by Mrs. R. A. Power, Mrs. E. J. Mee, Misses A. Heffernan and Daisy Hall, Messrs. J. McGrath, J. A. Rawlinson, C. James, J. A. Haggitt, and J. Leech. Miss IST. Kenny gave a couple of recitations in good style, and Mr.' W. W. Crawford a character sketch which created much amusement. The Kaikorai Band quartet (Messrs. C. Eades, J. Currie, W. Goughian, and D. Whelan) contributed two very acceptable selections. The accompaniments were played in a finished manner by Mrs. J. Woods. At the close- of the concert Rev. Father Delany expressed his appreciation of the generous manner in which his appeal on behalf of the school building fund had been responded to by those present, and he tendered very cordial thanks to the performers, all of whom richly deserved the hearty approval so freely -bestowed upon them by the audience.
